    The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964

    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

    Pell Grants for Prisoners Part Deux: It's Deja Vu All Over Again J

    Pell Grants for Prisoners Part Deux: It's Deja Vu All Over Again J. M. Taylor erhaps the most asinine amendment to the already mulish United PStates Omnibus Crime Bill (Currie, 1994) was submitted by Sena- tor Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) three days before the Senate over- whelmingly approved HR. 3355. On November 16, 1993, the junior senator from Texas stood before the most exclusive millionaires' club in the world and lamented that prisoners serving sentences "for offenses like carjacking, armed robbery, rape and arson received as much as $200 million in Pell [higher education] funds, courtesy of the American taxpayer" (Congressional Record - Senate, 1993). She explained to the august assembly that although the year before they had approved the Higher Education Reauthorization Act (HERA), which in part stipu- lated that prisoners serving death and life without parole sentences were prohibited from receiving Pell Grants, the current reduced prisoner eligi- bility was still "not right." Thus the senator's solution was to prohibit all state and federal prisoners from receiving Pell higher education grants. The senator was not alone in her discontent, nor the only legislator moved to action. Three weeks before, waving a copy of the Pottstown, PAMercury above his head, Representative Timothy Holden from Penn- sylvania fulminated before the C-SPAN cameras that he was appalled to learn from the newspaper's report that prisoners were receiving $200 million in Pell Grant funding, allowing them free college educations (Berkey, 1993A). ''There is an obligation to do the best you can to give incarcerated people a chance, but certainly not from a program that has been earmarked for low-income people to educate their children," explained the representative.

    Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology

    THE WAR OF 1812 MAGAZINE ISSUE 26 December 2016 Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology Compiled by Ralph Eshelman and Donald Hickey Introduction This War of 1812 Chronology includes all the major events related to the conflict beginning with the 1797 Jay Treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation between the United Kingdom and the United States of America and ending with the United States, Weas and Kickapoos signing of a peace treaty at Fort Harrison, Indiana, June 4, 1816. While the chronology includes items such as treaties, embargos and political events, the focus is on military engagements, both land and sea. It is believed this chronology is the most holistic inventory of War of 1812 military engagements ever assembled into a chronological listing. Don Hickey, in his War of 1812 Chronology, comments that chronologies are marred by errors partly because they draw on faulty sources and because secondary and even primary sources are not always dependable.1 For example, opposing commanders might give different dates for a military action, and occasionally the same commander might even present conflicting data. Jerry Roberts in his book on the British raid on Essex, Connecticut, points out that in a copy of Captain Coot’s report in the Admiralty and Secretariat Papers the date given for the raid is off by one day.2 Similarly, during the bombardment of Fort McHenry a British bomb vessel's log entry date is off by one day.3 Hickey points out that reports compiled by officers at sea or in remote parts of the theaters of war seem to be especially prone to ambiguity and error.

CLARK Librarian, Vermont Antiquarian Society. H With an Appendix containing names of Volunteers for the defence of Plattsburgh from Vermont towns, a description of the battle from con- temporaneous sources, the official statement of losses, and names of United States officers and soldiers at Burlington, Vermont, as shown on army pay and muster rolls recently brought to light. RESEARCH PUBLICATION COMPANy, Burlington and Boston, 1904, THE SHELDON PRESS, PRINTERS BURLINGTON, VT, • • » / pr PREFACE /6S HE Vermont Antiquarian Society has cour- teously permitted the publication of the inter- esting record kept by William G. Shaw of Burlington, Vt., during his activity as a pen- sion agent, so far as the notes relate to soldiers in the War of 1812. This record has particular value as it includes abstracts of the evidence presented by the claimant. There was no Ver- mont law requiring vital records to be kept by town clerks prior to 1840, hence attempts to learn the families of Vermont soldiers in either the Revolution or the War of 1812 frequently are futile. All who have had occasion to seek genealogical details in Vermont will realize the importance of this pension evidence. The Volunteers whose names are printed are from the towns of Burlington, Colchester, Huntington, Milton, Under- bill, Shelburne, Jericho, and Hinesburgh, and in all, number 189. The contemporaneous accounts of the battle were copied from the newspaper files in the Fletcher Free Library at Bur- lington.

    The Election of Women to the U.S. House of Representatives: Is Demography Destiny? Dennis Simon Barbara Palmer Southern Methodist University Baldwin Wallace University Political Science Department Political Science Department [email protected] [email protected] Presented at the Annual Meeting of the Southern Political Science Association, San Juan, Puerto Rico, January, 2016. 0 The Election of Women to the U.S. House of Representatives: Is Demography Destiny? Even a quick glance at the geographic distribution of the women in Congress suggests that there is a distinct political geography to the districts they represent: twenty-six of the eighty-four female US House members serving in 2015, or nearly one-third, were from California and New York. Eight more were from Florida. In other words, 40 percent of the women in the House came from only three states. Texas, with thirty-six districts, has only three women in its House delegation.1 Female Representatives are not randomly distributed across the country. Congressional districts in the United States vary widely in their demographic characteristics. Candidates rely heavily on demographic data to create their campaign strategies, and they often hire consulting firms to provide them with detailed profiles and suggestions for targeting voters in their districts. However, we know very little about the demographic characteristics of the districts where women have been successful candidates. Female candidates tend to cluster in particular districts, but what explains this? Can we identify the districts

These sites will require varying degrees of evaluation based upon the scope of the overall heritage tourism plan for the greater Plattsburgh area. The MRI’s role in this collaboration is to conduct a document review for each of the six historic sites as well as an archaeological assessment for Fort Brown and Valcour Island. The archaeological assessments will utilize KOCOA analysis outlined in the Battlefield Survey Manual of the American Battlefield Protection Program provided by the National Park Service.

  • The Battle of Plattsburg Flag 1814

    The Battle of Plattsburg Flag 1814

    The Battle of Plattsburg Flag 1814 Veteran Exempts Flag The Veteran Exempts, commanded by a Captain Melvin L. Woolsey, was a local New York militia company, formed in July of 1812, which was made up of veterans of the American Revolution who were otherwise exempt from military service because of their age. Many of the settlers in upstate New York (and Ohio) were veterans of the Revolutionary War and had been paid by grants of lands on the frontiers. By forming militia units they enabled the younger militia men to go off to war while they stayed to protect the local settlements. Like the Home Guard in Britain during the Second World War, they did provide a valuable reserve in a time of crisis. This Veteran Exempts flag may have been used at the Battle of Plattsburgh in upper New York. The Battle, also known as the Battle of Lake Champlain, ended the final British invasion attempt of the northern United States during the War of 1812. Fought shortly before the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, the American victory denied the British leverage to demand exclusive control over the Great Lakes and any territorial gains against the New England states. Little other information is available on the activities of the Veterans Exempts during the War of 1812. The Veterans Exempt flag was described in the Plattsburgh Republican, July 31, 1812, as having "...a black ground with 13 stars for the Union of White, wrought in silver. That in the centre of the Flag there he a Death's Head, with cross bones under, intimating what must soon, according to the course of nature, be their promiscuous fate, and the immediate one of any enemy who shall venture to contend with them.

    William Fletcher Cox David Bagwell’s Great, great grandfather [the grandfather of my grandfather J.W. Goff] M, b. 20 February 1834, d. 2 October 1911 William Fletcher Cox went by “Fletcher”. He was born on 20 February 1834 near Ozark, Dale County, Alabama. He was the son of William Cox Jr. and Milly Dowling. William Fletcher Cox married Martha Ann Bush, daughter of John Prescott Bush and Mary Frances Johnson, on 25 December 1853 at Skipperville, Dale County, Alabama. He was a member of the 53rd Alabama Regiment for the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. 1 On April 21, 1862, the Confederate Congress passed the Partisan Ranger Act. The law was intended as a stimulus for recruitment of irregulars for service into the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. On February 17, 1864 the Partisan Ranger Act was repealed after pressure from Robert E. Lee and other Confederate regulars persuaded Congress to repeal the act. Overview of the 53rd Regiment, Alabama Partisan Rangers: 53rd Regiment Partisan Rangers was organized at Montgomery, Alabama, in November, 1862. Two of its companies had seen prior service with the 7th Alabama Infantry Regiment. Men of this command were from the counties of Autauga, Lauderdale, Macon, Pike, Coosa, Tallapoosa, Dallas, Monroe, Wilcox, Lowndes, Dale, Coffee, and Montgomery. It first served in the District of the Gulf and in December contained 517 effectives. The unit was later assigned to Roddey's and M.W. Hannon's Brigade, Wheeler's Corps. The Unit saw action at Thompson's Station, Brentwood, and Town Creek, was involved at the Atlanta Campaign, then participated in the defense of Savannah and the campaign of the Carolinas.
