Volume 5, Number 1 2 I Supreme Decision: Roger Taney and the Dred Scott Case By Mike Nicholas ‘07 Of all the events that pushed a divided nation closer and closer to war, none seemed to have the power to ignite the passions of sectionalists more than the Dred Scott Decision. What began as an obscure, relatively innocuous civil action in a Missouri district court evolved into a national battle cry for abolitionists in the North, a vindication of the peculiar institution for the South, and a catalyst that would ultimately bring the two sides to settle their dispute on the battlefield. At the center of this controversial decision was its principal architect and author, Chief Justice Roger B. Taney. Criticism of this Marylander came from those who at one time held him in the highest esteem and regarded him for his legal prowess, but who now despised him for what they considered to be his abdication of legal principle in favor of a personal bias for slavery, a corrupt bargain with the incoming president, and the final straw in a Southern conspiracy to expand slavery.

  • The Causes of the Civil War
    THE CAUSES OF THE CIVIL WAR: A NEWSPAPER ANALYSIS by DIANNE M. BRAGG WM. DAVID SLOAN, COMMITTEE CHAIR GEORGE RABLE MEG LAMME KARLA K. GOWER CHRIS ROBERTS A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the College of Communication and Information Sciences in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2013 Copyright Dianne Marie Bragg 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This dissertation examines antebellum newspaper content in an attempt to add to the historical understanding of the causes of the Civil War. Numerous historians have studied the Civil War and its causes, but this study will use only newspapers to examine what they can show about the causes that eventually led the country to war. Newspapers have long chronicled events in American history, and they offer valuable information about the issues and concerns of their communities. This study begins with an overview of the newspaper coverage of the tariff and territorial issues that began to divide the country in the early decades of the 1800s. The study then moves from the Wilmot Proviso in 1846 to Lincoln’s election in 1860, a period in which sectionalism and disunion increasingly appeared on newspaper pages and the lines of disagreement between the North and the South hardened. The primary sources used in this study were a diverse sampling of articles from newspapers around the country and includes representation from both southern and northern newspapers. Studying these antebellum newspapers offers insight into the political, social, and economic concerns of the day, which can give an indication of how the sectional differences in these areas became so divisive.

  • Per House by Name As Well As by Accomplishment. Such, However, Is 1840 to 1851, His Length of Service Being Unsurpassed by A
    DANIEL STURGEON, A STUDY IN OBSCURITY GEORGE ROADMAN1 nrfjxB Constitution of the United States has provided for only two JL senators from each state, a factor which ought to attract more than the average amount of public attention for those who have made the grade. A state as large and politically important as Pennsylvania should be able, by virtue of this fact alone, to list its representatives in the up- per house by name as well as by accomplishment. Such, however, is not the case, for in the long listof senators who served inthe nineteenth century, few attained any degree of national prominence and then only as a President, political boss, or member of a Presidential cabinet. The reasons for the well-known and lamentable obscurity of Penn- sylvania senators are many and varied, and are quite often explainable only as a result of rather complete studies of the lives of those involved. One of these unknowns, Daniel Sturgeon of Uniontown, is worth con- sidering because he combined the factors of long service in state and national public life with an almost total obscurity as far as the pages of history are concerned. 2 From 1818 to 1858, Sturgeon pursued a politi- cal career that began with his election to the state house of representa- tives, took him to the state senate in 1826, made him speaker of the senate in 1828, saw him appointed auditor general under Governor George Wolf in 1830, elected him state treasurer in 1836, and finally carried him into the United States Senate where he remained from 1840 to 1851, his length of service being unsurpassed by a Pennsylva- nian until Don Cameron's twenty years of service from 1877 to 1897.

  • James Buchanan As Savior? Judicial Power, Political Fragmentation, and the Failed 1831 Repeal of Section 25
    MARK A. GRABER* James Buchanan as Savior? Judicial Power, Political Fragmentation, and the Failed 1831 Repeal of Section 25 A ntebellum Americans anticipated contemporary political science when they complained about the tendency of embattled political elites to take refuge in the judiciary. Recent scholarship on comparative judicial politics suggests that judicial review is a means by which constitutional framers provided protection for certain class interests that may no longer be fully protected in legislative settings. Tom Ginsburg claims, "[I]f they foresee themselves losing in postconstitutional elections," the politicians responsible for the constitution "may seek to entrench judicial review as a form of political insurance." 1 Such a constitutional design ensures "[e]ven if they lose the election, they will be able to have some access to a forum in which to challenge the legislature."2 In 1801, Thomas Jefferson foreshadowed this strategy. He asserted that the defeated Federalist Party had "retired into the judiciary as a stronghold ...and from that battery all the works of republicanism are to be beaten down and erased.",3 More than a half century later, Chief Justice David S. *Professor of Law and Government, University of Maryland School of Law.

    SCHOOL SEGREGATION IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY PENNSYLVANIA BY EDWARD J. PRICE, JR. 7HE Pennsylvania Abolition Act of 1780 provided for the gradual Xabolition of slavery as well as the elimination of discriminatory laws, but it did not provide the black citizens of the commonwealth with equality. The general acceptance by whites of the concept of black inferiority and the fear of racial amalgamation or misce- genation led to segregation and discrimination in the social, political, and economic spheres of life. Blacks did not quietly accept these conditions. ' They labored to improve their status by es- tablishing various self-help organizations. Many considered educa- tional activities to. be the most important part of the self-help program since they saw education as a panacea for the problems facing the race. Blacks have traditionally viewed education as a means of im- proving their condition in society. Their great faith in education was manifested in various ways. Leading black men established schools, formed literary societies, and urged others to take advantage of these institutions. Even though groups of philanthropic whites such as the Quakers established schools for the basic education of blacks, groups such as the African Methodist Episcopal Church also founded schools. Members of the black intelligentsia joined together to form literary societies which provided libraries and a forum for the ex- change of ideas on topics of interest. During the ante-bellum period nine of these organizations were established in Philadelphia, and the black community in Pittsburgh supported two literary societies. Furthermore, state and national conventions of black men, which were held frequently prior to 1860, urged black people to improve The author received his Ph.D.

  • P Who Argue That American Politics in the Jacksonian Era Re- Flected Few Basic Social Or Economic Cleavages in the Electorate
    PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS IN THE JACKSONIAN PERIOD: A CASE STUDY, NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, 1824-1844 BY WILLLAm G. SHADE* P ENNSYLVANIA has stood as the classic example for those P who argue that American politics in the Jacksonian era re- flected few basic social or economic cleavages in the electorate. Henry Mueller's study of the Whig party presented a traditional economic interpretation of partisan activity associating the Whigs with commerce, manufacturing and wealth in general.' However, subsequent examination of working class voting and the general complexity of the state's politics tended to discredit this view.2 Today most students of the state's politics during this period probably agree with Richard McCormick: Like New York, Pennsylvania was a large and hetero- geneous state with a multiplicity of religious and na- tional groups and with definable geographic sections. Unlike New York, however, its politics rarely reflects religious, national or sectional cleavages.3 Yet evidence of the importance of religious and ethno-cultural factors on nineteenth century voting behavior has appeared which indicates that forces similar to those structuring New York politics were at work in Pennsylvania. 4 This article focuses on *The author is an Associate Professor of History at Lehigh University.

March into Oblivion: A Footnote Abstract In the above-titled work in 2006, this writer briefly discussed the possibility that President George Washington traversed present Adams County in October 1794, during his return from Bedford to Philadelphia, a belief long and widely held locally. No credible assertion of the President's presence here in 1794 was possible at that time. Recently however, a forgotten narrative was "rediscovered"; its author, Jacob Eyster, gives some substance to the previous mere speculation. After extensive research, this writer was graciously requested to produce a sequel to his prior speculative writing.

  • A Great Judicial Character, Roger Brooke Taney'
    YALE LAW JOURNAL. A GREAT JUDICIAL CHARACTER, ROGER BROOKE TANEY' The history of the Judiciary of a country ought to be as instructive as that of its sovereigns or its zoldiers, and yet it is slighted by the ordinary chronicler who finds the back stair gossip of the palace or the blare and jingle of the camp more engaging to his pen than the sober story of the high but sometimes frigid development of Justice and its administration. For us American Lawyers in one hundred and thirty-two years of national exis- tence, its course is illustrated and its needs and achievements personified in the seven men who have held and administered the great office of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, omitting those titular holders of the office who took no substantial part in its administration, like Rutlege who failed of confirmation on account of loss of reason which was deemed to incapacitate him. First in the honorable procession comes John Jay of New York, of Huguenot blood, who at thirty years of age was serving the revolutionists as a member of the committee of correspondence with the European friends of American Liberty, especially in the negotiations with France; later, resigning from the Continental Congress to serve in that of his province of New York. He was two years minister to Spain. With Franklin and Adams later he successfully negotiated peace -with Great Britain. Five years he was Secretary for Foreign Affairs and then was appointed by Washington the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States in 1789.
