About The Partisan Leader
The Partisan Leader; A Tale of The Future is a political novel by the antebellum Virginia author and jurist Nathaniel Beverley Tucker. A two-volume work first published in 1836 in New York City by Duff Green under the pen-name Edward William Sydney, the novel is set thirteen years into the future, in 1849, and imagines a world where tyrannical four-term president Martin Van Buren oppresses the Southern United States, and the American states south of Virginia secede from the Union. The story traces the formation of a band of Virginia insurgents who seek to free their state from federal control and adjoin it to the independent Southern Confederacy.
