| | Chapter Summaries of Kenneth Stampp's "America in 1857" |
 | | One factor behind this fear of northern Democrats was the abolitionism of the multitudes of northern immigrants attracted to the Democratic party because repulsed by Republican absorption of American party nativism. | | | An extant letter from Buchanan to Walker on October 22, 1857, states that Buchanan "rejoiced to learn … that the convention of Kansas [would] submit the constitution to the people." Secretary Cobb wrote to Moore, the vice-president of the Lecompton convention an "urgent and strong" letter urging the convention to seek voter approval. | | | The Democratic administration did not want the decisions of the convention legislators to be "objectionable to the free State Democrats in the Territory." Nevertheless, Buchanan and his cabinet decided to support Calhoun in opposition to Walker. |

| | Snow believes this strange clashed die combination is the responsibility of Frederick Eckfeldt, son of George Eckfeldt, the Foreman of the Mint. | | | The metal composition was changed from nearly pure Copper to a Copper-Nickel mixture that gave added strength and a lighter color, earning the coins the nickname "White Cents." To ensure widespread distribution, the Mint produced over 17,000,000 of the new Small Cents, nearly six times the production of Large Cents in the previous year. | | | 1857 saw the end of an era as the old, bulky Large Cents were replaced with a new, smaller One Cent piece designed by James Longacre (the "new" design was actually an old one, borrowed from the reverse of Christian Gobrecht's Silver Dollars of 1836-1839). |
