Gettysburg and American history
The article asks why Gettysburg has always been the granted an exceptional place in the memory of the Civil War.It argues that Gettysburg, more perfectly than any other battle, has suited narratives of the American nation structured around conservation, preservation, and reassurance, in which the crisis of the 1860s is pre-eminently one of Armageddon averted, not a revolution accomplished, even while, in the avoidance of catastrophe, Gettysburg h…

Jonathan W. White. Emancipation, the Union Army, and the Reelection of Abraham Lincoln
Conducting elections in the midst of a war is a delicate matter even in the best of circumstances. And if the war is internally divisive, while also being fought, in part, on the principle that election results must be respected, then it is even harder. If you believe that free elections are the hallmark of liberty, yet you also believe that if one side wins liberty would die, how far can you go to ensure the right outcome? Historians of the Civi…
The Politics of Theatrical Reform in Victorian America
Beginning in the late 1840s there was a concerted effort by a group of editors and opinion-formers to encourage the development of a more respectable and “moral” theater. The American Dramatic Fund Association, based in New York City but consciously part of a transatlantic movement, was founded in 1848 as the organizational embodiment of this cause and the Unitarian minister Henry W. Bellows was one of its foremost spokesmen. This article explore…

The Blessed Place of Freedom
Partisan politics and the public sphere
The Civil War North presents an interesting case study of the relationship between a highly politicized public sphere and partisan electoral politics. Although the two‐party system remained intact throughout the war, the concept and practice of partisanship was challenged by the social experience of Northerners who ‘acted politically’ when they took part in the war effort. The creation of a mass citizen army and the mobilization of women and men …
