>Emerson was fined $25 and spent a night in jail for refusing to pay his poll tax in protest over the Fugitive Slave Act ("This filthy enactment was made in the nineteenth century by men who could read and write. I will not obey it, by God." he wrote). Henry David Thoreau visited him and asked "Why are you in jail?" "Why aren't you?" was the reply.

The clay we got from Mexico is but desert. We cannot grow cotton or sugar in it. It seems likely that it shall not become slave states, and then what? In due time there may be enough free states to simply vote slavery out of existence. This is a vexatious problem.

>Swedish soprano Jenny Lind toured the United States in a series of tours in 1850-52 sponsored by showman P.T. Barnum. "Jennymania" engulfed Americans during the early 1850s and it was perhaps the country's first real widely shared music fad. Although Lind was considered inferior to that of Europe's elite opera singers in France, Austria, and Italy, enraptured American audiences couldn't get enough of it and she performed some 93 shows over a three year period. Demand for her concert tickets was so high that Barnum sold they by auction. >After her debut in NYC, she toured elsewhere in the Eastern US, then the South, Canada, and Cuba. She earned some $350k from these tours, equivalent to almost $10 million in 2020 dollars. >Lind died in 1887, a few years before sound recording appeared with Edison's wax cylinders, so we have only written accounts to go by for what her vocals sounded like.

Here, the Negro lives a charmed life. All his needs are provided for. Food, clothing, housing, medical care--he is considered a loved and valued part of his master's family. Up north, the Negro wanders from town to town an unloved and unwanted vagabond who will readily be fired from his job digging a ditch for the first Irishman that happens by, and he will end his days cold and lonely with no means of sustenance in his old age, sleeping in an alley next to a bottle of gin and covering himself from the winter snows with a pile of old newspapers denouncing the South as a land of wretches and tyrants.

>The Compromise of 1850 had abolished the Missouri Compromise and admitted California as a free state, and also introduced the alarming new Fugitive Slave Act, which caused an uproar from abolitionists. The Democrats nominated for their 1852 presidential candidate Franklin Pierce, a handsome former Congressman and Senator from New Hampshire, who had led a volunteer regiment in Mexico. >The Whigs declined to run incumbent president Fillmore and instead decided their tried-and-true strategy of running a war hero was worth trying again, so they ran General Winfield Scott, the hero of the Mexican War. Without much to campaign on, the election turned into little more than a bland personality contest. The pompous, vain Scott turned off a lot of voters while Whigs charged Pierce, who was known to be a prodigious drinker, as "the hero of a well-fought bottle." Democrats boasted "We Polked 'em in '44, we'll Pierce 'em in '52." >Pierce buried Scott in an easy electoral landslide, the latter only carrying four states. A friend of the old general remarked that he was "not used to running." The Whigs breathed their last in 1852, having finally choked to death on the Fugitive Slave Act, and had succeeded in putting only two presidents in the White House, both military heroes instead of professional politicians, neither of whom lived to complete a full term. >Voter apathy was running strong in this dull election and turnout was at its lowest since 1836.

>>137800454 A group of Whigs, disappointed with Winfield Scott being their presidential candidate, ran an alternative ticket with Webster although the aging and ailing ex-Secretary of State had not sought the presidency. He passed away on October 24 and most states removed him from the ballot, but he was still on there in Georgia and Massachusetts, and logged 7k "protest" votes.

>>137800894 >Webster was part of the New England elite and was unashamed of it. Yet for a man of such impressive intellect and oratorical skills, he never truly had fixed political positions and failed to put his name on any particular cause or platform. For someone as imperious as he, he could prove remarkably shy in public and would often change his opinions to please those around him. Arthur Schlesinger cites Webster's letter requesting retainers for fighting for the national bank, one of his most inveterate causes; he then asks how Webster could "expect the American people to follow him through hell or high water when he would not lead unless someone made up a purse for him?"[78]
