D. Cornell University 2010 This dissertation examines the role of Oberlin (the northern Ohio town and its organically connected college of the same name) in the antislavery struggle. It traces the antislavery origins and development of this Western “hot-bed of abolitionism,” and establishes Oberlin—the community, faculty, students, and alumni—as comprising the core of the antislavery movement in the West and one of the most influential and successful groups of abolitionists in antebellum America. Within two years of its founding, Oberlin’s founders had created a teachers’ college and adopted nearly the entire student body of Lane Seminary, who had been dismissed for their advocacy of immediate abolition. Oberlin became the first institute of higher learning to admit men and women of all races. America's most famous revivalist (Charles Grandison Finney) was among its new faculty as were a host of outspoken proponents of immediate emancipation and social reform.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfîlming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication tliat the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Public Canal Finance and State Banking in Ohio, 1825-1837 Harry N
    Public Canal Finance and State Banking In Ohio, 1825-1837 Harry N. Scheiber" Historians have recently given much attention to the active, formative role of state governments in the American economy before the Civil War.l The states exercised nearly exclusive control over many aspects of economic life, and in such areas as labor, banking, and corporation policy the federal government interfered relatively little. The consequence was considerable decentralization of power in policymaking, together with variations in policy from state to state.2 Perhaps in no policy area were variations so dramatic as in state legislation on banking. In some states banking was prohibited outright, while in others the state government itself established and operated banks, sometimes on a monopoly basis. Elsewhere, safety funds were established and banks required to meet minimum standards of specie reserve and the like; and in a few states, stringent regulatory policies were pursued, with public commissioners given considerable discretion in administering p01icy.~ This study considers another type of interaction between state government and privately owned banks: the deposit of state funds and their management by state officials and bank officers. Nathan Miller's exccllent analysis of the Erie Canal Fund in New York has demonstrated that when the Erie Canal, a unique financial success among American canals, produced large surplus revenues, the state government treated this surplus as a fund for development, depositing the money in selected banks and thereby providing reserves on which the banks expanded their note issues and commercial credit.' In this article, the comparable experience of Ohio-the first western state to under- take public canal construction-in the management of canal funds is the focus of attention.

  • Plum Grove History
    STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF IOWA 600 E Locust St. Des Moines, IA 50319 [email protected] Plum Grove History The home of Iowa's first territorial governor, Robert Lucas, is a small, two-story, red-brick home situated on four quiet, wooded acres. Lucas and his wife, Friendly, lived in the house from 1844 to 1853. Plum Grove has seven main rooms; four downstairs and three upstairs, plus an attached one-story kitchen. The home, with its modest furnishings, has been restored to appear as it would have when the Lucas' lived there. Before Iowa became a state, it was a territory. Robert Lucas, former Governor of Ohio, was appointed in 1838 by the President of the United States, Martin Van Buren, to serve as the first Governor of the Territory of Iowa. When Robert Lucas arrived in Iowa in 1838, only 21 of the present day counties had been created out of the Black Hawk Purchase, the Half-Breed Tract, the Keokuk Reserve and the Second Black hawk Purchase. In 1844, Robert and Friendly Lucas built a red brick Greek Revival style house. The house, surrounded by plum trees, was named Plum Grove. The Lucas family sold Plum Grove in 1866. It changed owners several times until purchased by the State of Iowa in 1941. The house was restored and furnished with 150-year-old furniture reflecting the Lucas residency during the 1840s -1850s. The seven room house does not have closets. In 1844, closets were considered rooms and property taxes were based on the number of rooms in the house.
