The Democratic Party and the Transformation of American Conservatism, 1847-1860
PRESERVING THE WHITE MAN’S REPUBLIC: THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICAN CONSERVATISM, 1847-1860 Joshua A. Lynn A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Harry L. Watson William L. Barney Laura F. Edwards Joseph T. Glatthaar Michael Lienesch © 2015 Joshua A. Lynn ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joshua A. Lynn: Preserving the White Man’s Republic: The Democratic Party and the Transformation of American Conservatism, 1847-1860 (Under the direction of Harry L. Watson) In the late 1840s and 1850s, the American Democratic party redefined itself as “conservative.” Yet Democrats’ preexisting dedication to majoritarian democracy, liberal individualism, and white supremacy had not changed. Democrats believed that “fanatical” reformers, who opposed slavery and advanced the rights of African Americans and women, imperiled the white man’s republic they had crafted in the early 1800s. There were no more abstract notions of freedom to boundlessly unfold; there was only the existing liberty of white men to conserve. Democrats therefore recast democracy, previously a progressive means to expand rights, as a way for local majorities to police racial and gender boundaries. In the process, they reinvigorated American conservatism by placing it on a foundation of majoritarian democracy. Empowering white men to democratically govern all other Americans, Democrats contended, would preserve their prerogatives. With the policy of “popular sovereignty,” for instance, Democrats left slavery’s expansion to territorial settlers’ democratic decision-making. -

. Analogies in Physics Analysis of an Unplanned Epistemic Strategy Von der Philosophischen Fakultät der Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universität Hannover zur Erlangung des Grades Doktors der Philosophie Dr. phil. Genehmigte Dissertation von Ing. grad. MA Gunnar Kreisel Erscheinungs- bzw. Druckjahr 2021 Referent: Prof. Dr. Mathias Frisch Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Torsten Wilholt Tag der Promotion: 26.10.2020 2 To my early died sister Uta 3 Acknowledgements I could quote only very few by name who have contributed to my work on this thesis, for discussing some of the developed ideas with me or comments on parts of my manuscript. These are in the first place my advisor Mathias Frisch and further Torsten Wilholt, who read critically individual chapters. Much more have contributed by some remarks or ideas mentioned in passing which I cannot assign to someone explicitly and therefore must be left unnamed. Also, other people not named here have supported my work in the one or other way. I think they know who were meant if they read this. A lot of thanks are due to Zoe Vercelli from the International Writing centre at Leibniz University Hannover improving my English at nearly the whole manuscript (some parts are leaved to me because of organisational changes at the writing centre). So, where the English is less correct Zoe could not have had a look on it. Of course, all errors and imprecisions remain in solely my responsibility. 4 Abstract This thesis investigates what tools are appropriate for answering the question how it is possible to develop such a complex theory in physics as the standard model of particle physics with only an access via electromagnetic interaction of otherwise unobservable objects and their interactions it was investigated what the tools are to do this. -

First edition, probable first issue, extremely rare and inscribed by Ampère, of this continually evolving collection of important memoirs on electrodynamics by Ampère and others. “Ampère had originally intended the collection to contain all the articles published on his theory of electrodynamics since 1820, but as he pre- pared copy new articles on the subject continued to appear, so that the fascicles, which apparently began publication in 1821, were in a constant state of revision, with at least five versions of the collection appearing between 1821 and 1823 un- der different titles” (Norman). The collection begins with ‘Mémoires sur l’action mutuelle de deux courans électriques’, Ampère’s “first great memoir on electrody- namics” (DSB), representing his first response to the demonstration on 21 April 1820 by the Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851) that electric currents create magnetic fields; this had been reported by François Arago (1786- 1853) to an astonished Académie des Sciences on 4 September. -

AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONALISM VOLUME II: RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES Howard Gillman • Mark A. Graber • Keith E. Whittington Supplementary Material Chapter 5: The Jacksonian Era—Individual Rights/Religion Philip Phillips, On the Religious Proscription of Catholics (1835)1 Philip Phillips (1807–84) was a prominent southern lawyer, politician, and one-term member of the House of Representatives. Phillips was Jewish and a pro-Union Democrat. He worked closely with Stephen Douglas when in Congress. He later became an active litigator before the Supreme Court of the United States. Phillips wrote “On the Religious Proscription of Catholics” just after he completed his single term in the House of Representatives. His public letter responded to the 1855 national convention of the American Party, better known as the Know-Nothings.2 The Know-Nothings were organizing as a national political force. In many states, Know-Nothings displaced the Whigs as the primary opposition to the Democrats. The Phillips letter was part of the Democratic Party’s counterattack. The essay denied that Christianity was integral to American constitutionalism and accused the Know-Nothings of advocating a de facto religious test for political office. Alabama Democrats running on this inclusive platform were successful. They won a decisive victory over the Know-Nothings for state and federal offices. The American Party went into rapid decline after the 1856 elections in Alabama and across the country. Compare the excerpt below to the Samuel Morse’s Foreign Conspiracy against the Liberties of the United States. On what basis did Morse and Phillips disagree? Did Phillips challenge or ignore Morse’s depiction of Catholics? Why did Philips believe Catholics were entitled to equal political rights? Philips was a Democrat. -

Historians have explored various parts of this movement in a discrete fashion, but never has anyone attempted to examine the history of the effort to create a Union Party across the decade of the 1850s. What I find is that all incarnations of the Union Party stressed a common devotion to the rule of law, which they saw as under threat by sectional agitators who stirred up the passions of the public. Whether in debates over the right of the federal government to coerce a state, the legality of the Fugitive Slave Act, and presence of filibustering oversees, or the violence which attended partisan elections, Americans’ respect for the rule of law seemed at issue throughout that turbulent decade.
