Lonely Vigils: Houses Of Refuge On Florida's East Coast, 1876-1915, Sandra Henderson Thurlow
Florida Historical Quarterly
Between 1875 and 1886, ten houses of refuge and a life-saving station were built at intervals along Florida’s east coast below St. Augustine. Their primary purpose was to aid shipwreck victims, but they provided strongholds in the wilderness as well. The stations, as they were called by the early settlers, joined four lighthouses to establish a governmental presence and a framework to which pioneer development clung.

"The Privations & Hardships Of A New Country": Southern Women And Southern Hospitality On The Florida Frontier, Anya Jabour
"The Privations & Hardships Of A New Country": Southern Women And Southern Hospitality On The Florida Frontier, Anya Jabour
Florida Historical Quarterly
In October 1826, Laura Wirt wrote to her cousin, Louisa Cabell Carrington, regarding her forthcoming marriage and move from her parents’ comfortable home in the Upper South to a lonely plantation in the newly-opened Florida territory. “I cannot endure the thought! The very prospect breaks my heart!” she exclaimed. 1 But, like many southern women, Laura found that her own preferences had little weight when set against her male relatives’ eagerness to achieve the fabled wealth of the Florida frontier. Laura’s father, U.S. Attorney General William Wirt, and her uncles, Robert and John Gamble of Richmond, Virginia, had invested in …
The Florida Diaries Of Daniel H. Wiggins, 1836-1841, David J. Coles
The Florida Diaries Of Daniel H. Wiggins, 1836-1841, David J. Coles
Florida Historical Quarterly
Since Frederick Jackson Turner delivered his seminal 1893 essay on the significance of the frontier in American history, scholars have delved into virtually every aspect of the western frontier experience. Unfortunately, historians have neglected many issues surrounding southern frontier life in the early nineteenth century. Studies of the Florida frontier during this period are particularly few in number.1 Recently, the work of several historians has heightened our appreciation of the importance of the frontier as part of Florida’s heritage. Other than several county and local histories, however, little new work has been written on the original north Florida panhandle frontier …

Harmon Murray: Black Desperado In Late Nineteenth-Century Florida, Billy Jaynes Chandler
Florida Historical Quarterly
North Florida was far from the Wild West, but for a time in the late nineteenth century it ceded little in the notoriety of its outlaws to that famous region. If Harmon Murray, leader of the “north Florida gang,” has not taken his place in history alongside Billy the Kid or Jesse James, it was hardly his fault. Though he was soon forgotten, at the time of his death in late summer 1891 Murray’s name was known throughout the state and beyond. The reasons for Murray’s quick rise to fame had much to do with his skill, courage, and sheer …

The 1676 Project: Black And White Together In The U.S.A., Danny Duncan Collum
The Journal of Social Encounters
America’s post-George Floyd racial reckoning has brought a new focus on the country’s history of enslavement, segregation and systemic racism. However, this reckoning has often failed to recognize that the roots of systemic racism lie in the need of the wealthy planters in colonial Virginia to divide the African and English indentured servants who constituted a majority threatening to elite power. Nor do contemporary versions of U.S. history always account for the persistent reoccurrence of class-based interracial movements, such as the late 19th century Populists, or their promise as a long-term solution to the country’s racial divides.

William Bartram's Travels In The Indian Nations, Charlotte M. Porter
William Bartram's Travels In The Indian Nations, Charlotte M. Porter
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1773, the famous American naturalist William Bartram returned to the southeast portion of what is now the United States. The region was a more dangerous place than he realized. American “patriots” from Georgia were making troublesome border raids into East Florida. Many of the English plantations were owned in absentia, and the lives of the resident managers were, as Bartram knew from personal experience, isolated. Indian groups far outnumbered white residents in the Floridas, and they were becoming increasingly hostile. With an estimated 4,500 warriors, the Lower Creeks seriously impeded any colonial presence in the East Florida interior. In …
Across The Border: Commodity Flow And Merchants In Spanish St. Augustine, James Cusick
Across The Border: Commodity Flow And Merchants In Spanish St. Augustine, James Cusick
Florida Historical Quarterly
Spanish Governor Zéspedes, writing in 1788 to a superior about his impressions of East Florida, decried the colony’s reliance on Havana as its sole source of supply. The majority of the colonists were far too impoverished, he wrote, to afford the high prices of goods shipped via Cuba. He continued: “[T]hat a poor immigrant at the end of one year, when he has made his first crop, or a Minorcan with a wife and four or five children who does not earn half a peso fuerte a day, should have to provide his family with goods bought from that place …
Apalachicola Aweigh: Shipping And Seamen At Florida's Premier Cotton Port, Lynn Willoughby
Apalachicola Aweigh: Shipping And Seamen At Florida's Premier Cotton Port, Lynn Willoughby
Florida Historical Quarterly
Apalachicola in the 1840s was Florida’s busiest port. It also was a town that cotton built. To its north lay the Apalachicola, Chipola, Flint, and Chattahoochee rivers which together comprised the longest riverine system east of the Mississippi. Along those waterways lay thousands of cotton fields, and from as far away as Columbus, Georgia, planters dispatched their crops in steamers and pole boats to the Gulf of Mexico by way of Apalachicola.
William Alexander Blount: Defender Of The Old South And Advocate Of A New South, Thomas Muir, Jr.
William Alexander Blount: Defender Of The Old South And Advocate Of A New South, Thomas Muir, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
William Alexander Blount, as a child, had experienced the frustrations of poverty and disorder resulting from the Civil War. While steeped in many of the values and traditions of the Old South, Blount was one of the new generation of southern leaders who, after the end of Reconstruction in 1877, strove to modernize the South through industrialization and closer cooperation with northern capitalists. His keen intellect and sharp legal mind served him well as a corporate lawyer for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad in Florida. Blount’s legal career in Pensacola spanned the Bourbon period, roughly from 1877 to 1900, when …
Focusing Presidential Clemency Decision-Making, Paul J. Larkin Jr.
Focusing Presidential Clemency Decision-Making, Paul J. Larkin Jr.
Buffalo Law Review
The Article II Pardon Clause grants the President authority to award clemency to any offender. The clause contains only two limitations. The President cannot excuse someone from responsibility for a state offense, nor can he prevent Congress from impeaching and removing a federal official. Otherwise, the President’s authority is plenary. The clause authorizes the President to grant clemency as he sees fit, but the clause does not tell him when he should feel that way.
Historically, Presidents have generally used their authority for legitimate reasons, such as freeing someone who was wrongfully convicted, who is suffering under an unduly onerous …

Lifting The Veil Of Mona Lisa: A Multifaceted Investigation Of The "Beyond A Reasonable Doubt" Standard, Zhuhao Wang, Eric Zhi
Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law
For a long period of time, the golden standard in judicial fact-finding of criminal cases in the United States and many other countries has been the “Beyond a Reasonable Doubt” (BARD) standard – every person accused of a crime is presumed to be innocent unless, and until, his or her guilt is established beyond a reasonable doubt. The BARD standard’s undergirding principle is one of error distribution, where wrongful conviction of the innocent is a much greater wrong than failed conviction of the guilty. This concept was famously expressed by the English jurist William Blackstone in 1760s: “It is better …
The Double-Edged Sword: Unsuccessful Versus Successful Religious Parenting And Transmission, Avanlee Peterson
The Double-Edged Sword: Unsuccessful Versus Successful Religious Parenting And Transmission, Avanlee Peterson
Intuition: The BYU Undergraduate Journal of Psychology
Religious participation can have many positive effects on children and adolescents, including improved health, academic, and social capabilities. Therefore, many parents are concerned by the decrease in religiosity in American society today. In response to this common concern, this literature review discusses how various types of religious parenting can improve parent-child religious transmission while maintaining good parent-child relationships and promoting healthy child development. Much of the research on parenting styles suggests that religious parenting is most successful when using an authoritative style of parenting (high structure, high warmth, high autonomy) rather than an authoritarian style (high structure, low warmth, low …
Stylistic Classification Of The English Vocabulary. Special Colloquial Vocabulary, Khayrulla Jumanazarov, Zokhid Mamaziyayev
Stylistic Classification Of The English Vocabulary. Special Colloquial Vocabulary, Khayrulla Jumanazarov, Zokhid Mamaziyayev
Mental Enlightenment Scientific-Methodological Journal
This scientific thesis deals with the special colloquial vocabulary. Colloquial words are always more emotionally colored that literary ones. The neutral stratum of words, as het term itself implies, has no degree of emotiveness, nor have they any distinctions in the sphere of usage. Both literary and colloquial words have their upper and lower ranges. The lower range of literary words approaches the neutral layer and has a markedly obvious tendency to pass into that layer. The same may be said of the upper range of the colloquial layer: it can very easily pass into the neutral layer.
Demography And The Political Destiny Of Florida During The Second Spanish Period, Abel Poitrineau
Demography And The Political Destiny Of Florida During The Second Spanish Period, Abel Poitrineau
Florida Historical Quarterly
The twenty-year period of British sovereignty of the Floridas came to an end September 3, 1783, when the treaty concluding the American Revolution was signed at Versailles, France. The Treaty of Paris, as it was known, gave the Spanish crown control of a large portion of North America. Spain retained sovereignty over the Louisiana Territory, and the Spanish flag once more flew over the Floridas as it had from 1565 to 1763. However, the restoration of Spanish rule in the Floridas, so important for the control of the Bahama Channel, was at best precarious. Spain’s military weakness and the financial …

John Ellis, King's Agent, And West Florida, Julius Groner
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the short though not uneventful life of the British colony of West Florida, major figures came and went with disruptive frequency. Three royal governors and two lieutenant governors headed the resident administration of the colony in eighteen years, but all of them enjoyed the administrative stability provided in London by the royal agent for West Florida, John Ellis. For a dozen years this distinguished scientist and modest bureaucrat presided over the parliamentary grant upon which West Florida depended and disbursed its funds in such a judicious manner as to restrain gubernatorial fiscal exuberance, maintain necessary public functions, and satisfy …
Gender And Counterterrorism: How The United States' Underestimation Of Women's Roles In Violent Extremism Threatens National Security, Brianna N. Bulski
Gender And Counterterrorism: How The United States' Underestimation Of Women's Roles In Violent Extremism Threatens National Security, Brianna N. Bulski
Loyola University Chicago International Law Review
Discourse surrounding conflict and terrorism is often confined by gendered binaries which conflate masculinity with violence and femininity with peace and passivity. The social adoption of these archetypes has encouraged policy makers and security officials to paint men as combatants or orchestrators of extremism, while women are thought of as mere collaterals to war. However, the number of women involved in extremist groups is rising both domestically and abroad. As the essentialization of femininity becomes increasingly dangerous, the exigency to reimagine national security initiatives grows. This comment argues that the United States has reached a critical juncture in its counterterrorism …
Troubling The Null Curriculum Through A Multiple-Perspectives Pedagogy: A Critical Dialogue Between Two Equity-Minded Teacher Educators, Rachel Endo, Deb Sheffer
Troubling The Null Curriculum Through A Multiple-Perspectives Pedagogy: A Critical Dialogue Between Two Equity-Minded Teacher Educators, Rachel Endo, Deb Sheffer
Journal of Educational Controversy
In this article, the authors explore the ways by which they, as equity-minded teacher educators, have introduced predominantly White pre-service teachers to the notion of a multiple-perspectives pedagogy as a vehicle to promote critical thinking and multicultural integration. The conceptual framework charts a new course for theorizing the various ideological challenges that arise when attempting to model a multiple-perspectives pedagogy to critique various aspects of the null curriculum in PK-12 and teacher education as it relates to integrating multicultural perspectives. Through critical reflection and dialogic interviews, the authors discuss how they have negotiated the various challenges and possibilities of implementing …
Derogations To Human Rights During A Global Pandemic: Unpacking Normative And Practical Challenges, Roman Girma Teshome
Derogations To Human Rights During A Global Pandemic: Unpacking Normative And Practical Challenges, Roman Girma Teshome
American University International Law Review
After the World Health Organization (WHO) characterized the COVID-19 outbreak as a “global pandemic,” States responded by taking more restrictive and urgent measures. These measures ranged from restrictions on public events to partial or total lockdowns, which restrict a plethora of human rights. Additionally, an unprecedented number of States declared a state of emergency to justify these measures; as of this writing, roughly two-thirds of States declared a state of emergency due to COVID-19 under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (“ICCPR”).
