A Bone To Gnaw For The Democrats

William Cobbett's 1807 political pamphlet offers a sharp critique of the Democratic Party, portraying it as corrupt and a threat to national stability. He likens Democrats to dogs that cannot be satisfied, relentlessly undermining established order with radical ideas like universal suffrage and abolition. Accusing them of collusion with France during its conflict with Britain, Cobbett's work ignited significant discourse on democracy's future in America. This influential piece remains a valuable historical document reflecting early 19th-century political tensions.
