Home Transcripts Mission Images/Sounds ... Site Search T HE "VAN OF THE CAUCASIAN RACE" TEXT: THOMAS HART BENTON (1782-1858). SENATE SPEECH. 1846 CONTEXT: It is important to understand the monoracial thinking underlying the dominant ideology of America in the first half of the nineteenth century. It was expressed often enough in remarks about Native Americans and African Americans but it was also an important element undergirding America's positive sense of itself and its mission in the world. A large segment of the American population shared Senator Thomas Hart Benton's vision as he discussed, on the Senate floor, the spread of American influence to the Pacific basin. Benton was a transplanted North Carolinian: first to Tennessee and, after the War of 1812, to St. Louis, Missouri. Elected to the United States Senate in 1820, he served thirty years. Ironically in light of his words here, he lost his seat because of his growing opposition to slavery. Senate Speech. 1846 Three and a half centuries ago, this race, in obedience to the great command, arrived in the New World, and found new lands to subdue and replenish.... Even fourscore years ago the philosophic Burke was considered a rash man because he said the English colonists would top the Alleghenies, and descend into the valley of the Mississippi, and occupy without parchment if the Crown refused to make grants of land....

Thomas Hart Benton (senator) Photo: Library of Congress Served as Democratic Senator from the state of Missouri from 1821-51. Thomas Hart Benton was a leading U.S. Senator and a national figure in the Jacksonian era. He was born near Hillsboro, North Carolina, on 14 March 1782. His father died in 1791 and his widowed mother moved the family to the Cumberland River Valley of Tennessee in 1801. As a young man, Benton helped farm, taught school, and studied law. After being licensed to practice law in 1806, Benton became state senator in 1809. During the War of 1812, he was made lieutenant colonel, and he served on the staff of Andrew Jackson. After Jackson's support of William Carroll in a duel with Benton's brother, Jesse, Benton moved to St. Louis. Benton associated with the established leadership of St. Louis and became editor of the St. Louis Enquirer in 1818. With the backing of conservative interests, he was elected U.S. Senator from Missouri in 1820. He rapidly became recognized nationally for his support of Jacksonian principles. Although Benton actively supported national programs, especially for the West, he sought to guard against any encroachment of federal power within a state. Over time, Benton came to see the Southern leadership as posing a great threat to national unity.

In 1815, he went to St. Louis, where he became editor of the Missouri Enquirer, established a thriving law practice, and won political prestige. He entered the U.S. Senate on Missouri's admission to the Union in 1821 and was four times reelected. A supporter from 1824 of Andrew Jackson, with whom he had been at odds, Benton was a power in the administrations of Jackson and Martin Van Buren. Benton also supported all legislation that aided settlers and favored the development of the West, including reduction in the price of government lands, suppression of land speculation, westward removal of the Native Americans, and internal improvements. He advocated government support of Western exploration, with which he was intimately connected through the expeditions of John Charles , who married one of his four daughters, Jessie Benton Benton had early come to favor the gradual abolition of slavery, and with the ascendancy of the proslavery Democrats he lost influence in the party. His antislavery sentiments ran counter to majority opinion in Missouri at that time, and with his opposition to the proslavery features of the Compromise of 1850 he was defeated for a sixth term. He returned to Congress as a U.S. Representative (1853-55) but after voting against the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854 he was again defeated for reelection.
