This Crying Enormity: Impressment As A Factor In Anglo-American Foreign Relations, David Scott Thompson
This Crying Enormity: Impressment As A Factor In Anglo-American Foreign Relations, David Scott Thompson
Dissertations and Theses
As an issue affecting the foreign relations of the United States and Britain, impressment has been given varying emphasis by different authors. This thesis is first a chronological outline of the events and correspondence that trace the subject. Beyond this basic delineation I will consider exactly how important impressment was to the two countries. James F. Zimmerman, in Impressment of American Seamen, posits that impressment was of paramount significance while other authors have attempted to down grade it into a status of utter inconsequence. This paper will show that the actual influence of impressment varied from one time, one set …
The Times, Trial, And Execution Of David Mclane: The Story Of An American Spying In Canada For The French In 1796-1797, Mark Allen Thorburn
The Times, Trial, And Execution Of David Mclane: The Story Of An American Spying In Canada For The French In 1796-1797, Mark Allen Thorburn
Dissertations and Theses
The thesis primarily examines the 1797 trial of David McLane in Quebec City for spying, the steps taken by the British authorities to ensure a conviction, and McLane's activities in 1796 and 1797 in Vermont and Lower Canada on behalf of the French Minister to the United States, Pierre Adet. McLane did not receive a fair trial because the colonial administration in Lower Canada so thoroughly manipulated the legal system that a guilty verdict was assured. But, ironically, McLane was a guilty man, having been hired by Adet to find sympathizers who would help instigate a rebellion in the colony; …
The Soldiers Of Spain's California Army, 1769-1821, Barrie Earl Malcolm
The Soldiers Of Spain's California Army, 1769-1821, Barrie Earl Malcolm
Dissertations and Theses
Spanish authorities used two agencies to occupy and control California as a royal province from 1769 to 1821: the church and the army. While the story of the missions and the missionaries has been thoroughly chronicled, little attention has been focused on the men who comprised Spain's military forces. This thesis examines the experience of the royal soldier in California to determine his significance in the Golden State's Spanish colonial era. The journals, diaries, and correspondence of the soldiers, missionaries, explorers, traders, and foreign rivals who visited or occupied the province comprise a major part' of the source material. The …
Unadorned By Silence: Rereading Obedience In The Writing Of Perpetua, Dhuoda, And Hildegard Of Bingen, Rebecca Anne Walker
Unadorned By Silence: Rereading Obedience In The Writing Of Perpetua, Dhuoda, And Hildegard Of Bingen, Rebecca Anne Walker
Dissertations and Theses
In her fourth letter to Abelard, Heloise asks the question, "Oh what will become of us obedient ones?" The question presents a paradox. By putting her question in writing, Heloise violates the code of silence imposed on medieval women. The medieval church and the literate aristocracy agreed with Sophocles and Aristotle: silence is the adornment of women. Gender roles in medieval society were unambiguous. Men, by nature, belonged in the public, political arena where they directed the affairs of the world, in part, by thinking, speaking, and writing. Obedient to male authority, a woman's natural place was in the private, …
Anti-Bolshevism And The Advent Of Mussolini And Hitler: Anglo-American Diplomatic Perceptions, 1922-1933, Lisa Kay Walker
Anti-Bolshevism And The Advent Of Mussolini And Hitler: Anglo-American Diplomatic Perceptions, 1922-1933, Lisa Kay Walker
Dissertations and Theses
The history of World War II has led many Americans to view Benito Mussolini's Fascist Italy and Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany as European variants of a single Fascist ideology. However, in the early years of the Mussolini and Hitler regimes, the conceptual category of international Fascism was by not so well-established, particularly where the Nazis were concerned. American and British diplomats stationed in Germany in the early 1930s only occasionally interpreted the rising Nazi party as an offshoot of Fascism, but frequently referred to it as a possible form of or precursor of Bolshevism in Germany. Published and unpublished American …
William Smith Clark: A Study In Education, Christianity, And American-Japanese Cooperation In The Nineteenth Century, Brett L. Walker
William Smith Clark: A Study In Education, Christianity, And American-Japanese Cooperation In The Nineteenth Century, Brett L. Walker
Dissertations and Theses
In March, 1990, I was hired to teach English in Japan at a small, private academy in Chitose, Hokkaido. The school was called the Academy of Clark's Spirit. My first day at work I was asked by my boss, Sato Masako: "So Mr. Walker, of course you know who Dr. Clark is?" I told Mr. Sato that I was sorry, but that I did not. "You said in your resume that you are a history student? We named this school after him. He's one of the most important people in Hokkaido's history," he said, looking disappointed. Mr. Sato explained that …
Lola G. Baldwin And The Professionalization Of Women's Police Work, 1905-1922, Gloria Elizabeth Myers
Lola G. Baldwin And The Professionalization Of Women's Police Work, 1905-1922, Gloria Elizabeth Myers
Dissertations and Theses
This thesis traces the emergence of the American policewomen's movement through the career of Portland, Oregon's Lola Greene Baldwin, the first such officer hired by a municipality. It recounts the conditions which marked Baldwin's transition from a volunteer moral purity worker to a professional urban vice detective. The thesis connects Baldwin and her new profession to the Progressive era's social hygiene impulse. It considers how government absorption of the social hygiene agenda influenced the enforcement attitudes and methods of the early policewoman. Further, this work looks at the way Baldwin functioned within the bureaucracies and political structures of her environment. …
The Intellectual Grounding Of The San Francisco Committee Of Vigilance Of 1851, Jon Jeffrey Walker
The Intellectual Grounding Of The San Francisco Committee Of Vigilance Of 1851, Jon Jeffrey Walker
Dissertations and Theses
Vigilantism has a long history in the United States stretching back to the Regulator movement in South Carolina in 1767. These extralegal movements are distinguished from spontaneous and ephemeral mob activity by their regular organization and limited life-span. The San Francisco Committee of Vigilance of 1856 was the largest vigilante movement in American history. After a summer of vigilantism that included four hangings, the committee turned to politics and formed the People’s Party which dominated San Francisco's city government for the next decade. The 1856 committee is generally considered the great exemplar of American vigilantism and has received considerable attention …
