Abstract:
Having researched and looked in some historical antebellum newspapers, I found an interesting story, which I think it represent a good example on antebellum literature that remained unknown since it once appeared in the newspaper two centuries ago. The story is entitled, "Scene on the Ohio: The Solitary Grave" by a writer named Rev. J. Todd. In fact, there are no resources that can tell us any information about the writer or the story. However, his story appeared in the Southern Recorder Newspaper, on Jan, 28, 1840, under The Milledgeville Historic Newspaper Archives, California Digital Newspaper Collections. In this essay, I focused on Todd’s story in terms of style, structure, themes, and content, and I link it with the features of the Antebellum literature through explaining its distinguishing characteristics, references to culture, Ideology, and some other psychological aspects that match the common features of the Antebellum literature.

Abstract:
Among the most long-lasting constitutional controversies in the antebellum era was the interpretation of the fugitive slave clause. It was the subject of repeated legislative and judicial construction at both the state and the federal level. It raised delicate questions about federalism and the balancing of property rights and personal liberty. Slaveholders and abolitionists brought irreconcilable constitutional positions to the table, ultimately dividing Northerners from Southerners. However, it was not just divergent political commitments that made it difficult to fix a stable meaning to the fugitive slave clause. The text itself was ambiguous enough to make it amenable to multiple interpretations. For precisely this reason, an examination of the changing interpretations of the fugitive slave clause uncovers antebellum constitutional praxis, allowing us to see how historical actors interpreted the Constitution and how those interpretations shifted over time.

Abstract:
This essay explores social and political values conveyed by nineteenth century world and universal history textbooks in relation to the antebellum era. These textbooks focused on the histories of ancient Greece and Rome rather than on histories of the United States. I argue that after 1830 these textbooks reinforced both the US land reform and the antislavery movement by creating favorable depictions of Tiberius and Caius Gracchus. Tiberius and Caius Gracchus (known as the “Gracchi”) were two Roman tribunes who sought to restore Rome's land laws, which granted public land to propertyless citizens despite opposition from other Roman aristocrats. The textbook authors' portrayal of the Gracchan reforms reflects a populist element in antebellum American education because these narratives suggest that there is a connection between social inequality and the decline of republicanism.

Abstract:
Abstract This article explores the lower Mississippi valley's antebellum history to uncover the role of Irish immigrant laborers in the riverine economy of the Cotton Kingdom. In particular, this article examines the experience of Irish laborers as canallers and ditchers on plantations and internal improvement projects, which drew thousands of Irish immigrants into the interior of the Mississippi valley in the decades before the American Civil War. Scholars will better understand the experience of these Irish laborers through the lens of “the second slavery,” which helps point the way to a broader comprehension of the employment of free labor in the antebellum South. This article demonstrates that Irish immigrants were a manifestation of the labor demands of the second slavery, and through their toil, they helped ensure that US cotton reached the global market.

Abstract:
Although considerable scholarly attention has been paid to US Orientalism in the nineteenth century, there remains no targeted study of the formative influence exercised by the Qur'an upon the canon of early American literature. The present paper surveys receptions, adaptations and translations of the Qur'an during the ‘American Renaissance’, identifying the Qur'anic echoes which permeate the seminal works of literary patriarchs such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Washington Irving and Edgar Allan Poe. Examining the literary and religious tensions raised by antebellum importations of Islamic scripture, the essay interrogates how the aesthetic contours of the Qur'an in particular serve both to attract and obstruct early US readings, mapping the diverse responses to the Muslim sacred generated by American Romantics and Transcendentalists.

Abstract:
Clark Davis, “Very, Garrison, Thoreau: Variations on the Antebellum Passive” (pp. 332–359) This essay contends that the poetry of Jones Very, often considered predominately “mystical,” was deeply engaged in political debates of the era. Not only did Very often write poems with an avowedly public purpose, but his seemingly otherworldly, spiritual sonnets sometimes participated in antebellum political debates. The sonnet “The Hand and Foot” (1839), for instance, describes a mode of Christian passivity and quietism that echoes the contemporaneous call for passive “non-resistance” to slavery found in William Lloyd Garrison’s 1838 “Declaration of Sentiments,” the foundational statement of the New England Non-Resistance Society. Very’s poem also describes a mode of Christian behavior that is radically disruptive of social conformity, a kind of embodied “prayer” that may have influenced Henry David Thoreau’s more famous manifesto of passive resistance, “Resistance to Civil Government” (1849). Thoreau witnessed Very’s passive but disruptive behavior on more than one occasion in Concord, Massachusetts, well before his own unique dramatization of nonconformity in the mid 1840s. Comparing Very’s erasure of individual will to Thoreau’s more canny deployment of passivity can help us clarify antebellum modes of passive engagement as they evolved toward the eventual violence of John Brown’s raid and the American Civil War.

Holliger, Andrea. "AMERICAN CULTURE OF SERVITUDE: THE PROBLEM OF DOMESTIC SERVICE IN ANTEBELLUM LITERATURE AND CULTURE." UKnowledge, 2017. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/english_etds/61.

Full text
Abstract:
My dissertation argues that domestic service alters a culture’s relationship to the laboring body. I theorize this relationship via popular literary and cultural antebellum texts to explore the effects of servitude as a trope. Methodologically, each chapter reads a literary text in context with social and legal paradigms to 1) demonstrate that servitude undergirds myriad articulations of antebellum power and difference; 2) show how servitude inflects the construction of these paradigms; and 3) trace Americans’ changing relationship to the concept of servitude from the Early Republic through the Civil War. I begin with James Fenimore Cooper’s The Pioneers (1823), exploring the famous Leather-stocking character – not (as has canonically been the case) as an icon of American independence, but as an icon of American servitude. I historicize this reading with the legal history of master/servant statutes in the early nineteenth century. While public opinion quarantined servitude to an oppressed racial minority, the apparatuses of the law were dramatically expanding servitude’s purview, rendering the master/servant relation the touchstone from which to understand all employment relations. Following, my second chapter examines Caroline Kirkland’s A New Home, Who’ll Follow? (1833). I show that Kirkland’s text dramatizes the narrativity of identity-formation and its potential class consequences. Throughout, Kirkland suggests that this is particularly a women’s problem, whose narratives of self are charged with maintaining the narratives of the family and, synecdochically, the nation. Maria Susanna Cummins’s The Lamplighter (1854) is a revolutionary intervention into the narratives of laborless-ness. I read the adoptions within the novel alongside the legalization of bounded servitude for children, since antebellum minors could be adopted or sign indentures if doing so was determined to be in their “best interest.” In my fourth and final chapter, I examine Civil War draft resistance. In her House and Home Papers columns for The Atlantic (1863-4), Harriet Beecher Stowe turned to the tropes of servitude to make sense of these violent eruptions. Yet this strategy laid bare servitude’s place as the basis for many other forms of state power (including military service) and servitude’s incompatibility with principles of individual sovereignty.

Birch, Kelly. "Slavery and the origins of Louisiana’s prison industry, 1803-1861." Thesis, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/2440/123239.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the role that chattel slavery played in shaping a system of for-profit incarcerations in Louisiana between 1803 and 1862. In doing so, it challenges the conventional historical narrative of American penal development, which identifies the origins of the prison industrial complex in the decades following the abolition of slavery in the United States. Scholars have already contended that the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865, which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude ‘except as a punishment for crime’, facilitated the constitutional reinstitution of enslavement in American corrections systems. This thesis reveals that this relationship between slavery and imprisonment extends back further. It argues that, in pre-Civil War Louisiana, chattel slavery and the prison were mutually reinforcing institutions, and each, being market-oriented, shaped the other. In its exploration of this relationship, this thesis contributes to the history of penal reform and imprisonment, and to the history of American slavery. It also joins the history of the state with that of early American capitalism. To tell this story, this thesis incorporates new interpretations of sources used in previous studies (for example, Supreme Court records, census returns, and runaway slave advertisements), with insights gleaned from new types of primary material, such as jailers’ log books, receipts, and financial accounting records. This thesis begins in the decades following the U.S. Purchase of 1803, as Louisiana transitioned from a European colony to an American state. During this time, penal reforms gradually led to the replacement of an array of public corporal punishments with a system of mass incarceration that would ultimately fuse Enlightenment-inspired ideals with the moneymaking imperatives of the market revolution. Opening in 1835, a new state penitentiary complex in Baton Rouge, together with an expansive network of rural parish prisons, police jails, and urban workhouses, was deployed by local law enforcement agencies and slaveholders for the control and discipline of enslaved men, women, and children. But even while the state’s penal system served both public justice and private slaveholder rule, incarcerations’ costs mounted. And in the aftermath of a transatlantic panic in 1837, as the Lower Mississippi Valley plunged into financial depression, a demand for institutional economy steered Louisiana’s prisons into the free market. Beset by market shifts and fluctuations in labour and commodity prices, jailers and state authorities saw an economic solution to incarcerations’ costs in the uniquely fungible condition of enslaved prisoners. They capitalised on this in grim ways. Keepers of crowded, filthy prisons collected fees for confining, punishing, and selling African American inmates. Many also pressed inmates into labour in prison factories and state-sponsored chain gangs. In the latter, enslaved prisoners built the infrastructure that supported Louisiana’s commercial expansion. But as the prison emerged as an important centre of economic production, it was also transformed into a site of struggle, as African American inmates resisted the double burden of enslavement and incarceration.

Abstract:
Returning to the origin of critical whiteness studies, antebellum African American literature, this chapter examines how tenets of Whiteness are performative and arbitrary in Frank J. Webb’s The Garies and their Friends. Assembling a cast of respectable free African American families and cunning and dishonest White men, Webb depicts Whiteness as a set of values not intrinsic to White bodies, and that the privileges Whiteness affords are not extended to Black Americans who embody those tenets. Influenced by the cross-racial oratory of his wife Mary E. Webb, Webb conveys the permeability of the colour line through episodes of White racial transformation and African American passing, and he shows White male anxieties that they could lose the privileges of Whiteness themselves. In the final section the chapter considers prescriptive Whiteness itself as deadly through deathbed speeches in The Garies and across early African American fiction.

Abstract:
In the decades before and after the First Opium War (1839-1842), the US missionary Reverend David Abeel laid out a sense of “South-Eastern Asian” for US readers of Journal of a Residence in China, and the Neighboring Countries, from 1829 to 1833 (1834). His phrase focuses multi-lingual print evangelicalism on an archipelago stretching across networks of opium traffic connecting India to China. His accounts also imply the layers of faiths and languages that shaped senses of geography before the existence of the United States and the convergence of mottled European imperialisms in the China trade. At the end of the war, Abeel moved to the coastal city of Amoy where he rationalized opium commerce as an evil outweighed by the potential benefits of opening treaty ports. The prominent administrator of Fujian and scholar Xú Jìyú (徐繼畬‎; 1795–1873) disagreed and adapted Abeel’s geographical tools to present a warning about the attempts to evangelize “South-East Asia.” His Yíng huàn zhì lüè (瀛擐志略‎; General Survey of the Maritime Circuit, a Universal Geography, 1849) portrays Catholic and Protestant commercial activity as a threat to indigenous jurisdiction the world over.

Abstract While surveillance theorists often focus on the technologies and pervasiveness of twenty-first-century surveillance, this book redirects our attention to the human costs of sousveillance. The book’s examination of sousveillance as a set of tactics to resist, escape, or merely survive racial subjugation restores a measure of agency to the surveilled, even as it also demonstrates that the watcher from below is profoundly vulnerable if sousveillance becomes visible. The protective function of invisibility for sousveillants is critical for analyzing contemporary visual documentation of state-sanctioned violence. The antebellum literary roots of racialized surveillance that Slavery, Surveillance, and Genre examines can teach us about what it means to be seen and why people make this choice despite the harm it brings.

Abstract:
Abstract The 1820s and 1830s were a transformational period during which US abolition activists demanded immediate emancipation and developed national institutions. This chapter argues that the turn in the 1820s from religious to legalistic antislavery discourse prompted ex-slave narrators and their editors in the 1820s and 1830s to test out different ways to frame their narratives. Slave narratives from these decades increasingly detailed the mechanisms of surveillance within the slave system, as well as the varied and creative ways enslaved people resisted this pervasive surveillance. Narratives from these decades positioned the ex-slave narrator as a spy before the familiar “slave as eyewitness” trope became conventional. When we read slave narratives through this surveillant lens, we can perceive their emphasis on crime and punishment, evidence, and revelation of secrets: the same concerns that would become central to detective fiction a decade later.
