摘要

This project traces American slaveholding attitudes toward international affairs from British emancipation in 1833 until the start of the Civil War. Slaveholding southerners, as presidents, cabinet officers, diplomats, and powerful journalists, exerted disproportionate influence on American foreign policy throughout the antebellum period. Of course, not all southern politicians agreed about international affairs, but I argue that an elite consensus, embracing leaders from John C. Calhoun to Jefferson Davis, evolved around what might be called a "foreign policy of slavery.";A sustained look at this foreign policy of slavery challenges our traditional association of proslavery politics with states' rights conservatism; it also revises the way we see southern slaveholders in the broader context of world history. Not merely isolated reactionaries, crying out against the transformations of the nineteenth century, proslavery leaders constructed their own vision of modernity, and acted boldly to adavance it. In their larger effort to protect and propel the cause of slavery---not only within American borders, but across the Western hemisphere---slaveholders pursued aggressive, centralizing foreign policies, from military expansion to territorial acquisition.;This dissertation traces uses a variety of manuscript records, government documents, and published periodicals to trace both the theory and practice of the foreign policy of slavery across the antebellum decades. Beginning with the southern reaction to British abolitionism, I go on to consider the struggle to defend slavery in Texas, Cuba, and Brazil; the Mexican-American War; and, in the 1850s, the evolution of an international proslavery argument. The elite push for secession in 1861, I suggest in conclusion, must be understood both as attempt to salvage the southern slave system and an ambitious bid for overseas power.

Calhoun）到杰斐逊·戴维斯（Jefferson Davis）在内的领导人之间的精英共识是围绕所谓的“奴隶制外交政策”演变而来的。奴隶制的外交政策挑战了我们传统的奴隶制政治与国家权利保守主义的联系；它也改变了我们在更广阔的世界历史背景下看待南方奴隶主的方式。不仅是孤立的反动派，他们对十九世纪的变革大喊大叫，奴隶制领袖们建立了自己的现代性视野，并大胆地采取行动来推广这种现代性。为了更大范围地保护和推动奴隶制事业-不仅在美国境内，而且在整个西半球-奴隶主奉行侵略性，集中化的外交政策，从军事扩张到领土获得。各种手稿记录，政府文件和出版的期刊，以追溯整个战前几十年奴隶制外交政策的理论和实践。从南方对英国废奴主义的反应开始，我继续考虑在得克萨斯州，古巴和巴西捍卫奴隶制的斗争。墨西哥美国战争；在1850年代，国际奴役论据的演变。最后，我建议，精英人士在1861年提出的要求分离的努力，既应理解为挽救南部奴隶制度的尝试，也应理解为雄心勃勃地争取海外势力。
