  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: CITY of GRACE: POWER
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: CITY OF GRACE: POWER, PERFORMANCE, AND BODIES IN COLONIAL SOUTH CAROLINA Matthew Thomas Shifflett, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Dissertation directed by: Professor Heather S. Nathans School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies Colonial Charles Town, South Carolina, was widely reputed to be one of the most refined and genteel cities in the early British Empire. As its planters and merchants grew rich from the overseas rice trade, they sought to embody their new elite status by learning the courtly styles of European social dancing, using dances such as the minuet to cultivate a sense of physical “grace.” This sense of grace allowed them to construct cosmopolitan identities and differentiate a social order that consolidated their power over the colony. Meanwhile, other social factions, such as the colony’s large slave majority and the emerging class of middling tradesmen, sought their own share in controlling the vocabulary through which bodies might mean. “City of Grace: Power, Performance, and Bodies in Colonial South Carolina” puts colonial Charles Town’s “bodies” into conversation in order to highlight how bodily behaviors such as dancing, posture, and comportment could organize power relations in an eighteenth-century British colony. This dissertation considers in turn the part that four groups played in the conflict over the values assigned to Charles Town’s bodies: the wealthy elites who sought to use “grace” as a means to proclaim and ensure their status, the dancing masters who sought to capitalize on the elites’ need for training, the African slaves whose syncretized performances of their own ethnically-specific dances troubled elite ideals of a graceful “white” body, and the emerging cohort of middling tradespeople and evangelical believers who critiqued the pretensions of elite manners.

  • Directory of U.S. Political Parties the Two Major
    DIRECTORY OF U.S. POLITICAL PARTIES THE TWO MAJOR PARTIES: DEMOCRATIC PARTY (DNC) - The Democrats regained control of the US House and US Senate in the 2006 elections, and of the White House in the 2008 elections (plus widened their congressional advantage). An inability to cure the inherited stagnant national economy and voter discontent over health care and other successfully adopted Obama agenda items caused a significant erosion of support, costing the Democrats control of the House and several governorships in 2010. While prominent Democrats run the wide gamut from the near Euro-style democratic-socialist left (Barbara Lee, Raúl Grijalva and the Congressional Progressive Caucus) and traditional liberals (Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Wasserman Schultz) to the Dem center-right (Harry Reid, and the NDN) to the GOP-style conservative right (Blue Dog Coalition) to the pragmatic "centrist" moderate- to-liberal style (Mark Warner, Rahm Emanuel). The Democrats swept into office in '06 and '08 include a combination of some vocal progressives on the left, some centrists, and a some conservatives on the party's right. Much of the party's congressional losses in 2010 came at the expense of Blue Dog and centrist Democrats in swing districts. In 2012, President Obama was reelected and the Democrats held control of the US Senate and narrowed the GOP majority in the US House. Other official, affiliated national Democratic sites include: Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer.

  • The Whig Party and Its Presidents the Short-Lived Whig Party Had an Outsized Impact on U.S
    The Whig Party and its Presidents The short-lived Whig Party had an outsized impact on U.S. politics by Robert Longley Updated April 24, 2018 The Whig Party was an early American political party organized in the 1830s to oppose the principles and policies of President Andrew Jackson and his Democratic Party. Along with the Democratic Party, the Whig Party played a key role in the Second Party System that prevailed until the middle 1860s. Drawing from the traditions of the Federalist Party, the Whigs stood for the supremacy of the legislative branch over the executive branch, a modern banking system, and economic protectionism through trade restrictions and tariffs. The Whigs were strongly opposed to Jackson’s “Trail of Tears” American Indian removal plan forcing the relocation of southern Indian tribes to federally-owned lands west of the Mississippi River. Among voters, the Whig Party drew support from entrepreneurs, plantation owners, and the urban middle class, while enjoying little support among farmers and unskilled workers. Prominent founders of the Whig Party included politician Henry Clay, future 9th president William H. Harrison, politician Daniel Webster, and newspaper mogul Horace Greeley. Though he would later be elected president as a Republican, Abraham Lincoln was an early Whig organizer in frontier Illinois. What Did the Whigs Want?’ Party founders chose the name “Whig” to reflect the beliefs of the American Whigs—the group of colonial period patriots who rallied the people to fight for independence from England in 1776. Associating their name with the anti-monarchist group of English Whigs allowed Whig Party supporters to derisively depict President Andrew Jackson as “King Andrew.” As it was originally organized, the Whig Party supported a balance of powers between state and national government, compromise in legislative disputes, the protection of American manufacturing from foreign competition, and the development of a federal transportation system.

  • The Paradoxes of Political Parties in American Constitutional Development
    Prepared by Richard J. Hardy for the German-American Conference Sponsored by the Center for Civic Education Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana—March 5, 2011 The Paradoxes of Political Parties in American Constitutional Development Richard J. (Rick) Hardy Professor of Political Science Western Illinois University “No America without democracy, no democracy without politics, no politics without parties, no parties without compromise and moderation.” –Clinton Rossiter1 It is impossible to comprehend the workings of the United States constitutional system without a firm grasp of American political parties. A political party is a group of people with shared interests or principles that are organized to nominate candidates for public office in order to win elections, control government and set public policy.2 Yet, American political parties often defy simple explanations. They are complex, multi-faceted organizations with varying functions and ever- changing personnel, perspectives and positions on public policies. And attempts to analyze political parties are reminiscent of John Godfrey Saxe’s 19th century parable of the “Blind Men of Hindustan” feeling an elephant.3 One blind man felt the behemoth’s side and called it a wall, another touched its trunk and declared it a snake, while another felt a tusk and proclaimed it a spear. Like the proverbial blind men of Hindustan, close scholars of the American constitutional system often “see” political parties from different vantages. Political parties have been analyzed in terms of elections, governmental organizations, and positions on issues. Many scholars concentrate on the respective parties’ leaders, while others study their identifiers or voters at the grassroots level. Some contend that parties have become too powerful, while others believe parties need to be strengthened and more responsible.4 American citizens, too, maintain conflicting views of political parties.
