註釋Historians of the South have generally avoided issues pertaining to the region's law and legal institutions, while American legal historians have long neglected the southern experience. Appellate judges in particular, both in and of the South, remain among the least-studied of topics. This examination of the careers of Judges Spencer Roane, William Johnson, Joseph Henry Lumpkin, Thomas Ruffin, John Hemphill, George Washington Stone, and Emory Speer helps reveal the impact of southern society and consciousness on the judicial process. During the course of the nineteenth century, southern appellate judges balanced the competing ideological pressures arising out of their broad inclusion in the American legal culture and their close connection to the southern political order.
