What Happened to Nancy Jackson? A Riddle of Race and Resistance on the Southern Frontier
In 1788, Andrew Jackson acquired an enslaved woman named Nancy. According to most accounts, Nancy followed Jackson from Jonesborough, Tennessee to Nashville and lived out the rest of her days at the Hermitage. Except she did not. A close review of the legal record suggests that Nancy never made it to Nashville and either left Jackson somewhere along the Wilderness Road or died at his hands trying to escape. Her act of resistance, this article pos…

Burning House
A startling and gripping reexamination of the Jim Crow era, as seen through the eyes of some of the most important American writers In this dramatic reexamination of the Jim Crow South, Anders Walker demonstrates that racial segregation fostered not simply terror and violence, but also diversity, one of our most celebrated ideals. He investigates how prominent intellectuals like Robert Penn Warren, James Baldwin, Eudora Welty, Ralph Ellison, Flan…
New Takes on Jim Crow
More than half a century has passed since C. Vann Woodward penned his iconic monograph, The Strange Career of Jim Crow , and legal segregation continues to compel. Recent works have reassessed Jim Crow's birth, its life, and its aftermath, suggesting that the system was at once more implicated in the reproduction of racist ideas than had been previously assumed, and also more fluid: a variegated landscape of rules and norms that lent themselves t…

In The Taming of Free Speech: America’s Civil Liberties Compromise, Laura Weinrib provides a fascinating retelling of First Amendment history, challenging the conventional wisdom that World War I “awakened Americans to civil liberties issues,” arguing instead that it was an understudied convergence between “a state-skeptical brand of labor radicalism” and “a conservative legal tradition of individual rights” that recast free speech as a core Amer…
Jim Crow's Last Stand
In Jim Crow's Last Stand Thomas Aiello tells the story of Louisiana's jury rule, a provision that allows criminal convictions in cases where only nine out of twelve jurors vote to convict. While most states require a unanimous jury in criminal cases, Louisiana does not—an aberration that Aiello attributes to post–Civil War redeemer politics. Specifically, Aiello tells of the ex-Confederate entrepreneur Samuel Lawrence James, who leased Angola pla…
The Ghost of Jim Crow
In “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” Martin Luther King, Jr. asserted that “the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice.” To date, our understanding of the Civil Rights era has been largely defined by high-profile public events such as the crisis at Little Rock high school, bus boycotts, and sit-ins-i…
