Close On The Wind: An Environmental Military History Examining Wind’S Influence On The Early United States Navy, Scott J. Beehler
Close On The Wind: An Environmental Military History Examining Wind’S Influence On The Early United States Navy, Scott J. Beehler
Department of History: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Utilizing General Carl von Clausewitz’s theory of friction in combat, Close on the Wind examines wind’s historical influence on early United States naval warfare, specifically small scale engagements fought during the Quasi War, First Barbary War, and the War of 1812. To accomplish this, the thesis first engages in a scientific discussion of wind, concentrating on how it occurs and what forces dictate its velocity and direction. The examination goes on to also present the types of wind that period sailing vessels encountered, including global, regional, and local patterns, as well as how wind influenced the practice of sailing and …
Henry Wirz And The Tragedy Of Andersonville: A Question Of Responsibility, Albert Winkler
Henry Wirz And The Tragedy Of Andersonville: A Question Of Responsibility, Albert Winkler
Faculty Publications
Henry Wirz was the most controversial Swiss American. Born in Zurich, Wirz migrated to the United States and joined the Confederacy at the outbreak of the Civil War. He was assigned to oversee the military prison at Andersonville, Georgia, which had a very high death rate. Following the war, Wirz was arrested and tried for war crimes. The trial was a travesty of justice. Many of his supposed crimes were milder punishments than the Union inflicted on its own soldiers. The court allowed hearsay evidence, Wirz was no allowed to call key witnesses for his defense, and many leaders of …

James Madison’S Federalist No. 10 Considered In A Very Large State, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
James Madison’S Federalist No. 10 Considered In A Very Large State, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter Onuf’s essay in All Over the Map: The Origins of American Sectionalism measures the cost of diversity in constituencies: eventually geography tears a nation apart or supplies the preconditions for its destruction. James Madison’s Federalist No. 10 argues that large republics are possible, a thesis (obliquely) opposed to Onuf’s. Our Constitutional Logic investigates.

Table Annexed To Article: Resources Available To Constitution Drafters, Current To 1787, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
By the time that the text-writers turned to the final push to craft Constitution I they had, as resource, sixteen different proposals for a national organization representing states as constituents and twelve ratified state constitutions. By the time the federal convention opened for the business of crafting Constitution II, another five state constitutions had been adopted (with another four failed constitutions in circulation), for a grand total of seventeen constitutions on top of the previous 16 proposals, and, of course, one fully adopted and tested national form of organization, Constitution I, the Articles of Confederation.

Table Annexed To Article: A Survey Of The Federal Convention's Note-Takers, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Eleven of the fifty-five delegates that attended the Federal Convention took notes during the proceedings. These notes, along with Jackson’s official journal and available committee drafts, are assembled in Farrand’s Records of the Federal Convention of 1787. The best known are Major Wm. Jackson and James Madison, the convention’s official Secretary and its unofficial note-taker, respectively. The efforts of all twelve note-takers are surveyed by output.

The Significance Of As 8.08.207 And Marshall’S Mcculloch, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
To become a lawyer in Alaska study at an accredited law school is rendered (potentially) avoidable if a student can study the branches of the law as prescribed by the course of study adopted by the University of Alaska, by which paraphrase Our Constitutional Logic cites the reader to AS 8.08.207(c).

Table Annexed To Article: Slave_Owner Attendance In Twenty-Five Votes On Article Ii, Section 1 Based On Updated Attendance Table, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Our Constitutional Logic tables the attendance of Slave_Owner delegates in the twenty-five votes on Article II, Section 1 at the Philadelphia convention on August 24 and September 5 and 6, 1787; the information is drawn from Detailed Attendance Table Updating the Table Appearing in Farrand’s Records of the Federal Convention, May 25, 1787-September 17, 1787, 2 OCL 100, in which OCL updated the attendance data which was last surveyed in Farrand's Records of the Federal Convention of 1787, Vol. 3: 586-590.

Table Annexed To Article: Surveying Farrand's Ambiguous Elocutions Regarding His Delegate Attendance Table, Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
Max Farrand’s Delegate Attendance Table Appears in Volume 3 at 586-590; this is the final volume he produced in both his 1911 and 1937 editions of his Records of the Federal Convention. He did not update his table for the 1937 edition; more significantly, his table is marred by ambiguous elocutions such as “at least” or “probably.” Our Constitutional Logic calendars all such expressions in the table annexed. Readers may refer to the updated table OCL has produced at Detailed Attendance Table Updating Farrand’s Table Appearing in his Records of the Federal Convention, May 25, 1787-September 17, 1787, 2 OCL …

Madison’s Federalist No. 10 theorized that size wasn’t an issue when it came to constructing a large republic. Our Constitutional Logic investigates events as they devolved upon the admission of Alaska to the Union on January 3, 1959.

Seduced By The “Dark Turn”, S. Marianne Johnson
The Gettysburg Compiler: On the Front Lines of History
Last year, I attended a Civil War Conference that highlighted what has become known as the “Dark Turn of the Civil War.” Basically, the turn is a shift in focus from the shiny-bugles-and-gleaming-bayonets interpretation of the Civil War to revealing the ugly underside of the Civil War, emphasizing themes of death, destruction, and loss. At the time, I remember thinking, this is a good thing, Civil War history does tend to be overly romanticized as the glorious American tragedy. One panel that bothered me, however, featured a discussion on “Dark Tourism.” I had never heard of Dark Tourism, and I …

The Gettysburg Compiler: On the Front Lines of History
The story I am about to tell is entirely true. Several weeks ago, as I departed Musselman Library after a long night of intensive research, a sudden presence roused me from my intellectual exhaustion. I was chilled to the bone as they appeared before me: shadowy figures silhouetted against the dimly lit façade of our beloved administration building. Now, I had, of course, heard of the campus’ hauntings. Tales of the ghostly field hospital in Penn Hall’s basement, the spectral sentry watching from its cupola, and the Blue Boy of Stevens Hall are well known stories throughout our campus community …

The Gettysburg Compiler: On the Front Lines of History
Tucked away off the coast of central New Jersey on the small stretch of land called Long Beach Island is a little piece of Civil War history. It is here that a largely unknown monument highlights a figure so well known by those four hours away in the small Pennsylvania town of Gettysburg. I have been visiting Long Beach Island since I was young, and yet had no knowledge of this Civil War connection that had been staring me in the face until my mother enthusiastically shouted to me, “Brianna! Gettysburg!” As I climbed the sandy hill towards a monument …

The Gettysburg Compiler: On the Front Lines of History
Some people seek to leave a legacy. They want to be remembered by others for doing something great, whether it be good or evil. But not everyone is alike in this respect. Others want nothing more than to go quietly about their business. They do not want friends or strangers prying into their lives. They do not want their inner, personal thoughts to be read and judged by those around them. [excerpt]

Heather: In our last post, Bryan and I explored the unique challenges that the reenacting hobby poses to the interpretation and public understanding of the American Civil War. In it, we touched on just a few of the many motivations that inspire individuals to reenact. As we continue our Point/Counterpoint series below, we look to explore the relationship of the reenacting hobby with a particularly complex and problematic ideology–the Lost Cause. [excerpt]
