Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the United States From the Foundation of Virginia to the Reconstruction of the Union, Vol. 2 of 2
The contemporary warfare between capital and free labour in the North and in Western Europe presented a spectacle alarming to statesmen and economists familiar with the noise, con?ict, and turbulence of free society - a spectacle simply hideous in the eyes of men like Calhoun. Those were the days of trades-union terrorism, of secret conspiracy and assassination, of machine-breaking and rick-burning, of industrial insurrection and agrarian assassination.
