Book Description
Excerpt from The South as a Conscious Minority, 1789-1861: A Study in Political Thought At the same time, this united people was a minority people, ever subjected in all branches of the national gov ernment to the potential control of those who lived north of the Mason and Dixon line. In every decade Of the Union, the sectional distribution of population and of states consigned to the South a minority role in the central govern ment. But here again, it was primarily the consciousness of a minority position, together with the presumed results at tendant upon that position, that crystallized Southern opin ion and led to the development of a minority philosophy. For it was assumed and, indeed, Often supported by facts which appear to be conclusive that the South as the imi nority section was bearing an excessive portion of the bur dens of the national government, while the North as the majority was receiving an equally disproportionate share of the benefits. In seeking protection against this sectional discrimination, the South evolved a political philosophy of effective minority control in government.

Virginia and State Rights, 1750-1861
Author: Charles Pinnegar
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786453885
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
While most historical studies merely scratch the surface of antebellum state rights and treat the doctrine as just one of many differences between the North and South, this book focuses exclusively on state rights from colonial to Civil War times. It looks particularly at Virginia, examining how the concept of state rights became the backbone of the Old Dominion's understanding of the Union for at least seven decades. Part One looks at Virginia's ideological attitudes toward state rights, revealing how and why state rights Antifederalists recoiled from the expansive tendencies of central government power during the Constitutional debate and the Virginia ratification convention. Part Two examines the methodologies employed to maintain the currency of state rights in the face of nationalist threats to a southern interpretation of liberty by examining documents and essays by luminaries such as James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Spencer Roane, Abel Upshur, and Littleton Tazewell.

The Confederate Republic
Author: George C. Rable
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807863963
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 625
Book Description
Although much has been written about the ways in which Confederate politics affected the course of the Civil War, George Rable is the first historian to investigate Confederate political culture in its own right. Focusing on the assumptions, values, and beliefs that formed the foundation of Confederate political ideology, Rable reveals how southerners attempted to purify the political process and avoid what they saw as the evils of parties and partisanship. According to Rable, secession marked the beginning of a revolution against politics, in which the Confederacy's founding fathers saw themselves as the true heirs of the American Revolution. Nevertheless, factionalism developed as the war dragged on, with Confederate nationalists emphasizing political unity and support for President Jefferson Davis's administration and libertarian dissenters warning of the dangers of a centralized Confederate government. Both sides claimed to be the legitimate defenders of a genuine southern republicanism and of Confederate nationalism, and the conflict between them carried over from the strictly political sphere to matters of military strategy, civil religion, and education. Rable concludes that despite the war's outcome, the Confederacy's antipolitical legacy had a profound impact on southern politics.
