Quotes by Michael F. Holt (?)

“Not all the king’s horses and all the king’s men, let alone the few diehard Whig fossils who tried to do so, would be able to put it back together again.”
― Michael F. Holt, The Rise and Fall of the American Whig Party: Jacksonian Politics and the Onset of the Civil War
