    "THEATER AND EMPIRE: A HISTORY OF ASSUMPTIONS IN THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING ATLANTIC WORLD, 1700-1860" BY ©2008 Douglas S.

Harvey certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: "THEATER AND EMPIRE: A HISTORY OF ASSUMPTIONS IN THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING ATLANTIC WORLD, 1700-1860" Committee ____________________________________ Chairperson ___________________________________* ___________________________________* ___________________________________* ___________________________________* Date Approved: April 7, 2008 ii Abstract It was no coincidence that commercial theater, a market society, the British middle class, and the “first” British Empire arose more or less simultaneously. In the seventeenth century, the new market economic paradigm became increasingly dominant, replacing the old feudal economy. Theater functioned to “explain” this arrangement to the general populace and gradually it became part of what I call a “culture of empire” – a culture built up around the search for resources and markets that characterized imperial expansion. It also rationalized the depredations the Empire brought to those whose resources and labor were coveted by expansionists. This process intensified with the independence of the thirteen North American colonies, and theater began representing Native Americans and African American populations in ways that rationalized the dominant society’s behavior toward them. By utilizing an interdisciplinary approach, this research attempts to advance a more nuanced and realistic narrative of empire in the early modern and early republic periods.

His background was unusually cosmopolitan and intellectual. His father was Hugh Henry Brackenridge, A.B.and A.M.,Princeton Col- lege, sometime chaplain in the Revolutionary army, editor, lawyer, sati- rist,politician, the classmate of James Madison and Philip Freneau. The extent, variety, and quality of the father's knowledge is made clear by the lists of books that he assigned to his son to read. Pittsburgh was in good part settled by former Revolutionary officers, and the Federalists were strong in the town. On the other hand, Brackenridge, Sr., was a Jeffer- sonian inpolitics and a vigorous fighter for his ideas. Among his friends were Lucas, Audrain, Marie, and other Frenchmen of Pittsburgh, and Albert Gallatin, as well as many of the Scotch-Irish stock from which he himself had sprung.

It has been confined to insignificance, because it does not serve that saga well.” — Michael Zuckerman, ALMOST CHOSEN PEOPLE: OBLIQUE BIOGRAPHIES IN THE AMERICAN GRAIN, 1993, page 176 We have taken the American revolution which created our USA as an initial step in the establishment of a nation based upon the principles of freedom for all and of human dignity for all. There’s a little problem in this, however. The revolution which created the USA did not free very many of America’s slaves. Or, we say, it did not free them except potentially, after we had fought another war, a “Civil” one. –But, we ask, we were on our way weren’t we? The short answer to this is, no. Michael Zuckerman begins his paper “The Color of Counterrevolution: Thomas Jefferson and the Rebellion in San Domingo” (in Loretta Valtz Mannucci’s THE LANGUAGES OF REVOLUTION, Quaderno 2, Milan Group in Early United States History, no date) by offering that “Victorious rebels rarely maintain their revolutionary fervor after they secure their own ascendancy.” Actually, that is very much of an understatement.

In the third volume The Frontier Moves West he devoted one section to what he labeled "An Early View of the Missouri Country, 1810-11/' printing several of the most —vivid passages from Henry Marie's writings.

(Missouri State Archives) (State Historical Society of Missouri, Columbia) MAKING MISSOURI AMERICAN 13 Meriwether Lewis reached Missouri in 1808 ready to take charge. His goal was simple but hardly easy: to build a society on a frontier that seemed distant, detached, and disorganized from the rest of the United States. To realize this vision, Lewis planned nothing less than a trans- formation of the local economy, government, and military institutions. Lewis should have known better. People throughout North America had their own goals when it came to the place that became Missouri. And Lewis, he had spent the winter of 1803–1804 in St. Louis and in western Illinois, during which he observed the entrenched cultural traditions of western residents. From 1804–1806, he had led an expedition that he called the “Corps of Discovery” across the North American West, during which he met people who were themselves interested in Missouri, even from great distances. No sooner did Meriwether Lewis set to work in 1808 than he faced challenges that exceeded his abilities. The very solutions he proposed would actually be his undoing. His close friend and colleague, William Map of Missouri, 1821.

INDEX HENRY MARIE BRACKENRIDGE HENRY MARIE BRACKENRIDGE 1786 May 11, Thursday: Henry Marie Brackenridge was born, a son of Judge Hugh Henry Brackenridge of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He would be educated by his father and by private tutors, and then attend a French academy at St. Genevieve, Louisiana. In Rhode Island, Friend Ruth Smith Hopkins, alleging that as a Friend she had “sometime past” set free her Negro Man Servant, so that he would “be entitled to the Privileges of a Freeman which he is and has an undoubted Right to be,” at this point needed to visit the town clerk to register for this Toney Hopkins a written Inftrument of manumission to replace said previous such document, unrecorded, that he said he had lost. This obviously innocent document of record in obviously honest confirmation of the previous benevolent action would appear for all time on pages 35 and 36 of Volume 22 of such Providence records: gÉ tÄÄ cxÉÑÄx àÉ ã{ÉÅ g{xáx cÜxáxÇàá á{tÄÄ vÉÅx ‰ j{xÜxtá \ áÉÅxà|Åx Ñtáà áxà yÜxx t axzÜÉ `tÇ vtÄÄxw gÉÇxç [ÉÑ~|Çá {xÜxàÉyÉÜx t fxÜvtÇà [Servant??] àÉ `x à{x fâuyvÜ|uxÜ tÇw ztäx {|Å ———page break——— {|Å t ãÜ|ààxÇ \ÇyàÜâÅxÇà xä|wxÇv|Çz à{x ftÅx ã{|v{ ãÜ|à|Çz {x à{x yt|w axzÜÉ@ `tÇ átçá |á ÄÉáà tÇw ux|Çz w|y|ÜÉâá à{tà {x á{ÉâÄw ux xÇà|àÄxw àÉ à{x cÜxä|Äxzxá [Privileges??] Éy t YÜxxÅtÇ ã{|v{ {x |á tÇw {tá tÇ âÇwÉâuàxw e|z{à àÉ ux \ {täx z|äxÇ {|Å à{É [the??]
