Saba argues that cosmopolitan antislavery reformers promoted emancipation “ to boost capitalist development in both countries ” (2). These “ bourgeois modernizers ” saw slavery as “ the main impediment ” to modernity and capitalist development (3). Abolishing slavery would attract immigrant laborers, encourage innovation, and free up capital and labor in more rational ways. According to these reformers, slaveowners did not make good use of technology, did not innovate, wasted labor power, and maintained a colonial relationship with Great Britain. Saba contends that antislavery was not just about rights and freedom, but also about the making of capitalism: while rights would remain “ distant aspirations, ” “ antislavery reformers succeeded in expanding capitalist production and trade ” (7). Saba is not comparing and contrasting the United States and Brazil, but, instead, studying the shared process of capitalist development on a global scale (one of the book ’ s great strengths). Saba ’ s provocative thesis builds on as well as upends the new historiography detailing slavery ’ s centrality to capitalism ’ s expansion, arguing that even more important was how the abolition of slavery, and the new labor and property regimes that emancipation engendered, created an even more powerful industrial and agro-industrial capitalist system. Saba argues that the clear economic superiority of the U.S. North in comparison with the U.S. South proved to nineteenth-century observers that slavery was an economic anchor. Furthermore, slavery ’ s abolition in both countries didn ’ t result in economic disruption (which","PeriodicalId":43534,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era","volume":"21 1","pages":"342 - 344"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47607260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article argues that the racial cartographic work of the Yale geographer and prolific eugenicist Ellsworth Huntington was both developed within and contributed to this racist milieu. Huntington’s middle-class and educated upbringing, his familial history, and his expertise as a well-travelled geographer all conspired to shape his views on eugenics, race, and immigration. By applying the critical cartographic theories of John Brian Harley, Denis Wood, Heather Winlow, and others, I show that Huntington’s racial maps were a product of his cultural and political environment. The success of a map’s impact was often due to maps being seen as objective depictions of spatial variation. Indeed, for Huntington they performed an essential role in communicating and portraying racial information. But, as I argue, they were susceptible to bias, misunderstanding, and intentional manipulation. I show that Huntington’s maps are not accurate snapshots of reality, but rather cultural texts or rhetorical images intended to create a narrative and convince the reader of a particular subjective point of view.","PeriodicalId":43534,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era","volume":"21 1","pages":"262 - 278"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45914396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reconstruction, covered in the first part of the book, began with the promise of mass, or “ pure, ” democracy, with citizens embracing politics “ with a zealous fixation ” but leading to “ maddening ” results (xi). The post-Reconstruction period is characterized as a period of inertia, in which the political “ system was overheating and standing still, attracting great interest but offering little change ” (108). Ultimately, attempts to “ fix ” American democracy, discussed in the third part of the book, provided a series of “ new tools ” of democracy that acted as restraints on the system, curtailing the era ’ s perceived vices — for instance, the tribalism of mass partisanship — but also the virtues of mass participation and the sense of community provided by strong parties. The “ normal ” politics of the twentieth century, according to Grinspan, is “ an invention ” (ix) and a historical aberration, but a standard by which we evaluate contemporary American politics. At its core, The Age of Acrimony documents a set of interrelated tradeoffs: civility for participation, private decision-making for public engagement, and independence for partisanship.","PeriodicalId":43534,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era","volume":"21 1","pages":"354 - 355"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45914827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
