Summary: "Americanism Contrasted with Foreignism, Romanism, and Bogus Democracy" by William G. Brownlow is a sharp political treatise written in the mid-19th century. The author, who was also an editor and an influential voice in Tennessee politics, critiques the growing influence of Roman Catholicism and foreign elements in American democracy, arguing that they threaten the nation's civil and religious liberties. The work targets the tactics of political parties that seek to align with these foreign influences at the cost of Protestant values and American nationalism. The opening of the text sets a tone of urgency and foreboding, as Brownlow addresses "the young men of America," urging them to act in defense of their liberties during what he describes as a critical moment for the nation. He frames the rise of Romanism—a term he uses to denote Catholicism—alongside what he calls "Bogus Democracy," associating them with treachery and betrayal of American ideals. Brownlow insists that foreign influences and the Catholic Church are engaged in a conspiring effort to undermine the pillars of American society, calling for vigilance and action to protect the nation's soul from this perceived threat.
