		In late 1840, Nott wrote to encourage the then-governor that perhaps his upcoming State of the State address could include "one sentence" in support of the cause.
		As he was with the teetotalers, so was Nott also with the abolitionists—he despised the radical tactics espoused by men like Horace Greeley and Wendell Phillips, and went through a period of favoring various and hopeful compromises.
		For many years he spoke favorably of an effort to recolonize slaves to Africa; other proponents of this step included John W. Taylor, a Union alumnus who became Speaker of the House of Representatives and was the first congressman to speak against slavery on the House floor, and the budding Illinois politician Abraham Lincoln.

	Tocqueville and the American Experiment (Detailed Description)
		It is especially interesting to realize that as Professor Cook describes Tocqueville’s journey and illustrates Tocqueville’s insights with examples from his own small town in upstate New York, that many of those insights were gathered in the same district in which Professor Cook ran for Congress.
		Tocqueville spent several weeks in that area, including significant time as the guest in the Canandaigua, New York home of a man named John Canfield Spencer, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives, held two Cabinet offices in the presidential administration of John Tyler, and was a nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court.
		Spencer was instrumental in the American publication of Democracy in America—also contributing an introduction and some corrective footnotes—but his greatest contribution may well have been in the long conversations he had with Tocqueville.

		On board, Spencer soon became the center of attention, flaunting ship's rules, bribing his fellow youths with tobacco and liquor, and spreading his fantastic ambition, which was to become a pirate and freebooter, roaming the seas of the world in search of adventure.
