Аннотация

The article is devoted to the analysis of the historiography of the Whig party. The party which was not successful in its “presidential” politics and seemed to disappear from the national political arena rather rapidly nevertheless contributed to the development of the economic, political and intellectual dimensions on the U.S. history. The author follows the changing attitudes toward Whigs’ history evolved by the representatives of different historical trends from the 19th century to the 1990’s.
