    Mark Voss‐Hubbard, Mark Voss-Hubbard et al.ARTICLEJournal of American History2001Cited by: 1

    When did the elitebased politics of the early national period develop into a fullblown two party system? What determined voter choice in the age of mass political parties? Donald J. Ratcliffe returns to these longstanding questions and offers a new periodization scheme for American political history. Ratcliffe holds that a massbased twoparty system was in place long before the organizational innovations of the Democratic and Whig parties. The dep…

  • The nullification crisis, southern discontents, and the American political process

    Donald J RatcliffeARTICLEAmerican Nineteenth Century History2000

    The Nullification crisis has frequently been misunderstood because too much emphasis has been placed on South Carolina and the dramatic events of 1832–33. The broader perspective presented here reveals that not just South Carolina but the whole South (except the border states) turned against federal authority in the 1820s, driven by economic discontents and anxieties about maintaining control of the South's racial minorities.

  • Voter Turnout in Early Ohio

    Donald J RatcliffeARTICLEJournal of the Early Republic1987

    By the 1840s a far, far greater proportion of the adult white male population of the United States voted regularly than had done so fifty years earlier. This significant change, we know, owed less to alterations in suffrage law, since the franchise was already broadly available in most states by 1789, than to the increase in the number of polling stations and, even more, to the growing interest of the electorate in politics.1 So much seems certai…
