In the 1850s, politicians and abolitionists despaired, complaining that the 'North, the poor timid, mercenary, driveling North' offered no forceful opposition to the power of the slaveholding South. And yet, as John L. Brooke proves, the North did change. Inspired by brave fugitives who escaped slavery and the cultural craze that was Uncle Tom's Cabin, the North rose up to battle slavery, ultimately waging the bloody Civil War. While Lincoln's alleged quip about the little woman who started the big war has been oft-repeated, scholars have not fully explained the dynamics between politics and culture in the decades leading up to 1861. Rather than simply viewing the events of the 1850s through the lens of party politics, 'There Is a North' is the first book to explore how cultural action -- including minstrelsy, theater, and popular literature -- transformed public opinion and political structures. Taking the North's rallying cry as his title, Brooke shows how the course of history was forever changed"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Stowe, Harriet Beecher, $d 1811-1896. $t Uncle Tom's cabin $x Influence. 650 0 $a Antislavery movements $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Antislavery movements $z United States $x Public opinion. 650 0 $a Politics and culture $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Popular culture $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1849-1861. 651 0 $a United States $x Causes. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Causes. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317024310.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20200304013632.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200303021549.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F0ACEFA0471C11EA8C4E586797128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
