  • The Slaveholding Republic

    Don E Fehrenbacher, Ward M McafeeBOOKThe Slaveholding Republic2002

    Many leading historians have argued that the Constitution of the United States was a proslavery document. But this book refutes this claim in a landmark history that stretches from the Continental Congress to the Presidency of Abraham Lincoln. The book shows that the Constitution itself was more or less neutral on the issue of slavery and that, in the antebellum period, the idea that the Constitution protected slavery was hotly debated (many Nort…

  • Slavery in the Federal Territories

    Don E Fehrenbacher, Ward M McafeeCHAPTERThe Slaveholding Republic2002

    Thomas Jefferson laid the foundation for the system of decimal coinage that was subsequently adopted by Congress. He coauthored a plan for the disposal of western lands featuring a grid system of survey that Congress soon incorporated in the Land Ordinance of 1785. Most notably, he drafted and secured passage of a plan of government for the West that became known as the Ordinance of 1784. In the process, moreover, he raised for virtually the firs…

  • The African Slave Trade, 1842 to 1862

    Don E Fehrenbacher, Ward M McafeeCHAPTERThe Slaveholding Republic2002

    There is no evidence of Abel P. Upshur giving anything beyond perfunctory attention to the problem of the slave trade. Only after months of delay did he appoint Matthew C. Perry to command the African squadron, and it was in August of 1843 when Perry arrived off Cape Mesurado, where he had cruised with the Shark twenty two years earlier. Upshur's instructions made it plain that the squadron's primary assignment was the protection of American comm…

  • The Fugitive Slave Problem, 1850 to 1864

    Don E Fehrenbacher, Ward M McafeeCHAPTERThe Slaveholding Republic2002

    The bill signed by President Millard Fillmore in 1850 was designated an amendment supplementary to the act of 1793. Essentially, it expanded federal power over the interstate rendition of fugitive slaves at the expense of state power to intervene in the process. Thus, anyone taken into custody as a fugitive slave was cut off from the traditional legal resorts of an accused person. As for extralegal action, the new law made it more hazardous by in…

  • The African Slave Trade, 1789 to 1842

    Don E Fehrenbacher, Ward M McafeeCHAPTERThe Slaveholding Republic2002

    In the spring of 1800, by a vote of 67 to 5, the House of Representatives approved a Senate bill strengthening federal restrictions on American participation in the foreign slave trade. The two principal modes of American involvement in the African slave trade—as a maritime carrier and as an import market—are sometimes inadequately differentiated. They were not only functionally distinctive and sectionally concentrated but often unconnected in pr…

  • Slavery in American Foreign Relations

    Don E Fehrenbacher, Ward M McafeeCHAPTERThe Slaveholding Republic2002

    Chattel slavery in a nation explicitly dedicated to human freedom was a heritage both paradoxical and dangerous for the new United States of 1776. The domestic consequences of that heritage became the central theme of 19th-century American history, as increasing sectional conflict led eventually to disunion, civil war, and the aftermath, called reconstruction. Less familiar are the effects of the heritage upon American foreign relations and upon …

  • The Slaveholding Republic

    K R Constantine Gutzman, Kevin R C Gutzman et al.REVIEWThe Journal of Southern History2002

    This volume analyzes how the government of the United States effectively became an agent of the interest, despite the fact that the nation had been founded upon ideals potentially hostile to the institution of slavery. The anomaly of a slaveholding republic began to unravel with the election of Abraham Lincoln, the first president not wholly obedient to that interest. Written by the late Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, Don Fehrenbacher, this bo…

  • Recollected Words of Abraham Lincoln

    Matthew Pinsker, Don E Fehrenbacher et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Southern History1998

    This is the first comprehensive collection of remarks attributed to Abraham Lincoln by his contemporaries. Much of what is known or believed about the man comes from such utterances, which have been an important part of Lincoln biography. About his mother, for instance, he never wrote anything beyond supplying a few routine facts, but he can be quoted as stating orally that she was the illegitimate daughter of a Virginia aristocrat. Similarly, th…

  • The New Political History and the Coming of the Civil War

    Don E FehrenbacherARTICLEPacific Historical Review1985Citada por: 1Referências: 5

    IN THE YEAR 1900, Edward Eggleston's presidential address to the American Historical Association was titled The New History. By that phrase he meant historical study of the common people and how they had lived, with much less emphasis, accordingly, on the politics, statecraft, diplomacy, and warfare that had long been the staples of schoolbook history and historical scholarship.' Eggleston did not invent the phrase, and the need for a

  • In Quest of the Psychohistorical Lincoln

    Don E Fehrenbacher, Charles B Strozier et al.ARTICLEReviews in American History1983

    The inner life of Lincoln has been explored intermittently over the years with indifferent success. Mark E. Neely, Jr., in The Abraham Lincoln Encyclopedia (1982), goes so far as to declare that all psychobiographies of the man to date have been unmitigated disasters. That judgment by a historian is no doubt too harsh for universal acceptance. One finds, for example, that L. Pierce Clark's pioneering effort, Lincoln: a Psycho-Biography, though di…
