Republicanism Vs. Grantism

""Republicanism Vs. Grantism: The Presidency A Trust, Not A Plaything And Perquisite"" is a political treatise written by Charles Sumner in 1872. The book is a critique of President Ulysses S. Grant's administration and its perceived abuses of power. Sumner, a prominent Republican senator and abolitionist, argues that the presidency is a public trust and not a personal possession or means of enrichment. He condemns Grant's use of executive power to further his own interests and those of his associates, and calls for a return to the principles of republican government. The book is a reflection of the political tensions of the time, with Sumner representing the more progressive wing of the Republican Party and Grant embodying the more conservative faction. Overall, ""Republicanism Vs. Grantism"" offers a compelling argument for the importance of ethical leadership and public service in American politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
