tocratic.” None of these conclusions are accurate, but de Tocqueville was wedded to them despite his empirical observations to the contrary. In his political career, he demonstrated the same naiveté concerning the practice of politics. An excellent theorist, one would surmise, would be able to apply those ideas to the building of political co ali tions around much needed reforms. Unfortunately, just as his Democracy in Amer i ca and theoretical work missed the dirty work of politics in the details, so de Tocqueville was unable to work the room in France’s national legislature or make much of an impact on the Second Republic’s constitution or in his brief stint as foreign minister. Despite his legal training and early work in the courts, de Tocqueville also seems to have not fully appreciated the English legal inheritance for Amer i ca’s national experiment, nor the defects in the federal system. He was committed to his dying day to the need to avoid centralization in order to preserve local traditions. With French democracy having succumbed to Bonapartism for the second time, the U.S. on the verge of civil conflict, and 1848 a lost cause, he might well have wondered whether he had made any contribution at all. He should not have worried about that. Though Zunz could have done more to show de Tocqueville’s lasting legacy in the social sciences, political theory, as a key primary source on Jacksonian democracy, and as an analyst of the origins of the French Revolution, this biography stands as a testament to a remarkable thinker and observer of a critical period in both French and American history.
托卡尔。”这些结论都不准确,但托克维尔坚持这些结论,尽管他的经验观察与此相反。在他的政治生涯中,他对政治实践表现出了同样的天真。有人猜测,一个优秀的理论家将能够将这些想法应用于围绕急需的改革建立政治联盟。不幸的是,正如他的《美国民主》和理论工作在细节上错过了政治的肮脏工作一样,托克维尔也无法在法国国家立法机构中发挥作用,也无法对第二共和国宪法或他短暂的外交部长任期产生多大影响。尽管德托克维尔受过法律培训,早期在法院工作,但他似乎也没有完全意识到英国对美国国家实验的法律继承,也没有意识到联邦制度的缺陷。他在临终前一直致力于避免中央集权以保护当地传统。随着法国民主第二次屈服于波拿巴主义,美国处于内战边缘,1848年的事业失败,他很可能会怀疑自己是否做出了任何贡献。他本不该担心的。尽管尊兹本可以做更多的工作来展示德·托克维尔在社会科学、政治理论方面的持久遗产,作为杰克逊民主的主要来源,以及法国大革命起源的分析人士,但这本传记证明了法国和美国历史上一个关键时期的杰出思想家和观察者。

Abstract:In the decades following the Revolution, American culture enthusiastically embraced the classical-republican ideals of equality and personal freedom from domination. But as nascent industrialism took hold in America, a wage-labor paradigm began to emerge which conflicted violently with these principles. Supported by a legal framework, transferred from England's feudal past, known as the doctrine of master and servant, wage labor demanded inequality, subordination, and fostered dependency. The most dramatic conflict, however, arose from the doctrine's disciplinary cornerstone—the sanctioning of brutal corporal punishment to enforce employer authority. This created a crisis of legitimation for the wage system. And because the doctrine of master and servant was clearly at odds with republican ideology, wage labor's crisis became law's crisis. This article argues that the abandonment of corporal punishment in favor of more subtle forms of coercion was accompanied by a legal discourse that contributed to the legitimation of an emerging wage-labor regime. This discourse transcended its legal origins to support a broader legal-moral ideology of opportunity that rationalized and, paradoxically, underpinned domination, dependency, and inequality amid strenuous assertions of justice.
摘要:在革命后的几十年里,美国文化热情地接受了平等和个人自由的古典共和主义理想。但随着新兴的工业化在美国站稳脚跟,一种与这些原则发生激烈冲突的雇佣劳动模式开始出现。受英国封建历史遗留下来的法律框架(即主仆主义)的支持,雇佣劳动要求不平等、从属和培养依赖性。然而,最引人注目的冲突源于该原则的纪律基石——批准残酷的体罚以行使雇主的权力。这就造成了工资制度合法化的危机。由于主仆主义与共和主义意识形态明显不一致,雇佣劳动的危机变成了法律的危机。这篇文章认为,放弃体罚,转而采用更微妙的胁迫形式,伴随着一种法律话语,这种话语有助于新兴的雇佣劳动制度的合法化。这种话语超越了其法律起源,支持了一种更广泛的机会法律道德意识形态,这种意识形态在激烈的正义主张中合理化并矛盾地支撑了统治、依赖和不平等。

spotty. For example, when Taylor argues that historians need to take seriously colonists’ fear that they were being misrepresented to the metropole, is Taylor’s explanation really so diff er ent from Bernard Bailyn’s argument, that fears of misrepre sen ta tion and conspiracy formed the ideological basis of the American Revolution?3 Deeper consideration of imperial histories that have dealt with governors, kings, ministers, legislatures, and petitions might have added heft and complexity to Taylor argument about misrepre sen ta tion and mediation during the imperial crisis. Sustained engagement with works about the growing partisanship of early republic newspapers, Sedition Act, and the XYZ Affair, such as Pasley’s Tyranny of Printers, might have helped Taylor make clearer to his readers the significance of his work, particularly his analy sis of citations and his thoughtful comparisons between Amer i ca, British Canada, and Spanish Louisiana.4 All in all, Misinformation Nation is a welcome addition to the lit er a ture on eighteenthcentury communications. Taylor’s transatlantic perspective informed by continental comparisons enriches our understanding of the period.
参差不齐的。例如,当泰勒认为历史学家需要认真对待殖民者对他们被大都市歪曲的恐惧时,泰勒的解释真的与伯纳德·拜伦的观点有很大的不同吗,即对歪曲的恐惧和阴谋构成了美国革命的意识形态基础?对帝国历史中涉及总督、国王、大臣、立法机关和请愿书的更深入的思考,可能会增加泰勒关于帝国危机中误传和调解的论点的份量和复杂性。持续阅读有关早期共和报纸日益增长的党派之争、《煽动法》和XYZ事件的作品,如帕斯利的《印刷工人的暴政》,可能有助于泰勒向读者更清楚地了解他的作品的意义,特别是他对引文的分析和对美国、英属加拿大和西班牙路易斯安那州的深思深思的比较。4总而言之,《错误信息的国家》是18世纪通信文学的一个受欢迎的补充。泰勒的跨大西洋视角在大陆比较的基础上丰富了我们对这一时期的理解。

ground in the West, both political and violent, Suval strips away the sense of the inevitability of secession and war that often hangs over portrayals of the 1850s. Old characterizations resurfaced in new guises during debates over slavery in the western territories. Stephen Douglas echoed Jacksonians of the past when he championed the rights of squatters to shape the social institutions of their new territories. They were not escaping civilization and citizenship but instead were extending the blessings of settled society to the wilderness. Who better to determine the fate of slavery in a territory than those who pushed forward first? Southern Democrats emphasized the transitory nature of early settlers when rejecting the concept of “squatter sovereignty.” Calhoun thought popular sovereignty “was reckless and frankly ridicu lous . . . given that the ‘first halfdozen of squatters would become the sovereigns, with full dominion’ ” (102). Opposing the bill to accept Oregon as a free territory, Calhoun called the inhabitants “ ‘mere trespassers . . . without title and without the authority of law’ ” (198). Like the Whigs a decade or two earlier, southern politicians portrayed squatters as disrupters and obstacles to the kind of propertied settlers who might champion slaveholders’ rights. Unlike the Democrats and Whigs of old, politicians like Douglas and Calhoun found no common ground to reconcile the growing divide between North and South. Suval has written an impor tant and engaging book that makes a strong case for the need to follow the paths of squatters to understand the political divisions over western territory, first over control and owner ship of public land and then over the fate of slavery in the West.
无论是政治上的还是暴力上的,苏瓦尔都将这种不可避免的分裂和战争的感觉剥去了,这种感觉经常笼罩在对19世纪50年代的描绘上。在关于西部地区奴隶制的辩论中,旧的特征以新的形式重新出现。斯蒂芬·道格拉斯(Stephen Douglas)呼应了过去的杰克逊主义者,他支持擅自占用者在新领土上塑造社会制度的权利。他们不是在逃避文明和公民身份,而是将定居社会的祝福延伸到荒野。谁能比那些先驱者更能决定一个地区奴隶制的命运呢?南方民主党人在反对“寮屋主权”的概念时,强调早期定居者的短暂性。卡尔霍恩认为人民主权“是鲁莽的,坦率地说是荒谬的……考虑到“最初的六个擅自占用者将成为主权国家,拥有完全的自治权”(102)。卡尔霍恩反对接受俄勒冈州为自由领土的法案,称当地居民“不过是非法侵入者……”没有所有权,也没有法律的权威’”(198)。就像十年前或二十年前的辉格党一样,南方的政客们把擅自占用者描绘成破坏者,是那些可能捍卫奴隶主权利的有产权定居者的障碍。与过去的民主党和辉格党不同,像道格拉斯和卡尔霍恩这样的政治家没有找到共同点来调和南北之间日益扩大的分歧。苏瓦尔写了一本重要而引人入胜的书,它有力地说明了跟随非法占用者的道路来理解西部领土的政治分歧的必要性,首先是关于公共土地的控制和所有权,然后是关于西部奴隶制的命运。

Abstract:This article corrects major historiographical flaws concerning Louisiana's early relationship with the United States and argues the federal tariff was the most critical factor influencing state reconciliation. Leading Louisiana historians like Peter Kastor concur that slavery inspired French-speaking Creole planters to embrace U.S. citizenship. Their consensus further holds that Creole commitment to slavery crystalized their national cultural acceptance. However, Creole planters shared far more with Caribbean slaveholders than those in the American South. Throughout Louisiana's early territorial and statehood years, slavery bolstered animosity between Anglo-Americans and Creoles. The former viewed Creoles through a racist lens and remained wary of their slave-related cultural practices, like openly acknowledging mixed-race relationships. The latter feared that English-speaking migrants would undermine their legal hegemony and inspire insurrection. Though slavery impeded Louisiana unity, the federal tariff did more than anything else to foster it. Throughout the 1820s, Creole planters became reliant on federal sugar protections to alleviate competition. Thus, the tariff gave Creoles a considerable incentive to embrace national political identities.Louisiana's redoubtable statesman Edward Livingston was particularly instrumental in promoting reconciliation on both sides. Before becoming Andrew Jackson's Secretary of State, the exiled New Yorker spent decades representing his adopted state's culturally divergent Creoles. When South Carolina triggered the Nullification Crisis in 1832-1833, Livingston spoke with Louisiana's unique perspective and eloquently guided Jackson's response which deftly balanced federalism's necessities with states' rights concerns. Thus, through the tariff, Louisiana not only embraced its new American identity, but the government employed Louisiana's voice to preserve the Union.
摘要:本文纠正了关于路易斯安那州与美国早期关系的主要史学缺陷,并认为联邦关税是影响州和解的最关键因素。像Peter Kastor这样的路易斯安那州著名历史学家同意奴隶制促使讲法语的克里奥尔种植园主接受美国公民身份。他们的共识进一步认为,克里奥尔人对奴隶制的承诺凝结了他们国家的文化接受度。然而,克里奥尔种植园主与加勒比奴隶主分享的东西比美国南部的多得多。在路易斯安纳州成立之初,奴隶制加剧了盎格鲁-美国人和克里奥尔人之间的敌意。前者从种族主义的角度看待克里奥尔人,并对他们与奴隶有关的文化习俗保持警惕,比如公开承认混合种族关系。后者担心说英语的移民会破坏他们的法律霸权,引发叛乱。虽然奴隶制阻碍了路易斯安那州的统一,但联邦关税却比其他任何东西都更能促进路易斯安那州的统一。在整个19世纪20年代,克里奥尔种植园主开始依赖联邦政府的糖保护措施来缓解竞争。因此,关税给了克里奥尔人接受国家政治认同的巨大动力。路易斯安那州令人敬畏的政治家爱德华·利文斯顿在促进双方和解方面发挥了特别重要的作用。在成为安德鲁•杰克逊(Andrew Jackson)的国务卿之前,这位流亡的纽约人花了几十年的时间代表他移居的州的克里奥尔人(creole)。当南卡罗来纳州在1832年至1833年引发“无效危机”时,利文斯顿以路易斯安那州独特的视角发言,并雄辩地指导杰克逊的回应,巧妙地平衡了联邦主义的必要性和各州的权利关切。因此,通过关税,路易斯安那州不仅接受了它新的美国身份,而且政府利用路易斯安那州的声音来维护联邦。
