Tocqueville Society

The Alexis de Tocqueville Socity is named for a young Frenchman who visited America in 1831. His observations and discussions with prominent Americans were published in "Democracy in America." He applauded the voluntary spirit and observed that Americans always helped each other in times of need.

"I must say that I have seen Americans make great and real sacrifices to the public welfare; and have noticed a hundred instances in which they have hardly ever failed to lend faithful support to one another."
