PARRISH* In the tempestuous decade of the 1850's, David Rice Atchison of Missouri stands out as one of the most controversial figures on the American scene. Although this native-born Kentuckian ably served the State of Missouri as soldier, legislator, and judge and represented its interests in the Senate of the United States from 1843 to 1855, people remember him today primarily as the "President for one day" or as the leader of the * 'border ruffians" during the Kansas civil war. Yet from the beginning of his senatorial career, Atchison vigor­ ously promoted westward expansion. His efforts to encourage the settlement of Oregon during the 1840's won him early recognition by his colleagues who evidenced their appreciation of his leadership by electing him president pro-tempore of the Senate in 1846, less than three years after he had become a member of that body. The Senate consistently re-elected Atchison to this position by unanimous vote until 1850 when he stepped down for a brief period only to be returned to the post in 1852, again by unanimous ballot, for another two years. During the 1850's, Atchison became one of the leading propo­ nents of the states' rights doctrine of John C.

  • December 1969
    • The phrase, "From the River to Rome," defines the geographical range apparent in the contents of this issue of the magazine. Initial focus is on St. Charles as the home of The Lindenwood Colleges, the historic city which celebrated this year the 2QOth anni­ versary of its founding. A photograph on the inside back cover, showing a January-term class studying art and my­ thology in Rome, dramatizes Lindenwood's reach from St. Charles to the campus of the world. Yet in addition to the geographical, the magazine empha­ sizes another dimension of Lindenwood: that of time. The front cover, combining a modernistic outdoor light at the New Fine Arts Building with a page from the 1828 diary of Lindenwood's co­ founder, George C. Sibley, symbolizes the historic past complement­ ing the dynamic present. How Lindenwood has built on tradition to spearhead programs in private education in the Sixties is evident from pages 2 through 48. Certain articles illmninating the old and the new, the near and the far should be of special interest. "The Possible Dream," beginning on page 7, is the most recent investigation of Lindenwood's history; "The Ghosts of Lin­ denwood" sheds light on some of the renowned dead in the campus cemetery. Companion stories, which almost shatter the generation gap, reveal the Now Generation's reaction to a 72-year-old student in the dormitory, while the lady in question proves that a senior citizen, like any other minority, can .Bnd happiness on this open campus. Then there is a photo essay capturing the exuberance that attended the opening of the New Fine Arts building.

  • 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.
