Introduction Abolition & Slavery ABOLITION AND ANTI-SLAVERY MOVEMENT War! Michigan had a long history of anti-slavery feelings, even before it Rally Round the Flag! became a state. Arthur St. Clair, the first governor of the Northwest Training Territory, frequently spoke out against the extension of slavery. By the 1820's, Detroit had become a crossing point into Canada for Supplying the Troops escaped slaves. The opening of the Erie Canal allowed increased Life in Camp settlement in the region, particularly from the New England States. Faces of Michigan Many of these new settlers brought with them strong abolitionist The Toll of War sentiments. One Family's Loss Peace and Legacy LAURA SMITH HAVILAND (1808-1898) Laura Smith was born to Quaker parents in Ontario, Canada. In 1825, she married Charles Haviland Jr., himself a devout Quaker. A few years after they were married, they moved to Lenawee County, Michigan. Haviland and other members of the community helped Elizabeth Margaret Chandler organize the Logan Female Anti-Slavery Society in 1832. It was the first anti-slavery organization in Michigan. The Haviland farm purportedly was the first station of the Underground Railroad established in Laura Smith Haviland with Slave Irons Michigan. “Photographs”, Box 1, Laura S. Haviland papers THE SIGNAL OF LIBERTY1 On November 10, 1836, delegates from southeast Michigan gathered at the First Presbyterian Church in Ann Arbor for an ‘Anti-Slavery State Convention.’ After two days, delegates established the Michigan State Anti- Slavery Society, adopted resolutions denouncing slavery, and decided to publish an antislavery newspaper. Purchasing a printing press and selling subscriptions in the Michigan Territory was challenging – and risky. In the fall of 1837, newspaper publisher Elijah Lovejoy was attacked by a pro-slavery mob in Alton, Illinois. Lovejoy was shot and killed when he refused to give up his printing press. Antislavery lecturers in Michigan faced angry crowds throughout the 1830s.

The following year, Seymour Treadwell agreed to act as the editor and publisher of the Michigan Freeman. Both newspapers were issued only sporadically. Theodore Foster and Rev. Guy Beckley launched the Signal of Liberty in April 1841 and managed to go to press nearly every week. The printing office was located on the second floor of Josiah Beckley’s mercantile shop on Broadway Avenue in Ann Arbor.

Theodore Foster was no. 63”, Ann Arbor, Michigan co-editor and publisher of the Signal photograph collection of Liberty until 1848. Foster and Beckley were strong abolitionists who wrote in the Signal of Liberty of helping people escaping from slavery. The editors interviewed self-emancipated men and women, hoping to arouse sympathy for abolitionism. They published the story of Robert Coxe, helpless to stop the beatings of his sister and mother, grief-stricken as his family was sold and separated. The newspaper covered the “kidnapping outrages” of African Americans in Detroit, Marshall and Cass County, Michigan. The Signal of Liberty achieved its goal of bringing the issue of slavery into the hearts and minds of the people. Nearly every issue included an antislavery poem, national news, and local notices. Minutes from antislavery meetings reveal a proliferation of organizations across the state and a growing desire to see slavery end in America. The events and movements described in the Signal of Liberty help us understand the issues that led people to resist slavery, change their churches and political parties, and fight for freedom. 1.

In this aricle,I explore Laura Haviland's activism in relation to the historiography of abolitionist women. I consider feasons Haviland failed to become a person of interest in the literature until very recendy' everl as the scholady scope widened in the 1990s and eady 2000s to include women who had been marginalized from the dominant narcattve of antislavery politics.

    INTIMIDATING THE WORLD: THE UNITED STATES ATOMIC ARMY, 1956-1960 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Paul C. Jussel, B.A., M.M.A.S., M.S.S. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee Approved by Professor Allan R. Millett, Advisor Professor John R. Guilmartin __________________ Professor William R. Childs Advisor Department of History ABSTRACT The atomic bomb created a new military dynamic for the world in 1945. The bomb, if used properly, could replace the artillery fires and air-delivered bombs used to defeat the concentrated force of an enemy. The weapon provided the U.S. with an unparalleled advantage over the rest of the world, until the Soviet Union developed its own bomb by 1949 and symmetry in warfare returned. Soon, theories of warfare changed to reflect the belief that the best way to avoid the effects of the bomb was through dispersion of forces. Eventually, the American Army reorganized its divisions from the traditional three-unit organization to a new five-unit organization, dubbed pentomic by its Chief of Staff, General Maxwell D. Taylor. While atomic weapons certainly had an effect on Taylor’s reasoning to adopt the pentomic organization, the idea was not new in 1956; the Army hierarchy had been wrestling with restructuring since the end of World War II. Though the Korean War derailed the Army’s plans for the early fifties, it returned to the forefront under the Eisenhower Administration. The driving force behind reorganization in 1952 was not ii only the reoriented and reduced defense budget, but also the Army’s inroads to the atomic club, formerly the domain of only the Air Force and the Navy.

  • Laura Haviland and Frances Willard Serving Their “Present Age” in Two Strands of Nineteenth-Century Methodism

    Laura Haviland and Frances Willard Serving Their “Present Age” in Two Strands of Nineteenth-Century Methodism

    Oxford Institute of Methodist Theological Studies August 2007 Kristina LaCelle-Peterson “Our Calling to Fulfill”: Laura Haviland and Frances Willard Serving their “Present Age” in Two Strands of Nineteenth-Century Methodism Frances Willard was a women’s college president while Laura Smith Haviland taught school to African Americans in the basement of churches. Willard fought for justice in the courts while Haviland labored in the trenches (almost literally). Willard agitated for the just treatment of women through channels of respectability while Haviland worked in dangerous and poverty-stricken areas for the very lives of ex-slaves. Out of love for God and a desire to see justice done, these two nineteenth-century Methodist women poured out their lives their “calling to fulfill.” How, we might ask, did they conceive of their calling? How did they justify their efforts for social justice to their conservative audiences and get others to embrace the call? Willard, as educator and leader of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, and Laura Haviland, as reformer and activist, resembled one another in significant ways, despite their different locations on the Methodist family tree. Most importantly, they each believed that working for the betterment of others’ lives was their Christian duty, so their political agitation and practical service flowed from their own Christian commitments. Despite their own involvement in radical efforts to ameliorate poverty, illiteracy and injustice of various forms, they each managed to stay connected to the conservative Protestantism from which they came. They differed considerably in the focus of their work, however; while Willard directed her energy to improving lives of women, Haviland mainly addressed her efforts to African Americans, both men and women, first as they navigated their escape from slavery and later as they sought to build new lives for themselves.

    First Michigan – Three Months Volunteer Infantry Regiment “Thank God for Michigan!” It is confidently expected that the patriotic citizen soldiery of Michigan will promptly come forward to enlist in the cause of the Union, against which an extensive rebellion in arms exists, threatening the integrity and perpetuity of the government.1 Governor and Commander-in-Chief Austin Blair April 16, 1861 On April 12, 1861, the first guns of the Civil War were fired on Fort Sumter. On April 15, Governor Austin only three days later, Lincoln appealed to the “loyal” states for help in putting down the Blair rebellion, calling for 75,000 volunteers to serve for three months.2 Governor Austin Blair received the War Department’s telegram at his home in Jackson, advising him of Lincoln’s call to arms and informing him of Michigan’s quota: one regiment consisting of ten companies, or about 1,000 men. Governor Blair immediately left for Detroit to confer with the state’s Adjutant General, John Robertson.3 The problem: how to recruit, organize, arm, equip and train a regiment as quickly as possible. There were no funds for such an undertaking. Michigan’s treasury in 1861 was nearly depleted. Prominent business and civic leaders around the state stepped forward, pledging $80,000 in loans to get Michigan’s war effort started.4 On April 16, one day after receiving the War Department’s telegram, Governor Blair called for volunteers.
