CHAPTER 11
Panic and Boom
1837 – 1845
“Is a democracy, such as we know it, the last improvement possible in a government? Is it not possible to take a step further towards recognizing and organizing the rights of man? There will never be a free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly.” Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau
“If Christ should appear on earth he would on all hands be denounced as a mistaken, misguided man, insane and crazed.”
“I believe the mind can be permanently profaned by the habit of attending to trivial things.”
“Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison.”
“Not only must we be good, but we must also be good for something.”

“You cannot outlaw one part of the people without endangering the rights and liberties of all people. You cannot put a chain on the ankle of the bondsman without finding the other end of it about your own necks.” Frederick Douglass
“This young boy [Nat Turner], by the time he was eight or nine years old, had memorized the entire Bible.” Stephen B. Oates
“The mistress of a plantation was the most complete slave on it.” Susan Dabney Smedes
“But southern court records, newspapers, plantation diaries, and slave memoirs reveal that sadistic slave punishments were frequent and harsh.” Faragher text

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“If you put a chain around the neck of a slave, the other end fastens itself around your own.”
“We are always getting ready to live but never living.”
“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul
has simply nothing to do. . . . To be great is to be misunderstood.”
“The power of Love, as the basis of a State, has never been tried. . .”
“There will always be a government of force where men are selfish.”
“As soon as beauty is sought not from religion and love, but for pleasure, it degrades the seeker.”

white Southerners regarding slavery. Outline the perils and the potential of continuing westward expansion. Explain how the presidential election of 1840 illustrated the transformation

3 Interpretations of the “Peculiar Institution”
1. Slavery as a relatively humane and reasonable institution helping childlike slaves
2. Slavery as a harsh and cruel system of oppressive exploitation
3. Viewed from the perspective of the slaves: brutal treatment but survived with sense of self-esteem, community and culture
The first two interpretations emphasized work day interactions, the 2nd focused on life in the slave quarters from sunup to sundown
