  • The Great Commodore Forgotten, but Not Lost: Matthew C. Perry in American History and Memory, 1854-2018

I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access.

Jones, Student Date Approvals: __________________________________ Dr. Amy Fluker, Thesis Advisor Date __________________________________ Dr. Brian Bonhomme, Committee Member Date __________________________________ Dr. David Simonelli, Committee Member Date __________________________________ Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Dean of Graduate Studies Date Abstract Commodore Matthew Perry was impactful for the United States Navy and the expansion of America's diplomacy around the world. He played a vital role in negotiating the 1854 Treaty of Kanagawa, which established trade between the United States and Japan, and helped reform the United States Navy. The new changes he implemented, like schooling and officer ranks, are still used in modern America. Nevertheless, the memory of Commodore Matthew Perry has faded from the American public over the decades since his death. He is not taught in American schools, hardly written about, and barely remembered by the American people. The goal of this paper is to find out what has caused Matthew Perry to disappear from America's public memory.

  • Capture the Flag
    ™ Capture the Flag A NATIONAL TREASURE ZFC2575 17 Star, 17 Stripe U.S. Ensign, Privateer Blockade, War of 1812 captured by Captain James Clephan, HMS Charybdis. This flag is significant for both its rarity and symbolic importance. There are no other United States flags with 17-stars and 17-stripes. Thought to be the handiwork of a ship’s chandler or sail maker, the flag is additionally unique in that of the six documented surviving United States flags from the War of 1812, it is the only known privateer ensign. ZFC2509 U.S. 24 Star Pennsylvania Militia color 1822 – 1836. This flag was captured and recaptured during the Ameri - can Civil War. Additionally, this color bears only 24, silver, 6-point stars. The history of this flag is one of the more interesting from the American Civil War: An unidentified Pennsylvania militia unit carried a 30 to 40 year old militia flag into battle against Rebel forces that managed to capture it. The flag was taken either from the Pennsylvanians in either the first year of the American Civil War, or in 1863 by Confederates from one of the PA militia units that were activated during the Gettysburg Campaign. Thus, the unit, time and place of its capture are yet unknown. But the flag was to change hands once again: On the 2nd of April, 1865, the 54th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, after fierce fighting, broke through the Confeder - ate lines at Fort Gregg during the siege of Petersburg, VA. Moving within Confederate lines, they recaptured this flag in Petersburg from the Rebels.
