Sculpture is an artistic practice that involves material, three-dimensional, and generally static objects, whereas cinema produces immaterial, two-dimensional, kinetic images. These differences are the basis for a range of magical, mystical and phenomenological interactions between the two media. Sculptures are literally brought to life on the silver screen, while living people are turned into, or trapped inside, statuary. Sculpture motivates cinematic movement and film makes manifest the durational properties of sculptural space. This book will examine key sculptural motifs and cinematic scul

This chapter details the standoff between Gladiator and Flambeau. It reviews Sam Whiting's decision to acquire a stockpile of coal so that any Union cruisers that came to port would be ready to move on blockade runners when necessary. Blockade runners had a serious advantage in that they chose the time to make their move, while blockading ships had to always keep their steam up to have any chance of catching their prey. The chapter then examines the technology and technique of blockade running and how coal became a strategic material and came into high demand. By the end of 1861, dozens of ships had evaded the blockade to make their way back and forth from Nassau to the Confederacy. The chapter analyzes the impact of the arrivals of Prince of Wales, Ella Warley, Theodora, and Gladiator on astute businessmen like George Trenholm and Henry Adderley. With the blockade running trade about to erupt, the chapter unveils how Henry Adderley's son Augustus Adderley and his son-in-law George Harris became partners in his firm. Ultimately, the chapter discusses the importance of Baptiste Laffite, an agent for John Fraser and Company, and his role in facilitating the flow of material through Nassau.

During the first few decades of the nineteenth century, advocates of an independent court system staffed by law-trained judges with law-declaring powers in the common law tradition launched a multi-front campaign against popular constitutionalism. They wrote judicial opinions, legal treatises, and popular articles; compiled law reports; and founded law schools. Prominent figures included Judge Jeremiah Smith (New Hampshire); Professor and Chancellor James Kent (New York); Professor and Justice Joseph Story, Isaac Parker, Theodore Sedgwick, and Theophilus Parsons (Massachusetts); Jesse Root and Judge Zepaniah Swift (Connecticut); George Wythe and Edmund Pendleton (Virginia); William Gaston and Thomas Ruffin (North Carolina); George Nicholas and John Breckinridge (Kentucky); Thomas McKean and Alexander Dallas (Pennsylvania); and Henry William Desaussure (South Carolina). Key judicial rulings included Symsbury Case (Connecticut); Merrill v. Sherburne (New Hampshire); and Goddard v. Goddard (Massachusetts). Benefitting from converging contemporary political, social, and economic forces, as well as the rise of judicial elections, the campaign succeeded. The judiciary solidified its institutional independence from the legislature and established its power to adjudicate the legality of decisions made by the other branches. Yet this accomplishment came at a cost: juries lost autonomy inside the judicial structure, and their power was weakened permanently.

Traditional prohibition histories make a big to-do about evangelical Christianity. But as Chapter 14 explores, the evangelism of the Progressive Era was not about Bible thumping, or otherworldly damnation. Rather the social gospel—most famously pioneered by the Baptist Walter Rauschenbusch—was about uplifting the poor and downtrodden as per Jesus’s example. Social justice meant doing right by your fellow man, not getting him addicted for profit. Rauschenbusch’s evangelism was socialism with a Christian moral compass. This chapter examines the social gospel, including Henry George’s famed “single tax” on unearned income as a way to remedy the vast inequalities of wealth and power. Neither temperance nor evangelism was antithetical to new medical-science and social-science approaches the liquor question. The chapter traces the effects of this evangelism on the antiliquor progressivism of Theodore Roosevelt in New York politics.
