The purpose of this study is to analyze the political meanings of messages of ‘kindness to animals’ appearing in many domestic books written in the early 19th century America. This paper focuses on two of the most popular women writers, Lydia Maria Child and Catherine M. Sedgwick, and analyzes their family and local backgrounds in order to understand their political intentions. In a previous paper, I discussed that these authors offered various pieces of advice to children and parents regarding kindness to animals. I also found strong sentiments of abhorrence towards violence in their writings. In this paper, I investigate the cause of their hatred toward violence in light of the historical context. I discuss the following three points; firstly, an analysis of the historiography of the history of humanitarianism in order to contextualize the advocacy of animals. Secondly, I will examine the political circumstances of the time, such as the two revolutions and the party-conflict between the Federalists and the Republicans at the turn of the 18th-19th century. Through examining this, it is possible to find the cause of sentiments toward violence in the works of Sedgwick and Child. Finally, I will examine the messages of Sedgwick and Child, and I conclude that they not only used the rhetoric called anti-jacobinism, which prevailed among conservatives in the North of the U.S., but also created a new way of appealing the hatred sentiment toward violence by alerting animal matters.
