  • The History of Economic Inequality in Illinois

    The History of Economic Inequality in Illinois

    The History of Economic Inequality in Illinois 1850 – 2014 March 4, 2016 Frank Manzo IV, M.P.P. Policy Director Illinois Economic Policy Institute www.illinoisepi.org The History of Economic Inequality in Illinois EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Illinois Economic Policy Institute study is the first ever historical analysis of economic inequality in Illinois. Illinois blossomed from a small agricultural economy into the transportation, manufacturing, and financial hub of the Midwest. Illinois has had a history of sustained population growth. Since 2000, the state’s population has grown by over 460,000 individuals. As of 2014, 63 percent of Illinois’ population resides in a metropolitan area and 24 percent have a bachelor’s degree or more – both historical highs. The share of Illinois’ population that is working has increased over time. Today, 66 percent of Illinois’ residents are in the labor force, up from 57 percent just five decades ago. Employment in Illinois has shifted, however, to a service economy. While one-third of the state’s workforce was in manufacturing in 1950, the industry only employs one-in-ten Illinois workers today. As manufacturing has declined, so too has the state’s labor movement: Illinois’ union coverage rate has fallen by 0.3 percentage points per year since 1983. The decade with the lowest property wealth inequality and lowest income inequality in Illinois was generally the 1960s. In these years, the Top 1 Percent of homes were 2.2 times as valuable as the median home and the Top 1 Percent of workers earned at least 3.4 times as much as the median worker.

    “YEA, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH;” MORTUARY AND MATERIAL CULTURE PATTERNING AT THE DONELSON SLAVE CEMETERY (40DV106), DAVIDSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE by Dan Sumner Allen IV A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History Middle Tennessee State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. C. Van West, Chair Dr. Mary S. Hoffschwelle Dr. James Beeby ABSTRACT “YEA, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH;” MORTUARY AND MATERIAL CULTURE PATTERNING AT THE DONELSON SLAVE CEMETERY (40DV106), DAVIDSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE By Dan Sumner Allen IV The Hermitage Springs Site (40DV551) was a prehistoric aboriginal aggregation site discovered in 2001 during grading for residential development in northeastern Davidson County, Tennessee. From 2004 to 2006, archaeologists relocated more than 300 prehistoric burials as well as over 400 non-mortuary features from the site. In addition to prehistoric archaeological deposits, archaeologists excavated sixty historic burials thought to be associated with a community of slaves from the western edge of the site. This thesis presents historic archaeological research on those historic African- American burials, perhaps one of the earliest, excavated slave cemeteries in the Cumberland Region. By developing an environmental and historical context for the cemetery, combined with an analysis of its mortuary and material culture patterns, the author identified general patterns and date ranges for the burials, thus shedding new light on burial practices afforded marginalized slave populations in late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Tennessee. The author compared the archaeological data to other professional excavation projects in the region.
  • Former Governors of Illinois

    Former Governors of Illinois

    FORMER GOVERNORS OF ILLINOIS Shadrach Bond (D-R*) — 1818-1822 Illinois’ first Governor was born in Maryland and moved to the North - west Territory in 1794 in present-day Monroe County. Bond helped organize the Illinois Territory in 1809, represented Illinois in Congress and was elected Governor without opposition in 1818. He was an advo- cate for a canal connecting Lake Michigan and the Illinois River, as well as for state education. A year after Bond became Gov ernor, the state capital moved from Kaskaskia to Vandalia. The first Illinois Constitution prohibited a Governor from serving two terms, so Bond did not seek reelection. Bond County was named in his honor. He is buried in Chester. (1773- 1832) Edward Coles (D-R*) — 1822-1826 The second Illinois Governor was born in Virginia and attended William and Mary College. Coles inherited a large plantation with slaves but did not support slavery so he moved to a free state. He served as private secretary under President Madison for six years, during which he worked with Thomas Jefferson to promote the eman- cipation of slaves. He settled in Edwardsville in 1818, where he helped free the slaves in the area. As Governor, Coles advocated the Illinois- Michigan Canal, prohibition of slavery and reorganization of the state’s judiciary. Coles County was named in his honor. He is buried in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (1786-1868) Ninian Edwards (D-R*) — 1826-1830 Before becoming Governor, Edwards was appointed the first Governor of the Illinois Territory by President Madison, serving from 1809 to 1818. Born in Maryland, he attended college in Pennsylvania, where he studied law, and then served in a variety of judgeships in Kentucky.

Kimball Central Publications Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Illinois ©2014 Southern Illinois University Edwardsville 2nd edition, revised and enlarged, May, 1966 FOREWORD In the course of developing a book and manuscript collection and in providing reference service to students and faculty, a univeristy library frequently prepares special bibliographies, some of which may prove to be of more than local interest. The Bibliographic Contributions series, of which this is the first number, has been created as a means of sharing the results of such biblio­ graphic efforts with our colleagues in other universities. The contribu­ tions to this series will appear at irregular intervals, will vary widely in subject matter and in comprehensiveness, and will not necessarily follow a uniform bibliographic format. Because many of the contributions will be by-products of more extensive research or will be of a tentative nature, the series is presented in this format. Comments, additions, and corrections will be welcomed by the compilers. The author of the initial contribution in the series is Associate Professor of History of Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, Illinois. He has been engaged in research on the Nauvoo period of the Mormon Church since he came to the university in 1959 and has published numerous articles on this subject.
