Abstract

In the fall of 1880, Rutherford B. Hayes became the first sitting U.S. president to tour the U.S. West. While rarely recognized as such in scholarship, Hayes was a culture warrior. His seventy-one-day, 2,500-mile tour of the West traced the spiritual battle lines of the politics of empire in the Gilded Age. On his journey the president explicitly and implicitly championed his answers to the Indian Question, School Question, Mormon Question, and Chinese Question. These Western policy positions established a Republican culture war program with deeply religious overtones that animated U.S. politics for over a decade and continues to resonate today. This article is part of a special issue of Pacific Historical Review, “Religion in the Nineteenth-Century American West.”
镀金时代帝国的宗教政治
1880年秋天,卢瑟福·海斯(Rutherford B. Hayes)成为第一位访问美国西部的在任美国总统。虽然在学术界很少被认可,但海耶斯是一位文化斗士。他长达71天、2500英里的西部之旅追溯了镀金时代帝国政治的精神战线。在他的旅程中,总统明确或含蓄地支持他对印度问题、学校问题、摩门教问题和中国问题的回答。这些西方的政策立场建立了共和党的文化战争计划,带有深刻的宗教色彩,在十多年里活跃了美国政治,并在今天继续产生共鸣。本文是《太平洋历史评论》特刊“19世纪美国西部的宗教”的一部分。
