Title: "Within the `Bowels' of the Republic,"
Publication: Iron Cages: Race and Culture in Nineteenth-Century America
Publisher: Knopf,
Place of Publication: New York:
Date: (1979)
Extent: 36-65.
Notes:
The author understands culture as synonymous with Gramsci's notion of cultural hegemony and aspires to answer the question, "How did white men in nineteenth-century America repress or `mutilate' themselves, become `less' than they `were,' and construct a culture of `self-renunciation' and `alienation'? And how did this process of domination produce a rage so intense it overwhelmed even rationality itself?" Argues for a TJ driven by reason (misstating the implications of the moral sense philosophy in order to do so), who felt threatened by the differences women, blacks, and Indians opposed to a homogenized republican society.
Important attempt to link TJ's attitudes to blacks with those he held toward Indians, but the author is too driven by a somewhat simplistic Marxist thesis to give a sufficiently thick or nuanced description of TJ's thought and practice.

Title: "Thomas Jefferson: Relationships with Women."
Publication: American Imago
Volume: 45
Date: (1988)
Extent: 431-47.
Notes:
Attempts to construct "a kind of composite design" for TJ's mother by examining his relationships with five women.
Claims TJ developed a pattern of attaching himself to women who needed consolation, occasionally even leaving them in order to revive their urge for seeking consolation.
TJ was supposedly unconsciously repeating in masochist fashion early scenes of trauma and consolation between himself and his mother.
Unfortunately, the relationships described are largely hypothetical (e.g. Mrs. George Wythe, Mrs. Walker, etc.) and the ones about which more is known, such as with Mrs. Cosway fit the author's description less well. Some items asserted as fact are at best dubious; still, a sometimes suggestive essay despite its many problems.

Extent: 635-48.
Notes:
Pschoanalytic interpretation of Notes
without supporting annotation for sources, some of which seem to require more substantiation.
Suggests that the references to violence, e.g.
the passage of the Potomac through the Blue Ridge, point to feelings of guilt about causing the pregnancy that led to his wife's death.
May strike many readers as a forced and extravagant reading.

Notes:
Thoughtful essay on using the texts of Dumas Malone, Virginius Dabney, and Fawn Brodie, among others, to lead students away from the assumption that their texts are merely a window onto verified facts.
This is done by exposing both the authors' and their own "naivete about the linguistic implications of the primary sources."

Title: "From Radical to Respectable: The Declining Influence of Jefferson's Political Thought on Twentieth-Century American Liberalism."
Publication: Ph. D. dissertation, University of Missouri
Publication: DAI 59/07-A, 2707
Date: (1997)
Extent: pp. 1564.
Notes:
Defines traditional liberalism in terms of ideology espoused by TJ and also by Robert Yates, Thomas Paine, and John Taylor of Caroline, and describes twelve tenets of such liberalism.
Traces a line of ideological descent from TJ through Jacksonian Democrats and Conscience Whigs to the Populist and Progressive movements.
By the third decade of the twentieth century, a different sense of liberalism emerged that led to "semantic confusion" and dichotomization of the meaning of the term.
However, the "transcendent nature of Jeffersonianism has allowed populists of the Left and populists of the right [despite their different emphases] to unite on occasion to oppose elitists of the Center."

Notes:
Conventional account of TJ's contradictions, relying for interpretive strategies on writers such as Paul Finkelman and David Brion Davis.
View of TJ lacks nuance to a degree so as perhaps to strike some readers as simply mistaken.
Sees TJ as a spendthrift with expensive tastes, for example, and fails to take into account more complicated reasons for his financial difficulties.

Publisher: Texas A & M University, Department of Agricultural Economics
Place of Publication: College Station, TX:
Date: (1986)
Extent: 24.
Notes:
Whereas the goals of American agriculture today are productivity and efficiency, but for TJ the goals of agriculture were "the anchoring of self interest in a community, and the necessity of self reliance."
If the notion that agriculture should be a moral example for society at large seems outdated, TJ's values of community and self reliance need to reasserted in a broader sense in order to "incorporate a sense of responsibility for our own long term survival into the choices we make as consumers, as producers, and as citizens."
Reads TJ through Wendell Berry.

Title: "Agrarianism and the American Philosophical Tradition."
Publication: Agriculture and Human Values
Volume: 7
Date: (Winter, 1990)
Extent: 3-8.
Notes:
Notes TJ's role as the patron of the agrarian ideal in America, but points out several positions that distinguish him from other, later agrarian thinkers from Emerson through James, Dewey and George Herbert Mead.
His agrarianism did not point toward establishing rights to farm, rose from an assessment of farming's instrumental value, and was subordinate to his abiding interest in forming a viable democratic state.

Title: "The First Meeting of Jefferson and Burr."
Publication: United States Magazine and Democratic Review
Volume: 9
Date: (1841)
Extent: 358-59.
Notes:
Anecdote from Thompson's 1822 visit during which TJ purports to have recognized the "coldness, cunning, and perfidy" of Burr's character at their first meeting.
This probably attests more to TJ's residual bitterness over the Burr affair than to the accuracy of his memory.

Title: "The Reform of the Racist Religion of the Republic"
Publication: The Religion of the Republic,
ed. Elwyn A. Smith.
Publisher: Fortress Press,
Place of Publication: Philadelphia:
Date: (1971)
Extent: 267-85.
Notes:
Argues that the denominations should be "sympathetic critics" of American civil religion, reaffirming its best ideals, values, and practices while exposing its perversions and distortions.
Its strengths include an emphasis on individual moral development, democratic egalitarianism, felt responsibility to share material abundance with the less fortunate, and guarantees of freedom of belief and worship; the most persistent violations of these have resulted from racial prejudice which has "perverted the religion of the Republic into an arrogant white Americanism."
Discusses TJ and Lyman Beecher as exemplars of the combination of racist ideas and national spirit, and argues that black studies can contribute "to halting the degeneration of the religion of the Republic" by "renewing of the prophetic spirit of this religion" and "the rekindling of the commitment of its supporters to lofty ideals."

Extent: 73-94.
Notes:
Argues that where TJ's early political thought showed a strong concern for individual self-reliance, after 1800 the precarious international position of the U.
S.
compelled him to support policies designed to promote national integration and self-reliance, sometimes in contradiction to his earlier notions.
Sees a tendency toward mercantilist strategies, partly because of his commitment to America's potential for power and prosperity, partly because of a perceived need to reverse dependency relationships with other nations.
The concept of self-reliance is sometimes a bit one-dimensional here, but an interesting argument.

Notes:
Argues that in the late 18th century law and police constituted two different paradigms for republical social order; the police paradigm supported a politically managed distributive justice, and the law paradigm protected property rights by removing them from the realm of politics.
Although the US moved toward the law paradigm, at the time of the revolution an alternative was offered by TJ.
Police "in Jeffersonian thought implied not the security of property rights in liberal capitalism, but rather a strategy of civic regulation and state formation which, through education, a participatory polity, and curbs on the concentration of wealth, would safeguard the republic and empower the generality of its population."
Thoughtful essay, although tends to make TJ too simply an egalitarian radical.

The shortcomings of TJ's gunboat policy stand out in view of the principles of seapower espoused by A.

Gunboats were plagued with problems, were not economical to build in terms of the numbers of cannon they made available, and were in proportion more expensive to maintain than the navy's frigates.
Their poor showing in the War of 1812 was their undoing.

Examines TJ's thought about foreign relations and practice of diplomacy.
Although he believed the U.
S.
was the bearer of a new diplomacy, one founded on the confidence of a free and virtuous people and intended to secure through peaceful measures ends based on the natural rights of man, his road to this new diplomacy was not uncomplicated; it grew out of the confrontation with Hamilton, a contest over the "very purpose and meaning of the country's existence ... which has never yielded a clear victor." TJ's rejection of the old diplomacy of the regime over which he enjoyed an immediate triumph led him in two directions: on the one hand TJ the crusader wished actively to reform the world in terms of American liberty, and on the other, fearing contamination from the world, he was willing for America to be merely a passive exemplar of liberty. A thoughtful study, offering a nuanced view of TJ's positions on foreign relations and his vision of America.

Notes:
Argues that the ideals of American life remain Jeffersonian in the midst of powerful and corrupting institutions which he would reject.
Points to his rejection of the notion of reasons of state for a belief that our interests are inseparable from our moral duties as an aspect of his desire to reject the whole apparatus of the modern state that had emerged in Europe in the eighteenth century.
Nevertheless, he employed most of the means characteristic of the old statecraft; he desired for the U.
S.
both the traditional fruits of power--expansion--without having it be corrupted by the exercise of power. He wanted statecraft, diplomacy, without coercion or armament. In his hands foreign policy overrode other interests, in effect taking the place of "reasons of state," because of the demands of his isolationism. This isolationist mentality was unwilling to come to terms with the political world of his time and is related to the deeply ingrained "inwardness" of our national feeling. Adaptation from the authors' book, noted above.

Extent: 108-121.
Notes:
Sees the Notes
as divided into initial eleven queries that discuss nature and a final eleven that discuss politics.
Query twelve is pivotal because of TJ's observation that while laws have sometimes decreed that towns should be in a particular place, nature has decreed otherwise.
In the first half TJ surveys nature as raw material for a republic, and in the second he presents his hopes for what can be done with these materials.
Contends that TJ was not satisfied with social contract theory as explanation for the origins of government, and in Notes
he shows how men's passions lead them to society.
Describes TJ's notion of happiness as contingent upon virtue and freedom. Interesting, but at heart a somewhat simplistic analysis. Suggestive insights make it worth reading, however.

Notes:
Describes fully the actual uses to which gunboats were put from 1804 until the years after the War of 1812.
Establishes that they performed better than critics than and later have maintained, although not so well as TJ had hoped.
They had their most effective moments in dealing with pirates on Grande Terre in Louisiana and in some defensive deployments during the War.
Concludes that American naval weakness during the war resulted from a lack of enough larger ships rather than from the failures of the gunboats.
While they gave young officers a chance for command, by isolating their commanders from other officers they did not enhance the professionalization of the navy. Mahanian critics and historians, concerned with projecting power at sea have unduly dismissed the gunboats, however.
