RHODE ISLAND:THE DORR WAR. Constitutional Struggle In Rhode Island, 1970
Arthur May Mowry. Thomas Wilson Dorr. In 1842, the people of Rhode Island
rose up against the state government which refused to liberalize the
suffrage laws and restricted the vote to a small group of landowners.
Thomas Dorr's People's Party established its own constitution, new
elections, installed its government side by side with the conservative
regime and finally resorted to arms. A final impetus between the Jacksonian
period and the Civil War. Maps and photos, Henry Cranston, Thomas W. Dorr,
Samuel Ward King, Samuel Wales, James Simmons, Lemuel Arnold and others.
