Death of a Nation: Plantation Politics and the Making of the Democratic Party Free Audiobook Download by Dinesh D'Souza
The Democrat party was formed in 1829. It was founded on a plantation economy, which meant that its members had substantial interests in the agricultural industry. In the beginning, the Democrats benefited from slavery and white supremacy, but it evolved away from this early period of bigotry to become a key institution in American politics. This audiobook by Dinesh D'Souza explains how the Democrat party became what it is today, largely due to its principles of virtue, equality and democracy.
In Death of a Nation, Dinesh D'Souza argues that American politicians have been carrying on a centuries-old battle against the plantations. They believed in an America where freedom and liberty would be sacrificed to create a society that was just and fair. The Democratic Party has been at the forefront of this fight against slavery, corruption, and exploitation.
Dinesh D'Souza, author of Death of a Nation: Plantation Politics and the Making of the Democratic Party, was in the news for his recent visit to the White House. D'Souza had previously been called "one of America's most prolific and consistent conservative pundits" by The New Yorker. His latest book looks at the history of different political parties, specifically focusing on how slavery shaped both the Democratic and Republican parties.
Death of a Nation: Plantation Politics and the Making of the Democratic Party is the true story of how the party that now controls America's institutions was born on a plantation. It tells how Democrats were originally willing to make slavery a permanent institution, but in order for their planters to succeed, they needed more than slave votes - they had to buy off northern politicians with policies that undercut republicanism.
"Dinesh D'Souza's Death of a Nation: Plantation Politics and the Making of the Democratic Party, is an exploration into the antecedents of plantation politics, from 1789 to 1860. D'Souza argues that, contrary to conventional historical wisdom, plantation politics not only didn't die out with slavery but became a crucial component in the making of American democracy."
