| Abstract | Traditionally historians explain the alliance between antebellum German immigrants and the Democratic Party with the latter's active opposition to the nativism of the Whig and later American Party. This, however, was not the case in Richmond ... This essy will argue that the positions and respect these Germans gained and enjoyed in Richmond's social and civic life suggest a higher level of tolerance towards political liberals exhibited by Southern authorities during the sectional crisis than previously assumed. |
