| Abstract | "The modern convention continues many of the traditions and rules developed during the first political conventions in the mid-19th century. This study analyzes the birth of the convention process in the 1830s and follows its development between 1832 and 1872, chronicling each of the presidential elections, the leading candidates, key issues, memorable speeches and events"--Provided by publisher. |
