Riforgiato In the nineteenth century the archbishopric of Baltimore held a special position within the American church. As the first diocese and metropolitan see, its archbishop was accorded a position of honor among the hierarchy, despite the fact that by mid century other cities had eclipsed it as centers of American Catholicism. The death of Samuel Eccleston, fifth archbishop of Baltimore on 22 April 1851 set in motion a struggle for the succession to the premier see that reveals much about the divisions among the hierarchy in antebellum America. Archbishop Eccleston's death was not unexpected. He suffered a nervous disorder of sorts in 1843 which caused "hallucinations of persecution." Two years later he was thrown from his carriage and suffered severe head injuries."2 At best Eccieston was never a strong leader.
