Summary

Praise for the previous edition:
"Black-and-white photos and sidebars about government history and process enhance the neatly presented volume...."—Booklist

Third parties exist on the very edge of mainstream politics. They enter candidates in elections they cannot hope to win. They champion issues the major parties are sometimes reluctant to touch. But third parties serve America well—they speak for ordinary citizens whose concerns both the state and federal government have yet to notice. As readers of this eBook will learn, third parties are often the voice of change and the front-runners of progress.

Beginning with the Tertium Quids in 1806 and continuing to today's Green and Libertarian Parties, The History of Third Parties, Updated Edition chronicles third parties and their increasing visibility in the American political system. Enlivened by full-color photographs, descriptive sidebars, and a beneficial glossary, this eBook is ideal for student research and meets national social studies curriculum standards.
