  • Haitian Revolution Strategy
    How to Win a War Without Even Shooting: Haitian Revolution Strategy Lynn Gourinski Fahr Overbrook High School Overview Rationale Objectives Strategies Classroom Activities Annotated Biographies/Works Cited/Resources Appendix/Content Standards Overview: The Haitian Revolution largely impacted world history albeit a small country. The war and the success of the enslaved peoples became the forerunner to modern anti- colonialism movements in the Third World and caused the world to pause and think. During the time of the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804), slaves outnumbered white slave owner’s 10:1.(Garrigus, 2006). The western Caribbean was alive with conquests and movement both socially and politically. It was also caught in a whirlwind of disease being brought from place to place-on ships and brought inland through the purchases of goods and slaves. Yellow Fever and Cholera wiped out thousands of persons in the Caribbean islands, many in just a few hours. But why was Haiti not as hard hit by cholera as other nations in the Caribbean. Why did Yellow Fever play such a pivotal role in the successful uprising of slaves? Many diseases might be prevented through good hygiene and development, while others were common to native peoples but wreaked havoc on troops employed to put down revolutions. Such was the case in Haiti, where of the 162,000 troops, up to 40,000 sent by Napoleon, were killed in attempts to reconquer the slaves and restore order in Haiti as Yellow Fever reared it's ugly head to kill many foreign invaders. (Peterson, 1995) Rationale: This curriculum can be taught in history classes for grades 7-12 in conjunction with a health class currently studying a universal hygiene unit.

  • "Amiable" Children of John and Sarah Livingston Jay by Louise V
    The "Amiable" Children of John and Sarah Livingston Jay by Louise V. North © Columbia's Legacy: Friends and Enemies in the New Nation Conference at Columbia University and The New-York Historical Society, Dec. 10, 2004 Sarah Jay wrote her husband [Oct. 1801]: "I have been rendered very happy by the company of our dear children . I often, I shd. say daily, bless God for giving us such amiable Children. May they long be preserved a blessing to us & to the community." Who were these 'amiable' children, and what were they like? The happy marriage of John and Sarah Jay produced six children: Peter Augustus, born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, in 1776; Susan, born and died in Madrid after only a few weeks of life, in 1780; Maria, born in Madrid in 1782; Ann, born in Paris in 1783, William and Sarah Louisa, born in NYC in 1789 and 1792 respectively. As you can see by the birthplaces of these children, their parents played active parts on the stage of independence, doing what needed to be done, wherever it needed to be done, at the end of a colonial era and the birth of a new nation. John Jay held a greater variety of posts than any other Founding Father, posts he insisted he did not seek but felt it his duty to his country to assume. Sarah Livingston Jay, brought up in a political household, was a strong support to her husband, astutely networking with the movers and shakers of the time (as a look at her Invitation Lists of 1787–1788 shows).

  • The Clarkson Family Of
    The Clarkson Family of Potsdam By Margurite Gurley Chapman POTSDAM, NEW YORK i958 f oPewoPd To the Reader: I have written this brief story of the Clarksons in Potsdam and their fore-bears in hopes it will answer some of the questions in your mind concerning the family. I suggest that the reader consult the accompanying geneology frequently as the names are often repeated and it is a problem to keep the various Davids, Matthews, Levinuses, Elizabeths and Ann Marys straight. It will help clarify the different families and their relationships. If you follow the spaces from left to right, you will be able to tell which Clarksons were in the same generation, which ones were brothers or whether they were cousins. I am indebted to Clarkson College for their cooperation in loan­ ing me material and pictures, to Mrs. Frederick Ramsdell for ma­ terial she obtained for me, to Mrs. Lloyd Keller, curator of the Potsdam Public Museum, for books and loans. My one regret is that more material is not available, but what there is, I hope you will find interesting. Marguerite Gurley Chapman June, 1958. "Holcroft'' as it was built by John C.

It is naturally occurring in Africa and South America, but the anthroponotic (vector-borne person-to-person) transmission of the virus may oc- cur wherever a suitable vector is present (Figure). Figure: Yellow Fever Endemic Zones in Africa (left) and South America (right) In the southern United States where A. aegypti is present, epidemics of urban yellow fever occurred.

For over 200 years it was a major killer in U.S. port cities (1,000 deaths in the last major epidemic in New Orleans in 1905). Elimination efforts un- dertaken in the early 1900s led to the complete elimination of yellow fever as an urban epidemic in the Americas in the 1930’s (the last urban American cases occurred in northeastern Brazil). This was one of the most successful eradication campaigns in public health. Sylvatic cycle The sylvatic cycle involves forest primates, principally monkeys and forest canopy mosquitoes.

    Yellow Fever – The Scourge Revealed Stanton E. Cope, Ph.D. Captain United States Navy Note to user: This text accompanies a Powerpoint presentation. When you see a red © in the text, it indicates that you should click the mouse . Slide 1 – Title The following story is that of a prolific and savage killer, yellow fever, and the events by which the veil of this terrible scourge was lifted. Some of the heroes’ names will be familiar to you but most will not. My presentation contains three parts: first, I will present a brief history of yellow fever and its impact on society; second, I will outline the experiments done in Cuba which elucidated the mode of transmission of this disease (C); and finally I will tell you about two young men and their heroic roles in one of the great medical discoveries of our time. Slide 2 – Cartoon of YF in the Americas We believe that yellow fever originated in Africa and made its first visit to the New World in the late 16th or early 17th century. For the next 300 years or so, the disease ravaged hundreds of cities in North America from Texas to Massachusetts as well as the Great Mississippi Valley. Each wave of pestilence was marked by economic shamble, human panic, and widespread death. From 1668 to 1893, there were 135 major epidemics in U.S. port cities. In 1793, yellow fever claimed 1 of every 10 Philadelphians, 1 a total of 4,000 dead. New Orleans, a frequent victim of attack, suffered 29,000 cases and over 8,000 dead in 1853.
