The Free Press Crisis of 1800
Thomas Cooper's Trial for Seditious Libel
The far-reaching US Sedition Act of 1798 was introduced by Federalists to suppress Republican support of French revolutionaries and imposed fines and imprisonment. The trial of Thomas Cooper in particular became an important showcase for debating the dangers and limits of the new law. Cooper's trial has now been rescued from long neglect. While most modern students of the Sedition Act regard it as an extreme measure motivated by partisan malice, this offers a more nuanced view that weighs all the arguments and considers the position of each side in historical and legal context.
