Joining southern slaveholders and northern advocates of democracy, the coalition facilitated a dramatic expansion of American slavery and generated ideological conflict over slaveholder power in national politics. Slavery was not an exception to the rise of American democracy, Padraig Riley argues, but was instead central to the formation of democratic institutions and ideals. Slavery and the Democratic Conscience explains how northern men both confronted and accommodated slavery as they joined the Democratic-Republican cause. Although many northern Jeffersonians opposed slavery, they helped build a complex political movement that defended the rights of white men to self-government, American citizenship, and equality and protected the master's right to enslave. Dissenters challenged this consensus, but they faced significant obstacles. Slaveholders resisted interference with slavery, while committed Jeffersonians built an aggressive American nationalism, consolidating an ideological accord between white freedom and slaveholder power. By the onset of the Missouri Crisis in 1819, democracy itself had become an obstacle to antislavery politics, insofar as it bound together northern aspirations for freedom and the institutional power of slavery. That fundamental compromise had a deep influence on democratic political culture in the United States for decades to come. 410 0$aEarly American studies. 606 $aSlavery$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aPolitical parties$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1789-1809 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1809-1817 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1817-1825 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSlavery$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical parties$xHistory. 676 $a306.3/620973 700 $aRiley$b Padraig$01027668 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466887003321 996 $aSlavery and the democratic conscience$92443252 997 $aUNINA
