"For Men And Measures" : The Life And Legacy Of Civil Rights Pioneer J.R. Clifford, Connie Park Rice
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
In an era historian Rayford W. Logan described as “the nadir of black history,” African Americans confronted growing discrimination, disfranchisement, segregation, and frequent acts of violence, including lynching in the decades before and after 1900. It was an era in which a nation, and its people, violated the basic principles of American democracy. Yet despite the difficulties facing black Americans in those decades, J.R. Clifford, West Virginia’s first black editor and practicing attorney, made significant strides in raising the condition and status of not only black West Virginians, but African Americans across the nation, as a result of his quest …

Revelations From "Cheesecake Manor": Agatha Christie, Detective Fiction, And Interwar England, Carron Stewart Fillingim
Revelations From "Cheesecake Manor": Agatha Christie, Detective Fiction, And Interwar England, Carron Stewart Fillingim
LSU Master's Theses
For too long standard interwar histories have portrayed the interwar years as a period marked by failure, instability, depression, and volatility. Instead, rising living standards, the narrowing of socioeconomic disparities, expanded avenues of social welfare, increased leisure time, and mass consumerism resulted in an altogether peaceful, healthier, stable, and increasingly affluent England. Out of these rising economic improvements emerged forms of mass entertainment, including popular fiction. Cheaper paper and printing methods, rising literacy, faster distribution methods, new forms of advertising, and the expansion of public libraries led to the creation of a mass readership across England. For the first time, …
Reclaiming Martyrdom: Augustine's Reconstruction Of Martyrdom In Late Antique North Africa, Collin S. Garbarino
Reclaiming Martyrdom: Augustine's Reconstruction Of Martyrdom In Late Antique North Africa, Collin S. Garbarino
LSU Master's Theses
The cult of martyrs existed throughout the Mediterranean world in late antiquity, but local communities venerated the martyrs in their own ways and for their own reasons. During the fourth and fifth centuries, two factions of Christianity existed in North Africa. Catholicism and Donatism competed for the souls of North African Christians, and this competition influenced the development of the cult of martyrs in that region. The sermons on the martyrs by Augustine of Hippo (354-430) illuminate the milieu of North African Christianity's cult of martyrs and demonstrate that Augustine viewed "possessing" the martyrs as a key component in overcoming …
Nature, Nurture, Mythology: A Cultural History Of Dutch Orangism During The First Stadholderless Era, 1650-1672, Greg Alan Beaman
Nature, Nurture, Mythology: A Cultural History Of Dutch Orangism During The First Stadholderless Era, 1650-1672, Greg Alan Beaman
LSU Master's Theses
Through its military and political service to the United Provinces of the Netherlands during the course of the Dutch struggle for independence from Spain, the house of Orange came to occupy a special place in Dutch culture. The image of the house of Orange in Dutch political culture followed a trajectory of cultural assimilation from the sixteenth century to the early eighteenth century, whereby Orange's continued service linked it inextricably to certain aspects of Dutch culture. Having granted the house of Orange legitimacy as political leaders, the Dutch people went about incorporating Orange into the heart of their cultural spirit. …
Emigration To Liberia From The Chattahoochee Valley Of Georgia And Alabama, 1853-1903, Matthew F. Mcdaniel
Emigration To Liberia From The Chattahoochee Valley Of Georgia And Alabama, 1853-1903, Matthew F. Mcdaniel
LSU Master's Theses
Between 1853 and 1903, approximately five hundred African-Americans left the Chattahoochee Valley of Georgia and Alabama to start new lives in the West African republic of Liberia. Most of the emigrants came from Columbus, Georgia, and Eufaula, Alabama, and departed for Liberia during the uncertainty of the post-Civil War years of 1867 and 1868. Most sought safety and escape from a still intact white supremacist society. The ready availability of land in Liberia also promised greater opportunities for prosperity there than in the South. Black nationalism and evangelical zeal motivated others. Liberia would be their “own†country and afford an …

French Influence Overseas: The Rise And Fall Of Colonial Indochina, Julia Alayne Grenier Burlette
LSU Master's Theses
This thesis concerns colonial French Indochina, specifically the area known today as Vietnam. Located south of China and east of India on the southeastern-most peninsula of the Asian continent, Indochina comprises the modern-day countries of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. After European contact, the future country of Vietnam was divided into three main provinces: Tonkin in the north, Annam in the center, and Cochinchina in the south. After their establishment in the Southeast Asian country in the mid-nineteenth century, the French sought to improve existing, and to build new infrastructure to increase the productive capacity of the colony. The more efficient …
Political Conspiracy In Napoleonic France: The Malet Affair, Kelly Diane Whittaker
Political Conspiracy In Napoleonic France: The Malet Affair, Kelly Diane Whittaker
LSU Master's Theses
The French Revolution ushered in a period of political unrest in France which appeared never-ending, even when a seemingly stable government rose to power. After a series of failed Republican governments, Napoleon Bonaparte seized control on 18 Brumaire VIII, promising to uphold the revolutionary ideals that had permeated the nation. As time passed, however, it became clear that he aimed at gathering all political power for himself. With his consular and imperial regimes accepted by French citizens, Napoleon effectively returned the country to autocratic rule. Needing talented officials to serve in his military, ministries, and prefectures, Napoleon enlisted the services …
"Fame's Eternal Camping Ground": Louisiana And Virginia Civil War Cemeteries, Leanna Deveres Smith
"Fame's Eternal Camping Ground": Louisiana And Virginia Civil War Cemeteries, Leanna Deveres Smith
LSU Master's Theses
The Civil War in the United States was the deadliest conflict faced by Americans during the nineteenth century. The resulting numbers of dead bodies called for a change in both cemetery planning and traditional cemetery use. The Union created what became the National Cemetery System, consisting of standardized, nearly identical cemeteries created throughout the South both during and immediately after the war. This system, controlled by the federal government, sought to honor the loyalty of the Union dead while simultaneously dishonoring the Confederate dead, who could not be buried in national cemeteries. In contrast, southerners formed local organizations, primarily made …
Grinning With The Devil: The Use Of Humor In Race Record Advertisments, Justin Guidry
Grinning With The Devil: The Use Of Humor In Race Record Advertisments, Justin Guidry
LSU Master's Theses
The advertisements that appeared in black newspapers for race records in the 1920s were employed to interest the buying public in a new mode of music: the rural blues. Although blues music is characterized by its sadness and despair, these advertisements employed humor and cartoon illustrations in the advertisements. While at first thought, this method of advertising seems inappropriate, further examination of advertisers’ and the public’s perceptions of blues music, as well as some of the qualities of the genre itself illuminate these elaborately drawn advertisements. While older modes of plantation stereotyping informed the advertisers and illustrators producing the ads, …

Virginia And The Equal Rights Amendment, Mary Bezbatchenko
Virginia And The Equal Rights Amendment, Mary Bezbatchenko
Theses and Dissertations
In 1972, the campaign to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) began in the states. Many states quickly ratified the amendment but the ERA stalled fifteen states short of the necessary three-fourths to become part of the United States Constitution. Virginia was one of the states who did not ratify the amendment and this study examines the reasons why. Much like other southern states, conservative Virginia legislators wanted to maintain traditional gender roles. STOP ERA and other anti-ERA organizations mobilized before the proponents developed a unified campaign. Legislators were able to use the rules of the General Assembly to block …
"Shut It Down, Open It Up": A History Of The New Left At The University Of Virginia, Charlottesville, Thomas M. Hanna
"Shut It Down, Open It Up": A History Of The New Left At The University Of Virginia, Charlottesville, Thomas M. Hanna
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis is a history of social and political activism in Charlottesville during the 1960s focusing on new left student organizing at the University of Virginia. It is a work of social history that establishes a community that has been generally ignored in traditional histories of the new left as one of the most influential centers of new left activism in the South and asserts that this prominence was due to years of activism by local liberals, civil rights advocates, and students during the city's unique experiences on the front lines of the southern desegregation, civil rights, and anti-war struggles. …
Life In An Occupied City: Women In Winchester, Virginia During The Civil War, Laura Jane Ping
Life In An Occupied City: Women In Winchester, Virginia During The Civil War, Laura Jane Ping
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examines the homefront experience of middle class, white women living in Winchester, Virginia during the Civil War. The experience of women in Winchester was unique because of Winchester's proximity to both the Union and Confederate capitals. Although the majority of Winchester's women were Confederate supporters a significant minority of the population remained loyal to the Union. Winchester citizens' divided status was further complicated by numerous occupations of the town by both armies. This thesis argues that in order to cope with wartime hardships women's concepts of patriotism changed as homefront morale waned. While early in the war women's …

The Black Metropolis In The Twenty-First Century: Race, Power And The Politics Of Place, Robert Bullard
The Black Metropolis In The Twenty-First Century: Race, Power And The Politics Of Place, Robert Bullard
Robert D Bullard
This book brings together key essays that seek to make visible and expand our understanding of the role of government (policies, programs, and investments) in shaping cities and metropolitan regions; the costs and consequences of uneven urban and regional growth patterns; suburban sprawl and public health, transportation, and economic development; and the enduring connection of place, space, and race in the era of increased globalization. Whether intended or unintended, many government policies (housing, transportation, land use, environmental, economic development, education, etc.) have aided and in some cases subsidized suburban sprawl, job flight, and spatial mismatch; concentrated urban poverty; and heightened …

Native People Of North America: A History, John Bowes
John P. Bowes
For those who teach survey courses, a textbook often serves as a foundation for classroom discussions and lectures. The book provides the basic material and overview so that classroom presentations have the opportunity to be more wide-ranging or specific depending on the teacher’s preference. A well constructed textbook is an extremely valuable tool. At present, instructors of American history have a plethora of options from which to choose. This is not the case with those of us who teach Native American history or Native studies. Consequently, it is always heartening to see someone attempt to create an overview of historical …

Exiles And Pioneers: Eastern Indians In The Trans-Mississippi West, John Bowes
Exiles And Pioneers: Eastern Indians In The Trans-Mississippi West, John Bowes
John P. Bowes
Exiles and Pioneers focuses on the experiences of Shawnee, Delaware, Wyandot, and Potawatomi Indians from the late 1700s to the 1860s. The book uses this multi-tribal perspective to argue that these Indian communities both benefited and suffered from the ineffective policies of the federal government during this period of relentless western expansion.

Carol McEldowney was an activist for human rights issues and in the antiwar movement of the 1960s and early 1970s. As part of a group of ten activists, she traveled to North Vietnam in 1967 for a month long journey to learn about the Vietnamese people and their society to counter the censored images the activists believed were being presented by the U.S. government. Her journal of this trip details her observations and discussions on issues of the military, health and political issues, and women's roles in North Vietnam
