“Negro President”（ISBN=） 英文原版

In 1800 Thomas Jefferson won the presidential election with
Electoral College votes derived from the three-fths representation
of slaves slaves who could not vote but were still partially
counted as citizens. Moving beyond the recent revisionist debate
over Jefferson’s own slaves and his relationship with Sally
Hemings, Garry Wills instead probes the heart of Jefferson’s
presidency and political life, revealing how the might of the slave
states remained a concern behind his most important policies and
decisions. Jefferson’s foil was Thomas Pickering, who along with
the Federalists fought the president and the institutions that
supported him. In an eye-opening, ingeniously argued expos, Wills
restores Pickering and his allies” dramatic struggle to our
understanding of Jefferson, the creation of the new nation, and the
evolution of our representative democracy.

Garry Wills, one of our most distinguished historians and
critics, is the author of numerous books, including Saint
Augustine, Papal Sin, and the Pulitzer Prize–winning Lincoln at
Gettysburg. He has won many other awards, among them two National
Book Critics Circle Awards and the 1998 National Medal for the
Humanities. A regular contributor to the New York Review of Books,
he is an adjunct professor of history at Northwestern University.
He lives in Evanston, Illinois.
