Hearts And Minds, The American Revolution In South Carolina: A Study In The Application Of Militia Violence To Influence Politics, Paul K. Reimann Oct 2008

Hearts And Minds, The American Revolution In South Carolina: A Study In The Application Of Militia Violence To Influence Politics, Paul K. Reimann

History Theses & Dissertations

This thesis examines both the military and political aspects of the genesis and application of militia violence in South Carolina immediately prior to and throughout the Revolution. It assesses the affects of violence on the part of both Patriots and Loyalists in controlling the support provided by the colonists to either army in South Carolina. Warfare in the Southern Colonies transformed, for the patriots, from the accepted European style of battle to the more successful employment of the frontier militia in the role of partisans.

Hearts and Minds argues that the use of violence by the rebel militia was an …

Report On The Royal Navy Remark Books Held At The Hydrographic Office, Taunton, Uk, C. Wilkinson, C. Ward, Fiona Williamson Oct 2008

Report On The Royal Navy Remark Books Held At The Hydrographic Office, Taunton, Uk, C. Wilkinson, C. Ward, Fiona Williamson

Research Collection College of Integrative Studies

The Royal Navy Remarks Books1 are presently held at the Hydrographic Office in Taunton. They are an under-used resource in the fields of naval and maritime history and climate research. The bulk of remarks books were kept on vessels engaged in exploration and hydrographic survey and they are most often associated with the development of marine charting and coastal mapping, but their scope goes well beyond this. For climate studies almost all of the remarks books after 1850, and a modest number before that date, contain frequent, usually sub-daily, observations of air pressure (SLP), air temperature (AT), and sea-surface temperature …

America's Unknown Constitutional World, Christian G. Fritz Oct 2008

America's Unknown Constitutional World, Christian G. Fritz

Faculty Scholarship

Historical and popular understandings of the American constitutional tradition have adopted the contentions of only one side of this debate and its role in bringing about the 1787 constitution. In doing so, these accounts miss much of that tradition’s actual history.


Why Brownsville Failed To Become ‘The Next Coral Gables’, Robin Robinson Oct 2008

Why Brownsville Failed To Become ‘The Next Coral Gables’, Robin Robinson

History Faculty Publications

During the early 1920s, Brownsville and the greater Lower Rio Grande Valley region had an opportunity to expand their economic base from one focused solely on agriculture to one that embraced both agriculture and tourism. Despite the efforts of non-Texas boosters and businessmen, most South Texas residents remained unenthusiastic about the prospect of becoming the next Coral Gables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
