Why I am a Democrat in John Minor Botts's speech
In Newark 1858 Botts declares he is a Democrat by principle not name, arguing democracy rests with equal rights and power to the people, resisting aristocracy. He cites Virginia conventions, property versus persons, universal suffrage, and an ad valorem tax plan to balance wealth with civic duty.
