{"product_id":"the-dorr-war-rory-raven-9781540224293","title":"The Dorr War: Treason, Rebellion \u0026 the Fight for Reform in Rhode Island","description":"The short and portly Rhode Island aristocrat was hardly the image of the people's champion, but in 1841, Thomas Dorr became just that. At a time when only white male landowners could vote, the idealistic Dorr envisioned a more democratic state. In October of that year, the People's Convention ratified a new constitution that extended voting rights to those without land, and Dorr was named governor. That act would spark a small civil war, and violence erupted as the people of the state stood sharply divided in a conflict that reached the president and United States Supreme Court. Author Rory Raven charts the tumultuous and ultimately tragic history of a man and a movement that were too far ahead of their time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rory Raven\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540224295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540224293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Rory Raven","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43938208940287,"sku":"9781540224293","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5a5cb11e-3f78-4c49-b65f-f83edb221a62.jpg?v=1681434381","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-dorr-war-rory-raven-9781540224293","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
