New York's highly volatile and contentious political life, Patricia U. Bonomi shows, gave rise to a number of interest groups for whose support political leaders had to compete, resulting in new levels of democratic participation.HISTORY / United States / Colonial Period (1600-1775)bisacshNew York (State)HistoryColonial period, ca. 1600-1775New York (State)Politics and governmentTo 1775HISTORY / United States / Colonial Period (1600-1775).974.7/02Bonomi Patricia U.1122524MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814969203321A factious people3974647UNINA
