“John Quincy Adams Pimped for the Tsar!”
Political Rhetoric in 19th-Century America
Think America’s political discourse is nastier than it’s
ever been? Think again. According to History Prof. John
Majewski, the political scene now is downright genteel
compared to what it was like in the days when America
was young. Come hear what politicos said about each
other in that era when Prof. Majewski speaks on “Political
Rhetoric in Nineteenth-Century America.”
John Quincy Adams (1767-1848)
We will meet at noon in the banquet room of Marmalade
Restaurant in the La Cumbre Shopping Center (directly
across the parking lot from Vons). A buffet lunch of
sandwiches and salads will be served prior to Prof.
Majewski’s talk.
Tsar Alexander I (1777-1825)
Our speaker, UCSB History department Chair John
Majewski, is a 19th-Century U.S. historian who specializes
in Civil War and economic history. He is the author, most
recently, of Modernizing a Slave Economy: The Economic
Imagination of the Confederate Nation (UNC Press, 2009).
