The Fires of Philadelphia
Zachary M. Schrag's book combines biographies of rioters and their victims, and the socio-cultural context in which the riots developed. Though Shcrag offers analysis of the riots, he favors “detail and description,” which makes the book “walloping fun” to read, Ritter concludes.
Pope's Day and the Language of Popery in Eighteenth‐Century New England
This article explains how American colonists' commemoration of religious conflicts in the past, particularly the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, gradually diverged from British systems of discourse. In the Revolutionary Era, Americans commemorated Guy Fawkes Day, a holiday which had initially been established by the king of England to solidify English nationalism, so as to criticise and overthrow British governance. The perseverance of Guy Fawkes Day, or…
Inventing America's First Immigration Crisis
Why have Americans expressed concern about immigration at some times but not at others? In pursuit of an answer, this book examines America’s first nativist movement, which responded to the rapid influx of 4.2 million immigrants between 1840 and 1860 and culminated in the dramatic rise of the National American Party. As previous studies have focused on the coasts, historians have not yet completely explained why westerners joined the ranks of the…
The King James Bible as nationalist school curriculum amid immigration to the American West
During the era of westward expansion, Americanism became tied to visions of conquering the West with American customs and values. Public schools especially served the interests of promoting nationalism and inducing assimilation. Implicitly Protestant Christian school curricula, however, repelled many Catholics and immigrants from the very institution designed to induce their assimilation. The mid-nineteenth-century school controversy directly mot…
Immigration, Crime, and the Economic Origins of Political Nativism in the Antebellum West
Scholars have described political nativism during the antebellum era of US history as the product of cultural paranoia, social anxiety, and political expediency. Much less examined are the ways in which economic motives contributed to political nativism. During the late 1840s and early 1850s, Americans in urban areas resented higher expenditures on poorhouses, prisons, mental asylums, police, and other institutions that expanded to serve immigran…
