Gilpatrick, Delbert Harold

Abstract:

From 1790-1815, Federalists and Jeffersonian Republicans were struggling for supremacy in national and state politics. North Carolina's majority population of individualistic farmers claimed to be firmly Republican, a fact which period elections reflected until the election of 1789 when the war with the French changed voting dynamics and the Federalists won congressional seats. This article looks at the elections held every year between 1803 and 1810 to examine how the Republicans regained the political ground lost in the 1789 election.

Hay, Thomas Robson

Abstract:

This article examines the changes to American politics and in American society marked by John C. Calhoun's Presidential campaign. As the first of the post American Revolution candidates, he represented a new generation of leaders whose primary concern was no longer relations with England, but westward expansion. A central focus of the article is the development of sectionalism and the crystalizing of political thought on slavery and on the basic domestic economy of the East, South, and West.

Bean, G.W.

Abstract:

This article looks at the shift of social and moral imperatives in the South in the early 18th century that changed the attitudes towards slavery from condemnation to justification and acceptance. The political impact of this change is seen in the geographic shift of the popularity of Jeffersonian politics, which were generally unfavorable to slavery, from the South to the anti-slavery North. The article further contends that Southern Jeffersonianism was replaced with a new set of pro-slavery ideals and values first promoted by John C. Calhoun and that came to be known as Calhounism.
