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
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.”

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.
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.

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.

"Some Satisfactory Way": Lincoln And Black Freedom In The District Of Columbia, Edna Greene Medford
Edna Greene Medford
On April 16, 1862, sixty-one-year-old Nicholas became a freeman. Prior to his emancipation, Nicholas had lived and labored as a slave in the nations capital, where freemen professed to honor the principles espoused in the Declaration of Independence. It would take congressional action and the president's concurrence to elevate Nicholas and his fellow African Americans from chattel to umankind. Even then, his worth and that of the more than 3,000 other men, women, and children who gained their freedom by the statute was measured in strictly economic terms.
