The Southern Dissenting Clergy And The American Revolution, Cline Edwin Hall
The Southern Dissenting Clergy And The American Revolution, Cline Edwin Hall
Cline Edwin Hall
The purpose of this study was to determine the importance of the southern dissenting clergy in the American Revolution. Rapidly growing in numbers in the quarter century before the Revolution, these men began to take places of leadership in which they could actively influence their communities. Even though their sermons were important sources of whig ideology, the clergy had a natural tendency to steer away from political involvement. This reluctance, along with their location outside the political and religious establishment in the South, forced them into a position of moderation rather than militant leadership regarding the issues leading to the …
The Local Is Global: Broker For Human Rights “Florence Kitchelt, Connecticut Peace Activist And Feminist,” 1920-1961, Danelle L. Moon
The Local Is Global: Broker For Human Rights “Florence Kitchelt, Connecticut Peace Activist And Feminist,” 1920-1961, Danelle L. Moon
Danelle L. Moon
In this paper, I will explore the role of local peace activist and feminist, Florence Ledyard Kitchelt (1874-1961) in supporting social justice, equality, and world peace. In 1924 Kitchelt accepted a paid position with the Connecticut League of Nation’s Association (CLNA), and for nearly twenty years she served as secretary and director of the organization. Working through the CLNA she canvassed the state promoting peace education and to building support for the League of Nations and the World Court. In 1925 she traveled to Geneva to study the League of Nations and attended the Assembly. Between the wars she worked …

Fear And Projection As Root Causes Of War, And The Archetypal Energies "Trust" And "Peace" As Antidotes, Carroy U. Ferguson
Fear And Projection As Root Causes Of War, And The Archetypal Energies "Trust" And "Peace" As Antidotes, Carroy U. Ferguson
Carroy U "Cuf" Ferguson, Ph.D.
I want to use this opportunity to discuss a phenomenon that continues to plague the human experience. It is called the game of war. War is perhaps the deadliest game that humanity has created. The conflict itself represents what appears to be opposing views about the way things should be. Each side believes that it is right and that its actions are justified. Each side therefore seeks to impose its views on the other or to defend its views against the other. Each side fears the other as an enemy and each side projects its fears onto its perceived “enemy.”

Histories Of Order And Empires, John Bowes
Histories Of Order And Empires, John Bowes
John P. Bowes
This is, at first glance, an odd pairing of books. One covers several centuries of Comanche history on the southern plains and the other focuses on the post-Revolution Ohio Valley. Pekka Hämäläinen explores a variety of anthropological and ethnohistorical sources to produce a wide-ranging analysis of Comanche internal and external life. David Andrew Nichols surveys the writings and records of citizens and politicians to bring more attention to the connections between national politics and local power struggles in the early American republic. Despite these apparent differences, however, both of these works have similar questions at their respective cores. Perhaps most …
The Marian Lawrence Peabody Diary: Digital Publication, Margaret Lowe
The Marian Lawrence Peabody Diary: Digital Publication, Margaret Lowe
Margaret Lowe
Appointed editor of the Marian Lawrence Peabody Diary (1878-1968) by the Massachusetts Historical Society, a Summer Grant would allow me to prepare the diary for digital publication. While I have completed extensive work for the printed edition, the MHS recently decided to co-publish the diary with a premier digital imprint (most likely the University of Virginia). As digital editor, I will supervise conversion to web format, write a new introduction, glosses and annotation, conduct archival research and collate ancillary materials, particularly Peabody's artwork. Digital publication will substantially expand the scope and length of the manuscript and allow for marketing to …

Restoring The Chain Of Friendship: British Policy And The Indians Of The Great Lakes, 1783-1815, John Bowes
Restoring The Chain Of Friendship: British Policy And The Indians Of The Great Lakes, 1783-1815, John Bowes
John P. Bowes
Over the past three decades scholars have examined the history of the Great Lakes region in the period covered by Timothy D. Willig in Restoring the Chain of friendship. Some of the most notable products of those efforts, including Colin Calloway's Crown and Calumet (1987), Richard White's The Middle Ground (1991), and Alan Taylor's The Divided Ground (2006), have laid an important foundation for our understanding of native peoples in this region and their negotiations with British and American policies and officials in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Willig acknowledges the contributions of these and other scholars but …

Intensified Regulatory Scrutiny And Bank Distress In New York City During The Great Depression,” With Patrick Van Horn, Gary Richardson
Intensified Regulatory Scrutiny And Bank Distress In New York City During The Great Depression,” With Patrick Van Horn, Gary Richardson
Gary Richardson
Bank distress peaked in New York City, at the center of the United States money market, in July and August 1931, when the banking crisis peaked in Germany and before Britain abandoned the gold standard. This article tests competing theories about the causes of New York’s banking crisis. The cause appears to have been intensified regulatory scrutiny, which was a delayed reaction to the failure of the Bank of United States, rather than the exposure of money center banks to events overseas.
Frock Coat And Flag: Union Soldier Markers In Central Maine, Kimberly Sawtelle
Frock Coat And Flag: Union Soldier Markers In Central Maine, Kimberly Sawtelle
Kimberly J. Sawtelle
The Frock Coat and Flag motif of gravestone is a short-lived memorial theme borne from a compressed period of American history. The horrors, tragedy, and impact of the U.S. Civil War on American civilians and a lack of a comprehensive plan by the U.S. Congress to provide means or methods to bury and mark the graves of soldiers who died in service contributed to the manifestation of a portrait-style grave marker used by families in a relatively compact geographic region of central Maine between 1861 and 1864.
Environmental History Of The Duwamish River, Jonathan Betz-Zall
Environmental History Of The Duwamish River, Jonathan Betz-Zall
Jonathan Betz-Zall
The recent history of the Duwamish River in Seattle, Washington, demonstrates a typical pattern of racism and class discrimination in land use policy. Historical images document the changes in land use as European-Americans took over the area and concentrated industrial activities there. GIS analysis clearly portrays the concentration of toxic sites in areas populated by poor people and people of color. Hope for future cleanups rests on community mobilization.

Rise And Shine: An Autobiographical Sketch Relating The Life And Times Of Rural Kentucky During The 1940s, Jewell E. Florea, Lee J. Florea
Lee J Florea, PhD, P.G.
The community of Poplarville, in the beautiful hills along the edge of the Cumberland Plateau in southeast Kentucky, was the home of my youth in the 1940’s. To me, this region remains God’s country and a place where one can appreciate Nature at its finest. For generations, my family and the families of our neighbors lived simple lives and learned to harness Nature’s abundance from the fields, forests, and streams. During the day, songbirds and wildflowers enriched our senses. During the night, stars blazed in the sky. Though our lives were tied to the seasons, the 1940’s were the beginning …

Full Faith And Credit In The Early Congress, Stephen E. Sachs
Full Faith And Credit In The Early Congress, Stephen E. Sachs
Stephen E. Sachs
After more than 200 years, the Full Faith and Credit Clause remains poorly understood. The Clause first issues a self-executing command (that "Full Faith and Credit shall be given"), and then empowers Congress to prescribe the manner of proof and the "Effect" of state records in other states. But if states must accord each other full faith and credit-and if nothing could be more than full-then what "Effect" could Congress give state records that they wouldn't have already? And conversely, how could Congress in any way reduce or alter the faith and credit that is due? This Article seeks to …

Filthy Cellars And Healthy Pets: Relationships Between Public Health, Pets And Veterinarians In Cincinnati Prior To World War I, Kelly Wenig
Kelly Wenig
In 1868, Board of Health officials in the city of Cincinnati declared that all animals had to be removed from the basements of city residences. In his report on the state of the city, health officer William C. Clendenin commented that “[t]he extent to which cellars are used throughout the city as depositories for rubbish and filth is truly surprising; --many respectable people [keep] geese, chickens, dogs, and even calves in their cellars…Filthy cellars, especially when they are very damp, are a very certain cause of sickness.”1 For most of the nineteenth century, cows, chickens, sheep, dogs and cats were …
"Our Chief Rival And Greatest Friend": The Wku-Murray Athletic Rivalry, Lynn E. Niedermeier
"Our Chief Rival And Greatest Friend": The Wku-Murray Athletic Rivalry, Lynn E. Niedermeier
Lynn E. Niedermeier
Since their first football game in 1931 and their first men's basketball game in 1932, WKU and Murray State University have enjoyed a natural, spirited, and at times bitter athletic rivalry. For most of five decades, the schools met in the final game of their football seasons, and in basketball they regularly clashed in Ohio Valley Conference play. Anytime the day of "the Western-Murray game" approached, particularly in the 1950s, administrators struggled to maintain order on their campuses in the face of student pranks, graffiti attacks and other extreme expressions of school loyalty.

Through Adversity, It Became Strong: The Establishment Of The Oss, The Opposition It Faced, And Its Overall Success, Olivia Blessing
Olivia L Blessing
Fulfillment of the United States’ need for intelligence research and analysis during World War II came through William Donovan’s leadership of the Coordinator of Information (COI) and its offspring, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), despite the early problems both agencies faced. Donovan and the OSS would later play a major part in the Allies’ victory over Axis forces. By overcoming the bureaucratic and procedural issues at home and abroad, The Office of Strategic Services firmly established itself as a necessary force in the world of information during the war against the Axis.
Enduring Nations: Native Americans In The Midwest, John Bowes
Enduring Nations: Native Americans In The Midwest, John Bowes
John P. Bowes
Enduring Nations is a collection that encompasses the work of twelve different scholars to highlight the ways in which the Native peoples of the states that once com- prised the Old Northwest Territory played critical roles in the history of the region, adapted to their changing world through successive waves of European and American colonialism, and persisted to the present-day. As David Edmunds notes in his introduction, just over 17 percent of all Native Americans currently reside within the states of the Great Lakes region. The contributors to this volume use a number of different historical events, individuals, and perspectives …
