  • Health, Race, and the Environment in the British Greater Caribbean
    Atlantic Bodies: Health, Race, and the Environment in the British Greater Caribbean Katherine Johnston Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Katherine Johnston All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Atlantic Bodies: Health, Race, and the Environment in the British Greater Caribbean Katherine Johnston This dissertation examines the relationship between race and bodily health in the British West Indies and the Carolina/Georgia Lowcountry from the late seventeenth through the early nineteenth century. In the eighteenth century, planters often justified African slavery by claiming that Africans, unlike Europeans, had bodies particularly suited to labor in warm climates. Historians have tended to take these claims as evidence of a growing sense of biological race in plantation societies. Much of this work, though, relies on published sources. This dissertation examines these public sources, including medical manuals, natural histories, and political pamphlets, alongside private sources, particularly the personal correspondence of planters and slaveholders to uncover a different story of race and slavery. These two source types reveal significant discrepancies between planters’ public rhetoric and private beliefs about health, race, and the environment in plantation societies. First, correspondence between the Greater Caribbean and Britain demonstrates that health and disease did not contribute to the development of racial slavery in the Atlantic. Second, these sources show how and why planters manipulated public conceptions of climate and health to justify and maintain a system of racial slavery. Planters insisted on climate-based arguments for slavery in spite of their experiences in the Americas, rather than because of them.

  • GEORGIA COLONY Reading Comprehension
    GEORGIA COLONY Reading Comprehension The colony of Georgia, located directly in between the English colony of South Carolina and the Spanish colony of Florida, was the subject of frequent military invasions by both sides until the Yamasee War (1715–1716) left the area devoid of people. In 1732, James Oglethorpe received a royal charter for the Province of Georgia. It was named after King George I. Oglethorpe imagined the area as a refuge for England's poor people, who were crowded together in debtors’ prisons. In 1733, 116 settlers arrived in modern-day Savannah aboard the HMS Anne. Georgia would become the last of the English colonies in the New World. Soon, immigrants throughout the world came to Georgia in the hopes of being awarded generous land grants, and Georgia quickly become a major center for the export of rice, indigo, beef, and pork. In 1742, British forces, under James Oglethorpe, attacked a garrison of Spanish soldiers near present-day St. Simon's Island in what came to be known as the Battle of Bloody Run. After about an hour, the Spanish were defeated and permanently abandoned their attempts to invade Georgia. 1.) Why was Georgia the subject of many 6.)

Mirow Florida International University College of Law, Miami, Florida, USA [email protected] Summary Legal historians have surmised that court records of the British province of East Florida (1763-1783) have been either lost or destroyed. This assumption was based on the poor conditions for survival of documents in Florida and statements made in the secondary literature on the province. Nonetheless, a significant number of documents related to the courts of British East Florida exist in the National Archives (Kew). These materials reveal an active legal culture using English law in a wide range of courts including (1) the Court of Common Pleas; (2) the Court of Chancery; (3) the Court of General Sessions of the Peace, Oyer et Terminer, Assize and General Gaol Delivery; (4) Special Courts of Oyer et Terminer; (5) the Court of Vice-Admiralty; (6) the Court of Ordinary; (7) the General Court; and (8) a District Court. This article studies a portion of the documents related to the Court of Common Pleas to describe the nature of the court’s practice in civil litigation.

  • BORDERS and RUMORS: the GEORGIA FRONTIER in the ATLANTIC WORLD by SHANE ALAN RUNYON a DISSERTATION PRESENTED to the GRADUATE
    BORDERS AND RUMORS: THE GEORGIA FRONTIER IN THE ATLANTIC WORLD By SHANE ALAN RUNYON A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2005 Copyright 2005 by Shane Alan Runyon This dissertation is dedicated to Stacy and the gatitos. Thanks for the patience. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS When I began working on this project I knew the endeavor would take time, but I never imagined how much time it would take. Despite the additional hours, weeks, and months this project would not have been completed without the assistance of my committee and colleagues. First, I would like to thank Dr. Jon Sensbach (my supervisory committee chair) for the hours he spent on this dissertation. His support and calming reassurance made this process much easier than I ever imagined. I would also like to thank committee members Bertram Wyatt-Brown, Kathleen Deagan, Murdo Macleod, and Juliana Barr. Although Dr. Deagan is probably unaware of this, the inspiration for this dissertation began when I was 18 and took a part- time job as a site interpreter on one of her many archaeological excavations in St. Augustine, Florida. The pleasure I experienced in working on the Cubo Line excavation sparked my interest in Spanish Florida. For this, I will be forever grateful. Dr. Macleod offered extremely useful advice throughout my graduate career. I am honored to have been his student and I am truly impressed with his ability to spot the misplaced comma or missing accent mark; and his ability to point out the latest research on a particular topic.

  • Shaping the Altamaha: a Spatial History of Saint Simons Island at Two Scales
    Shaping the Altamaha: A Spatial History of Saint Simons Island at Two Scales Alexander Marshall Humes Arroyo Grande, California BS, United States Military Academy, 2009 A Thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Mater of Arts Department of History University of Virginia May, 2018 Humes 1 When Georgia planter and land speculator Jonathan Bryan visited Fort Frederica on Saint Simons Island in 1753 he found it “all in ruins.” The decline of the settlement, which was the “key of the Bahama Straights and Gulf of Florida,” and “the means of preserving. Carolina and Georgia,” nearly moved him to tears. Originally built in 1736, the fort was meant to protect the town of Frederica, one of the southernmost British settlements. It fulfilled this role in 1742 when a collection of Indians, white militia, and British regulars repulsed a Spanish invasion of Georgia. British officials’ eyes turned to other threats after the end of hostilities in the late 1740s ending the island’s place in the struggle of empires.1 By reconstructing two spatial perspectives of this single site, this essay will examine the battle between the British and Spanish empires over jurisdiction in coastal Georgia. That conflict focused on Saint Simons Island and the mouth of the Altamaha River. Each side in this conflict envisioned the island serving divergent plans to command space in the North American Southeast through fortification, trade, and settlement. Each side sought to demonstrate control of the island through acts of occupation. To the British, Saint Simons Island represented a barrier to French and Spanish territorial expansion, a contributor to British mercantilism, a site for a new colony on the North American continent, and a forward base for offensives against the Spanish colony of Florida.

  • The First Franchise David Gurnick*
    The First Franchise David Gurnick* I. Introduction Franchising has ancient roots.1 In medieval times, fran- chises were rights granted by the sovereign.2 Eventually, the term and concept came to refer to private business agreements.3 In the United States, business franchising is usually considered to have begun in the late 1800s and early 1900s.4 Then, in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, Mr. Gurnick 1. See, e.g., Shorter v. Smith, 9 Ga. 517 (1851) (describing “ancient doctrine in England” that franchises were impliedly grants of exclusive rights, but, in the United States, exclusivity is not implied). 2. See, e.g., Bank of Augusta v. Earle, 38 U.S. 519, 585 (1839) (“Franchises are special priv- ileges conferred by government upon individuals, and which do not belong to the citizens of the country generally of common right . It is essential to the character of a franchise that it should be a grant from the sovereign. .”); State v. Real Estate Bank, 5 Ark. 595, 599 (1844) (franchises are contracts between the sovereign power and a private citizen); People ex rel Attor- ney Gen. v. Utica Ins. Co., 15 Johns. 358, 368 (N.Y. 1818) (“A franchise is a royal privilege, or branch of the royal prerogative, subsisting in the hands of the subject, by grant from the crown.”); see also, e.g., Paul Vinogradoff, English Society in the Eleventh Century, Essays in English Mediaeval History 108−39 (2013) (discussing franchises in medieval times and noting that “all the well-known franchises or liberties of the feudal age were chips from the block of Royal authority”); Frederick Pollock & Frederic William Maitland, The History of English Law Before the Time of Edward I 6, 124, 144 , 221, 454−56, 495, 518, 519, 521, 532, 577, 586 (2d ed.

  • Murder and Mayhem: How the Creek Murders Affected British Policy on Indian Affairs in Georgia During the American Revolution
    Journal of Backcountry Studies Murder and Mayhem: How the Creek Murders Affected British Policy on Indian Affairs in Georgia during the American Revolution BY KELSEY GRIFFIN On that infamous date of December 16, 1773 a group of disgruntled Whigs disguised as Native Americans protested the tax on British tea by quietly dumping boxes of the precious commodity into the dark and gloomy waters of Boston Harbor. The incident, which came to be known as the Boston Tea Party, has received a great deal of attention by historians of the Revolution as it inaugurated a year of heightened tension between the rebel colonists and the British administration. More precisely, it prompted the passage of the Coercive or “Intolerable” Acts in Massachusetts Bay. As significant as these turns of events are, when historians focus too much of their attention on the vicinity of New England, they miss a significant part of the pre-Revolutionary story. Less than ten days after the famed Boston Tea Party transpired, another dramatic incident unfolded further South—one which greatly attenuated America’s already estranged relationship with the Crown, thereby pushing the colonies one step closer to Independence. December 25, 1773. A hunting party of six Creek Indians from the Lower Creek town of Coweta attacked and murdered a man named William White and his family at their new settlement on the Ogeechee River in the colony of Georgia. Less than one month later, a larger party of about twenty Coweta Creek Indians conducted a second raid. This time, the roving band killed a man named Shirrol along with four other white males and two black slaves.

In this work I present a method for locating linked data to preserve which functions even when the URI the user wishes to preserve does not resolve (i.e. is broken/not RDF) and an application for monitoring and preserving the data. This work is based upon the principle of adapting ideas from hypermedia link integrity in order to apply them to the Semantic Web.
