Inveterate imperialists
In the decades preceding the U.S. Civil War, sectional conflict frequently took place in overlapping continental, hemispheric, Atlantic, and international contexts. Within these broader geographies, northern and southern whites used conceptions of empire to construct a hemispheric, Manichean struggle pitting free labour versus slave labour, democracy against aristocracy and monarchy, and popular sovereignty versus slaveholder sovereignty and the …
President, Planter, Politician
Historians have long sought to assess the role of President James Monroe in forging and then negotiating the passage of the Missouri Compromise of 1820. Their assessments have been written within a historiographical tradition that praises statesmanship over sectionalism, celebrates southern statesmen's invocations of union and nationalism, and elevates compromise to the loftiest of American political values. Within that historiographical paradigm…

They Are Very Much Interested in Obtaining an Unlimited Slavery
By late 1804, discontent with United States government was growing among white inhabitants of newly acquired Louisiana Purchase territories. That fall, the representatives elected by of their respective districts in Upper Louisiana met in St. Louis protest their new territorial government: or, as they deemed it, privation of some of dearest rights enjoyed by freemen! The freemen especially feared that United States might deprive them of their rig…
