Childs RECONSTRUCTING SOUTH CAROLINA’S HISTORY THROUGH THE SOUTH CAROLINIANA LIBRARY 80TH ANNUAL MEETING ADDRESS BY DR. ORVILLE VERNON BURTON (Presented 19 March 2016) This lecture is dedicated in loving memory to my dear friend and fellow historian Charles Joyner (1935-2016), who adored the South Caroliniana Library. I want to acknowledge the excellent research assistance of Bennett Parten and my beloved daughter Beatrice Burton. Sometimes writers of fiction can point us toward deeper truths than writers of fact. We mourn the loss of South Carolina author Pat Conroy whose papers are in the University of South Carolina Libraries. Conroy’s writings touched both head and heart, and he channeled what is deep in the earth and in our souls to capture the beauty as well as the brutality of life in the South. With writing so descriptive that I could smell the marshes and see the ocean, Conroy always took me home even when I was in Illinois. I once was listening to Prince of Tides on books on tape as I drove all night from Illinois to my mother’s home in Ninety Six, South Carolina, with a car filled with my wife and five children asleep, and I drove past my exit on I-26 because I was so mesmerized by his story telling. His musing on Sherman and Sherman’s march into South Carolina in Beach Music is brilliant (and we can be thankful that Sherman, or the retreating Confederates, did not burn the Caroliniana). 3 As Conroy phrased it: “I always felt if I told the story of the South, I’d tell the history of the world. If I could figure out the South, figure out what is glorious about it, figure out what is hideous about it, if I could get it down, if I could get it right, I would tell the story of the entire human race.” Conroy’s writings are a metaphor for Southern history and especially our South Carolina history because his work was filled with so many destructive family secrets, but once those secrets were faced, Conroy provided redemption.1 The historian’s quest for truth, however, must be based on verifiable facts, and without the South Caroliniana Library a factual history of our state would not be possible. This is especially true for us as Conway’s fiction illustrates, and as the Edgefield historian Francis Butler Simkins warned professional historians in his presidential address to the Southern Historical Association: “Sometimes Southern historians forget that what is often important to Southerners is not what actually happened but what is believed to have happened.”2 Thanks to the Caroliniana, we can learn what actually happened. In the last few years, it has been customary for the University South Caroliniana Society’s talks to coincide with anniversaries and commemo- rations. We here today want to commemorate the eightieth anniversary of the Society. This is also the academic year we commemorate the 175th anniversary of the South Caroliniana Library, finished in 1840 as the South Carolina College library, the first freestanding academic library building erected in the United States, and the oldest American college library in continuous operation. The Caroliniana is more than a building. The records and documents that our special libraries and archives maintain have a spiritual quality. They capture and preserve real pieces of life from people of other times. While those people are no more, something of their lives continues in the materials they left behind. The 4 privilege of working with these remnants and interacting across time with these lives from the past, either as custodians or researchers, is a very high one, and keepers of the Caroliniana are the best.3 We have just finished the sesquicentennial commemoration of the Civil War and are beginning the commemoration of Reconstruction. Historians usually argue that Reconstruction ends with the withdrawal of the few federal troops remaining in the former Confederate states in 1877, but that is not how the people saw or lived their lives at the time. My interpretation does not separate the Civil War and Reconstruction, and I argued in The Age of Lincoln that Reconstruction is part and parcel of the long Civil War. During Reconstruction, former Confederate generals such as Edgefield’s Martin Witherspoon Gary and Matthew Calbraith Butler of the Wade Hampton Legion led paramilitary groups with many former Confederate soldiers. I also found younger men, too young to fight in the Civil War, but who rode with the Redshirts in 1876 and 1878 and who applied for the State of South Carolina’s Confederate War pensions! They believed Reconstruction was part of the Civil War.4 Instead, I mark the end of Reconstruction when the gains of freedom for African Americans during Reconstruction were legally undone, although this can vary as well since there were various sorts of Reconstruction—political is what we are mostly focusing on here, but there were social, cultural, economic, religious components of Recon- struction as well. In 1896 the Supreme Court in Plessy v. Ferguson sanctioned separate but equal; in 1898 the Court allowed voting disfranchisement in Williams v. Mississippi. After the Supreme Court gave

  • Antislavery Violence and Secession, October 1859
    ANTISLAVERY VIOLENCE AND SECESSION, OCTOBER 1859 – APRIL 1861 by DAVID JONATHAN WHITE GEORGE C. RABLE, COMMITTEE CHAIR LAWRENCE F. KOHL KARI FREDERICKSON HAROLD SELESKY DIANNE BRAGG A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2017 Copyright David Jonathan White 2017 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the collapse of southern Unionism between October 1859 and April 1861. This study argues that a series of events of violent antislavery and southern perceptions of northern support for them caused white southerners to rethink the value of the Union and their place in it. John Brown’s raid at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, and northern expressions of personal support for Brown brought the Union into question in white southern eyes. White southerners were shocked when Republican governors in northern states acted to protect members of John Brown’s organization from prosecution in Virginia. Southern states invested large sums of money in their militia forces, and explored laws to control potentially dangerous populations such as northern travelling salesmen, whites “tampering” with slaves, and free African-Americans. Many Republicans endorsed a book by Hinton Rowan Helper which southerners believed encouraged antislavery violence and a Senate committee investigated whether an antislavery conspiracy had existed before Harpers Ferry. In the summer of 1860, a series of unexplained fires in Texas exacerbated white southern fear. As the presidential election approached in 1860, white southerners hoped for northern voters to repudiate the Republicans. When northern voters did not, white southerners generally rejected the Union.

  • Wardlaw Family
    GENEALOGY OF THE WARDLAW FAMILY WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF OTHER FAMILIES WITH WHICH IT IS CONNECTED DATE MICROFILM GENEALOGICAL DEPARTMENT ITEM ON ROLL CAMERA NO CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS CATALOGUE NO. iKJJr/? 7-/02 ^s<m BY JOSEPH G. WARDLAW EXPLANATION OF CHARACTERS The letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H denote the generations beginning with Robert (Al). The large figures indicate the heads of families, or those especially mentioned in their generation. Each generation begins with 1 and continues in regular sequence. The small figures show number, according to birth, in each particular family. Children dying in infancy or early youth are not mentioned again in line with their brothers and sisters. As the work progressed, new material was received, which, in some measure, interfered with the plan above outlined. Many families named in the early generations have been lost in subsequent tracing, no information being available. By a little examination or study of the system, it will be found possible to trace the lineage of any person named in the book, through all generations back to Robert (Al). PREFACE For a number of years I mave been collecting data con­ cerning the Wardlaw and allied families. The work was un­ dertaken for my own satisfaction and pleasure, without thought of publication, but others learning of the material in my hands have urged that it be put into book form. I have had access to MSS. of my father and his brothers, Lewis, Frank and Robert, all practically one account, and presumably obtained from their father, James Wardlaw, who in turn doubtless received it from his father, Hugh.

Barringer August 2016 Copyright Whitney E. Barringer 2016 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The ideology of insane asylum reform, which emphasized the Enlightenment language of human rights and the humane treatment of the mentally ill, reached American shores in the early- mid-nineteenth century. When asylum reform began to disseminate throughout the United States, forward-thinking Mississippians latched onto the idea of the reformed asylum as a humane way to treat mentally ill Mississippians and to bolster the humanitarian image of a Southern slave society to its Northern critics. When the Mississippi State Lunatic Asylum opened in 1855, its superintendents were optimistic about the power of the state to meet mental healthcare needs.
