Capital punishment & the making of America, 1683-1807 -- v. 2. Capital punishment & the making of America, 1835-1843 -- 330 $a"This eye-opening and well-researched companion to the first volume of Executing Democracy enters the death-penalty discussion during the debates of 1835 and 1843, when pro-death penalty Calvinist minister George Barrell Cheever faced off against abolitionist magazine editor John O'Sullivan. In contrast to the macro-historical overview presented in volume 1, volume 2 provides micro-historical case studies, using these debates as springboards into the discussion of the death penalty in America at large. Incorporating a wide range of sources, including political poems, newspaper editorials, and warring manifestos, this second volume highlights a variety of perspectives, thus demonstrating the centrality of public debates about crime, violence, and punishment to the history of American democracy. Hartnett's insightful assessment bears witness to a complex national discussion about the political, metaphysical, and cultural significance of the death penalty."--Publisher's website. 410 0$aRhetoric and public affairs series. 606 $aCapital punishment$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aCrime$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aRhetoric$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aDebates and debating$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$y1783-1865 615 0$aCapital punishment$xHistory. 615 0$aCrime$xHistory. 615 0$aRhetoric$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aDebates and debating$xHistory. 676 $a364.660973 700 $aHartnett$b Stephen J$01463157 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824979403321 996 $aExecuting democracy$94023546 997 $aUNINA
