Signature ABSTRACT The American Eugenics Movement occurred within several decades of the twentieth century, and the perception of it as a solely race-based movement has been generally accepted. However, while eugenics utilized racism later against Black and Brown minorities, other methods of repression were used to alienate groups regardless of race. This thesis will explore the timeline of eugenic theory itself, as well as the socio-political movement behind it, to prove an evolution occurred. Three distinct eras of change in eugenic philosophy took place during this period. Mentalism, or Sanism, was first used in eugenic ideology before the 1920s and targeted the mentally ill and disabled. Nativism and xenophobia became popular during the late 1910s and early 1920s. From this point until after World War II, policies were enacted that labeled Southern and Eastern European Immigrants as “feebleminded” and barred their entry into the United States. The final era consisted of sterilizations on African Americans, Hispanics, and other minorities using racism linked to socio-economic status and enrollment on welfare rolls. The evolution of eugenic philosophy and policies occurred as new threats to the status quo emerged. While this (then) scientific theory was not rooted in racism when created, it relied heavily on classism in an effort to improve the human race. Throughout this period in the United States, the upper classes were the primary participants in eugenics. Many members were white and held classist, racist, and nativist views. These individuals altered eugenic philosophy and policy as needed to prevent national genetic stock from degrading. This was why the American Eugenics Movement evolved. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 1 Chapter I: “The Origins of Eugenics in Great Britain & Evolution in the United States” ........... 21 Chapter II: “1908-1924: Shifting from Mentalism to Nativism” ............................................... 50 Chapter III: “Fall of Formal Eugenics, Rise of Informal, & Shift to Anti-Black Racism” ......... 75 Conclusion: “Assessing How Eugenics Evolved & Impacted the United States”..................... 107 REFERENCES .......................................................................................................................... 113 APPENDIX A: Sterilization Spreadsheet: 1900-1964 .............................................................. 120 ii LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1: North Carolina Sterilizations on Women by Race & Time Period: 1929-1968 ......... 94 Figure 2: Sterilizations in Southern States Before 1943 ............................................................ 96 Figure 3: Sterilization Petitions From 1933-1949 ..................................................................... 96 Figure 4: Sterilization Petitions From 1950-1966 .................................................................... 99 Figure 5: Sterilizations in Southern States From 1950-1963 .................................................... 99 iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to Dr. Aiello, Dr. Block, Dr. Haggard, Dr. Rickman, and the entire History Department at Valdosta State University for supporting me and advising me when I felt so lost.

Next, I want to thank those who have been on this journey with me outside of academia. You listened at meals, during visits, long car rides, for countless and endless hours. Many of you stayed up till dawn to let me rant until the words made sense or helped me draw connections between subjects. I owe so much to you all. Lastly, I want to say thank you to Mama, John, and Gran. Though you could not complete the journey with me, I know you are proud and always watching. iv DEDICATION For my family, especially Mallory. Everyone has been a beacon of love and hope, but you my love have never left my side nor shown me an ounce of anger (even when I deserved it). v INTRODUCTION The 20th century was one of the most influential eras in American history, and during this period several movements contributed to fundamental changes in our society, political policies, and culture. While most of these events are heralded as moments of progress and improvement to the nation, not all can share this title. The American eugenics movement was one such crusade. Its existence in our history has been a stain many have preferred to see fade, something that appears to be slowly occurring outside post-secondary institutions. This socio- political movement supplied the foundation and justification behind scientific racism as well as increased societal division based on intelligence, class, race, and gender within the United States. Eugenics and the American eugenics movement are deeply ingrained elements of American history. Unfortunately, this topic has only slight perceived relevance to the modern population. The effects it had on this nation and the world have largely been forgotten, with few exceptions. This thesis examines eugenic history and historiography to prove several points. First, this philosophy was not solely entrenched in racism, and that classism played a much larger role in its origins. The theory was used in order to determine how improvements should be made to humanity. Second, Galtonian eugenics was fundamentally altered after its arrival to the United States by Charles Davenport and his followers. Third, racial minorities were not the initial targets of American eugenic policies, but rather the mentally ill, deficient, and impaired. Fourth, the evolution of eugenic policies affected multiple groups, increasingly becoming more race-based from the 1910s until it reached a zenith after World War II. This thesis explores the eugenics movement in the United States in an effort to understand how and 1 why this philosophy evolved from a science intended to improve humanity into a race-based ideology that caused the sterilization and deaths of many throughout the century. The history and historiography of this ideology have not been given the appropriate attention by the public despite the constant, albeit unknown, interaction with its teachings. Those who have studied eugenics recognize it in society, entertainment, politics, policies, and especially in American history. Despite the considerable impacts made in this country and others, eugenics has an insignificant appearance in current history books. Thomas Cargill’s article, “Eugenics in High School History: Failure to Confront the Past” illustrated this point clearly. Cargill analyzed nine textbooks published by the top three K-12 publishers (McGraw- Hill, Pearson, and Houghton Mifflin) and determined that less than half included any information on the American eugenics movement. When it was mentioned, it was only around a paragraph in length and was primarily in relation to the immigration policy of the 1920s. Cargill stated that beyond this, “none of the reviewed textbooks includes a broad-based discussion of eugenics in the United States.”1 Most of these editions have been in publication since the late 1990s and material has been recycled in the newer versions as well. This reveals that teaching about eugenics before the college level has largely been neglected for decades. Because of this, public awareness concerning the depth this philosophy has in society is fading. This work then attempts to uphold this portion of American history, as well as to provide a functional evolutionary timeline based on the works of multiple experts. It is important to note that specific eras in historiography share similar decades with the eras of evolutionary shifts

  • Sanism and the Law Michael L
    Virtual Mentor American Medical Association Journal of Ethics October 2013, Volume 15, Number 10: 878-885. MEDICINE AND SOCIETY Sanism and the Law Michael L. Perlin, JD “Sanism,” an irrational prejudice against people with mental illness, is of the same quality and character as other irrational prejudices such as racism, sexism, homophobia, and ethnic bigotry that cause (and are reflected in) prevailing social attitudes [1, 2]. It infects both our jurisprudence and our lawyering practices. Sanism is largely invisible and largely socially acceptable. It is based predominantly upon stereotype, myth, superstition, and deindividualization and is sustained and perpetuated by our use of alleged “ordinary common sense” (OCS) and heuristic reasoning in irrational responses to events in both everyday life and the legal process [3, 4]. I have written extensively about the roots of the assumptions that are made by the legal system about persons with mental disabilities. These mistaken assumptions include: that people with mental illness are erratic, deviant, sexually uncontrollable, emotionally unstable, superstitious, lazy, and ignorant; that they demonstrate a primitive morality; they are invariably more dangerous than persons without mental illness, and such dangerousness is easily and accurately identified by experts; that for a person in treatment for mental illness to decline to take prescribed antipsychotic medication is an excellent predictor of (1) future dangerousness and (2) need for involuntary institutionalization; that people with mental illness should be segregated in large, distant institutions because their presence threatens the economic and social stability of residential communities; that they give in too easily to their basest instincts and do not exercise appropriate self-restraint [5].

Sander Hölsgens finds a detailed and reflective account covering the rise and fall of eugenics. The Myth of Race: The Troubling Persistence of an Unscientific Idea. Robert Wald Sussman. Harvard University Press. 2014. Find this book: In The Myth of Race, Robert Wald Sussman describes, locates, and contextualises the history of eugenics, or the infamous attempts to prove that ‘race’ is a biological reality. Sussman’s main argument is that ‘race’ is, instead, a cultural invention, which has far- reaching implications in and outside of academia. It is, for example, worth reconsidering what it might mean that “modern moral theory and moral racial theory have the same father” (p.30). Immanuel Kant, Sussman suggests, proposes a racial philosophy – and has become one of the most influential racists of all times. In the second chapter, Sussman discusses the birth of eugenics, the brainchild of Francis Galton (1822-1911). Galton, a cousin of Charles Darwin, “coined the term eugenics in 1883 from the Greek words for ‘well-being’ and based the concept on some of Darwin’s writing” (p.49). Through a statistics based methodology Galton tried to prove a couple of things. First, that the notion of ‘race’ is real, and second, that there is such a thing as racial differences.

Holmes: The Colonial Roots of the Racial Fetishization of Black Women The Colonial Era: The narrative of New World imperialism was eroticized by rhetoric that sexualized the imperialist practices of European colonizers. Documentation of the British conquest is riddled with language that suggests the sexual nature of the land and of its discovery. In his travel logs, Columbus suggested that the earth is shaped like a woman’s breast (Mclinktok, 2001). The New World was frequently described as “virgin land” by colonizers, wrongly suggesting an empty and uninhabited territory (Mclinktok, 2001). This patriarchal narrative of imperialization depicts the New World through rhetoric normally ascribed to women, suggesting the land’s passive and submissive nature, awaiting the conquest of men. This romancization was used to validate the conquest of the land itself, precluding the sexualization of the women made victim by these imperialist mindsets.

  • How White Supremacy Returned to Mainstream Politics
    GETTY CORUM IMAGES/SAMUEL How White Supremacy Returned to Mainstream Politics By Simon Clark July 2020 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG How White Supremacy Returned to Mainstream Politics By Simon Clark July 2020 Contents 1 Introduction and summary 4 Tracing the origins of white supremacist ideas 13 How did this start, and how can it end? 16 Conclusion 17 About the author and acknowledgments 18 Endnotes Introduction and summary The United States is living through a moment of profound and positive change in attitudes toward race, with a large majority of citizens1 coming to grips with the deeply embedded historical legacy of racist structures and ideas. The recent protests and public reaction to George Floyd’s murder are a testament to many individu- als’ deep commitment to renewing the founding ideals of the republic. But there is another, more dangerous, side to this debate—one that seeks to rehabilitate toxic political notions of racial superiority, stokes fear of immigrants and minorities to inflame grievances for political ends, and attempts to build a notion of an embat- tled white majority which has to defend its power by any means necessary. These notions, once the preserve of fringe white nationalist groups, have increasingly infiltrated the mainstream of American political and cultural discussion, with poi- sonous results. For a starting point, one must look no further than President Donald Trump’s senior adviser for policy and chief speechwriter, Stephen Miller. In December 2019, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch published a cache of more than 900 emails2 Miller wrote to his contacts at Breitbart News before the 2016 presidential election.

  • Fractured Circles of Race: a Heuristic Model for Teaching About Racial Categorization in Anthropological and Historical Perspective
    Fractured Circles of Race 1 Fractured Circles of Race: A Heuristic Model for Teaching about Racial Categorization in Anthropological and Historical Perspective Robert Shanafelt Georgia Southern University This paper presents a heuristic model for teaching about human variation and transformations of concepts of race over time. It suggests that key aspects of the complexities related to the topic can be fruitfully discussed by making use of the image of a feedback loop between folk models and scientific models of human kinds and human variations. In order to elucidate this discussion, a brief review of the history of racial thinking and some current ideas about race, genetics, and biomedicine are also presented. Anthropology since its inception has been engaged in research and debate about the meaning and validity of racial categories. While the reality of race was once taken for granted, in recent years the view that “race is not an accurate or productive way to describe human biological variation” (Edgar and Hunley 2009: 2) has become widespread. Indeed, recent surveys and official statements from professional associations suggest that the pioneering critiques of traditional racial assumptions made by Franz Boas (1940 [1995]), Ashley Montague (1942 [2008]), and Frank Livingstone (1962) have been widely accepted among anthropologists in North America, although they have had uneven influence elsewhere (Lieberman et al. 2004; American Anthropological Association [AAA] 1998; American Association of Physical Anthropologists, 1996).1My concern here, though, is not to discuss this development in all its detail. Rather, it is to provide a manageable 1 Some have suggested that the consensus view in North America has begun to unravel with the advent of findings from current human genome research (A.M.

The concept of forced sterilization emerged during the American Eugenics Movement of the early 20th century. In 1909, California became one of the first states to introduce eugenic laws which legalized the forced sterilization of those deemed “feeble-minded.” The victims were mentally ill patients in psychiatric state hospitals, individuals who suffered from epilepsy and autism, and prisoners with criminal convictions, all of whom were forcibly castrated.

  • Neurodiversity Studies
    Neurodiversity Studies Building on work in feminist studies, queer studies, and critical race theory, this vol• ume challenges the universality of propositions about human nature, by questioning the boundaries between predominant neurotypes and ‘others’, including dyslexics, autistics, and ADHDers. This is the first work of its kind to bring cutting-edge research across disciplines to the concept of neurodiversity. It offers in-depth explorations of the themes of cure/ prevention/eugenics; neurodivergent wellbeing; cross-neurotype communication; neu• rodiversity at work; and challenging brain-bound cognition. It analyses the role of neuro-normativity in theorising agency, and a proposal for a new alliance between the Hearing Voices Movement and neurodiversity. In doing so, we contribute to a cultural imperative to redefine what it means to be human. To this end, we propose a new field of enquiry that finds ways to support the inclusion of neurodivergent perspectives in knowledge production, and which questions the theoretical and mythological assump• tions that produce the idea of the neurotypical. Working at the crossroads between sociology, critical psychology, medical humani• ties, critical disability studies, and critical autism studies, and sharing theoretical ground with critical race studies and critical queer studies, the proposed new field – neurodiversity studies – will be of interest to people working in all these areas. Hanna Bertilsdotter Rosqvist is an Associate Professor in Sociology and currently a Senior Lecturer in Social work at Södertörn University. Her recent research is around autism, identity politics, and sexual, gendered, and age normativity. She is the former Chief Editor of Scandinavian Journal of Disability Research.

Darwinian Morality “One of the effects of civilization is to diminish the rigour of the application of the law of natural selection. It preserves weakly lives that would have perished in barbarous lands.” “The question was then forced upon me: Could not the race of men be similarly improved?

(Signature)............................................................................................................. 2 3 Abstract There has long been a connection between the concept of utopia as a perfect society and the desire for perfect humans to live in this society. A form of selective breeding takes place in many fictional utopias from Plato’s Republic onwards, but it is only with the naming and promotion of eugenics by Francis Galton in the late nineteenth century that eugenics becomes a consistent and important component of utopian fiction. In my introduction I argue that behind the desire for eugenic fitness within utopias resides a sense that human nature needs improving. Darwin’s Origin of Species (1859) prompted fears of degeneration, and eugenics was seen as a means of restoring purpose and control. Chapter Two examines the impact of Darwin’s ideas on the late nineteenth-century utopia through contrasting the evolutionary fears of Samuel Butler’s Erewhon (1872) with Edward Bellamy’s more positive view of the potential of evolution in Looking Backward (1888).
