Grassroots Leviathan: Agricultural Reform and the Rural North in the Slaveholding Republic, by Ariel Ron
Slavery, Capitalism, and the Interpretations of the Antebellum United States: The Problem of Definition
Slavery, Capitalism, and the Interpretations of the Antebellum United StatesThe Problem of Definition James L. Huston (bio) In the space of three years, from 2013 to 2016, a flurry of books crowded the reading lists of historians of pre-Civil War America, all of which emphasized the ties between Southern slavery, capitalism, and modern economic development: Walter Johnson, River of Dark Dreams, Edward Baptist, The Half Has Never Been Told, Sven B…
Apostle of Union: A Political Biography of Edward Everett
Edward Everett has often been remembered as either a political doughface or the forgettable primary speaker at the 1863 Gettysburg commemoration. Matthew Mason decisively restores the political significance of Everett by stressing three vital themes: the quest for moderation on the slavery issue; the construction of a national memory that would sanctify a war for the Union; and the importance of oratory in the early republic. Political historians…
The Triumph of the Antebellum Free Trade Movement
One of the unloved issues of the antebellum era is the tariff; scholars usually leave its treatment to general works, biographies, and political-party histories. William S. Belko provides a nice exception to this rule, offering a glimpse of the tariff issue but almost exclusively from the free trade perspective. His work investigates the economic theory behind free trade advocacy and explores its positions almost entirely in terms of rhetoric and…
The Fragile Fabric of Union: Cotton, Federal Politics, and the Global Origins of the Civil War.
This excellent book begins by emphasizing the usefulness of studying past societies by investigating their leaders' views on political economy.This research method leads not to the determinism of pure economics nor to a purely legalistic or idealistic view of politics, but to the unraveling of a society's material interests, how those interests then shaped expectations of future activity, and how they entered into political calculations about how…

No Taint of Compromise: Crusaders in Antislavery Politics
Most studies of abolitionists examine extremists who rejected political engagement and who instead advocated a hyper-morality within an individualist context. Frederick J. Blue has instead turned to those abolitionists and antislavery individuals who opted for a political solution; Blue's purposes are to understand their motivations, their political philosophies, and their public appeal. He investigates eleven individuals who were associated with…

When in the Course of Human Events: Arguing the Case for Southern Secession
Using primary documents from both foreign and domestic observers, prominent scholar Charles Adams makes a powerful and convincing case that the Southern states were legitimately exercising their political rights as expressed in the Declaration of Independence when they seceded from the United States. Although conventional histories have taught generations of Americans that this was a war fought for lofty moral principles, Adams' eloquent history …

Political party support in the Korean fifth republic: An ecological analysis 1981–1985
The absence of surveys detailing the voting intentions and past voting behaviour of Koreans has left obscure important aspects of party development during the Fifth Republic. Ecological analysis of district level voting returns for the 1981 and 1985 National Assembly elections is used to find two distinct patterns of voter continuity. In 1985 the ruling Democratic Justice Party was able to hold its 1981 voters while attracting considerable suppor…
