The Lost Principle; Or The Sectional Equilibrium: How It Was Created, How Destroyed, How It May Be Restored

""The Lost Principle; Or The Sectional Equilibrium: How It Was Created, How Destroyed, How It May Be Restored"" by John Scott is a historical and political analysis of the concept of sectional equilibrium in the United States. The book discusses how the principle of sectional equilibrium, which was the idea that the North and South should have equal representation and power in government, was established during the early years of the country's history. It then goes on to explore how this principle was gradually eroded over time, leading to the Civil War and the eventual defeat of the Confederacy.The author also discusses how the idea of sectional equilibrium could be restored in modern times, arguing that a renewed commitment to this principle could help address some of the current political and social divisions in the country. Throughout the book, Scott provides a detailed analysis of the historical events and political movements that shaped the concept of sectional equilibrium, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in American history and politics. Overall, ""The Lost Principle"" offers a thought-provoking and insightful perspective on an important aspect of American political history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
