Note 177 — Chapter III · THE RED TERROR AND THE WHITE
Reading edition
“Every State in New England is now ruled by the same aristocracy that ruled in 1798—that ruled during the late war.... A band of New England Democrats have encountered the dominant party at vast odds—they have suffered every species of persecution and contumely. Shall these men not be protected by the Administration of the people under General Jackson? If that Administration fail to extend this protection, then indeed it will fail of one of the principal objects for which the people placed them in power by at least two to one of the votes of the Union.”
