  • Music and the American Civil War
    “LIBERTY’S GREAT AUXILIARY”: MUSIC AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by CHRISTIAN MCWHIRTER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2009 Copyright Christian McWhirter 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Music was almost omnipresent during the American Civil War. Soldiers, civilians, and slaves listened to and performed popular songs almost constantly. The heightened political and emotional climate of the war created a need for Americans to express themselves in a variety of ways, and music was one of the best. It did not require a high level of literacy and it could be performed in groups to ensure that the ideas embedded in each song immediately reached a large audience. Previous studies of Civil War music have focused on the music itself. Historians and musicologists have examined the types of songs published during the war and considered how they reflected the popular mood of northerners and southerners. This study utilizes the letters, diaries, memoirs, and newspapers of the 1860s to delve deeper and determine what roles music played in Civil War America. This study begins by examining the explosion of professional and amateur music that accompanied the onset of the Civil War. Of the songs produced by this explosion, the most popular and resonant were those that addressed the political causes of the war and were adopted as the rallying cries of northerners and southerners. All classes of Americans used songs in a variety of ways, and this study specifically examines the role of music on the home-front, in the armies, and among African Americans.

  • James Longstreet and the Retreat from Gettysburg
    “Such a night is seldom experienced…” James Longstreet and the Retreat from Gettysburg Karlton Smith, Gettysburg NMP After the repulse of Lt. Gen. James Longstreet’s Assault on July 3, 1863, Gen. Robert E. Lee, commanding the Army of Northern Virginia, knew that the only option left for him at Gettysburg was to try to disengage from his lines and return with his army to Virginia. Longstreet, commander of the army’s First Corps and Lee’s chief lieutenant, would play a significant role in this retrograde movement. As a preliminary to the general withdrawal, Longstreet decided to pull his troops back from the forward positions gained during the fighting on July 2. Lt. Col. G. Moxley Sorrel, Longstreet’s adjutant general, delivered the necessary orders to Maj. Gen. Lafayette McLaws, commanding one of Longstreet’s divisions. Sorrel offered to carry the order to Brig. Gen. Evander M. Law, commanding John B. Hood’s division, on McLaws’s right. McLaws raised objections to this order. He felt that his advanced position was important and “had been won after a deadly struggle; that the order was given no doubt because of [George] Pickett’s repulse, but as there was no pursuit there was no necessity of it.” Sorrel interrupted saying: “General, there is no discretion allowed, the order is for you to retire at once.” Gen. James Longstreet, C.S.A. (LOC) As McLaws’s forward line was withdrawing to Warfield and Seminary ridges, the Federal batteries on Little Round Top opened fire, “but by quickening the pace the aim was so disturbed that no damage was done.” McLaws’s line was followed by “clouds of skirmishers” from the Federal Army of the Potomac; however, after reinforcing his own skirmish line they were driven back from the Peach Orchard area.

  • “Never Was I So Depressed”
    The Army of Northern Virginia in the Gettysburg Campaign “Never Was I So Depressed” James Longstreet and Pickett’s Charge Karlton D. Smith On July 24, 1863, Lt. Gen. James Longstreet wrote a private letter to his uncle, Augusts Baldwin Longstreet. In discussing his role in the Gettysburg Campaign, the general stated: General Lee chose the plan adopted, and he is the person appointed to chose and to order. I consider it a part of my duty to express my views to the commanding general. If he approves and adopts them it is well; if he does not, it is my duty to adopt his views, and to execute his orders as faithfully as if they were my own. While clearly not approving Lee’s plan of attack on July 3, Longstreet did everything he could, both before and during the attack, to ensure its success.1 Born in 1821, James Longstreet was an 1842 graduate of West Point. An “Old Army” regular, Longstreet saw extensive front line combat service in the Mexican War in both the northern and southern theaters of operations. Longstreet led detachments that helped to capture two of the Mexican forts guarding Monterey and was involved in the street fighting in the city. At Churubusco, Longstreet planted the regimental colors on the walls of the fort and saw action at Casa Marta, near Molino del Ray. On August 13, 1847, Longstreet was wounded during the assault on Chapaltepec while “in the act of discharging the piece of a wounded man." The same report noted that during the action, "He was always in front with the colors.

    VOL. XLIX, NO. 8 Michigan Regimental Round Table Newsletter—Page 1 August 2009 On Thursday, January 10, 1861, the Florida State Convention in Tallahassee passed an Ordinance of Secession by a vote of 62-7, thus becoming the third state to leave the Union. That night in Tallahassee a large torchlight parade celebrated the event. Secession had been on the minds of most Floridians for some time. Governor Madison Starke Perry had urged reorganization and rearming of the state militia following John Brown’s October, 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry. At the same time he called for an “external separation from those whose wickedness and fanaticism forbid us longer to live with them in peace and safety.” He later warned Floridians to prepare for the “emergency of the approaching [1860] Presidential election,” and announced Florida’s readiness to “wheel into line with the gallant Palmetto State, or any other Cotton State….” Of the eleven Confederate states Florida’s population was the smallest, showing 140,424 in the 1860 Census. Of this number 77,747 were white, 61,745 black with 932 Free Negroes. The state would furnish 21 military organizations— 14,000 to 15,000 men—to the Confederacy. Over 1300 would be killed or died of wounds, and 1100 more died of disease. About 1200 white Floridians and almost as many blacks served in Federal armies. The 1500-mile Florida coastline would prove problematic for both sides: the North in trying to blockade it, the South in its attempt to defend it. Cattle and salt were two of Florida’s primary substances for the Confederacy.

    AMERICAN CRISIS BIOGRAPHIES STONEWALL JACKSON HENRY ALEXANDER WHITE. A.M.. Ph.D. Author of " Robert E. Lee and the Southern Confederacy," "A History of the United States," etc. PHILADELPHIA GEORGE W. JACOBS & COMPANY PUBLISHERS COPYRIGHT, 1908, BY GEORGE W. JACOBS & COMPANY Published January, 1909 This volume is dedicated to My Wife Fanny Beverley Wellford White PREFACE THE present biography of Stonewall Jackson is based upon an examination of original sources, as far as these are available. The accounts of Jack son s early life and of the development of his per sonal character are drawn, for the most part, from Doctor Eobert L. Dabney s biography and from Jackson s Life and Letters, by Mrs. Jackson. The Official Eecords of the war, of course, constitute the main source of the account here given of Jackson s military operations. Colonel G. F. E. Henderson s Life is an admirable of his career study military ; Doctor Dabney s biography, however, must remain the chief source of our knowledge concerning the personality of the Confederate leader. Written accounts by eye-witnesses, and oral statements made to the writer by participants in Jackson s campaigns, have been of great service in the preparation of this volume. Some of these are mentioned in the partial list of sources given in the bibliography. HENRY ALEXANDER WHITE. Columbia, S. C. CONTENTS CHRONOLOGY 11 I. EARLY YEARS 15 II. AT WEST POINT .... 25 III.

  • General AP Hill at Gettysburg
    Papers of the 2017 Gettysburg National Park Seminar General A.P. Hill at Gettysburg: A Study of Character and Command Matt Atkinson If not A. P. Hill, then who? May 2, 1863, Orange Plank Road, Chancellorsville, Virginia – In the darkness of the Wilderness, victory or defeat hung in the balance. The redoubtable man himself, Stonewall Jackson, had ridden out in front of his most advanced infantry line to reconnoiter the Federal position and was now returning with his staff. Nervous North Carolinians started to fire at the noises of the approaching horses. Voices cry out from the darkness, “Cease firing, you are firing into your own men!” “Who gave that order?” a muffled voice in the distance is heard to say. “It’s a lie! Pour it into them, boys!” Like chain lightning, a sudden volley of musketry flashes through the woods and the aftermath reveals Jackson struck by three bullets.1 Caught in the tempest also is one of Jackson’s division commanders, A. P. Hill. The two men had feuded for months but all that was forgotten as Hill rode to see about his commander’s welfare. “I have been trying to make the men cease firing,” said Hill as he dismounted. “Is the wound painful?” “Very painful, my arm is broken,” replied Jackson. Hill delicately removed Jackson’s gauntlets and then unhooked his sabre and sword belt. Hill then sat down on the ground and cradled Jackson’s head in his lap as he and an aide cut through the commander’s clothing to examine the wounds.
