Extended interview: Jon Grinspan on the history of partisanship in America by CBS Sunday Morning on YouTube

EXTENDED INTERVIEW: Jon Grinspan on the history of partisanship in America (YouTube Video)
Intense and even violent political discourse in America is not a new development. In this extended interview, historian Jon Grinspan, a curator at the Smithsonian Institution and author of "The Age of Acrimony: How Americans Fought to Fix Their Democracy, 1865-1915," talks with CBS News' John Dickerson about traditional forms of politicking that were prevalent after the Civil War; how reformists in the early 20th century brought about a less ugly form of politics, and a different way for voters to identify themselves with parties; and why, today, those ugly trends are making a return.
