		Bushnell developed the ideologies expressed in works such as Discourses on the Slavery Question (1839) and Barbarism, the First Danger (1847), in the context of this shifting landscape and economic base.
		By contrast, the park is also discussed as a cure for “social ills.” (Jones 1990) This acknowledges the space as culturally created, but it does not examine the destructive aspect of its creation.
		(Bushnell 1869) However, two newspaper accounts in 1853, clarify that both the marginalized people living within the community and the middle class living just outside of it resisted the idea: the marginalized because their homes would be taken from them, and the middle classes because their property taxes would increase.
