Taking
Stock of the Nation in 1859

The
United States is completing the most exhaustive
census in its history and striking patterns
are emerging. All parts of the country are
booming, with rapid growth in the Northeast,
South, and West. Are the regions becoming
more integrated, though, or divergent? Will
politics calm in the midst of this growth
or continue to be stirred up? Will religion
and reform flourish or be smothered by prosperity?
The
Future of Virginia and the South
| Moderator: |
Edward
L. Ayers, President, University of Richmond |

Robert C. Kenzer, University of Richmond

The year of 1859 saw the slave-based economy
of the South at an all-time peak. Slaves have
never been worth more, cotton has never been
worth more, and the slave-based economy of
the upper South has never been more diversified
or valuable. Will these trends continue?
Making
Sense of John Brown's Raid
| Moderator: |
Edward
L. Ayers, President, University of Richmond |
| Panelists: |

W. Blight, Yale University

York

The most electrifying event of 1859 was John
Brown's raid on the armory at Harpers Ferry.
Virginia's execution of Brown seems to have
galvanized the North, but many white Northerners,
including the Republicans, refuse to endorse
Brown or his tactics. The long-term effects
of the raid are unclear.
Predictions
for the Election of 1860
| Moderator: |
Edward
L. Ayers, President, University of Richmond |
| Panelists: |
Jean
H. Baker, Goucher College
Daniel W. Crofts, College of New Jersey
Nelson D. Lankford, Virginia Historical
Society
Elizabeth R. Varon, Temple University |
Taking stock of the potential candidates in
each of the two major parties, panelists will
determine who has the best chance of winning
the nomination and the general election. There
is turmoil among the Democrats, the new Republican
Party shows considerable strength, and strong
Southern-rights advocates are calling for
radical change, so predicting a winner may
be difficult.
