摘要

重建被视为弥补失去的南方荣誉的时期。然而,我认为,重建斗争不仅仅是为了恢复战败的南方人战前的荣誉,因为内战并没有终止或削弱荣誉。相反,它的内容,什么是光荣的观念,发生了变化。南卡罗来纳州的政治家小詹姆斯·切斯纳特(1815-1885)观察到并哀叹了这些变化。荣誉既可以被视为情绪指南的来源,也可以被视是在可接受和不可接受的情绪之间导航的工具。通过表达可接受的情绪,个人可以声称自己拥有荣誉,并试图实现人生目标。在重建过程中,荣誉的作用和荣誉相关情感表达的重要性得到了强化。由于社会的重大变化,个人的目标发生了变化,对荣誉的理解也产生了强有力的改变的必要性。它从暴力、种族主义和对羞耻的更加强烈的恐惧中汲取了力量,从而发生了转变。为了维护白人至上主义,许多南方白人重新调整了他们的荣誉理想和情感表达。尽管如此,一些温和派人士,如切斯纳特,发现很难接受这些新的理想,因此几乎失去了政治权力。

Honor and Humiliation: James Chesnut and Violent Emotions in Reconstruction South Carolina
Reconstruction has been seen as the period of redeeming lost southern honor. I argue, however, that the Reconstruction struggle was not simply about restoring pre-war honor to defeated Southerners, for the Civil War had not terminated or subdued honor. Rather, its contents, the idea of what was honorable, underwent changes. These changes were observed and lamented by James Chesnut, Jr. (1815–1885), a politician from South Carolina. Honor can be seen both as a source of emotion guidelines and as a tool used for navigating between acceptable and unacceptable emotions. By expressing acceptable emotions, an individual could claim ownership to honor and attempt to achieve life goals. During Reconstruction, the role of honor and the importance of honor-related emotional expression intensified. Because of major changes in society, individual goals changed and the necessity of forceful alteration to the understanding of honor arose. It became transformed, borrowing from violence, racism, and a more acute fear of shame. Aiming to preserve white supremacy, many white Southerners readjusted their honor ideals and emotional expression. Nonetheless, some moderate individuals, like Chesnut, found it difficult to adopt these new ideals and thus all but lost their political power.
