Moral Minorities and the Making of American Democracy unearths the origins of popular minority-rights politics in American history. Focusing on controversies spurred by grassroots moral reform in the early nineteenth century, it shows how a motley array of self-understood minorities reshaped American democracy as they battled laws regulating Sabbath observance, alcohol, and interracial contact.
