  • Bloody, Bloody Yazoo Jackson
    P a g e | 1 Andrew Edwards Mae Ngai/Elizabeth Blackmar Senior Thesis Word Count: 20,121 4.4.2011 Bloody, Bloody Yazoo Jackson The Crisis over Speculation and Sovereignty in the Early Republic P a g e | 2 “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” ~The Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1791. In the broadest sense, political struggles between republicans and federalists in the earliest years of the American republic were about a trade-off between freedom and power. According to early Chief Justice John Marshall republicans resisted ―every attempt to transfer from their own hands into those of congress powers which by others,‖ Marshall‘s federalists, ―were deemed essential to the preservation of the union.‖1 Conversely, as republican newspaper editor and poet Philip Freneau wrote in 1793, ―the people rejoice in their freedom, and are determined to maintain it.‖2 Yet those two concepts, freedom and power, so familiar from history and manifest in the political discourse of George Washington and John Adams‘s administrations, remain opaque. The antagonisms of freedom and power are so broadly understood that contradictory interpretations can be made from the same evidence. Charles Beard interpreted the political divide of the 1790s as ―a profound division‖ that ―ensued throughout the United States based on different views of the rights of property,‖ with capitalist federalists on one side and agrarian republicans on the other.3 As Joyce Appleby reinterpreted them, however, republicans were ―progressive,‖ ―capitalist,‖ ―new money‖ men, who had no patience for the aristocratic pretentions of the ―elites,‖ while ―elite‖ federalists were, perhaps, just better organized.4 For 1 Marshall quoted by Beard.

  • 'O'er Mountains and Rivers': Community and Commerce
    MCCARTNEY, SARAH ELLEN, Ph.D. ‘O’er Mountains and Rivers’: Community and Commerce in the Greenbrier Valley in the Late Eighteenth Century. (2018) Directed by Dr. Greg O’Brien. 464 pp. In the eighteenth-century Greenbrier River Valley of present-day West Virginia, identity was based on a connection to “place” and the shared experiences of settlement, commerce, and warfare as settlers embraced an identity as Greenbrier residents, Virginians, and Americans. In this dissertation, I consider the Greenbrier Valley as an early American place participating in and experiencing events and practices that took place throughout the American colonies and the Atlantic World, while simultaneously becoming a discrete community and place where these experiences formed a unique Greenbrier identity. My project is the first study of the Greenbrier Valley to situate the region temporally within the revolutionary era and geographically within the Atlantic World. For many decades Greenbrier Valley communities were at the western edge of Virginia’s backcountry settlements in what was often an “ambiguous zone” of European control and settlers moved in and out of the region with the ebb and flow of frontier violence. Settlers arriving in the region came by way of the Shenandoah Valley where they traveled along the Great Wagon Road before crossing into the Greenbrier region through the mountain passes and rivers cutting across the Allegheny Mountains. Without a courthouse or church, which were the typical elements of community in eighteenth- century Virginia society, until after the American Revolution, Greenbrier settlers forged the bonds of their community through other avenues, including the shared hardships of the settlement experience.

  • Brevet Brigadier General George Mathews. 343 BEEVET BEIGADIEE
    Brevet Brigadier General George Mathews. 343 BEEVET BEIGADIEE GENERAL GEOEGE MATHEWS. A welcome addition to our very slender stock of in- formation relating to the biography of this officer of the Eevolutionary War is contained in the accompanying papers, in the handwriting of Col. Thomas Eodney, who was a member of the Continental Congress and, in later years, Judge of the U. S. Court for the territory of Mississippi. They were purchased at the recent sale, in Philadelphia, of the correspondence of Caesar, Thomas, and CaBsar A. Rodney. George Mathews served in the Indian Warfare in Virginia prior to the Eevolutionary War; was ap- pointed Colonel of the Ninth Virginia Regiment, Feb- ruary 10,1777; and was wounded and taken prisoner at Germantown, October 4, 1777. He was not exchanged until Dec. 5,1781. He then joined Gen. Greene's army in the South, as Colonel of the Third Virginia Eegi- ment, and continued in Service until the close of the War. As to the character of this service we are not informed. Eemoving, with his family, to Georgia in 1785, he was a representative from that State to the first Congress held under the Constitution of the United States; and served as Governor of Georgia from 1793 to 1796. He died at Augusta, Ga., on August 30, 1812, aged 73 years. It is evident from the statements made by Eodney in these papers that Gen. Mathews visited the Mississippi Territory—presumably Natchez—for the purpose of seeing his Son, whom President Jefferson had ap- pointed a Judge of one of the IT.

Since the 3d edition of the Gazetteer of Georgia was published, in 1837, some forty new counties have been organized, making the whole number 132. True, since that date Rev. George White* has issued two statistical works; but as great changes have been made, a new edition of the Gazetteer is demanded. The census of 1859 has not been included, because it was not complete at first, as published by the Comptroller General, in the hope that the enumeration of 1860 would be out in time for this work. The papers will print it as early as pos sible, and when desired can be pasted upon the inside cover of this book. The Railroad routes, with the distances from place to place on the rude maps, will be a great convenience to travellers, and furnish all the information necessary in the cars.
