Summary "A Political History of the State of New York, Volumes 1-3" by DeAlva Stanwood Alexander is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles the political dynamics and key figures in New York's governance from the colonial period through the early decades of American independence. It delves into the intricate relationships, conflicts, and transformations within political parties in New York, shedding light on notable leaders such as George Clinton, Alexander Hamilton, and Martin Van Buren, among others. At the start of this comprehensive history, the author outlines the complex political landscape of New York during the revolutionary era. He describes the transition from colonial governance to independence, marked by the rise of numerous political factions and leaders who shaped the state's trajectory. With a focus on the formation of the state's government in response to the exigencies of the American Revolution, the early chapters introduce key historical figures, their actions, and the political maneuvers that would define the era. The narrative highlights various committees that played pivotal roles in organizing resistance against British rule, the subsequent crafting of the state constitution, and the contest for leadership among rival factions.
