Willie Mangum and the North Carolina Whigs in the Age of Jackson

Description:

"From his election in 1824, Willie Mangum was at the epicenter of national and state government. In the 1830s, he emerged as leader of an opposition party--the Whigs--and became an opponent of Andrew Jackson. This book traces their rapid rise to power and their even more rapid fall in the years prior to the Civil War"--
