Book Description
Breckinridge discusses the possible preference the Chief Justice might have for his Presidential candidacy; he declares that the "confidence of one whose great activities and character I sincerely revere will continue to be among one of the most gratifying recollections of my life. A former Congressman (1851-1855), Breckinridge became an unsuccessful candidate for the Presidency in 1860, after having served as Buchanan's Vice President. He was elected to the Senate in 1861, from which he was expelled for his support of the rebellion; he joined the Confederate Army and later became the Secretary of War in the Confederate cabinet.

Conjectures of Order
Author: Michael O'Brien
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 9780807828007
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 800
Book Description
In this magisterial history of intellectual life, Michael O'Brien analyzes the lives and works of antebellum Southern thinkers and reintegrates the South into the larger tradition of American and European intellectual history. O'Brien finds that the evolution of Southern intellectual life paralleled and modified developments across the Atlantic by moving from a late Enlightenment sensibility to Romanticism and, lastly, to an early form of realism. Volume 1 describes the social underpinnings of the Southern intellect by examining patterns of travel and migration; the formation of ideas on race, gender, ethnicity, locality, and class; and the structures of discourse, expressed in manuscripts and print culture. In Volume 2, O'Brien looks at the genres that became characteristic of Southern thought. Throughout, he pays careful attention to the many individuals who fashioned the Southern mind, including John C. Calhoun, Louisa McCord, James Henley Thornwell, and George Fitzhugh. Placing the South in the larger tradition of American and European intellectual history while recovering the contributions of numerous influential thinkers and writers, O'Brien's masterwork demonstrates the sophistication and complexity of Southern intellectual life before 1860.
