Arkansas Moves Toward Secession and War
RICE UNIVERSITY WITH HESITANT RESOLVE: ARKANSAS MOVES TOWARD SECESSION AND WAR BY JAMES WOODS A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS Dr.. Frank E. Vandiver Houston, Texas ABSTRACT This work surveys the history of ante-bellum Arkansas until the passage of the Ordinance of Secession on May 6, 186i. The first three chapters deal with the social, economic, and politicai development of the state prior to 1860. Arkansas experienced difficult, yet substantial .social and economic growth during the ame-belium era; its percentage of population increase outstripped five other frontier states in similar stages of development. Its growth was nevertheless hampered by the unsettling presence of the Indian territory on its western border, which helped to prolong a lawless stage. An unreliable transportation system and a ruinous banking policy also stalled Arkansas's economic progress. On the political scene a family dynasty controlled state politics from 1830 to 186u, a'situation without parallel throughout the ante-bellum South. A major part of this work concentrates upon Arkansas's politics from 1859 to 1861. In a most important siate election in 1860, the dynasty met defeat through an open revolt from within its ranks led by a shrewd and ambitious Congressman, Thomas Hindman. Hindman turned the contest into a class conflict, portraying the dynasty's leadership as "aristocrats" and "Bourbons." Because of Hindman's support, Arkansans chose its first governor not hand¬ picked by the dynasty. By this election the people handed gubernatorial power to an ineffectual political novice during a time oi great sectional crisis. -

A Brief History of South Fayetteville – by J
A Brief History of South Fayetteville – by J. B. Hogan The area of town known as South Fayetteville has a long and interesting history. Most of us know South Fayetteville as the poor side of town, which it has been for nearly all of our history. This is the working class section of Fayetteville, with small, older homes, little corner groceries and neighborhood schools (all of the latter two now nearly defunct). But it wasn’t always where the less affluent citizens of Fayetteville lived – far from it. Much of South Fayetteville, in fact, belonged to one man: arguably the most famous person to ever live here: the second Governor of the State of Arkansas, Archibald Yell. Archibald Yell isn’t just a bypass through the middle of town, he was a living, breathing politician, lawyer and military hero. Yell gained notoriety and the lasting appreciation of Andrew Jackson, Old Hickory, through his military exploits in the War of 1812 and other conflicts in the early years of the nineteenth century. It was President Jackson who gave Yell his first positions in the Arkansas Territory and Yell was also close friends with President James K. Polk, another favorite of Andrew Jackson. After starting in Little Rock in late 1831, by 1834 Yell had moved to Fayetteville – early enough to qualify him as a founding father if not a first settler of our town. Yell was smart with his income and bought up lots of land around town, eventually owning some 900 acres of prime real estate. 500-600 of those acres were in what is now known as South Fayetteville. -
FLASHBACK Published Occasionally by the Washington County Historical Society Fayetteville, Arkansas
FLASHBACK published occasionally by the Washington County Historical Society Fayetteville, Arkansas Number 6 November 1951 BOARD PLANS FOR ANNUAL BANQUEI' The board of directors of the Washington County Historical Society met November 20 and made plans for the first annual banquet of the Society, to be held on Tuesday evening, December 18. It was decided not to have a gue~t speaker at the banquet but to let each member of the Society relate his or her favorite incident from Washington County history. That should make an interesting program. Winners of awards in the public schools historical essay contest will be guests at the banquet and will reeeive cash prizes and certi ficates. The election of officers tor 1952 will be another feature of the banquet. Tom Feathers was appointed to make the arrangements. The president reported that conflicting attractions would make it difficult to hold a successful exhibit. of family heirlooms and histor ical relics at this time. It was decided to postpone the exhibit -- to be called "Romantic Yesterdays" -- until Spring. The directors discussed the need for a depository for archives, such as letters, diaries, pictures, newspapers and books, that have been offered to the Society. It was decided to have the Society's 1952 membership card carry pic tures and biographical sketches (on the back) of Archibald Yell and David Walker, two of Faretteville's noted early-day citizens. The mem bership cards will go on sale December 18.

THEIR PRIDE AND ORNAMENT: JUDGE BENJAMIN JOHNSON AND THE FEDERAL COURTS IN EARLY ARKANSAS Lynn Foster* Benjamin Johnson served as a federaljudge in Arkansas for twenty-eight years, spanning the time from Arkansas's creation as a territory to its early statehood. He was one of its first territorial judges, serving a longer term than any of the others, and its first federal district courtjudge. He was also one of the most prominent early Arkansans and a member of what has been called "the Family," a political dynasty that wielded a great deal of power in antebellum Arkansas. This article discusses the highlights of Johnson's judicial career and influence, and the attempt to impeach him, set against the backdrop of early Arkansas history. -
