20, 1820 – February 27, 1867) was an known for his influential magazine De Bow's

Review, who also served as superindendant of the U.S. Census from

1853 to 1855. He always spelled "De Bow" as two words. J.D.B. De

Bow was born on July 20, 1820 in Charleston, South Carolina, the second son of

Mary Bridget Norton and Garret De Bow. James' father, Garret, was born in New

York City, New York about 1775 to a Dutch-Huguenot father who immigrated to the

United States at an unknown date. His mother, Mary Bridget, was born into an

elite planter family from South Carolina. Her grandfather was Capt. John

Norton, an early settler on the Carolina Coast. Her father, William, was a

Revolutionary Soldier. A resident of New Orleans,

De Bow used his magazine to advocate the expansion of the Southern economy could become independent of the North. He warned constantly of the with the North, one in which the South was at a distinct

disadvantage. De Bow became nationally known for an editorial he penned about

the status of the territory obtained from the Mexican

Cession of 1848. He claimed that the federal Union could

collapse once the North's number of representatives exceeded those of the

Southern states in the United States House of

Representatives. Moreover, one additional free state at the time

would have tipped the balance in the United States Senate to the North,

which had the large majority of the population. De Bow hence proposed a

legislative compromise to guarantee Southern rights in a Northern-majority

Union. U.S. Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky took

up the cause and cemented together a five-part Compromise of 1850, which permitted the

admission of California into the Union as a free state. However,

Southerners were given a concession: a stronger Fugitive Slave Law, contrary to the Constitution. De Bow later opposed the

fugitive slave measure on the grounds that runaway slaves could likely gain

freedom in the North from sympathetic anti-slavery juries for reasons

including that slavery was unconstitutional and/or that no laws authorized

slavery (cf. jury nullification). On

January 2, 1861, De Bow joined fellow Fire-Eater Lieutenant Governor H. M. Hyams at

the Orleans Theatre in urging the Union. Some of the speeches were

delivered in French because of the Creole members of the audience.

Voters went to the polls five days later to choose delegates to a state

convention to consider secession. The secessionists prevailed by an

eight-to-five margin. Two days after that election, Louisiana proceeded to

seize the federal arsenal at Baton Rouge. Among

authors who contributed to De Bow's Review was the Southern

surgeon and medical writer Samuel A. Cartwright, who was an authority

on the establishment of sanitary conditions and also an advocate of the

pro-slavery argument. In 1866, he became the first president of the

proposed Tennessee and Pacific Railroad,

a business venture that he would not live to see fulfilled. Less than a year

later, De Bow died of peritonitis, which he contracted on a trip to

visit his brother in New Jersey
