Life Of John Warwick Daniel, Ruth Lazenby
Life Of John Warwick Daniel, Ruth Lazenby
Honors Theses
John Warwick Daniel was born on the 5th of September, 1824, in Lynchburg, and died on the 29th of June, 1910. Only sixty-eight years of life, a short period when one measures the span of a lifetime and yet he crowded into these years so much that he has rightly come to be called soldier and orator, jurist and lawgiver, statesman and senator. As a soldier he was brave, loyal and devoted to duty, winning many honors for courage and gallantry. As an orator he was noted for his eloquence, charm and unsurpassed beauty of language, and it was perhaps …
Virginia's Attitude Toward The Compromise Of 1850, Anne T. Gordon
Virginia's Attitude Toward The Compromise Of 1850, Anne T. Gordon
Honors Theses
As with an individual, a great conflict develops character and causes expression of ideals, so in the life of a nation conflicts develop the people, and give us a knowledge of their ideals and principles. It is mainly with the latter aspect of one great conflict - the struggle over the Compromise of 1850 - that this paper will deal. In this short article an effort will be made to show the attitude of Virginia - one section, small in territorial expanse when compared with the whole, but large in influence, as she faced this problem on the solution of …
Indication Of The Attitude Of Virginia Colleges Toward The Institution Of Slavery, 1800-1860, Katherine Tyler
Indication Of The Attitude Of Virginia Colleges Toward The Institution Of Slavery, 1800-1860, Katherine Tyler
Honors Theses
It was natural that the Virginia college should concern themselves with the all-important subject of slavery in the sixty years' interval of the widespread discussion which cumulated in one of the most bitter and distressing struggles that the United States has ever experienced. For, had not Virginia always taken the foremost stand in any matter concerning the South's welfare, and was not her heartfelt anxiety representative of all her fellow states?
From Cape Town To Cairo, Leslie L. Jones
From Cape Town To Cairo, Leslie L. Jones
Honors Theses
Cecil Rhodes has been dead twenty-two years. The flesh of the man has long since become dust; his dreams are about to become realities... two slender streaks of shining steel form Cape Town to Cairo. For the red now cleaves the heart of Africa, north and south, from the Inner Sea to The Cape of Good Hope. A great splash of red up and down this vast continent where fifty years ago but little red was to be seen.
And this is the simple task I have set myself in the present paper: accounting for the red, this astonishing growth …
The Expulsion Of Sir John Harvey From Virginia, William Warner Moss
The Expulsion Of Sir John Harvey From Virginia, William Warner Moss
Honors Theses
Whe n King James began to fear the preaching of Sir Edwin Sanys and the meetings of the Virginia Company, believing that the seeds they sowed were too democratic, he felt sure that the dissolution or at least the royal control of the Companyw as a necessity. He therefore attempted to interfere in the election of the treasurer but failed. Enraged, he commanded Captain Nathaniel Butler to write a libel entitled "The Unmasking of Virginia", which held the Virginia Company responsible for all the evils in America.
This served him little better than his interference, so, in April 1623, he …
Mahone, The Boss, Celia Levinson
Mahone, The Boss, Celia Levinson
Honors Theses
It is no accident or chance smile of fortune when a man works doggedly and whole-heartedly with all the force of a dynamic spirit and sheer indomitable will toward one end, that he may wield the sceptre of power and bend the wills of other men to his. Whether or not the results of such control of power will amount to greatness depends upon the uses to which the weapon is put and upon the soul of the man. Power can be acquried, but true greatness never. True greatness emanates from within the spirit and cannot be spread over the …
Thomas W. Gilmer, Rebekah V. Lawson
Thomas W. Gilmer, Rebekah V. Lawson
Honors Theses
It often happens that the names of some men, who had a large part in shaping the past policies of our country, are not now current in the thoughts of the average student of history. It is left to biographical monographs of this nature to review the lives of these men. With this ever increasing group of names may be placed that of Thomas Walker Gilmer. He was influential in the affairs of his native state, Virginia, during the decade from 1830 to 1840. This was the period when Southern leaders really dominated national affairs and Virginia was not racking …

The Early Causes Of The Virginia-Maryland Boundary Controversy, 1627-1668., J. Taylor Ellyson
The Early Causes Of The Virginia-Maryland Boundary Controversy, 1627-1668., J. Taylor Ellyson
Honors Theses
The boundary disputes between Virginia and Maryland were due mainly to the haphazard way in which the King of England granted the land in the New World, but the lack of geographical knowledge, on the part of the commissioners of the colonies, and later of the states, aided much in furthering these disputes, which covered a period of about two hundred and fifty years (1632-1894), and were only ended by a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States.
This paper is not a history of these boundary controversies, but only that part of the subject, which led to …
