  • Epic Landscapes: Benjamin Henry Latrobe and the Art of Watercolor

    Open AccessJean H BakerARTICLEPennsylvania History A Journal of…2023

    The publication of Julia Sienkewicz’s Epic Landscapes: Benjamin Henry Latrobe and the Art of Watercolor will hearten cultural pessimists who see the liberal arts in a state of disregard and decay. Epic Landscapes, a title in the series “Studies in Seventeenth-and Eighteenth-Century Art and Culture,” is a gorgeous book. The one-hundred-plus images are beautifully rendered in color. But this is no cocktail table book, though its physical presentati…

  • Affairs of Party: The Political Culture of Northern Democrats in the Mid–Nineteenth Century.

    Jean H BakerBOOKAffairs of Party2020

    Affairs of party, Jean Baker asserts, were a central feature of public life in nineteenth-century America. In this book she explores the way in which the Northern Democrats of the mid-eighteen hundreds lived their public lives. She begins with a psychobiographical explanation of how people became Democrats, weighing the importance of such influences as education and family life. She then discusses two major elements that set Democrats apart from …

    Jean H BakerBOOKVotes for women2002

    Votes for Women brings together in one volume recent scholarship on the struggle of American women for the suffrage. Paralleling recent efforts in popular culture to restore to our national past the story of how women got the vote, these original essays present the latest and best in that history.

  • North over South: Northern Nationalism and American Identity in the Antebellum Era

    Jean H Baker, Stephanie M Grant et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Southern History2002

    In most studies of nationalism, the United States is curiously ignored or is examined only during its colonial and republican periods. But it was the Civil War, argues Susan-Mary Grant, that truly formed the nation by unifying the states once and for all, abolishing slavery, and setting the country on the path to modernity. In light of this, says Grant, the antebellum period was the crucial phase of national construction. In North Over South, Gra…

  • The Imagined Civil War: Popular Literature of the North and South, 1861-1865

    Jean H Baker, Alice FahsARTICLEJournal of American History2001

    Alice Fahs's The Imagined Civil Wa r reintro duces historians to the poems, short stories, novels, songs, “juveniles,” and histories that circulated as vernacular literature during the Civil War. It is not so much that these forms of expression have been forgotten. Most Americans can hum the “Yellow Rose of Texas” or Maryland's inappropriate state song, “Maryland, My Maryland.” We remember as well that our sixteenth president was a great admirer …

  • The Origins of the Republican Party, 1852-1856

    Jean H Baker, William E GienappARTICLEThe Journal of Southern History1988

    During the 1850s, the Jacksonian party system broke down in the North and a new sectional party, the Republicans, succeeded the Whigs in the nation's two party system. Using demographic, voting, and other statistical analysis,as well as the more traditional methods and sources of political history, William Gienapp powerfully demonstrates that the organization of the Republican party was a difficult, complex, and lengthy process, and explains why,…
