The 1803 purchase of the Louisiana Territory was a watershed event
for the fledgling United States. Adding some 829,000 square miles
of territory, the Louisiana Purchase set a striking precedent of
Presidential power and brought to the surface profound legal and
constitutional questions. As the nation continued to expand
westward and into the Pacific and Caribbean, critical social,
political and constitutional questions arose that greatly tested
American resolve and reshaped the nation's founding premises. In
this exciting collection, Sanford Levinson and Bartholomew Sparrow
bring together noted scholars in American history, constitutional
law, and political science to examine role that the Louisiana
Purchase played in shaping both the expansionist policies of the
nineteenth century and critical interpretations of the
Constitution. The Louisiana Purchase and American Expansion, 1803
1898 provides a fascinating overview of how the U.S. Constitution
and the American political system is inextricably tied to the
Louisiana Purchase and the territorial expansion of the United
States."
The story of Brown v. Board of Education is a half-century old now
and has been retold many times by historians, legal scholars,
sociologists, and others. This collection of persuasive scholarly
essays examines, for the first time, the role rhetorical theory
played in the development of educational segregation. Contributors
consider the NAACP s development of a series of graduate school
cases to challenge Plessy, analyze the Brown decision itself,
assess the state response to Brown, and critique the two Supreme
Court decisions implementing the Brown decision. By illustrating
how rhetorical strategies created, sustained, challenged, and,
ultimately, reversed educational segregation in the United States,
this work demonstrates the real value of the rhetorical perspective
and provides encouragement to those who wish to help further
develop this emerging field of judicial rhetoric."
