Bringing the Law and the Local Back In to the Revolution
The study of legal change at local levels in this forum opens new windows onto the legal landscape, especially because they explore ground-level legal change that reveals far more innovative and incremental shifts in law and legal understanding than is visible at higher altitudes
Jan Shipps
This memorial essay blends professional and personal recollections, in part because its subject was adept at doing so herself. Reflecting on this dear friend, I have cobbled together a reminiscence that brings me comfort, even as I miss Jan's laugh, her addiction to checking all word choices in her thesaurus, her strong morning coffee, and her love of telling stories. What follows does not live up to her standards but is written in the sure knowl…
A “Free” State
In 1856, fourteen people held as slaves—two adult women, their eleven children, and one grandchild—appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom. They were the subjects of a writ of habeas corpus, the most powerful legal tool available to abolitionists. Theirs was the largest freedom suit California history. The controversy surrounding the case affected the judge and the small free Black population of Los Angeles. Latter-day Saints, proslavery southern mig…
Staying in Place
Late in the Civil War, northern missionaries from African Methodist denominations flooded into Kentucky and across the upper South, where they sought new members, especially among Black Methodist congregations. But they encountered resistance from an unexpected foe—the law of church property. White Southern Methodists had prided themselves on their "Mission to the Negroes," and white churchmen used litigation to ensure that Black churches remaine…
Rational Debate About Religion? That's Yuge
Nelson Tebbe has considerable experience in thinking long and hard about legal disputes that pit religious interests against civil law. He was a litigator for the ACLU, has a PhD in anthropology and sociology of religion from the University of Chicago Divinity School, and is now a law professor writing primarily in the area of church and state. His book is deeply interdisciplinary, but it combines law and political philosophy rather than anthropo…
Fatal Convergence in the Kingdom of God
This article examines religion, violence, and westward migration in early national and antebellum America. In treating the Mountain Meadows Massacre of 1857, the authors demonstrate how recognition of religion enriches understanding of the event and its roots in culture and geography. Close attention to and careful interpretation of the lives of the leaders of Methodist migrants (who were killed at Mountain Meadows) and the local Mormon militia (…
The African Supplement
In unexpected ways, corporate law in the early Republic provided African Americans with rights to religious integrity that they were denied in other venues. As black congregants developed legal expertise, they built powerful and long-lasting religious institutions. Yet these rights were fragile, as the legal rules governing such institutions also sustained dissent and fracture. Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church was incorporated in Philade…

Blasphemy and the Law of Religious Liberty in Nineteenth-Century America
IN 1811, CHIEF JUDGE JAMES KENT OF THE COURT OF APPEALS OF NEW YORK upheld the conviction of John Ruggles for blasphemy. Ruggles's crime was shouting "Jesus Christ was a bastard, and his mother must be a whore." He was convicted after a jury concluded that "these words were uttered in a wanton manner, and, as they evidently import, with a wicked and malicious disposition, and not in a serious discussion upon any controverted point in religion." R…
