hi-
I think it's about my reading comprehension. Could anyone help me to understand what the bold sentence means in the following paragrah?
It's a short article to discuss about the 19 centry politics in US. It breifly compares Democrats and Whigs during Jackson's presidency.
Whigs, on the other hand, were more comfortable with the market. For them, commerce and economic development were agents of civilization. Nor did the Whigs envision any conflict in society between farmers and workers on the one hand and businesspeople and bankers on the other. Economic growth would benefit everyone by raising national income and expanding opportunity. The government's responsibility was to provide a well-regulated economy that guaranteed opportunity for citizens of ability.
It's my guessing. Does the bold sentence mean, Whigs did not imagine any conflict in society between farmers and workers on the one side and businessmen and bankers on the other side?
By the way, I also need a tip to help me understand "Nor did..." such a sentence structure. What is it? and, how to use it well?
Please advice or clarify. Thanks!
