Capital punishment & the making of America, 1683-1807 -- v. 2. Capital punishment & the making of America, 1835-1843 --"This eye-opening and well-researched companion to the first volume of Executing Democracy enters the death-penalty discussion during the debates of 1835 and 1843, when pro-death penalty Calvinist minister George Barrell Cheever faced off against abolitionist magazine editor John O'Sullivan. In contrast to the macro-historical overview presented in volume 1, volume 2 provides micro-historical case studies, using these debates as springboards into the discussion of the death penalty in America at large. Incorporating a wide range of sources, including political poems, newspaper editorials, and warring manifestos, this second volume highlights a variety of perspectives, thus demonstrating the centrality of public debates about crime, violence, and punishment to the history of American democracy. Hartnett's insightful assessment bears witness to a complex national discussion about the political, metaphysical, and cultural significance of the death penalty."--Publisher's website.Rhetoric and public affairs series.Capital punishmentUnited StatesHistoryCrimeUnited StatesHistoryRhetoricPolitical aspectsUnited StatesHistoryDebates and debatingUnited StatesHistoryUnited StatesHistoryColonial period, ca. 1600-1775United StatesHistory1783-1865Capital punishmentHistory.CrimeHistory.RhetoricPolitical aspectsHistory.Debates and debatingHistory.364.660973Hartnett Stephen J1463157MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824979403321Executing democracy4023546UNINA
