520    "A raucous history of American democracy at its wildest--
       and a bold rethinking of the relationship between the 
       people and their politics. Democracy was broken. Or that 
       was what many Americans believed in the decades after the 
       Civil War. Shaken by economic and technological disruption,
       they sought safety in aggressive, tribal partisanship. The
       results were the loudest, closest, most violent elections 
       in U.S. history, driven by vibrant campaigns that drew our
       highest-ever voter turnouts. At the century's end, 
       reformers finally restrained this wild system, trading 
       away participation for civility in the process. The result
       was a calmer, cleaner democracy, but also a more distant 
       one. Americans' voting rates crashed and never recovered. 
       This is the origin story of the "normal" politics of the 
       20th century. Only by exploring where that civility and 
       restraint came from can we understand what is happening to
       our democracy today. The Age of Acrimony charts the rise 
       and fall of 19th-century America's unruly politics through
       the lives of a remarkable father-daughter dynasty. The 
       radical congressman William "Pig Iron" Kelley and his 
       fiery, Progressive daughter Florence Kelley led lives 
       packed with drama, intimately tied to their nation's 
       politics. Through their friendships and feuds, campaigns 
       and crusades, Will and Florie trace the narrative of a 
       democracy in crisis. In telling the tale of what it cost 
       to cool our republic, historian Jon Grinspan reveals our 
       divisive political system's enduring capacity to heal 
       itself"--|cProvided by publisher.
