The Dorr War: Or The Constitutional Struggle In Rhode Island (1901) is a historical book written by Arthur May Mowry that details the political and social unrest that occurred in Rhode Island during the mid-19th century. The book focuses on the conflict between the state government and the suffrage movement led by Thomas Wilson Dorr, who sought to expand voting rights to all white men, regardless of property ownership. The book explores the legal and constitutional battles that ensued, including the adoption of a new state constitution by the suffrage movement and the subsequent suppression of their efforts by the state government. Mowry provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the Dorr War, as well as the aftermath and lasting impact of the conflict on Rhode Island politics and society. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American democracy, constitutional law, and civil rights movements.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
