Mastering America recounts efforts of 'proslavery nationalists' to
navigate the nineteenth-century geopolitics of imperialism,
federalism, and nationalism and to articulate themes of American
mission in overtly proslavery terms. At the heart of this study are
spokesmen of the Southern 'Master Class' who crafted a vision of
American destiny that put chattel slavery at its center. Looking
beyond previous studies of the links between these 'proslavery
nationalists' and secession, the book sheds new light on the
relationship between the conservative Unionism of the 1850s and the
key formulations of Confederate nationalism that arose during war
in the 1860s. Bonner's innovative research charts the crucial role
these men and women played in the development of American
imperialism, constitutionalism, evangelicalism, and popular
patriotism.
