  • Post-Civil War Industrialization Following the Civil War, Tennessee Entered Into a Period of Industrialization
    Post-Civil War Industrialization Following the Civil War, Tennessee entered into a period of industrialization. This shift was due in part to the damage the war had inflicted on Tennessee’s economy. It was also due to investments from people outside of Tennessee. Many Northerners had been in Tennessee during the Civil War and saw opportunities for investing after the war was over. Northerners who moved South after the war to take advantage of business opportunities were called “carpetbaggers,” because many of the investors carried their belongings in satchels made from heavyweight, carpet-like fabric. Railroads were one of the first industries to be developed after the war. A number of important railroad lines ran through Tennessee before the war, but many of them had been either deliberately or accidentally damaged during the war. After the war, Tennessee’s railroads were repaired and new ones were built, and this expansion of railroads was a key factor in the growth of other industries, especially coal mining.1 Coal had been mined in the Cumberland Plateau region since before the Civil War. By the 1850s coal was replacing wood as the fuel of choice in homes and industries. As Tennessee’s railroads expanded after the war, the need for coal grew as well. Another factor that helped Tennessee’s coal mining industry evolve was the convict labor system.2 Though the 13th Amendment outlawed slavery, a clause in the amendment allowed people convicted of crimes, or convicts, to be forced to work during their prison term. Tennessee, like many other states, rented out convicts to mining companies and 1 “How They Worked.” Tennessee4me.

  • Highlander: the Card Game
    Highlander: the Card Game Advanced Deck Construction Guide Does the card have a use? The first question is easy. If a card has a desired effect, then it is useful. Depending on what kind of deck I’m making, though, various cards that have no use in one deck become immensely useful in another: Holy Ground: Avoid Attacks is one of those cards that is very useful, but even more useful with Nefertiri, for example. Plot cards, which I find useless in most decks, are perfect for Xavier. The temptation sometimes is to toss in a card that doesn’t really enhance the deck, but does something interesting. I mean, I could put a Darius/Shooting Blade into all my decks, but it clashes with a lot of my deck themes: Amanda wouldn’t use one, though Luther might. So, a lot of the thought I put into certain cards stems from the type of deck I want to play. I don’t care if the deck wins, as long as it does what I want it to do. Is there a better card that does the same thing? Generally, I like to be able to play the cards I have in my hand whenever I want. Many of the Event cards, though, need targets (for example, the Police: Counter Event and Remove Situation cards) before you can play them. The Xavier cards are a lot better, when you are playing him: his Plan Ahead and Forethought cards are both Situations, and can be out of your hand immediately, just waiting to be used.

  • Coal-Creek-Historical-Brochure-For
    After the Civil War, prisons in the South overflowed. Southern states enacted the "convict lease system" which turned prisoners from liabilities into assets by leasing them to work in mines, plantations, and railroads. There were only three ways out of the convict labor system: escape, self-mutilation, or death. In 1877, business owners and politicians started using convict laborers to replace striking mine workers to crush labor unrest. Prison and labor reform movements of the time saw no end in sight for this cruel institution. Then, free miners from Coal Creek found a solution by going to war with the State of Tennessee from 1891 to 1892. Tennessee ended its convict lease system and the rest of the South soon followed suit. Many of the miners who survived the Coal Creek War, died in mine disasters at Negotiations during the Coal Creek War the Fraterville Mine in 1902 and the Cross Mountain Mine in 1911. These disasters, which killed 300 men and boys in Coal Creek, helped raise public awareness of the dangers of mining. Safety reforms, brought about in response to these disasters and others, have helped save thousands of lives in mines throughout this country. Relive the history and explore the scenic mountains and streams of Coal Creek by traveling the new Motor Discovery Trail. The trail is free, provided by efforts of the Boy Scouts of America, the American Society of Civil Engineers, Trout Unlimited, the Coal Creek Watershed Foundation, local residents, and students. This trail is dedicated to those miners who lived and died in Coal Creek to improve the quality of life today.

Thousands of American soldiers died in the conflict; the nation’s capital city was invaded, leaving both the White House and the U.S. Capitol in near ruins. An American invasion of Canada ended in failure. Defeat appeared to be certain—leaving the nation’s future in doubt—but down on the southern frontier Tennesseans fought and won major battles that turned the tide and made the reputation of a future U.S. president, Andrew Jackson. This conflict between the United States, Great Britain, governor William Blount (Willie’s older half-brother), Canada, and a score of sovereign Indian nations was called throughout the war. In 1813, Governor Blount raised the War of 1812 because the United States declared war over $37,000 and 2,000 volunteer soldiers to fight the on England in June of that year.

    The ire I m r rtl 8l tr 0 Lieutenant Cabnet ary B. Griffin “War is the redm of chance. No other human activity gives it greater scope: no other has such incessant and varied dealings with this intruder. Chance makes. everything more uncertain and interferes with the whole course of events.” So wrote Karl von CIausewitz in his clas.sie, On WQ~. This inherent uncertainty in war, when combined with exertion, danger, and chance, produces an ever- present friction. The commander’s role throughout military ?&story has been to reduce the uncertainties of war for his own side and increase them for his enemy. Notwithstanding great advances in the arts and sciences of command and control, the best commanders have traditionally used trusted subordinates as extensions of their own minds as a way of penetrating the fog of war. This technique has come to be called the “directed telescope.‘” The Directed TeiescQpe: A ~~~~~~~om~~Element orf .E:fectiue Command, by Lieutenant Colonel Gary I3 Griffin, was first pubhsbed by the Combat Studies Institute in I985 a8 a CSL Report. Since its publication, 2Yz.eDirected TePescope has been widely read across our Army and quite a few others, amd as the Persian Gulf operatians began several months ago, the study took on a particular relevance and timeliness. Lientenant~ Colonel Griffin examines the historic rote played by liaison officers, aides-de-camp, and staff observers as extensions of the commander. The study focuses on the relationship between several great commanders and their liaison of&ens, as well as the systems, techniques, and organizations they employed.
