Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

In much the manner of Bruce Burgett and Glenn Hendler’s Keywords for American Cultural Studies, each essay is intended to theorize or historicize a keyword to Paxton print war:
James P. Myers, Jr. uses Thomas Barton's "Conduct of the Paxton Men" as a case study through which to examine the role of anonymity in pamphleteering.
Benjamin Bankhurst traces the origins of anti-Presbyterianism to post-Restoration Britain and Ireland.
Nicole Eustace examines condolence ceremonies in both treaty-making and print debates.
Scott Paul Gordon posits that Paxton Boys' excursions to Lancaster served as a public rebuke of local elites, intended to shame authorities into fulfilling their roles as benevolent patriarchs.
Judith Ridner explores how material culture shapes pamphlets and political cartoons, and she discusses what symbols such as looking-glasses and blindfolds would have represented for colonial readers.
