Mudd was convicted of conspiring with John Wilkes Booth and others ro assassinate President Abraham Lincoln. He was sentenced ro life imprisonment on an island off the coast of Florida. Dr. Mudd was pardoned in 1869 by President Andrew Johnson, based on his assistance in a yellow fever epidemic rather than on the merits. of his case, leaving unre­ solved until the present day the question of his ultimate guilt or innocence. On February 12, 1993, the University of Richmond School of Law convened a distin­ guished group of jurists and Civil War histori­ ans to thoroughly present both sides of the case of Samuel Mudd and the broader Lincoln Conspiracy before a panel of judges in an actual courtroom.

  • In Defense of Thomas Digges
    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY In Defense of Thomas Digges ISTORY has dealt harshly with Thomas Digges. That Mary- land gentleman, who sojourned in England during the H American Revolution, has been branded as an embezzler, a rogue, and a British spy. None of these charges was ever proved conclusively. Nineteenth-century scholars, studying the then avail- able correspondence of Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, formed their own opinions, however, and jotted them down. Franklin had accused the Marylander of pocketing for his own use most of the money sent him in 1780-1781 for support of American seamen in British prisons. The specific allegation was that Digges had drawn upon the American minister plenipotentiary in France for £495 sterling, but had applied only £30 of it to the relief of the prisoners.1 Hence, Franklin's letters had bristled with bitter invec- tives, such as ". he is the greatest villain I ever met with"2; "As to Digges, I have no confidence in him, nor in anything he says, or may say . ."3; "Beware of him, for he is very artful, and has cheated many."4 1 Franklin to John Jay, Aug. 20, 1781, auto draft, Franklin Papers, 864, Library of Con- gress, hereafter cited as Franklin, LC.

  • Science, Ethics, and Religion in Nineteenth-Century American Literature
    THE ANATOMY OF CONSCIENCE: SCIENCE, ETHICS, AND RELIGION IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY AMERICAN LITERATURE B. Josh Doty A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Jane F. Thrailkill Timothy Marr John McGowan Eliza Richards Matthew Taylor © 2016 B. Josh Doty ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT B. Josh Doty: The Anatomy of Conscience: Science, Ethics, and Religion in Nineteenth-Century American Literature (Under the direction of Jane F. Thrailkill) “The Anatomy of Conscience” examines how nineteenth-century American fiction figures a trajectory between Revolutionary physician Benjamin Rush’s speculations about a citizenry physiologically optimized for virtuous self-governance to physician and novelist Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.’s postbellum vision of a reformed ethics and theology informed by the biological theory of heredity. It argues that a rarely-linked group of novelists—Hannah Foster, Charles Brockden Brown, Robert Montgomery Bird, Herman Melville, and Holmes—use fiction to imagine into being new ethical and theological worlds inspired by emerging biological ideas. During the roughly hundred years separating Rush and Holmes, writers represented how new biological ideas transformed humans from blank slates capable of stunning moral change to beings burdened by the moral weight of not only their own bodies but those of their ancestors, preserved through the biological mechanism of heredity. Tracing writers’ fictionalization of the biological developments that took place between Rush and Holmes reveals the ways that literature intervened in myriad debates about emerging modes of understanding vice, virtue, and sin.

Between 1880 and 1930, states and municipalities increased governmental controls over the full range of nineteenth-century avenues for democratic participation. Prior to this legal transformation, the practice of democratic politics in the United States was less structured by law and more autonomous from formal state institu- tions than it is today. Exposing this history challenges two core assumptions that drive the work of con- temporary scholars who write about the law of the American political process. First, a study of the nineteenth-century mode of regulating politics belies the existing literature’s assumption that law must extensively structure democratic politics. Second, this account of democracy in nineteenth-century America serves as a reminder that elections, political parties, and voting, while critical to democracy, are not the whole deal. It thereby challenges law of democracy scholars to move beyond the existing literature’s narrow conception of democracy as elections and to consider more broadly the practice of democracy in America. * Copyright 2011 by Tabatha Abu El-Haj, Assistant Professor of Law, Drexel University, Earle Mack School of Law.

    CORD OF EMPIRE, EXOTIC INTOXICANT: HEMP AND CULTURE IN THE ATLANTIC WORLD, 1600-1900 by BRADLEY J. BOROUGERDI Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON May 2014 Copyright © by Bradley J. Borougerdi 2014 All Rights Reserved ii For Aiden and Meadow, whose lives are my inspiration. iii Acknowledgements This project could not have been completed without the generous help and excellent guidance of a number of people. Thomas Adam was instrumental in helping me formulate the framework of the topic in its early stages. Dennis Reinhartz has been working with me since I became an academic, and he graciously agreed to continue doings so as Professor Emeritus, for which I am ever so grateful. Christopher Morris stepped in at a time when I thought all was lost and has been more than I could have ever asked for as an advisor. I am also thankful to Imre Demhardt and Alusine Jalloh for agreeing to serve on my committee. I could not have asked for a better team of scholars to work with. James Klotter, Richard Francavilia, Beatriz Acevedo, Claire Gherini, Al Howard, and Cyrus Ala’i were all kind enough to hold conversations with me over email throughout the course of my research and provided excellent direction. Also, Isaac Campos spent time one Sunday to speak with me over the phone and provided outstanding insight. Alfred Crosby and Frances Karttunen shocked me with their generosity when they mailed me a box of microfilm to use for my research.
