While progressive Republicans like Teddy Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower revived Lincoln's vision and expanded the government, their opponents appealed to Americans' latent racism and xenophobia to regain political power, linking taxation and regulation to redistribution and socialism. In the modern era, the schism within the Republican Party has grown wider, pulling the GOP ever further from its founding principles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow with a new epilogue that reflects on the Trump era and what is likely to come after it, \u003ci\u003eTo Make Men Free \u003c\/i\u003eis a sweeping history of the party that was once considered America's greatest political hope, but now lies in disarray.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeather Cox Richardson\u003c\/b\u003e is an American historian and professor of history at Boston College.
