Nineteenth-century Americans saw danger lurking everywhere: in railway cars and trolleys; fireplaces and floods; and amid social and political movements, from the abolition of slavery to suffrage. After the Civil War, Americans were shaken by financial panic and a volatile, post-slave economy. They were awe-struck and progressively alarmed by technological innovations that promised speed and commercial growth but also posed unprecedented physical hazard. Most of all, Americans were uncertain, particularly in light of environmental disasters like earthquakes and hurricanes, about their own city on a hill, and of the once indisputable and protective hand of a beneficent God. The disasters, accidents, and social and political upheavals that characterized nineteenthcentury culture had enormous explanatory power that was both metaphoric and real. Today we speak of similar insecurities—financial, informational, environmental, and political—and we obsessively express our worry and fear for the future. Cultural theorist Paul Virilio refers to these feelings as the “threat horizon,” one that endlessly identifies and produces new dangers.
