The History of U.S. Political Parties
February 12 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Presenter: Brent Burford U.S. political parties have come and gone during the 230 years since the Constitution was ratified. Usually there were two major parties. Occasionally a third party was significant enough to influence the political scene. We will look at the major and minor political parties in U.S. history—what were the issues that caused them to form, how did they change over time, and why did many of them fade away.
