1.3.3 二战美国女性与政治国内战后妇女参政现象研究的历史缺陷
The fields of antebellum (pre Civil War) political history and women’s history use separate sources and focus on separate issues. Political historians, examining sources such as voting records, newspapers, and politicians’ writings, focus on the emergence in the1840’s of a new “American political nation,” and since women were neither voters nor politicians, they receive little discussion. Women’s historians, mean-while, have shown little interest in the subject of party politics, instead drawing on personal papers, legal records such as wills, and records of female associations to illuminate women’s domestic lives, their moral reform activities, and the emergence of the woman’s rights movement.
However, most historians have underestimated the extent and significance of women’s political allegiance in the antebellum period. For example, in the presidential election campaigns of the 1840’s, the Virginia Whig party strove to win the allegiance of Virginia’s women by inviting them to rallies and speeches. According to Whig propaganda, women who turned out at the party’s rallies gathered information that enabled them to mold party-loyal families, reminded men of moral values that transcended party loyalty, and conferred moral standing on the party. Virginia Democrats, in response, began to make similar appeals to women as well. By the mid-1850’sthe inclusion of women in the rituals of party politics had become common-place, and the ideology that justified such inclusion had been assimilated by the Democrats.
战前政治历史和妇女历史课题采用不同资源专注不同事件。政治历史家关注投票记录、报纸,政治家文章,及“美国政治之国”的出现。女性不是投票人或政治家,没被提及女性历史家对党派政治不感兴趣,而是利用私人文件、法律记载如遗嘱,和女性协会记录来说明妇女的家庭生活、道德改革及女权运动的出现。
两种历史学家不同的观点
但是大多数历史学家低估了妇女战前政治效忠的程度与重要性。例如VW党在1840’s的总统选举里邀请妇女参加集会和演说,以赢得其效忠。VW党宣传道在集会出现的妇女收集信息,使党派塑造忠实的家庭,提醒男人道德价值观超越党派忠诚,树立政党道德声誉。VD党相应地也开始吸引妇女加入。到1850’s中期,妇女出席党派政治仪式变得普遍,这种包含妇女的意识形态被VD党吸收
