Violence and Justice in Frontier Los Angeles
#oah16_L2
Presenter: John Mack Faragher, Howard R. Lamar Professor of
History & American Studies and director of the Howard R. Lamar
Center, Yale University
Nineteenth-century Los Angeles was fashioned not once but twice
by violent conquest and occupation: conceived in an assault on
native homelands by men marching under the banner of heaven,
then torn asunder by invaders pursuing their “manifest destiny to
overspread the continent.” With its diverse mix of peoples linked in
relations of dominance and subordination, with structures of order
so weak and ineffective, even the most enlightened men came to
rely on mob rule and lynch law. What were the possibilities for order
and justice in such a place?
