Everyone in Congress Is Obsessed with This Book About the Post-Civil War Era

Politico  

Last week, I used a day back in Washington to go visit Grinspan at his office. Because a lot of those people in the late 19th century feel like they’re losing control of society. There’s a lot of voters — I don’t want to judge them — who would rather their politician talk like somebody on reality TV than somebody in Parliament 100 years ago. Even in the bare knuckle, ward boss politics of the 19th century — the president was like the national grandfather who’s supposed to be likable, polite, dignified. We’re locked in this cycle of these really close elections, like the 1880s, 1890s, when a couple thousand voters decide things and then they lose in the next election.
