CAMPBELL.PRINTING (DO NOT DELETE) 2/14/2019 11:28 PM The Invention of First Amendment Federalism Jud Campbell* When insisting that the Sedition Act of 1798 violated the First Amendment, Jeffersonian Republicans cast their argument in historical terms, claiming that the Speech and Press Clauses eliminated any federal power to restrict expression. Scholars, in turn, have generally accepted that Republicans had a consistent understanding of the First Amendment throughout the 1790s. But Founding Era constitutionalism was dynamic in practice, even while often conservative in rhetoric, and scholars have missed the striking novelty of the principal argument against the Sedition Act. Republicans had taken a rights provision and transformed it into a federalism rule. Mostly ignored in the literature, and never analyzed as a central feature of the opposition to the Sedition Act, the problem of partisan jury selection drove the shift in Republican thought.

Formulating a Revolutionary Ideology, 1776-1788: the Influence of Military Experience on the Ratification Debates

Formulating a revolutionary ideology, 1776-1788: the influence of military experience on the ratification debates. (Under the direction of DR. DANIEL DUPRE) Throughout the War of Independence, nationalist forces transformed the United States, and shaped the young republic ideologically. The revolutionary spirit of 1776 seized the former British colonies in a frenzied burst of patriotism, inspiring thousands of Americans to defend their traditions of self-government and conceptualizations of liberty; serving in the national armies and state militias that resisted English tyranny. The harsh realities of war reshaped the officers of the Continental Army, altering their political worldviews and contributing to their evolving sense of identity. Transformed by their wartime experiences, veterans analyzed the Articles of Confederation through a lens tinged by military service throughout the postwar years, influencing their support for the proposed Constitution throughout

Unit History of the Maryland and Virginia Rifle Regiment (1776–1781): Insights from the Service Record of Capt. Adamson Tannehill. 2007. Virginia Historical Society, Richmond, E259 .H52 2007. http://www.vahistorical.org/research/tann.pdf Unit History of the Maryland and Virginia Rifle Regiment (1776-1781): Insights from the Service Record of Capt. Adamson Tannehill Tucker F. Hentz (2007) Details of the origins, formal organization, and service record of the Maryland and Virginia Rifle Regiment have defied easy synthesis. Primarily because most of the unit was captured or killed at the battle of Fort Washington on 16 November 1776, the historical trail of the regiment’s “surviving” element has become complex. Modern and contemporaneous accounts of the 1776 New York City Campaign of the War of American Independence convey the impression that the battle marked the end of the regiment as a combat entity. In truth, however, a significant portion of it continued to serve actively in the Continental Army throughout most of the remainder of the war. Adamson Tannehill, a Marylander, was the regiment’s only officer with an uninterrupted service history that extended from the unit’s military roots in mid-1775 until its disbanding in early 1781. His service record thus provided a logical focal point for research that has helped resolve a clearer view of this notable regiment’s heretofore untold history. Antecedents On 14 June 1775 the Continental Congress directed the raising of ten independent companies of riflemen in the Middle Colonies1 as part of the creation of the Continental Army as a national force for opposition to the actions of the British government.

His father, Achilles Broadhead, emigrated to Missouri in 1836, and settled at Flint Hill, St. Charles County. Educated at home and in private schools, his fondness for the natural sciences, history and mathematics, early in life shaped his sphere of labor. He entered the University of Missouri in 1850, a pro ficient scholar in History, Latin and Mathematics. With the close of the school year of 1850-51 he shifted to the Western Military Academy of Kentucky, where he continued his studies in Geology, Mathematics and Engineering under the able guidance of Richard Owen, Professor of Geology and Chemistry, and General Bushrod R.

John Temple (1758–1838), Revolutionary War Pensioner
Context and Comrades Illuminate a Silent Southerner: John Temple (1758–1838), Revolutionary War Pensioner By Rachal Mills Lennon, CG Descendants may incorrectly assume that ancestral actors on history’s stage played generic roles. Pensioner John Temple’s records were both few in number and doubtful in fact. Taking those records at face value left a skewed view of his military service and a decades-wide hole in his life story. n Amherst County, Virginia, on a January day in the mid-1770s, teenager John Temple enlisted in the Continental Line’s Sixth Virginia Regiment. In South Carolina four decades later an aging John Temple petitioned for I 1 a service pension based on financial hardship. A factual void exists between those markers. The elderly man’s sketchy chronicle conflicted with the Amherst soldier’s military records. Could the contradictions be resolved? THE PROBLEM John’s pension file focuses on issues arising from his final move from South Carolina to Alabama. His initial affidavit gives a few details: © Rachal Mills Lennon, CG; 2258 Hwy 25, Cottontown, TN 37048; [email protected].

BALTIMORE: JOHN MURPHY & CO. 1888. jy^^"^ PREFACE This Catalogue has been prepared and is now published under the authority of the Board of Trustees. From 1834 to the present time the list of names given is believed to be complete, the matriculation books of the College and University for that period having been preserved. For the time previous to 1834 the records and register of students are defective. Parts have been muti- lated, some books have been lost, and at times the records were imper- fectly kept. The names of the alumni antecedent to 1834 have been obtained from the fragmentary record books ; from the recollection of surviving alumni ; from contemporaneous history and biography, and from family records and well established tradition. Catalogues of the Alumni were published in 1849 and 1869 which have of course fur- nished much valuable information. The list is necessarily incomplete, however, and the alumni and other friends of the University are earnestly requested to aid in the work of restoring lost names, and in otherwise perfecting as far as pos- sible this Record, with reference to a revision at an early day. The plan is to give the name of every man that has been a student at the Institution—his different places of residence—his occupation or pro- fession—the public positions held by him—and, if not living, the date of his death.
