  • The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy
    Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

  • Arkansas Moves Toward Secession and War
    RICE UNIVERSITY WITH HESITANT RESOLVE: ARKANSAS MOVES TOWARD SECESSION AND WAR BY JAMES WOODS A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS Dr.. Frank E. Vandiver Houston, Texas ABSTRACT This work surveys the history of ante-bellum Arkansas until the passage of the Ordinance of Secession on May 6, 186i. The first three chapters deal with the social, economic, and politicai development of the state prior to 1860. Arkansas experienced difficult, yet substantial .social and economic growth during the ame-belium era; its percentage of population increase outstripped five other frontier states in similar stages of development. Its growth was nevertheless hampered by the unsettling presence of the Indian territory on its western border, which helped to prolong a lawless stage. An unreliable transportation system and a ruinous banking policy also stalled Arkansas's economic progress. On the political scene a family dynasty controlled state politics from 1830 to 186u, a'situation without parallel throughout the ante-bellum South. A major part of this work concentrates upon Arkansas's politics from 1859 to 1861. In a most important siate election in 1860, the dynasty met defeat through an open revolt from within its ranks led by a shrewd and ambitious Congressman, Thomas Hindman. Hindman turned the contest into a class conflict, portraying the dynasty's leadership as "aristocrats" and "Bourbons." Because of Hindman's support, Arkansans chose its first governor not hand¬ picked by the dynasty. By this election the people handed gubernatorial power to an ineffectual political novice during a time oi great sectional crisis.

  • Humphreys Genealogy
    HUMPHREYS GENEALOGY Some descendants of John Humphreys, of Chester County, Pennsylvania, ten generations of whom have made their home in the Southern States. By ALLAN SPARROW HUMPHREYS FAYETTEVILLE.ARKANSAS TRADITIONS CONCERNING THE ORIGIN OF THE HUMPHREYS FAMILY All branches of the family believe that they are WELSH. Tradition recorded by Rebecca (Humphreys) Parker, born 23 July 1853, Anderson Co., S. C. "Col. Humphreys was an officer who was with William the Con­ queror in all his wars in England. For his service William gave him a large land grant in Sussex. From this man all Humphreys in America are descended. Following our branch, Daniel Humphreys, a Presby­ terian preacher came over and settled at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He raised six children-bavid, Solomon, Elijah, Benjamin, Katie and Polly. David was our great grandfather. He came to North Carolina and there married Martha Word. Solomon and Elijah never married. They moved to Tennessee where Solomon was a physician of great fame. Benjamin married and moved to Tennessee and was lost sight of all the others. Katie married Drury McGee and Polly married a Halbert." Tradition recorded by Sally (Humphreys) Boyett, born 5 Feb. 1844, Pickens County, S. C. "The Humphreys family came to America from Wales ten years before the Revolutionary War. Coming over were David, Daniel, and Benjamin, and they were the only Humphreys in America at that time. David settled in North Carolina, Daniel in Virginia, and Benjamin in Baltimore, Maryland. They were pure Welsh." Tradition printed in MEMORIAL AND GENEALOGICAL REC­ ORD OF SOUTHWEST TEXAS, Goodspeed, 1894. Taken from biography of Benjamin Wayne Humphreys, born 27 Nov.

Recent years also have seen the marking of the 50th anniversary of both the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed discrimination in public accommodations and employment, and Freedom Summer, when black and white college students journeyed to Mississippi to wage voting rights campaigns there. Yet, in Memphis, Tennessee, African Americans historically faced few barriers to voting. While black southerners elsewhere were killed and harassed for trying to exert their right to vote, black Memphians could vote and used that right as a tool to advance civil rights. Throughout the 1900s, they held the balance of power in elections, ran black candidates for political office, and engaged in voter registration campaigns. Black Memphians in 1964 elected the first black state legislator in Tennessee since the late nineteenth century.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: CONFEDERATE FEDERALISM
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: CONFEDERATE FEDERALISM: A VIEW FROM THE GOVERNORS Michael Albert Powell, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Herman J. Belz Department of History Examination of Confederate fed eralism to date generally has emphasized one of two interpretations: that the Confederacy either “died of state rights” or that the Confederacy, because of the war -time demands, created a government at least as centralized as the Union, if not more so. Th is dissertation argues that the reality was much more complex. Confederate federalism consisted of three phases. The first, or the cooperative, phase was represented by a high degree of cooperation between the states and central government and lasted fro m the formation of the Confederacy until the spring of 1862. The governors freely provided troops, arms, and equipment to both the Confederacy and each other with minimal conflict over constitutional lines of authority. The second phase, from the spring of 1862 to the fall of 1864, was marked by conflict between the states and the Davis administration, with the differences resolved through negotiated compromises. While conscription was a war -time necessity, compromises were negotiated between the governors and the Davis administration over exemptions, use of state courts in deciding the constitutionality of conscription, and changes in the law itself. Impressment and the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus were recognized by the governors as legitima te constitutional powers of the central government, but limitations were negotiated with respect to their enforcement. Lastly, fiscal policies were deemed by the governors to fall within the sphere of the Confederacy’s constitutional authority and therefo re beyond the scope of gubernatorial authority.
