Abstract Details

2009, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, History.
Unitarians migrated to the antebellum West in small numbers. However despite their relative numerical insignificance, these optimistic men and women impacted many cultural building experiments in their new region. Unitarians traveled west to help shape the direction of the region, and by extension, the young nation as a whole. The Unitarian experience in literary ventures and institution building merit attention, both for the influence exerted in shaping the West, especially its intellectual and cultural aspect, and the relationship to Federalist refuge studies. These studies have neglected the ventures of former Federalists in the West, though this geographic chapter is imperative for understanding the retreat of Federalists into cultural institutions as a national phenomenon.
