Representative Mann: Horace Mann, the republican experiment and the South

Article Abstract:

Horace Mann was the epitome of a northern Republican who asserted his intellectual, social, economic and spiritual superiority by contrasting it with the educational and economic backwardness of the south. Mann and the other Republicans viewed the surging power of the south as a threat to their dominance and sought to curtail this empowerment by emphasizing the importance of education in a legitimate republic. Such thoughts became the groundwork for the 'Republican critique.'

It is important to reconsider the implications of critical fetishization of the fragmented or the performative self.
