Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the history of North Carolina's 1918 Democratic Convention. The gathering is of particular historical significance as it took place as the United States was entering WWI, and demonstrates the extraordinary pressures and duties faced by statesmen during such conflict. The author examines the complexities of the political landscape at the time, as Democrats faced the challenge of balancing patriotism with regional interests. Despite the pressing need for unity during wartime, partisan politics remained deeply ingrained within the party. The author provides valuable insights into the evolving role of political parties during times of crisis, with an emphasis on how rhetoric and policy are shaped by the prevailing historical context. This book offers a comprehensive record of the speeches given during the convention, including addresses by local politicians and President Woodrow Wilson himself. More than a simple compilation, the author uses these primary sources to craft an engaging examination of how local, national, and international issues converged to influence political discourse and the realities of American democracy.
