"In this study of the Federalists in the South during the formative years of the Republic, Mr. Rose shows . . . that it was the Federalists rather than their Republican opponents who originated many of the basic party structures and devices for eliciting wide public support . . . Usually dismissed as reactionaries in a new era of liberalism, the Federalists during this period were an active political force that claimed the loyalties of many of the leaders in state and local government and established considerable support among southerners for the federal policies of George Washington and John Adams." --dust jacket.
