Most contemporary historians celebrate Jefferson?s victory over Adams in 1800 as the beginning of the two-party system, but Sisson believes this reasoning is entirely the wrong lesson. Jefferson saw his election as a peaceful revolution by the American people overturning an elitist faction that was stamping out cherished constitutional rights and trying to transform our young democracy into an authoritarian state. If anything, our current two-party system is a repudiation of Jefferson's theory of revolution and his earnest desire that the people as a whole, not any faction or clique, would triumph in government. Sisson's book makes clear that key ideas of the American Revolution did not reach their full fruition until the "Revolution of 1800," to which we owe the preservation of many of our key rights. With contributions by Thom Hartmann that bring out the book?s contemporary relevance, this fortieth anniversary edition contains new insights and reflections on how Jefferson?s vision can help us in our own era of polarization, corruption, government overreach, and gridlock. 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xElection$y1800 606 $aPolitical science$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aRevolutions$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1789-1809 615 0$aPresidents$xElection 615 0$aPolitical science$xHistory. 615 0$aRevolutions$xHistory. 676 $a973.4/6092 700 $aSisson$b Dan$f1937-$01606802 702 $aHartmann$b Thom$f1951- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813662903321 996 $aThe American revolution of 1800$93932764 997 $aUNINA
