A Curious Chapter of Political Information in New York
A lengthy investigation traces the Training Society and its influence from its May 1730 founding to its later incorporation in 1805, detailing its role in New York politics, the 1840s Know-Nothing backlash, and the party dynamics shaping municipal and state elections, including implications for the Bible in schools and public office. It notes figures like Jackson, Van Buren, Tompkins, and Grant era personalities, alongside riots, elections, and civic controversies.
