About Northern Men with Southern Loyalties

In the decade before the Civil War Northern Democrats although they ostensibly represented antislavery and free state constituencies made possible the passage of such proslavery legislation as the Compromise of 1850 and Fugitive Slave Law of the same year the Kansas Nebraska Act of 1854 and the Lecompton Constitution of 1858 In Northern Men with Southern Loyalties Michael Todd Landis forcefully contends that a full understanding of the Civil War and its causes is impossible without a careful examination of Northern Democrats and their proslavery sentiments and activities He focuses on a variety of key Democratic politicians such as Stephen Douglas William Marcy and Jesse Bright to unravel the puzzle of Northern Democratic political allegiance to the South As congressmen state party bosses convention wire pullers cabinet officials and presidents these men produced the legislation and policies that led to the fragmentation of the party and catastrophic disunion Through a careful examination of correspondence speeches public and private utterances memoirs and personal anecdotes Landis lays bare the desires and designs of Northern Democrats He ventures into the complex realm of state politics and party mechanics drawing connections between national events and district and state activity as well as between partisan dynamics and national policy Northern Democrats had to walk a perilously thin line between loyalty to the Southern party leaders and answering to their free state constituents If Northern Democrats sought high office they would have to cater to the Slave Power Yet if they hoped for election at home they had to convince voters that they were not mere lackeys of the Southern grandees
