@JayCostTWS there's no doubt that the south's sense of 'demographic doom' contributed to its fears. but radicalization was a two way street. it's the 1860 election, not the new census figures or new states, that leads to secession — PolitiTweet.org

@JayCostTWS anyway, i was mainly thinking about your story about the 'west'--not the south. clearly, if the south retained power in perpetuity, it wouldn't have seceded. the senate certainly advanced that, if it's your goal. the electoral college, interestingly, most certainly did not — PolitiTweet.org

@JayCostTWS i think the last clause is where i disagree. i just don't buy that the senate was decisive in whether the parties or federal government reacted to these challenges. weaver got 8% of the vote in '92! the populists/silver parties won 3.4% of house seats v. 4.4% of the senate in '92 — PolitiTweet.org
