ABSTRACT In the past few decades, thanks in large part to the work of several historians that appears in my edited collection, Revolutions Across Borders: Jacksonian America and the Canadian Rebellion (2019), there is a growing trend to consider the Canadian Rebellion within an American historical and historiographical context. Despite this exciting new research, most studies on the Rebellion and the United States continue to focus on the northern borderland. However, the Canadian Rebellion was a significant event that gained attention all over the United States, including the American South. Similar to the North, the American South was also invested in the outcome of the Rebellion. This was due to one reason: slavery. By specifically focusing on the American South and, more importantly, its influence on American foreign policy during the period, I want to encourage historians to take a more definitive stance; that slavery—just like the Panic of 1837, the Anglo-American rapprochement of thepost-War-of-1812 period, or the fear of British retaliation—played a major role in the United States Government’s official opposition to the Rebellion.

加拿大叛乱、美国南部和奴隶制

摘要 在过去的几十年里，在很大程度上要感谢出现在我编辑的收藏中的几位历史学家的工作，跨越国界的革命：杰克逊主义的美国和加拿大叛乱（2019 年），有一种日益增长的趋势，即在一个范围内考虑加拿大叛乱。美国历史和史学背景。尽管有这项令人兴奋的新研究，但大多数关于叛乱和美国的研究仍然集中在北部边境地区。然而，加拿大叛乱是一个重大事件，引起了整个美国的关注，包括美国南部。与北方类似，美国南方也对叛乱的结果进行了投资。这是由于一个原因：奴隶制。通过特别关注美国南部，更重要的是，它在此期间对美国外交政策的影响，我想鼓励历史学家采取更明确的立场；奴隶制——就像 1837 年的恐慌、1812 年战争后时期的英美和解或对英国报复的恐惧——在美国政府正式反对叛乱中发挥了重要作用。
