  • Historic Context
    3.0 HISTORIC CONTEXT 3.1 Overview of Ohio, 1940–1950 During World War II, Ohio experienced significant industrial development and population growth. The state’s diversified industrial base and geographical proximity to transportation routes and other population centers made it well suited for wartime production needs. The industrial development and consequential economic prosperity generated during World War II shaped Ohio’s economic, cultural, and social history for decades thereafter. The United States resisted involvement in World War II from 1939 through much of 1941. Even as the Axis powers swept through Europe and eastern Asia, American isolationists insisted that the U.S. had no key interests at stake. At President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s urging, Congress enacted a “cash and carry” policy in 1939, allowing the U.S. to supply goods to any nation that could pay cash and carry the goods away (Knepper 2003:367). While providing great assistance to Great Britain and its allies, the program also offered economic benefits to the U.S., which remained enmeshed in the Great Depression. More importantly, it began the process of shifting American industries to a wartime footing. In September 1940, Congress established the first peacetime military draft in the nation’s history. The Ohio National Guard was activated and designated the 37th Division. Guard units traveled to Camp Shelby, Mississippi, for training. In Columbus, Fort Hayes served as a reception center for military draftees and recruits and was staffed by 2,000 troops in its own right (Fort Hayes Metropolitan Education Center 2010). Roosevelt, a Democrat, handily won Ohio in the November 1940 presidential election, but Republicans dominated the state government and the Congressional delegation.

ISSN 1093-9652 ©2020 The Smithfield Review Printed in the United States of America by McNaughton & Gunn ii Messages from Our Publishers The Smithfield Saga The story of William Preston’s Smithfield is quintessentially American, with all the excitement and optimism that defines such a saga, but also with the darkness and troubles that so often, perhaps necessarily, accompany the good. Smithfield’s patriarch, Col. William Preston, was an Irish immigrant who followed in the footsteps of his already successful immigrant uncle, James Patton. In the wilds of the Virginia frontier, William became a successful surveyor and militiaman. In 1755, Colonel Preston inherited a large portion of Draper’s Meadows (in what is now Blacksburg, Virginia) from Patton, who was killed when indigenous peoples attacked Draper’s Meadows.

  • Methodists, Secession, and the Civil War in Western Virginia, 1845-1872
    Enemies of the State: Methodists, Secession, and the Civil War in Western Virginia, 1845-1872 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Tyler Foulds, M. A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Randolph A. Roth, Advisor Dr. Alan Gallay Dr. John Brooke Copyright by Matthew Tyler Foulds 2012 Abstract Situated on the contested border between the North and South, western Virginia is an ideal case for analyzing how ministerial leaders inspired disaffected citizens. Western Virginians, relegated to the fringe of a state political structure dominated by eastern Virginia‘s slaveholding oligarchy, believed that their political system had failed them. They felt powerless to institute the political and economic reforms necessary to develop their region in the image of free-soil Ohio and Pennsylvania. Unable to seek redress through their political leaders, westerners turned to the traveling ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church (MEC) to voice their discontent. MEC ministers actively defended western interests and cloaked them in a moral legitimacy that broadened their appeal to previously apathetic, isolated residents. Their ministry drew a fierce response from their opponent, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (MECS). The MEC repelled these attacks and by 1861 far outpaced the MECS in members and political influence and boasted a following larger than any political party in the region. When conservative political leaders abandoned their offices and embraced the Confederacy upon the outbreak of the Civil War, MEC itinerants filled the void in political leadership, held western Virginia in the Union, and championed its statehood.

  • TOP SECRET with ORCON. 'The World Is Divided in to Three Classes
    TOP SECRET with ORCON. 'The world is divided in to three classes of people: a very small group that makes things happen, a somewhat larger group that watches things happen, and the great multitude which never knows what happened.' Nicholas Murray Butler, J.P. Morgan and Company The Battelle family was distinguished. Gordon Battelle's ancestor, Thomas, was a member of the Massachusetts Bay Colony; and his name was entered on the rolls at Dedham, Mass., in 1648. The men in his family graduated from prestigious colleges, served in the Revolutionary forces, and were entrepreneurs. His grandfather and namesake, the first Gordon Battelle, was a member of the 1861 convention that framed the constitution of the new state of West Virginia — and is credited with being largely responsible for the abolition of slavery in that region. 1876 Telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Watson Born on August 10, 1883, Gordon Battelle grew up in affluent surroundings and became an industrial leader. In the early 1900s, most industries did not invest in research. If they did, it was in small laboratories that performed routine tests. Gordon Battelle's vision was to find a way to provide high-quality research to industry. Further, he believed that the research could provide ways to improve people's quality of life. 1886 - Discovery of an inexpensive process for aluminum production by Charles Martin Hall. 1901 - Carnegie sells his steel company for $250 million and guess to whom?
