University of Florida Thesis Or Dissertation Formatting Template RISING TIDE OF EMPIRE: GULF COAST CULTURE AND SOCIETY DURING THE ERA OF EXPANSION, 1845-1860 By MARIA ANGELA DIAZ A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2013 1 © 2013 Maria Angela Diaz 2 For my family 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many people and institutions helped me throughout my time researching and writing this dissertation. First, I would like to thank my parents Joe M. Diaz and Francisca Diaz, my brother, Joe Anthony Diaz, and my entire family for their encouragement and help. Without their unwavering belief in my abilities this would not have been possible. I love them all more than I can say. My dear friend, Autumn L. Hanna, read many drafts and was one of my loudest cheerleaders. She made me laugh when I really needed it. I would also like to thank Allison Fredette, Andrea Ferreira, Aurélia Aubert, Jennifer Lyon, Matthew Hall, Scott Huffard, and James Broomall for their helpful suggestions and careful readings of various stages of this work. Peter Carmichael and Watson Jennison were two of my favorite professors at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and they both played a crucial part in helping me to realize my goal of obtaining my Ph.D. I thank them for this every single day. I would like to thank my advisors, William A. Link and J. Matthew Gallman, for their guidance, patience, and kindness. Bill Link answered every question and every late-night email with thoughtful suggestions. His generosity as a mentor is extraordinary, and I hope to be as good a mentor to my future students as he was to me. Matt Gallman pushed me to think more creatively about my work and our many discussions led me to consider this dissertation in new and different ways. It would not be the study it is today without his help. Both of these amazing historians have taught me what it means to be a scholar. I would like to thank my committee, Sean Adams, Leah Rosenberg, and Paul Ortiz, for their thoughtful critiques and questions. I am indebted to the archivists at the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas, the Southern Historical Collection, the Howard-Tilton Memorial Library, the Hill Memorial Library, the 4 Galveston and Texas History Research Center, and the Historic New Orleans Collection. 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy RISING TIDE OF EMPIRE: GULF COAST CULTURE AND SOCIETY DURING THE ERA OF EXPANSION, 1845-1860 By Maria Angela Diaz August 2013 Chair: William A. Link Cochair: J. Matthew Gallman Major: History The dissertation explores territorial expansion, its impact on port communities within the American Gulf Coast, and the region’s connections to Latin America during the antebellum period. I argue that an expansionist discourse was compiled of images of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, oppressed Cuban Creoles, and threats to the economic security of the Gulf of Mexico. Southerners living within the Gulf of Mexico used this language to capitalize on the nation’s bid for territorial gains in Latin America and attempted to expand their Southern slave society into Texas, Mexico, and Cuba. This work draws attention to the Gulf South’s transnational connections. Many historians have shed light on the importance of the Gulf of Mexico’s ports to the Atlantic World, yet the Gulf ports also played central roles as sites of social and economic connection for other parts of the Americas as well. This dissertation posits that the Gulf South served as a major site of connection for the Atlantic World, Latin America, the U.S. South, and the U.S.-Mexico borderlands during the antebellum period. An examination of this region during the period of U.S. territorial expansion serves to unite the complex histories

    CATALYST FOR CHANGE IN THE BORDERLANDS: U.S. ARMY LOGISTICS DURING THE U.S.-MEXICAN WAR AND THE POSTWAR PERIOD, 1846-1860 Christopher N. Menking Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 201 9 APPROVED: Richard McCaslin, Major Professor Sandra Mendiola Garcia, Committee Member Andrew Torget, Committee Member Alexander Mendoza, Committee Member Robert Wooster, Outside Reader Jennifer Jensen Wallach, Chair of the Department of History Tamara L. Brown, Executive Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Menking, Christopher N. Catalyst for Change in the Borderlands: U.S. Army Logistics during the U.S.-Mexican War and the Postwar Period, 1846-1860. Doctor of Philosophy (History), December 2019, 323 pp., 3 figures, 3 appendices, bibliography, 52 primary sources, 140 secondary sources. This dissertation seeks to answer two primary questions stemming from the war between the United States and Mexico: 1) What methods did the United States Army Quartermaster Department employ during the war to achieve their goals of supporting armies in the field? 2) In executing these methods, what lasting impact did the presence of the Quartermaster Department leave on the Lower Río Grande borderland, specifically South Texas during the interwar period from 1848-1860? In order to obtain a complete understanding of what the Department did during the war, a discussion of the creation, evolution, and methodology of the Quartermaster Department lays the foundation for effective analysis of the department’s wartime methods and post-war influence. It is equally essential to understand the history of South Texas prior to the Mexican War under the successive control of Spain, Mexico and the United States and how that shaped the wartime situation.

  • Raphael Semmes and the CSS Alabama | August 2014
    Essential Civil War Curriculum | Stephen Fox, The Confederacy at Sea: Raphael Semmes and the CSS Alabama | August 2014 The Confederacy at Sea: Raphael Semmes and the CSS Alabama By Stephen Fox Raphael Semmes was the first and most important Confederate naval hero. In one of the great feats in the history of naval warfare, he took his swift commerce raider, the CSS Alabama, on a 22-month rampage through the Atlantic and Indian oceans, hunting Union merchant vessels. He captured 65 of them, burning 52, and sank a Union warship as well. Semmes and his ship thereby generated rippling impacts on Northern morale and commerce, Southern war expectations, wartime (and postwar) diplomatic relations between the United States and Great Britain, and the long term prospects of the American merchant marine. All this from one rather small ship on the immense ocean! Semmes had grown up on the border between North and South, and his eventual zeal as a Confederate patriot developed slowly over decades. He came from a well-established Roman Catholic family in Maryland. For generations his ancestors raised tobacco and owned slaves in Charles and St. Mary’s counties in the southern part of the state. Orphaned at age fourteen, Semmes joined the US Navy three years later as a midshipman. He spent 35 years in the Navy, often frustrated by the slow pace of promotion in peacetime. During extended leaves on shore he became a lawyer to augment his naval salary. He married a woman from Cincinnati, Anne Spencer, an anti-slavery Protestant. They had five children.
