The Honey War by Cassie Dinges
Dinges 1 The Honey War by Cassie Dinges Cassie Dinges is currently a junior at William Jewell College. Next year, she plans to graduate with a degree in both English and Psychology. Cassie has a passion for journalism, and is on the editorial staff of the College’s newspaper, the Hilltop Monitor . In her spare time, she helps with the Lion and Unicorn Reading Program in Liberty, reads, and questions the grammar of others. After graduation, her largest aspiration is to move to New York City to pursue a graduate degree in English, as well as procure an editing position at a publishing house. The concept of a border war is not new to many, especially residents of the Midwest region. Many Missourian children are brought up with tales of civil war scuffles between their state’s Bushwhackers and the Kansan Jayhawkers. The nation still has reminders of these guerilla warfare showdowns today in the form of museums and the mascot of Kansas University. While the border war between Missouri and Kansas is still alive and well known, few know that the Show-Me State almost declared war with the fledgling territory of Iowa. Thirteen miles of land into modern-day Southern Iowa, as well as many profitable honeybee trees became the fodder for a border battle in 1839. This dispute is nicknamed “The Honey War” and was not dismissed after months of bloodshed but rather by a ruling of the Supreme Court. The trouble between Missouri and Iowa can be traced back to the vague state boundaries established for the former when it gained its statehood in 1821. -
Lieutenant Governor of Missouri
CHAPTER 2 EXECUTIVE BRANCH “The passage of the 19th amendment was a critical moment in our nation’s history not only because it gave women the right to vote, but also because it served as acknowledgement of the many significant contributions women have made to our society, and will make in the future.

[PAGE 1] KANSAS CITY CALL TENTH ANNIVERSARY AND PROGRESS EDITION Vol. 10 No. 13 Kansas City, Mo., July 27, 1928. PROGRESS THE PROGRESS of Negroes in the United States is so great that history will point out what you have done as one of the achievements which mark this age. Your rise is one of the best proofs of the value of the American theory of government. Successes by individuals here and there have been multiplied until now yours is a mass movement. You are advancing all along the line, a sound basis for your having confidence in the future. The world’s work needs every man. I look to see the Negro, prepared by difficulty, and tested by adversity, be a valued factor in upbuilding the commonwealth. In the Middle West, where The Kansas City Call is published, lies opportunity. In addition to urban pursuits you have available for the man of small means, the farm which is one of the primary industries. The Negro in your section can develop in a well rounded way. Above all things, take counsel of what you are doing, rather than of the trials you are undergoing. Look up and go up! Julius Rosenwald [page 2] “PROGRESS EDITION” CELEBRATING THE KANSAS CITY CALL’S TENTH ANNIVERSARY Kansas City, Missouri, Friday, July YOU ARE WELCOME!

Jennie Carter and the Performance of African American Womanhood in Reconstruction-Era California Vanessa Attia
“A Ladylike Employment”: Jennie Carter and the Performance of African American Womanhood in Reconstruction-era California Vanessa Attia College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, University of Florida This essay illustrates how Reconstruction-era journalist Jennie Carter borrowed the popular tropes of her eastern contemporaries and the cult of True Womanhood to legitimate her public voice as both an activist and a black woman. Conditions in the West allowed for her to break out of some of the more restrictive eastern traditions of black respectability, such as the reliance on rhetoric about light skin, desexualization, and overall rebuttals to plantation writing. Instead, Carter was able to extend her use of the respectability discourse to discuss temperance and to mobilize community activism around local politics. In other respects, Carter replicated the eastern tropes of black respectability that were most reliant on the cult of white True Womanhood—namely, the ideals of domesticity articulated in the figure of the maternalistic schoolmarm. INTRODUCTION black writer a chance to rise into the same academic discourse that more well-known figures like Frances Ellen On Independence Day in 1868, an African American Watkins Harper and Ida B. Wells have been circulating for woman from Nevada County, California set down to paper years. This essay will insert Jennie Carter into this her earnest plea to resurrect the black public school of San historical discussion by comparing her methods of public Francisco after a city decree that all “except the colored self-representation with that of Maria W.
