Appaled and paralyzed. Abandoned and betrayed. Cowed and bowed. Thus did
Frederick Douglass describe the North in the wake of the compromise measures of
1850
that seemed to enshrine concessions to slavery permanently in the American political
system. This study discovers in that feature of political antisiavery discourse—the condem¬
nation of an enfeebled North—the key to a wide variety of literary works of the
1
850s. Both
the political discourse and
lhe
literature set out to expose the self-chosen degradation of
compromise as a threat to both the personal foundation of each individual Northerner and
the survival of the people as an actor in history. This book fills a gap in literary criticism of
the period, which has primarily focused on abolitionist discourse when relating antisiavery
thought to the literature of the decade. Though it owed a debt to the abolitionists, political
antisiavery discourse took on the more focused mission of offering a challenge to the peo¬
ple. Would the North submit to the version of self-discipline demanded by the slave power s
Northern minions, ex would it tap the energy of the nation s founding until it embodied defi¬
ance in its very constitution? Would the North remain a type for the future slave empire it
could not prevent, or would it prophesy national freedom in the simple recovery of its own
agency? Literary works in both poetry and prose were well suited to making this political
challenge
bea
ils
full weight on the nation—fleshing out the critique through narrative crises
that brought home the personal stake each Northerner held in what George Julian called
an exodus from the bondage of compromise. By the end of
1860,
this exodus had been
completed. That accomplishment owed much to the massive ten-year cultural project
exposing the slaveryKjccommodating definition of nationality as a threat to the republican
selfhood of each Northerner. Stowe, Whittier, Willis, and Whitman, among others, devoted
their
iterar/
works to this project.
