Abstract (sommario):

On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin (1809–1882) was published in 1859 in England and in 1860 in the United States. Its relatively positive initial reception in the United States was facilitated by a number of factors including the prominence of geology among the sciences, the high standing of Darwin with James Dwight Dana (1813–1895), and common knowledge about geology among many non-geologists. As indicated by the example of Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865), knowledge of a long duration for the Earth and of the fact of species extinction was taken for granted. At the level of elite science, knowledge of geological concepts was also widespread, as indicated by the example of Joseph Henry (1797–1878), first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. Instructed in geology not only by Amos Eaton (1776–1842) but also by the lectures of Charles Lyell (1797–1875), Henry proved a well-placed advocate for giving Darwin's book a fair hearing. In doing so Henry allied himself with the Harvard botanist Asa Gray (1810–1888). The fact that Darwin's Origin was published at a time of high political tension in the United States added to the drama: the opponent of evolution Louis Agassiz (1807–1873) engaged Gray, the proponent of evolution, on numerous grounds both intellectual and institutional. Further, vocabulary during the period moved back and forth across scientific and political contexts, as suggested by varied applications of the word “extinction.”

Abstract (sommario):

The American Romantic writers laid a broad foundation for the historic and heroic Abraham Lincoln who has evolved as our national myth. The writers were attracted to Lincoln by his eloquent expression of the body of ideals and beliefs they shared with him, especially the ideal of individual liberty and the belief that achievement of the ideal would bring about an amelioration of the human condition. The time, place and conditions in which they lived enhanced the attraction, and Lincoln's able leadership during the Civil War strengthened their estimation of him. His martyrdom was the catalyst which enabled the Romantic writers to lay the foundation of the Lincoln myth which has made his name synonymous with individual freedom everywhere even today.

Abstract (sommario):

Recent histories of the colonial American soundscape have offered readers the popular story of a sonic frontier between Europeans and indigenous inhabitants, in which the latter is silenced by the former’s “sensory imperialism.” This thesis begins by deconstructing this popular, mythological American soundscape and proceeds to apply Richard White’s influential Middle Ground theory to the Eastern Woodlands soundscape as a case study. Rather than a simplified story of one sonic community drowning out another, the author argues that soundscapes weaken at their peripheries and begin to mix with soundscapes traditionally considered to be their antithesis. The result is a “middle sound” or polyphonic soundscape, to which multiple sonic communities contribute equally, independently and simultaneously. National myths, the author demonstrates, are the only place monophonic soundscapes exist; for when multiple sonic communities fuse and create a middle sound, in time, the fusion becomes so seamless that the members of the hybrid community cease to think of themselves as bicultural individuals. This shift in their conception of reality makes them deaf to the plurality of sounds that had seemed so awkward, even horrifyingly dissonant, when they were first fused. Ultimately, then, despite the tendency for people to differentiate themselves from one another, close contact finally impels them to emphasise their similarities and unify as an imagined community. The sonic history of the Eastern Woodlands of North America is a story in which sound was central to both the prevention and creation of a sense of community between two previously distinct worlds.

Abstract (sommario):

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
Although the main emphasis of this study is Lane and his part in the Republican Party, another important part to this thesis is the examination of Indiana and national politics in the 1850s. This thesis studies the development of the Hoosier Republican Party and the obstacles the young organization experienced as it transformed into a major political party. Party leaders generally focused on states like New York and Pennsylvania in national elections but Indiana became increasingly significant leading up to the 1860 election. Though Hoosier names like George Julian and Schuyler Colfax might be more recognizable nationally for their role in the Republican Party, this thesis argues that Lane played a guiding role in the development of the new third party in Indiana. Through the study of primary sources, it is clear that Hoosiers turned to Lane to lead the organization of the Republican Party and to lead it to its success in elections. Historians have long acknowledged Lane’s involvement in the 1860 Republican National Convention but fail to fully realize his significance in Indiana throughout the 1850s. This thesis argues that Lane was a vital leader in Hoosier politics and helped transform the Republican Party in Indiana from a grassroots movement into a powerful political party by 1860.
