The Whigs and the Know Nothings...

Editors Charles River

It was in the wake of the election of Andrew Jackson that the Whigs emerged as opponents to the Jacksonian Democrats during a period of American history known as the Second Party System (1828-1854). Initially, the conflict was rooted not only in different visions for the United States – the Whigs believed in a strong central bank and federally funded infrastructure projects (known as “internal improvements”) – but also in opposition to one man: Andrew Jackson. When it first formed, the Democratic Party coalesced around Jackson, and his beliefs and actions became Democratic Party dogma, which left the diverse group of people who opposed Jackson to become the Whigs.  
The problem with this arrangement is that while the Whigs scored some notable successes as an opposition party, they found governing more difficult. The two Whigs elected president, William Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor, died in office, raising to the presidency their respective vice-presidents, John Tyler and Millard Fillmore. Neither man succeeded in uniting the Whig Party behind him (a gargantuan task, to be sure), and neither was ever elected president in his own right. The increasing rancor over slavery is what finally killed the Whig Party.  
	In the wake of contemporary debates over immigration, the “Know-Nothings” have been regularly cited as an example of how dangerous nativist attitudes can become and, indeed, have proven to be in America’s history. Several columnists, for instance, have striven to make comparisons between the Know-Nothings of antebellum America and the country’s recent immigration policies, helping in part to generate modern interest in a political party that many Americans have heard of but tend to know little about. The Know-Nothing movement can actually be tied to a number of violent episodes and ethnically charged riots that occurred during the late 1850s.

H.G. Wells (1866–1946) was an English writer, historian, and futurist, best known as one of the pioneers of science fiction. Born in Bromley, England, he trained as a scientist under T.H. Huxley, which influenced his fascination with evolutionary theory and speculative fiction. His groundbreaking novels, including The Time Machine (1895), The War of the Worlds (1898), and The Invisible Man (1897), explored time travel, alien invasions, and scientific hubris, shaping the genre’s future. A prolific writer, Wells also penned social commentaries, predicting technological advancements and global conflicts with eerie accuracy. His works often carried themes of class struggle, ethics, and human progress. Beyond fiction, he was an outspoken socialist and advocate for world peace. His visionary storytelling continues to inspire science fiction writers and filmmakers, securing his legacy as the “father of science fiction.

The Sleeping Beauty in the Woods

Charles Perrault

The Sleeping Beauty in the Woods, is a fairy tale about a princess cursed by an evil fairy to sleep for a hundred years before being awakened by a handsome prince. A good fairy, knowing the princess would be frightened if alone when she wakes, uses her wand to put every living person and animal in the palace and forest asleep, to awaken when the princess does.
The story of Sleeping Beauty is generally associated with the Brothers Grimm. However, they adapted the tale in 1812 from Charles Perrault's version, which was published in French in 1697. Perrault's version itself was adapted from a much older story, known as Perceforest, which is thought to have originated in the 14th century.
