- W4317828255 abstract "Michael T. Bernath examines an incident of mob action against two northern teachers in South Carolina following John Brown’s raid in 1859. At the time, “the excitement at Boggy Swamp” attracted national attention, and historians since have cited it to show the anti-abolitionist hysteria that swept the South. On closer inspection, however, there was something strange about what happened at Boggy Swamp. Those who demanded the expulsion of the teachers were primarily non-enslaving yeomen and they were resisted, by force of arms, by the enslaving planters who employed the teachers. What the excitement at Boggy Swamp and the war of words that followed truly revealed were the ways in which sectional tensions could be exploited in the service of class conflict and pre-existing personal animosities. The controversy hinged upon the unique place that northern teachers occupied within antebellum southern society. Given their attachment to powerful enslaving families, teachers enjoyed a certain degree of protection, except at moments like these when sectional hostilities permitted others to target them as proxies for their wealthy patrons, all in the name of southern rights and the protection of slavery. What appeared to be a conflict between insiders and outsiders was in fact a complicated internal struggle with far deeper roots than Harpers Ferry." @default.
