| Summary | "The Fall of the Great Republic (1886-88)" by Henry Standish Coverdale is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the causes and events leading to the downfall of the United States Republic, framing it as a cautionary tale about the perils of popular self-government and moral decay within society. The narrative suggests that ignorance, corruption, and a lack of political integrity among the citizenry precipitated a catastrophic revolution. At the start of the work, Coverdale introduces the socio-political landscape of the U.S. after the Civil War, depicting a nation perceived as capable of self-governance but actually teetering on the brink of disaster. He highlights the economic struggles that plagued the country between 1882 and 1887, prevalent social unrest, and the rise of socialist ideologies fueled by discontent among the working class. The opening sets the stage for a detailed examination of how these factors combined to ignite widespread revolt, culminating in a dramatic transformation of society and governance that threatened the very fabric of the nation.
