    Early Black Migration and the Post-emancipation Black Community in Cabell County,West Virginia, 1865-1871 Cicero Fain ABSTRACT West Virginia’s formation divided many groups within the new state. Grievances born of secession inflamed questions of taxation, political representation, and constitutional change, and greatly complicated black aspirations during the state’s formative years. Moreover, long-standing attitudes on race and slavery held great sway throughout Appalachia. Thus, the quest by the state’s black residents to achieve the full measure of freedom in the immediate post-Civil War years faced formidable challenges.To meet the mandates for statehood recognition established by President Lincoln, the state’s legislators were forced to rectify a particularly troublesome conundrum: how to grant citizenship to the state’s black residents as well as to its former Confederates. While both populations eventually garnered the rights of citizenship, the fact that a significant number of southern West Virginia’s black residents departed the region suggests that the political gains granted to them were not enough to stem the tide of out-migration during the state’s formative years, from 1863 to 1870. 4 CICERO FAIN / EARLY BLACK MIGRATION IN CABELL COUNTY ARTICLE West Virginia’s formation divided many groups within the new state. Grievances born of secession inflamed questions of taxation, political representation, and constitutional change, and greatly complicated black aspirations during the state’s formative years. It must be remembered that in 1860 the black population in the Virginia counties comprising the current state of West Virginia totaled only 5.9 percent of the general population, with most found in the western Virginia mountain region.1 Moreover, long-standing attitudes on race and slavery held great sway throughout Appalachia.

  • Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett
    Spring Grove Cemetery, once characterized as blending "the elegance of a park with the pensive beauty of a burial-place," is the final resting- place of forty Cincinnatians who were generals during the Civil War. Forty For the Union: Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett f the forty Civil War generals who are buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, twenty-three had advanced from no military experience whatsoever to attain the highest rank in the Union Army. This remarkable feat underscores the nature of the Northern army that suppressed the rebellion of the Confed- erate states during the years 1861 to 1865. Initially, it was a force of "inspired volunteers" rather than a standing army in the European tradition. Only seven of these forty leaders were graduates of West Point: Jacob Ammen, Joshua H. Bates, Sidney Burbank, Kenner Garrard, Joseph Hooker, Alexander McCook, and Godfrey Weitzel. Four of these seven —Burbank, Garrard, Mc- Cook, and Weitzel —were in the regular army at the outbreak of the war; the other three volunteered when the war started. Only four of the forty generals had ever been in combat before: William H. Lytle, August Moor, and Joseph Hooker served in the Mexican War, and William H. Baldwin fought under Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Italian civil war. This lack of professional soldiers did not come about by chance. When the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787, its delegates, who possessed a vast knowledge of European history, were determined not to create a legal basis for a standing army. The founding fathers believed that the stand- ing armies belonging to royalty were responsible for the endless bloody wars that plagued Europe.

  • AN ABSTRACT of the THESIS of Sean Michael
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Sean Michael Graves for the Master of Arts In American History presented on August 14, 2001 Title: Lay Me Down and Save the Flag: The Life of Colonel James A. Mulligan. Abstract approved, ~e--.q r;;. ~ Ethnic units were a prominent feature of American Civil War armies on both sides. Much history and myth surrounds, in particular, the role of the Irish in the war. They were politically opposed to President Lincoln and the Republican Party, they were prejudiced against African-Americans, and Anglo-Americans discriminated against them. The Civil War did not completely resolve these issues. However, understanding the Irish experience in the war is essential to understanding the American experience of the war. Colonel James A. Mulligan commanded the 23 rd Illinois Infantry Regiment, also known as the Chicago Irish Brigade, during the Civil War. Although he was not born in Ireland, Mulligan was an ardent supporter of the country and its people. He also tried to improve the poor image Americans had of Irish immigrants. When the Civil War began, Mulligan saw an opportunity for the Irish to gain greater acceptance in American society. Consequently, he and other prominent Irish-Americans in Chicago organized an all-Irish regiment. The men of the regiment elected Mulligan as their colonel and commanding officer. Colonel Mulligan and his Irish Brigade distinguished themselves wherever they served t from Missouri to West Virginia t during the war. His experience with them alone provides valuable insight to the Irish role in the war. However t Mulligan was Irish-American and he was raised in an affluent home.
