Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Rhode Island once held the line against wider voting. Votes decide who gets counted. In Facts For The People, Jacob Frieze sets out a sharp comparison and exposition of votes taken during the struggle for the free suffrage movement in Providence and beyond, capturing the heat and detail of public decision-making in antebellum Rhode Island. This nineteenth century pamphlet reads like the working papers of a revolution: names, motions, outcomes, and the arguments they implied. For readers drawn to rhode island suffrage and voting rights debates, it offers immediate, grounded evidence rather than hindsight. As a historical primary source from the turbulent 1840s American politics, it sits close to the Dorr Rebellion history that tested the limits of early American democracy. Its plain-spoken accounting shows how legitimacy was built or broken at the ballot box, and why reformers insisted that citizenship required a voice. Perfect for American history research, this historical pamphlet reprint also rewards classic-literature collectors who value authentic political ephemera. It belongs on the shelf beside foundational American pamphlets, where civic ideals are argued line by line. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collector's item and a cultural treasure. For political science students, historians, and curious general readers alike, Frieze's compact record turns a local dispute into a lasting lesson on power, process, and rights. …
