    Archaeological and Historical Investigations of Site 41AS95, a Mid-Nineteenth-Century Salt Works on St. Charles Bay, Texas by Jennifer C. Hatchett, B.A. A Thesis In ANTHROPOLOGY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS Approved Dr. Tamra L. Walter Chair Dr. Brett A. Houk Dr. Robert R. Paine Fred Hartmeister Dean of the Graduate School December, 2008 Texas Tech University, Jennifer C. Hatchett, December 2008 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project would not have been possible without the assistance of a huge number of people. I am certain to miss some individuals who were extremely helpful; for any I omit, my apologies and thanks. I must first thank my advisor, Dr. Tamra L. Walter, and my other committee members, Dr. Brett A. Houk and Dr. Robert R. Paine. The Texas Archeological Society helped to finance the project through a Donor’s Fund Grant in 2005. In Aransas County, Al and Diane Johnson made this project possible in many ways and provided support and enthusiasm throughout the process. Texas would be a better state for archaeology if there were more land owners like the Johnsons. Pat Braun, the archeological steward for Aransas County, provided assistance and advice. Many other individuals in the Rockport/Fulton area were also very helpful, including specifically Pam Wheat and Phil Stranahan as well as the Aransas County Historical Society. I also am deeply indebted to the Texas Tech University anthropology students who assisted with fieldwork: Cody Ames, James Barrera, Matthew Carter, Beverly Hatchett, Rebecca Hatchett, Jennifer Heuss, Bennett Kimbell, Kenneth LeCroy, Brittany McClain, Kimberly Morgan, Aaron Norment, Antonio Padilla, Daniel Rose, and Lindsey Skelton.

    Essential Civil War Curriculum | Clint Johnson, Post-War Treatment of High-Ranking Confederates | September 2020 Post-War Treatment of High-Ranking Confederates By Clint Johnson echnically, the shooting stopped at the Battle of Palmito Ranch, near Brownsville, Texas, on May 13, 1865. Except for the occupying Union forces stationed around the South for T nearly a decade during Reconstruction, most of the common soldiers on both sides put down their muskets and headed home. The difficult and emotional job of putting the country back together lay ahead, made even more explosive with the assassination of President Lincoln less than a month before the last shots were fired. Even if Lincoln had lived, the clash between him and Congress over the future of the nation would have been colossal President Lincoln had spent years developing his plans for reunion, but the Radical Republicans in Congress and in his own cabinet had their own ideas. As early as December 1863 Lincoln had proposed allowing Southern states to begin reconstituting their state governments when 10 percent of the 1860 voters had sworn loyalty oaths to the United States. The Radicals feared that so little proof of loyalty would allow the aristocrats to retain their power and their slaves. Lincoln tried taking a high, if vague road to reconciliation, at least when talking to the general public. When he gave his second inaugural address on March 4, 1865, a time when all remaining Confederate armies were clearly inferior to overwhelming Union forces, the President seemed to imply that he was ready to welcome the rebelling states back with open arms.
