| | Hartnett/Democratic Dissent & the Cultural Fictions of Antebellum America. Introduction |
 | | First, American democracy is most fascinating when studied through the voices of citizens engaged in critical dialogue with both the nation's founding myths and its most pressing political crises, especially when these voices slowly oscillate between dissent and assent. | | | The vast archive of materials regarding these questions necessitates my condensing what could be long excursions into internecine academic debates into lengthy narrative endnotes; I hope readers find them helpful. | | | And how did such cultural fictions facilitate, curtail, and otherwise complicate the practice of democratic dissent in antebellum America? |

| | Virtually all of the men who governed Texas from 1846 to 1861 were identified with the Democratic party. | | | Nevertheless, leadership by a minority class whose status depended on the ownership of slaves introduced an element of aristocracy and gave a pro-Southern cast to antebellum Texas politics. | | | Their control was democratic in that they were freely elected, and they governed without having to coerce nonslaveholders into supporting their policies. |

| | Antebellum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Antebellum Period in the Southern United States is viewed by some with a kind of sentimental nostalgia as an idealized agrarian and chivalric society. | | | Antebellum is a Latin word meaning "before the war" (ante means before and bellum war). | | | This nostalgic view is in part due to the cultural memory of the great prosperity of that time, and in part due to the widespread destruction of Southern infrastructure and society by the Union Army and by former Confederate Army soldiers who harbored resentment toward Union forces. |

| | SSRN-The Law of Descent of the Mind: Law, History, and Civilization in Antebellum Literary Addresses by Alfred Brophy |
| | This essay employs a close analysis of nearly forty addresses given at the University of Alabama from 1832 through 1860 to gauge the changes in thought in the antebellum South on political theory and jurisprudence. | | | Finally, the essay begins to sketch key pieces of jurisprudence (such as considerations of utility, the importance of history and culture, and morality), as it provides a model of how to mine the hundreds of addresses delivered to other literary societies, north and south, in the years before Civil War for insights into legal thought. | | | The addresses, thus, emerge as important windows into antebellum Southern thought and as vehicles for mapping in detail the intellectual world of moral and political philosophy inhabited by southerners, particularly judges and legislators in the years leading into Civil War. |
