  • Music and the American Civil War
    “LIBERTY’S GREAT AUXILIARY”: MUSIC AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by CHRISTIAN MCWHIRTER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2009 Copyright Christian McWhirter 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Music was almost omnipresent during the American Civil War. Soldiers, civilians, and slaves listened to and performed popular songs almost constantly. The heightened political and emotional climate of the war created a need for Americans to express themselves in a variety of ways, and music was one of the best. It did not require a high level of literacy and it could be performed in groups to ensure that the ideas embedded in each song immediately reached a large audience. Previous studies of Civil War music have focused on the music itself. Historians and musicologists have examined the types of songs published during the war and considered how they reflected the popular mood of northerners and southerners. This study utilizes the letters, diaries, memoirs, and newspapers of the 1860s to delve deeper and determine what roles music played in Civil War America. This study begins by examining the explosion of professional and amateur music that accompanied the onset of the Civil War. Of the songs produced by this explosion, the most popular and resonant were those that addressed the political causes of the war and were adopted as the rallying cries of northerners and southerners. All classes of Americans used songs in a variety of ways, and this study specifically examines the role of music on the home-front, in the armies, and among African Americans.

GOLIAD MASSACRE 8. REMEMBER THE ALAMO Flying a red flag, and apparently playing the El Degüello bugle call, Santa Anna and his troops signaled to the Alamo defenders that no quarter would be given. Put differently, Santa Anna was sending a message that his men would allow no Alamo defender to live. Without reinforcements, the Alamo defenders did not have a chance to survive Santa Anna’s overwhelming firepower. This image depicts a flag of “No Quarter.” At the start of his Alamo siege, Santa Anna ordered the red flag of 'no quarter' to be flown from the bell tower of San Fernando Church. His objective, of course, was to intimidate the men inside the fort. Travis had desperately sought reinforcements. Davy Crockett, a frontiersman and former Tennessee congressman - this document certifies his election to that post - joined the Texians with a small group of Mounted Tennessee Volunteers in early February. Juan Seguin, a highly respected Tejano, was out of the fort the morning of the final assault. (It is thought he may have crossed Mexican lines more than once in his effort to find assistance for the beleaguered defenders.) James Bowie, who had been leader of the volunteers and Alamo co-commander with Travis, was extremely ill with (according to most accounts) typhoid fever. James Butler Bonham, who was twenty-eight years old at the time, arrived in Texas during late 1835.

  • Battle of the Alamo 1 Battle of the Alamo
    Battle of the Alamo 1 Battle of the Alamo The Battle of the Alamo (February 23 – March 6, 1836) was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution. Following a 13-day siege, Mexican troops under President General Antonio López de Santa Anna launched an assault on the Alamo Mission near San Antonio de Béxar (modern-day San Antonio, Texas). All but two of the Texian defenders were killed. Santa Anna's perceived cruelty during the battle inspired many Texians—both Texas settlers and adventurers from the United States—to join the Texian Army. Buoyed by a desire for revenge, the Texians defeated the Mexican Army at the Battle of San Jacinto, on April 21, 1836, ending the revolution. Several months prior, Texians had driven all Mexican troops out of Mexican Texas. Approximately 100 Texians were then garrisoned at the Alamo. The Texian force grew slightly with the arrival of reinforcements led by eventual Alamo co-commanders James Bowie and William B. Travis. On February 23, approximately 1,500 Mexican troops marched into San Antonio de Béxar as the first step in a campaign to re-take Texas. For the next 12 days the two armies engaged in several skirmishes with minimal casualties. Aware that his garrison could not withstand an attack by such a large force, Travis wrote multiple letters pleading for more men and supplies, but fewer than 100 reinforcements arrived. In the early morning hours of March 6, the Mexican Army advanced on the Alamo. After repulsing two attacks, Texians were unable to fend off a third attack.

  • Of the Many Hundreds of American Novels About the Second World
    Jonathan Lighter Battle Cry Revisited: “Don’t Worry, Mom, Everything is Going to be All Right” f the many hundreds of American novels about the Second World War, none has equaled the popular success of ex-Pfc. Leon Uris’s Battle Cry (1953), a spirited celebration of the U.S. Marines in the Pacific—in loveO and war, in combat and out. An indifferent student from an unhappy family background, Uris dropped out of high school in Baltimore early in 1942 to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps at the age of seventeen: during the ‘50s and ‘60s he became one of the top-selling American novelists in publishing history. As a radioman with Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines, Uris served at Guadalcanal and Tarawa before bouts of dengue fever and recurrent malaria resulted in his evacuation to Oak Knoll Naval Hospital in California; after an appropriate convalescence, he worked on war bond projects till the end of the war. Battle Cry, his first novel, was published in January, 1953, to immediate popular acclaim. As the book climbed the national bestseller lists, Uris told the press that he’d begun working on it in 1950, about four years after leaving the service. In the years since the war he’d worked at several jobs, most notably as home-delivery manager in the circulation department of the San Francisco Call-Bulletin. Ex-sergeant Merle Miller, a journalist, who had covered Eniwetok and Kwajalein for Yank: The Army Weekly and published a realistic novel, Island 49 (1945), about a Pacific invasion, hailed Battle Cry in the prestigious Saturday Review of Literature as “a wonderfully different kind of war novel,” which he hoped would be the start of a “whole new and healthy trend in American war literature.”1 As critics William Darby, Philip Beidler, and Kathleen Shine Cain have observed, Battle Cry—dedicated “to the United States Marines, and to one in particular, Staff Sergeant Betty Beck Uris,” the author’s wife—is “wonderfully different” from its blockbuster war-novel predecessors in several ways.
