The Culture Question: How Hot-Button Issues Divide Us | Retro Report

It’S absurd and immoral for teachers to call boys, girls and girls boys do your job. A culture. War is a battle over how we live when we talk about the red and blue divide in the United States. Very often we’re talking about cultural differences. Wokeness teaching in schools and in corporate training, as opposed to War and Peace abroad or the economy, but the idea of fighting over symbols, a fear that the other side is trying to fundamentally change.

The country goes way: back John Charles Fremont. We run into his name today, all over the place, without perhaps realizing who he was Tes Los cars manufactured in Fremont California, in Wyoming mountain climbers, climb, Fremont Peak. There is a Fremont New York, Fremont Nebraska, the names are everywhere and they are signs of a time when John Charles Fremont was possibly the most famous living American. As the country expanded Westward by annexing land, John Fremont’s life moved Westward along with it. He led a number of expeditions out west.

He wrote These official IAL US Army reports, but he wrote them almost like novels. That put him at the center of this larger American narrative and his reports became the equivalent of best-selling books read all across the United States. Those new western territories created real issues in the American political system. It raised this question of whether that land should have slavery or shouldn’t have slavery. The wig party ultimately collapsed over the slavery issue and the Democratic party had conflict within it.

This opened a lane for the creation of the Republican party, which was anti-slavery and when it ran its first candidate, John Fremont in 1856, it Unleashed a culture War.

One of John’s symbols was his wife. Jesse Fremont was the daughter of a very powerful United States Senator she was a very attractive political figure, and it was suggested by Republicans at first that this was a brilliant Innovation and really great people on the other side immediately turned that into a disadvantage. They said she was the one who was really wearing the pants in the relationship and represented this radical women’s rights agenda. They argued Jesse Fremont is trying to upend the entire order of society.

Slavery was the issue in American politics, but gender and race are intertwined if Southerners are arguing. A man is at the head of a household and has control over his wife, his children and his slaves. If somebody questions the gender issue, then that also leads them to question the slavery issue. They implied because his wife was so independent. Fremont was emasculated by that he couldn’t control his wife and he couldn’t control the country also. He parted his hair in the middle. At the time, only women parted their hair in the middle. It made him too womanly the in the number of daily newspapers fed by a nationwide Telegraph Network and spread by railroad trains meant that people were getting a lot more political commentary in their face.

All the time, whipping up fear demonizing the other side. Immigration was part of that. Fremont was the son of a French immigrant. France was a Catholic country, and so Fremont’s political opponents began spreading the false story that he himself was a member of this alien religion controlled by the pope. It was said who were plotting to take over America. The Republicans were not refraining from participating in this culture.

War compared to John Fremont, who was young and had this beautiful wife, Democratic candidate, James Buchanan, Was A Bachelor. There were questions about why a 60-some year-old man in the 1850s had never once married there’s some speculation about whether James Buchanan was in fact gay. He argued he was married to the Constitution, and voters could trust him because he wouldn’t be distracted by a woman like John Fremont there’s a cartoon that represents the whole Democratic case that Fremont was going to profoundly change society. There is a Catholic priest really offensively portrayed free black man, a socialist demanding all land be distributed.

Equally, a woman’s rights activist smoking, a cigar which was a very unfeminine thing to do, and a free love activist portrayed as being really skinny, which at the time was unattractive and she’s, inviting John Fremont to join their group. In order to elect an anti-slavery president Republicans had to win virtually all the northern states. They did not it’s hard in retrospect without exit polls or anything else, to prove exactly what turned a particular election. But we know that Democrats raised immense fear about cultural change, and they prevailed. 1856 for Democrats was a bit of a hollow victory for two reasons.

One was that they elected James Buchanan, who is now roundly considered the worst president in American history, and he opened up a broader culture war that contributed to the Civil War.

The Civil War and its aftermath ended slavery. It did not end at all many of the cultural battles that flashed up in that time. In the 1850s, the Republicans were thought of as more Progressive. Now today, obviously, that’s flipped culture.

Wars remain an incredibly powerful force in American politics. They draw people in, and they force people to choose sides:
