Fighting For The Franchise: African American Disfranchisement In Charlottesville, Virginia, Thomas R. Seabrook
Fighting For The Franchise: African American Disfranchisement In Charlottesville, Virginia, Thomas R. Seabrook
Madison Historical Review
Around the turn of the twentieth century, white Southerners crossed the political aisle to disfranchise African American voters through a series of legislation at the state level. Though African Americans resisted these efforts to strip them of their citizenship rights, many historians believe that African Americans had been practically shut out of politics by 1900. Disfranchisement did not mean that African Americans stopped asserting their constitutional rights, however, as historians who trace African American organization and resistance have shown. In this article, I examine the response of African Americans in Charlottesville, Virginia, to disfranchisement and I consider the effect disfranchisement …
Is Humanitarian Aid Neutral? The American Ambulance Field Service And The American Red Cross, Laura Neis
Is Humanitarian Aid Neutral? The American Ambulance Field Service And The American Red Cross, Laura Neis
Madison Historical Review
The United States did not outwardly join WWI until April of 1917. However, in the nearly three years in which the U.S. was neutral, they provided medical support to the suffering. This act has been dismissed as humanitarian charity work, and therefore not breaking with neutrality agreements, but it was actually a hotly contested act of foreign policy, and different propaganda campaigns were used to change the minds of American citizens.
Two different groups of medical volunteers show how humanitarian aid shapes perspectives on war. The American Ambulance Field Service drove ambulances for the French army on the front line, …
Republican Manhood And The Disabled Revolutionary War Veteran In The Early American Republic, 1789 – 1797, Virgil Clark
Republican Manhood And The Disabled Revolutionary War Veteran In The Early American Republic, 1789 – 1797, Virgil Clark
Madison Historical Review
In the aftermath of the American Revolutionary War, several Disabled Continental Army soldiers scattered across the burgeoning Republic were driven by desperation to write letters, pleading with General George Washington for his support. The soldiers’ decision to draft these letters stemmed from their profound frustration and disillusionment with the post-Revolution American state. The soldiers' discontent resulted from the sense of neglect they experienced after the state rejected their petitions for a Disabled Veteran’s pension. As time passed and rent went unpaid, medical bills piled up, and the threat of vagrancy loomed over these men like a malevolent specter. Unable to …
Interwar Patriotism: From Military Bands To Marching Bands, 1920s And 1930s, Elise Eaton
Interwar Patriotism: From Military Bands To Marching Bands, 1920s And 1930s, Elise Eaton
Steeplechase: An ORCA Student Journal
High school bands have evolved greatly since the first band boom in the early 1920s. Beyond the performance responsibilities and commitments to football and sporting events, bands have their own cultural elements that only band members, band staffs, and families of band students truly understand. This thesis will demonstrate that high school band culture since the 1920s developed alongside the changing fortunes of the U.S. military. Accordingly, U.S. military history shaped the evolving culture of high school marching bands and other youth performing arts groups while these civilian youth groups in turn embedded and reinforced elements of U.S. militarism in …
Kankakee In Deindustrialization: An Oral History Approach, Rachel H. Shepard
Kankakee In Deindustrialization: An Oral History Approach, Rachel H. Shepard
ELAIA
The City of Kankakee was an industrialized city that prospered economically for decades. Throughout the late 1970s and 1980s, economic trends shifted for Kankakee and the surrounding communities. The major factories, such as Roper Corporation and A.O. Smith, migrated their source of production from Kankakee to other regions of the United States and abroad during the 1970s and 1980s. As a result, the declining industrial economic activity led to changing community perceptions. Kankakee is an example of the “Rust Belt” region, a region in the Midwestern and Northeastern States of the United States where declining industrial activity occurred throughout the …

Pathfinders, Progressives, And Boosters: The 1911 "Gulf-To-Great-Lakes-As-The-Crow-Flies" Automobile Adventure, Martin T. Olliff
Florida Historical Quarterly
At 10 a.m. on September 3, 1911, Dr. S. R. M. Kennedy, Frank L. Mayes, A. M. Avery, Jr., and F. C. Brent, Jr., left Pensacola for Chicago in Kennedy's Speedwell 50 touring car. Calling themselves the "Gulf-to-Great-Lakes-As-The-Crow-Flies" pathfinders, their ostensible mission was to represent Florida at the Fourth International Good Roads Congress. But their real goals were to add a Pensacola-to-Birmingham route description to the American Automobile Association's Blue Book (to complete the trail between the Great Lakes and the Gulf) and to promote Pensacola as a destination for midwestern tourists. At a time when road conditions rattled bones …

Captain Charles E. Hawkins, "The Key West Tragedy," And The "Unwritten Law," 1827-1830, James M. Denham
Florida Historical Quarterly
Once Spain transferred Florida to the United States in 1821, Americans moved to secure the sparsely settled island at the end of the Florida Keys. Key West's exposed position atop the Caribbean required enforcement of United States authority. Establishing a federal presence was essential to protecting its commercial interests in the Caribbean. In 1822 the island became home to the U. S. West India Squadron's four-year campaign against piracy. The scourge was all but wiped out but there were still challenges. Key West attracted mariners and interlopers from the West Indies. Florida's close proximity to Spain's Latin American colonies encouraged …
Amateur Minstrel Shows And Blackface Amusements At The University Of Florida In The Jim Crow Era, Myles Sullivan
Amateur Minstrel Shows And Blackface Amusements At The University Of Florida In The Jim Crow Era, Myles Sullivan
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the spring of 1914, the University of Florida's (UF) studentrun newspaper, The Florida Alligator, heralded "one of the biggest attractions of the spring season" with the front page headline "Heah Dey Kum! Dat Minstrel Show." As a theatrical performance style that had gained widespread popularity in the United States in the early 1800s, minstrel shows were often delivered with this imagined faux speech of rural African Americans. Its defining feature was culturally deemed white individuals "blacking up" their faces with burnt cork in visually cued racial caricatures acted out in music, song, and dance. Indeed, when subsequently reviewing the …

A New Territory: "By Attention And Kindness, All Repugnance May Be Overcome", Philip M. Smith
Florida Historical Quarterly
On July 10, 1821, Private Nathaniel Sherburne stood in formation for the change of flags ceremony in St. Augustine as Spanish la Florida officially became a United States territory. The sights of that day must have been exotic for the New Hampshire farm boy who ran away from home and joined the army. Private Sherburne was part of the 4th Regiment of Light Artillery of the United States Army, which had been under the command of recently retired Major General Andrew Jackson. Jackson himself was in Pensacola for a similar ceremony the following week. During the past decade, the United …

In its 99 published volumes the Fl01ida Historical Quarterly has encountered numerous challenges...inadequate funding in the early years, the Great Depression, World War II, scholarly transformations in historiographic interpretations, and innovations in publication formats. Nothing quite prepared the FHQ for the challenge of a global pandemic.
Diplomats, Spies, & Their Common Cause: American Initiative, Spanish Support, & The Revolutional War Along The Mississippi & Gulf Coast, Henry B. Motty
Diplomats, Spies, & Their Common Cause: American Initiative, Spanish Support, & The Revolutional War Along The Mississippi & Gulf Coast, Henry B. Motty
Florida Historical Quarterly
Within weeks of the Americans declaring independence in July of 1776, diplomatic exchanges between Philadelphia and Madrid yielded essential cooperation as Spain secretly rendered supplies to the revolutionaries via New Orleans. By 1778, France and the United States became allies with hopes of luring Spain to officially join the conflict. That same year, Spanish emissary Juan de Miralles arrived in Philadelphia where many Americans welcomed him, noting his "pleasant disposition, social grace, and ability to make friends." In a letter to George Washington, Miralles assured the general that Spanish officials in Havana received orders to "communicate them to the Honourable …

The History Of The Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge (Minwr): A Partnership Of Rockets And Wildlife, Charles Venuto

The Christmas season is associated with the creation of many lists such as gifts, groceries and holiday cards. But there is another list citizen scientists assemble this time of year as well. The National Audubon Society (NAS) Christmas Bird Count (CBC), originally established to counter what had turned into an annual Christmas day bird slaughter, began in 1900 and look place at 25 different sites, primarily in the northeast United States although California and the Midwest were also represented.
Invading Eden: Exotic Pets And Invasive Species In South Florida, Andrew Pemberton
Invading Eden: Exotic Pets And Invasive Species In South Florida, Andrew Pemberton
Florida Historical Quarterly
On July 8, 2019, South Floridians woke up to a headline describing the removal of a sixteen-foot-long Burmese python and fifty of its eggs from beneath a suburban home near the Everglades. This is a common spectacle in South Florida. Floridians, long accustomed to their scaly, cold-blooded co-habitants, have seen these types of headlines since the 1980s. With increasing frequency, non-indigenous species are entering the state's public eye. Perhaps more remarkable than these snakes' presence beneath Floridia homes is their welcomed presence in households across the country. However, this trend in pet-keeping poses the most risk to ecosystems in Florida, …
Seagrass-Roots Environmentalism: The Lee County Conservation Association, Chris Wilhelm
Seagrass-Roots Environmentalism: The Lee County Conservation Association, Chris Wilhelm
Florida Historical Quarterly
After World War II, Florida crafted a new identity: the Sunshine State. This concept was not solely based on Florida's hot weather and sunny skies although the relationship between sun and water was implicit in the new identity. Tourists enjoyed the sun on boats and beaches, retirees and snowbirds fled northern winters for new sunny coastal cities. The heat of Florida's sunshine was thus balanced by the state's coastal waters. The Sunshine State is a convenient slogan, but Florida is actually defined by its coast. Other states have more sunshine, but none in the continental U.S. have more coastline or …

A Movement For The Birds: Pelican Island And The Origins Of The First American Wildlife Refuge, Evan B. Jaynes
Florida Historical Quarterly
"Very well then, I So Declare It." This is supposedly what President Theodore Roosevelt said early in 1903 when he was informed that there was not any law that would prevent him from making Pelican Island a federally protected wildlife reserve. Shortly thereafter, on March 14, 1903, Roosevelt issued an executive order that established Pelican Island-a small and seemingly unremarkable piece of land off Florida's Atlantic-facing coast-as the nation's first wildlife sanctuary. Proclaiming that the island be "reserved and set apart for the use of the Department of Agriculture as a preserve and breeding ground for native birds," the action …

On October 12, 1519, during the early days of the Spanish conquest of what is today Mexico, an irate Diego Velazquez, Governor of Cuba, wrote to the young Charles V of Spain from the port of Santiago de Cuba. In his letter he complained that a vessel had arrived August 23rd of that year, secretly and illegally from Mexico, with a substantial cargo of gold and jewels. The vessel carried Captain Francisco de Montejo, who would one day be the Governor of Yucatan and Honduras, and Captain Alonso Hernandez Puerto Carrero. The vessel sailed under the expert guidance of the …

An Exiled Carolina Loyalist In British East Florida And The Bahama Islands, John Hairr
An Exiled Carolina Loyalist In British East Florida And The Bahama Islands, John Hairr
Florida Historical Quarterly
Colonel David Fanning was without question the most successful commander of Loyalist forces in the Carolinas during the Revolutionary War. Fanning never lost a battle in which he commanded and gained renown for being instrumental in the capture of Whig North Carolina Governor Thomas Burke. Fanning left the Carolinas when Charles Town, South Carolina, was evacuated, settling with his wife in British East Florida until they were forced to abandon their new home along with the rest of the British refugees when the province was returned to the Spanish government in the Treaty of Paris in 1783. After trying to …

John Grattan Gamble's Mother And Sisters: Antebellum Aristrocrats And Their Flight From Successful Women, John T. Foster
Florida Historical Quarterly
There were prominent women in Antebellum Richmond whose lives resemble women of today. Catherine Grattan Gamble and her daughter, Elizabeth Gamble Wirt, participated in their husbands' careers and sought places of equality with their spouses long before such behavior became common. Their lives are a dramatic departure from images of the Old South and the heritage claimed by relatives who became prominent in Middle Florida.
