Memorialization Of J. Marion Sims In Columbia, South Carolina, Nicole Chandonnet

Senior Theses

The Heritage Act in South Carolina prevents the General Assembly from changing historic names of buildings and removing war memorials from the statehouse grounds without a supermajority. This highly controversial bill prohibits altering the landscape of the state and ensures a permanent place for white supremacy. The Repeal the Heritage Act coalition formed in 2020 to challenge this legislation, and this thesis examines one of its most recent targets: the memorialization of J. Marion Sims in Columbia. To this end, this thesis studies the South Carolina Medical Association’s Journal from 1910-1940 to study the legacy of Sims and why he …

John Holladay Latané And American Diplomatic History In The Era Of The Lost Cause, Scott Dranginis

Senior Theses

This thesis examines the impact of the Lost Cause on the writings and ideas of John Holladay Latané, an American historian of foreign policy who was born in Staunton, Virginia in 1869, and died in 1932. Latané had ties to several prominent southern individuals and institutions throughout his life, such as Captain William Latané (his uncle) and Johns Hopkins University, which he both attended (both as an undergraduate and graduate student) and taught at. With this background in mind, a study of Latané’s stances reveals how the Lost Cause ideology intersected with analysis of foreign policy in the early twentieth …

Anti-Anarchist Legislation And The Road To The 1919 Red Hysteria, Evan Crumb

College Honors Program

In my thesis, I connect anti-anarchist legislation from the early 1900s with the excesses of the 1919 Red Scare. I tie the actions of anarchist leaders Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman to legislative responses, which were then weaponized after the hysteria of the Russian Revolution culminating in the deportations of 249 Russian “radicals” on the Soviet Ark. I find that the Supreme Court’s legal interpretation of the 1903 Immigration Act’s anti-anarchist provision in Turner v. Williams (1904), and the 1902 Criminal Anarchy Act in Gitlow v. New York (1925) were rational—understandable—within their legal and social context.

My legal history bridges …

Ordinary Power: Frontier Sentimentalism And Cultural Perceptions Of Gender In The Nineteenth-Century West, Erin Elizabeth Hastings

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis will examine nineteenth-century women and their primary role in the cultural formation of frontier sentimentalism. White, middle class women primarily moved west with their husbands and families, initially to the Midwest in the early nineteenth century, and were continuing to settle in the Great Plains and further west by the end of the century. The first generation of women who migrated west were the pioneers of frontier sentimentalism, but it prevailed in successive generations of westering women. This thesis will argue that in the formation of their own form of sentimentalism, nineteenth-century women were at the heart of …

"Tequesta 1949, Annual Of The Historical Association Of Southern Florida", Florida Historical Society

Florida Historical Quarterly

The 1949 issue of Tequesta, the annual of the Historical Association of Southern Florida, which appeared while the last number of this QUARTERLY was in press, is the ninth of the series; and, as usual, contains a number of interesting historical articles relating to that region. Most of the papers were read at the program meetings of the Association and at the annual meeting of the Florida Historical Society last year when we were guests of that organization. The publication of these papers, year by year, makes a permanent addition to the recorded history of South Florida; a history which, …

Northern Plans For The Economic Invasion Of Florida, 1862-1865, Robert L. Clarke

Florida Historical Quarterly

Almost with the beginning of the fratricidal conflict of 1861-1865 far-seeing politicians and interested economic groups from the North began an economic invasion of the South. First, a Confiscation Act made all property used in support of the rebellion subject to seizure by the federal government. Later in 1861, despite Abraham Lincoln’s questioning of its constitutionality, Congress passed a second Confiscation Act which made the property of all Confederate officials subject to immediate confiscation by Union officials.

An Archeologist At Fort Gadsden, John W. Griffin

Florida Historical Quarterly

While the search for documentary evidence and the writing of articles and monographs on the history of Florida finds continued and increasing interest, the locations in Florida at which historic events occurred often lie neglected and all but forgotten. Such was the case of Fort Gadsden, a monument to the War of 1812 and to Andrew Jackson’s military forays into Spanish Florida. Recently, however, the United States Forest Service became interested in preserving and marking this structure as a historic site, and asked for the cooperation of the Florida Park Service in undertaking the background study necessary in such a …

Filibustering With The “Dauntless”, Richard V. Rickenbach

Florida Historical Quarterly

Through the indefatigable efforts of Jose A. Huau and Alphonso Fritot, Jacksonville was an active center of filibustering to Cuba in the years 1895-98. Huau was important for his local influence, and his store on the corner of Bay and Main streets served as the clearing house for negotiations of the filibusterers. It seems now that it would have been all but impossible for the revolutionaries to be successful had they not had the aid of Fritot, for he was the joint agent of all the railroads running into Jacksonville. 1 He had the power of being able to secure …
