520 1 $a"He made a name for himself in the Missouri territory as a land speculator, entrepreneur, lawyer, militia officer, politician, and newspaper editor. He went on to take part in many of the events that shaped the young republic, and his name became a household word. But Duff Green has not found his rightful place in history - until now. W. Stephen Belko has written the first full-scale political investigation of this important figure, examining Green's fundamental role in the politics, society, and economy of Jacksonian America." "Belko presents a balanced appraisal of Green's career, particularly from 1815 to 1850, delving into his personality to tease out the motivations for his pursuit of such wide-ranging ventures. Drawing on a wealth of previously unexploited primary sources, he not only chronicles Green's labyrinthine career but also illuminates Green's rise in the Democratic Party; his role in the creation and development of the Whig Party; and his considerable influence on national debates regarding slavery, nullification, the National Bank, territorial expansion, and foreign relations."--BOOK JACKET.
