Politics, Labor, And Rebellions Real And Imagined: Slaves, Free People Of Color, And Firearms In North Carolina, 1729-1865, Antwain K. Hunter
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
For much of North Carolina’s history its General Assembly sought to strike a balance between the undeniable utility of black people’s armed labor and the threat that gun-toting black people were thought to pose. Masters equipped their slaves with firearms much like many other tools and many citizens turned to the Assembly to undertake measures to ensure that this armed labor did not compromise white people’s safety or property. The state’s legislature dictated the terms under which masters could arm their slaves and while some slaveholders defiantly used armed African-descended laborers as they wished most white people believed that armed …

Searching For Their Real Home: Dependent Black Children In Indianapolis, 1910-1940, John D. Ramsbottom
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
Concerns about the future for young people, reflected in contemporary headlines, were equally prominent in Indianapolis a hundred years ago. Then, as now, children whose parents neglected or abandoned them posed a special problem. In the midst of rapid social change that seemed to threaten traditional family stability, a small corps of professionals and volunteers worked to provide a nurturing environment.

America's Pastime: Baseball's Effect On Morale During World War Ii, Preston Phillips
America's Pastime: Baseball's Effect On Morale During World War Ii, Preston Phillips
Undergraduate Research Conference
Baseball is a game of tradition. Baseball fans lineup outside of the gates prior to batting practice and wait to gain entrance. When they get inside, the smell of hot dogs and stadium mustard greets them. They proceed to their seats and await the first pitch and when that pitch is thrown, all cares of the world are thrown away for two plus hours. Walter Winchell, an American journalist and broadcaster once said that the ball park becomes an island of innocent excitement in a world of wild despair. This single statement will transform into the very lifeblood of …
Understanding The Motivations Of Freedom Summer Freedom School Teachers, Courtney Selle
Understanding The Motivations Of Freedom Summer Freedom School Teachers, Courtney Selle
Undergraduate Research Conference
Significant movements require serious motivations from those involved. During the Civil Rights Movement, those involved in Freedom Summer of 1964 risked their lives and comfort to advance the Movement. Freedom Summer Freedom School teachers had unique motivations; some motivations were shared amongst the teachers, while others were individual. Although it is difficult to fully understand the motivations of Freedom School teachers, this paper identifies three overarching motivations that were shared amongst the teachers: an understanding that African Americans in the South were denied equality in education, the belief that the curriculum of Freedom Schools would address this educational inequality, and …
Civil And Common Law: A Historical Analysis Of Colonial And Postcolonial Canada, Patrick S. Stroud
Civil And Common Law: A Historical Analysis Of Colonial And Postcolonial Canada, Patrick S. Stroud
Butler Journal of Undergraduate Research
Legal historians divide European law into two principal families: common law (British law) and civil law (continental European law). Common law judges favor cases; courts “discover” law on a case-by-case basis and those cases make precedents for future ruling. Civil law courts favor codes; courts compare cases to existing laws and those laws control judges’ rulings. The two rarely interact, save one prominent example: Canada. British common law supposedly superseded French legal traditions in colonial Canada. But is history so binary? Did British common law truly “conquer” French civil law? Through analysis of Canadian legal history, this article demonstrates how …
Digital Expressionism And Christopher Wheeldon’S Alice’S Adventures In Wonderland: What Contemporary Choreographers Can Learn From Early Twentieth-Century Modernism, Kelly Oden
Butler Journal of Undergraduate Research
How can classical ballet adapt to a world that is in an ever more rapid state of flux? By uncovering an example of the kind of interdisciplinary artistic collaboration that contributed to the thriving artistic environment of the early twentieth century, a model for artistic success emerges. By examining modernism and Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes in relation to Christopher Wheeldon’s groundbreaking 2011 ballet Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, a correlation between the success of the Ballets Russes and the success of Wheeldon is exposed. I argue that by applying the modernist practice of interdisciplinary interaction to his own productions, Wheeldon …
Surgery As A Science: The Intellectual And Practical Evolution Of European Surgery From The 16th To The 18th Century, Molly Nebiolo
Surgery As A Science: The Intellectual And Practical Evolution Of European Surgery From The 16th To The 18th Century, Molly Nebiolo
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
This thesis will highlight some of the major technological inventions in the field of surgery during this time range, but more importantly will utilize the scarce resources available to piece together why these technologies did advance and how they played a role in the professionalization of surgery as a whole. The resources currently available to determine the advances in surgical tools and techniques either lack written descriptions of their uses, and are just picture books, or are beyond my ability to use since they are in foreign languages. Not only this, but there are no written works already published that …
