  • Introduction
    Introduction The Walter Havighurst Special Collections houses a wide array of American Civil War materials, including diaries, letters, official documents, photographs, printed books and ephemera. The items included in this exhibition are generally organized in the following sections: fighting for the Union, Miami University and the war, the rise and fall of the Confederacy, the state of medicine during the war, and the African American experience. Two “spotlight” cases are included in the exhibit: one showcases four diaries kept during the war and the other includes materials related to both Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis. As a complement to our year-long display of pages from Harper’s Weekly from the year 1861, we have also included a small exhibit on the practice of journalism during the war. As you browse this exhibit you will “hear” the voices of political leaders, Union soldiers, Miami students, Confederate generals and spies, former slaves, African American soldiers, hospital workers, sanitary agents and newspaper correspondents as they tell their own stories and experiences during the war. One of our voices from the past, David Basset Snow (1838-1925), was a student at Miami University from 1856 to 1862. From 1862 to 1865, Snow served as a sergeant in Co. K, 83rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Snow‟s letters to his brother Joseph, who was also a Miami graduate, are fascinating for their intelligent insights into the nation‟s conflict as well as for his beautiful prose. Quotations from his letters in each section of the exhibit provide an eyewitness “narration” of the war. The exhibit title comes from a letter he wrote at the start of the war when he was still a The Boys of the University: student at Miami.

  • Memories of Slavery Days in Kentucky
    MEMORIES OF SLAVERY DAYS IN KENTUCKY BY LOWELL H. I-IARmSON # Western Kentucky University A complicating factor in the study of slavery in Kentucky or else. where is the scarcity of materials which reveal the thought of the slave himself. Most records of the "peculiar institution" depict it as the owners saw it, or as viewed by a traveler passing through the South, or as denounced by an abolitionist. Of course some slaves or former slaves wrote accounts of their servitude, but they were exceptions; most of the millions of slaves who lived in the United States left no record of their bondage. By the 1920's the number of former slaves was dwindling rapidly, and several scholars became convinced that a systematic effort should be made to preserve their memories of a vanished era and a discarded institution. Increased interest in black culture, inspired by such scholars as Carter G. Woodson and W. E. B. DuBois, contributed to the grow- ing interest in preserving such information. Fisk and Southern uni- versifies both attempted interview projects in 1929, but they were handicapped by insut•cient funds, and little was accomplished.1 In 1934 Lawrence D. Reddick, then a faculty member at Kentucky State College, proposed the establishment of a comprehensive federal project to collect the information. The project could be staffed, he sug- gested, by unemployed graduates of Negro colleges as a part of the federal work relief program. His project was not successful, but the idea was soon adopted for a program conducted under the auspices of the Federal Writers' Project, a part of the Works Progress Administra- tion.2 The preliminary interviewing of ex-slaves under this program began in Georgia in 1936; formal instructions were issued on April 1, 1937.

  • Sexual Violence in the Slaveholding Regimes of Louisiana and Texas: Patterns of Abuse in Black Testimony
    Sexual Violence in the Slaveholding Regimes of Louisiana and Texas: Patterns of Abuse in Black Testimony Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Andrea Helen Livesey June 2015 UAbstract This study is concerned with the sexual abuse of enslaved women and girls by white men in the antebellum South. Interviews conducted by the Federal Writers’ Project in the 1930s are studied alongside nineteenth-century narratives of the formerly enslaved in order to make calculations of the scale of abuse in the South, but also to discover which conditions, social spaces and situations were, and possibly still are, most conducive to the sexual abuse of women and girls. This thesis is separated into two parts. Part One establishes a methodology for working with testimony of the formerly enslaved and determines the scale of sexual abuse using all available 1930s interviews with people who had lived in Louisiana and Texas under slavery. This systematic quantitative analysis is a key foundation from which to interpret the testimony of abuse that is explored according to different forms of sexual violence in Part Two. It is argued that abuse was endemic in the South, and occurred on a scale that was much higher than has been argued in previous studies. Enslaved people could experience a range of white male sexually abusive behaviours: rape, sexual slavery and forced breeding receive particular attention in this study due to the frequency with which they were mentioned by the formerly enslaved. These abuses are conceptualised as existing on a continuum of sexual violence that, alongside other less frequently mentioned practices, pervaded the lives of all enslaved people.

  • Contending Discourses of Black Autobiography: Respectability, Authenticity, and Masculinity
    DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-8026.2021.e78580 CONTENDING DISCOURSES OF BLACK AUTOBIOGRAPHY: RESPECTABILITY, AUTHENTICITY, AND MASCULINITY Anthony S. Foy1* 1Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, PA, Unites States Summary After historicizing the politics of racial representation in the slave narrative, this article considers how race, gender, and class intersect historically in the autobiographical production of Black men in the United States. At the dawn of the Jim Crow era, Black autobiography conformed to a cultural politics of racial synecdoche, which avowed that racial progress depended on the respectability of esteemed individuals. Dominated by aspirational figures who presented themselves as racial emblems, Black autobiography became closely aligned with the imperatives of Black middle-class formation, actuating a discrete form of racial publicity that erected disciplinary boundaries around Black self-presentation and silenced disreputable figures. With the emergence of criminal and sexual self-reference, whether subtle or striking, in the narratives of Black men, autobiographers like boxer Jack Johnson, scholar J. Saunders Redding, and writer Claude Brown, disrupted the class-bound constraints that had determined Black autobiographical production, staging an internecine class struggle over the terms of racial representation—that is, between contending discourses of racial respectability and racial authenticity. Keywords: Black autobiography; racial uplift; crime; sexuality; phallocentric masculinity * Associate Professor, Dept.

  • A State Divided: the Civil War in Kentucky Civil War in the Bluegrass
    $5 Fall 2013 KentuckyKentucky Humanities Council, Inc. humanities A State Divided: The Civil War in Kentucky Civil War in the Bluegrass e are 150 years removed from the Civil War, yet it still creates strong emotions in many Americans. The War Between the States split the nation deeply and divided Kentucky, pitting friend against friend, neighbor against neighbor, brother against brother, and even father against son. WKentucky’s future was forever changed by the events of the Civil War. In commemoration of the Civil War’s sesquicentennial, we are pleased to share with you a wide array of Kentucky perspectives and issues that developed throughout the war. What would Abraham Lincoln say about slavery and the Civil War if he were alive today? Stephen A. Brown conducts a “conversation” with President Lincoln through chronicled speeches and writings. His article is on page 7. Camp Nelson played a pivotal role in the destruction of slavery in the Commonwealth. W. Stephen McBride shares the history of Kentucky’s largest recruitment and training center for Ben Chandler African American soldiers and what remains of Camp Nelson today. Executive Director John Hunt Morgan is widely known for his Confederate Cavalry raids, overshadowing fellow Kentucky Humanities Council Kentuckian George Martin Jessee, known as “Naughty Jessee.” Mark V. Wetherington tells us about the lesser known Confederate Cavalryman on page 15. While Kentucky’s men were off fighting for both the Union and the Confederacy, their wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters were left to take care of the family and home. On page 18, Nancy Baird shares the stories of several Kentucky women who bravely kept the home fires burning during the Civil War.

Brinton © 2011 Anne Y. Brinton Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2011 The dissertation of Anne Y. Brinton was reviewed and approved* by the following: William A. Blair The College of the Liberal Arts Research Professor Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Anthony E. Kaye Associate Professor of History Nan E. Woodruff Professor of History Lovalerie King Associate Professor of English and Women’s Studies and Director of the Africana Research Center David G. Atwill Professor of History and Director of Graduate Studies *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii ABSTRACT This dissertation engages with recent scholarship on the slaveholding household and on struggles over the terms of labor as slavery underwent its internal collapse. Slavery stood at the crux of Border State political economies and political identities on the eve of Civil War. Vigorous markets in hiring and sale distributed widespread access to enslaved labor, disrupted black familial and social life, and stood as a terrain of struggle across which both white and black identities were articulated. Border State emancipation, no less traumatic than its Confederate counterpart(s), nonetheless took a different path. Recent scholars have observed that in much of the Confederacy, wartime emancipation was neither secure nor absolute. In the loyal Border States, it was more fraught yet. Slaves and ex-slaves struggled to navigate the overlapping terrains of federal policy, civil law, and the market in their labor as they began to lay the material and ideological foundations of free households.

  • The Civil War in Kentucky: the Slave Claims His Freedom
    THE CIVIL WAR IN KENTUCKY: THE SLAVE CLAIMS HIS FREEDOM Jvr!f;Jz;~ v;c1orB Howacd' When William E. Woodward published hi s biograph y, Meet General Grant, in 1928, he confidently concluded that " the American negros [sic] are the only people in the history of the world, that ever beca me free without any effort of their own.'" Although his dogmatic comment went unchallenged, it would not be accepted today, and hi s statement is certainly not true with reference to the blacks in Kentucky during the Civil War. From the beginning of the Civil War, the Kentucky slaves were active particpants in the drama. From the moment Northern troops entered Kentucky, the objective of the slaves was to secure more self-determinism for themselves and their families. During the spring and summer of 1861 in Kentucky, the signs of what was to come were clear. Newspaper columns carried more and more notices of runaways. instances of insubordination increased sharply, and there were reports of work slowdowns, unruliness, and arson. In May 1861 , great alarm spread across Kentucky as rumors of slave uprisings and insurrectional plots convulsed the states with fear. Slave plots were said to have been exposed or uprisings undertaken in Fayette, Owen, and Gallatin Counties.2 The uneasiness and apprehensions concerning the effects of abolitionist ideas on the slaves led to concerted efforts to isolate the slave communities from information about the issues of the war. After the armies moved into Kentucky, many Kentucky slave­ holders tried to frighten the slaves into avoiding conversation with strangers and Northern soldiers.
