^24.DE^Wilpm.PERRY FOUR GENERATIONS, DESCENDANTS • PERRY ^24.DE^WilPM. Calibrated Their Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary. MRS. PHILIP LEPPLA. Mr. and Mrs. Philip Leppla of this place celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary at their pleasant home here last Sunday. Owing to the recent death of their youngest daughter, Mrs. Carl L. Gale of Columbus, which occurred a few days ago, the affair was celebrated in a quiet and unostentatious manner, only the immediate family being present. This aged couple were united in marrirge at Canton, Ohio, November 6, 1854, by Rev. Herbruck, a Lutheran minister. Mrs. Leppla, whose maiden name was Louise Ittner, was 16 years of age and her hus­ band 26. Thirteen children were born to this union, three dying in infancy; the eldest son, Godfrey, died about three years ago, and the youngest daughter, Mrs. Gale, three weeks ago. The eight living children are Mrs. Wm. A. Gerber, Mrs. C. Kaemmerer and George Leppla of Columbus; William and Charles Leppla of Barber ton; Mrs. GK W. Weimer, Mrs. A. G. Schmidt and Philip Leppla, Jr., of this place. There are nineteen grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Mr. Leppla was born in Bavaria, Germany, May 13,1828, of Lutheran parent­ age, and came to America in 1849, locating at Winesburg, where he carried on the business of blacksmithing, which he followed until about ten years ago. Mrs. Leppla was born at Winesburg, October 6, 1838. In 1859 they located in Millersburg, since which time they have made their | home here.

In most Reconstruction literature, the question of black American freedom and citizenship was the central issue of Reconstruction, but not to the Republicans. The question of black American freedom and citizenship was the most salient issue to them, but they set that issue within a larger problem: the political regime of the antebellum slave South had deviated from the plan of the American Founders long before secession in 1860-1861.

  • Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett
    Spring Grove Cemetery, once characterized as blending "the elegance of a park with the pensive beauty of a burial-place," is the final resting- place of forty Cincinnatians who were generals during the Civil War. Forty For the Union: Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett f the forty Civil War generals who are buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, twenty-three had advanced from no military experience whatsoever to attain the highest rank in the Union Army. This remarkable feat underscores the nature of the Northern army that suppressed the rebellion of the Confed- erate states during the years 1861 to 1865. Initially, it was a force of "inspired volunteers" rather than a standing army in the European tradition. Only seven of these forty leaders were graduates of West Point: Jacob Ammen, Joshua H. Bates, Sidney Burbank, Kenner Garrard, Joseph Hooker, Alexander McCook, and Godfrey Weitzel. Four of these seven —Burbank, Garrard, Mc- Cook, and Weitzel —were in the regular army at the outbreak of the war; the other three volunteered when the war started. Only four of the forty generals had ever been in combat before: William H. Lytle, August Moor, and Joseph Hooker served in the Mexican War, and William H. Baldwin fought under Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Italian civil war. This lack of professional soldiers did not come about by chance. When the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787, its delegates, who possessed a vast knowledge of European history, were determined not to create a legal basis for a standing army. The founding fathers believed that the stand- ing armies belonging to royalty were responsible for the endless bloody wars that plagued Europe.

    NEW CITIZENS: GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alison Clark Efford, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Doctoral Examination Committee: Professor John L. Brooke, Adviser Approved by Professor Mitchell Snay ____________________________ Adviser Professor Michael L. Benedict Department of History Graduate Program Professor Kevin Boyle ABSTRACT This work explores how German immigrants influenced the reshaping of American citizenship following the Civil War and emancipation. It takes a new approach to old questions: How did African American men achieve citizenship rights under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments? Why were those rights only inconsistently protected for over a century? German Americans had a distinctive effect on the outcome of Reconstruction because they contributed a significant number of votes to the ruling Republican Party, they remained sensitive to European events, and most of all, they were acutely conscious of their own status as new American citizens. Drawing on the rich yet largely untapped supply of German-language periodicals and correspondence in Missouri, Ohio, and Washington, D.C., I recover the debate over citizenship within the German-American public sphere and evaluate its national ramifications. Partisan, religious, and class differences colored how immigrants approached African American rights. Yet for all the divisions among German Americans, their collective response to the Revolutions of 1848 and the Franco-Prussian War and German unification in 1870 and 1871 left its mark on the opportunities and disappointments of Reconstruction.

This article examines and questions the conventional view of the conference as a challenge to President Lincoln's efficacy as the nation's leader. Rather, the article suggests that Lincoln may have actually welcomed the conference and had his own designs for how it might bolster his political objectives.
