Grand Old Partisan appreciates Republican reverence for domestic tranquility.
In southern states after the Civil War, the Ku Klux Klan and other Democrat terrorist organizations murdered thousands of African-Americans and also white Republicans. Violence was especially horrific in South Carolina.
One of the GOP’s countermeasures was its 1871 Civil Rights Act. On October 17th, President Ulysses Grant used this authorization to declare martial law in nine counties. Soldiers arrested six hundred Democrat thugs, putting an end to what amounted to an insurgency. Tragically, however, Slavery Party mayhem continued throughout the former Confederacy.

See www.youtube.com/q?v=IzxKCiXc5Qc for a brief video of a Texas Republican praising Back to Basics for the Republican Party.
"This is the most amazing book about politics that I have ever read. The Overview should be required reading for anyone with even a minor interest in government. The remainder is an enthralling history lesson that I will never forget. For years, we have all been misled about the true nature of the GOP. This is the real deal! Read it and be proud!"
"Michael Zak wrote the definitive history of the GOP."
"Back to Basics for the Republican Party is the most significant contribution to the Republican Party in the last twenty years apart from Ronald Reagan."
"Back to Basics for the Republican Party is more important to our party now than ever before."
