""Democracy In The Connecticut Frontier Town Of Kent"" by Charles S. Grant is a historical account of the development of democracy in the small town of Kent, Connecticut during the 18th and 19th centuries. The book explores how the town's settlers, who were primarily farmers, established a system of government that allowed for equal representation and participation in decision-making. Grant examines the role of town meetings, the election process, and the town's response to major events such as the American Revolution and the Civil War. The author also delves into the social and economic factors that influenced the town's democratic development, including the rise of industrialization and the influx of new residents. Through extensive research and analysis, Grant provides a comprehensive understanding of how democracy took root in a small, rural community and how it evolved over time. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of democracy in America, Connecticut history, or the development of small towns in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
