A Comanche man on a white horse was barreling down the bluff toward Dodge and the remnants of the dragoon company that stood waiting with him. For weeks the dragoons had been wandering around the southern plains, hoping to meet the Comanches and impress them with the United States’ military might. However, almost immediately after the dragoon company of 500 men had departed from Fort Gibson in June 1834, they were plagued by a feverish illness and suffered from the lack of adequate provisions and potable water. When General Henry Leavenworth, the group’s leader, was taken ill near the Washita River, Dodge took command, pressing forward in the July heat with about one-fifth of the original force. The Comanche man riding swiftly toward Dodge was part of a larger group that the dragoons had spotted earlier on the hot July day.

It consists of a blue union containing in the center thereof a white star with the letter N in gilt on the left and the letter C in gilt on the right of the star. The fly of the flag consists of two equally proportional bars, the upper bar red and the lower bar white. The length of these bars is equal to the perpendicular length of the union, and the total length of the flag is one-third more than its width. Above the star in the center of the union is a gilt scroll in semi-circular form, containing in black the inscription: "May 20, 1775," and below the star is a similar scroll containing the inscription: "April 12, 1776." This first date was placed on the flag to mark the signing of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. The second date marks the day on which the Halifax Convention empowered the North Carolina members of the Continental Congress to concur with the delegates of the other colo- nies in declaring independence.

The fifty-nine year old document which underwent modification had been the product of the Revolutionary outpouring of 1776. Like the constitutions of other American states the North Carolina constitution had embodied the Whig idea of "balanced" govern­ ment.1 Richard Caswell, James Iredell, Samuel Johnston, and Willie Jones, representing all shades of Patriot opinion, had had a hand in shaping it. In the best Whig tradition, property was weighed in a Polybian fashion in the two houses of the General Assembly. Franchised freeholders were required to possess sLable residence and adequate property as an assurance of the voter's character and attachment to the corn.munity.

    914 PORTRAIT CEREMONY OF JUSTICE WHICHARD OPENING REMARKS and RECOGNITION OF JAMES R. SILKENAT by CHIEF JUSTICE SARAH PARKER The Chief Justice welcomed the guests with the following remarks: Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. I am pleased to welcome each of you to your Supreme Court on this very special occasion in which we honor the service on this Court of Associate Justice Willis P. Whichard. The presentation of portraits has a long tradition at the Court, beginning 126 years ago. The first portrait to be presented was that of Chief Justice Thomas Ruffin on March 5, 1888. Today the Court takes great pride in continuing this tradition into the 21st century. For those of you who are not familiar with the Court, the portraits in the courtroom are those of former Chief Justices, and those in the hall here on the third floor are of former Associate Justices. The presentation of Justice Whichard’s portrait today will make a significant contribution to our portrait collection. This addition allows us not only to appropriately remember an important part of our history but also to honor the service of a valued member of our Court family. We are pleased to welcome Justice Whichard and his wife Leona, daughter Jennifer and her husband Steve Ritz, and daughter Ida and her husband David Silkenat. We also are pleased to welcome grand- children Georgia, Evelyn, and Cordia Ritz; Chamberlain, Dawson, and Thessaly Silkenat; and Ida’s in-laws Elizabeth and James Silkenat. Today we honor a man who has distinguished himself not only as a jurist on this Court and the Court of Appeals, but also as a lawyer legislator serving in both Chambers of the General Assembly, as Dean of the Campbell Law School, and as a scholar.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Party Formation in the United States Adissertationsubmittedinpartialsatisfactionofthe requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Darin Dion DeWitt 2013 c Copyright by Darin Dion DeWitt 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Party Formation in the United States by Darin Dion DeWitt Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Thomas Schwartz, Chair This dissertation is about how political parties formed in the world’s first mass democracy, the United States. I trace the process of party formation from the bottom up. First, I ask: How do individuals become engaged in politics and develop political affiliations? In most states, throughout the antebellum era, the county was the primary unit of political admin- istration and electoral representation. Owing to their small size, contiguity, and economic homogeneity, I expect that each county’s active citizens will form a county-wide governing coalition that organizes and dominates local politics. Second, I ask: Which political actor had incentives to lure county organizations into one coalition? I argue that the institutional rules for electing United States Senators – indirect election by state legislature – induced prospective United States Senators to construct a majority coalition in the state legislature. Drawing on nineteenth century newspapers, I construct a new dataset from the minutes of political meetings in three states between 1820 and 1860. I find that United States Senators created state parties out of homogeneous counties. They encouraged cooperation among county-wide governing coalitions by canvassing annual county political meetings, drafting ii and revising a multi-issue policy platform that had the potential to unite a majority of the state’s county governing coalitions, encouraging individual counties to create county- wide committees of correspondence and vigilance, and, finally, organizing a permanent state central committee and regular state-wide conventions.

  • Intellectual Manhood: Becoming Men of the Republic at a Southern University, 1795-1861
    INTELLECTUAL MANHOOD: BECOMING MEN OF THE REPUBLIC AT A SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY, 1795-1861 Timothy J. Williams A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Harry L. Watson Donald G. Mathews John F. Kasson James Leloudis Heather Williams ©2010 Timothy J. Williams ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Timothy J. Williams Intellectual Manhood: Becoming Men of the Republic at a Southern University, 1795- 1861 (Under the direction of Professor Harry L. Watson) ―Intellectual Manhood‖ explores antebellum southern students‘ personal and civic development at the University of North Carolina, the first state university to open its doors to students. Historians have characterized southern colleges as crucibles of sectional loyalty and culture, aimed at teaching students how to be southerners and gentlemen above all. This dissertation, however, demonstrates that southern education was more nuanced: it was cosmopolitan, southern, and American. Students described its goal as ―intellectual manhood,‖ which they strove to achieve by learning to think, read, write, and speak their way to adulthood. Though collegiate vice and dissipation threatened to impede young men‘s development, formal and informal education at the University emphasized a culture of mental and moral improvement. In the process, students incorporated values conventionally associated with middle-class society— industry, temperance, and discipline—and adapted them (at times uncomfortably) to youth culture and the southern gentry‘s traditional honor-bound, rugged worldview. Young men entered college with ambitions to serve the republic as virtuous, confident, and competent citizens.

    Remembering Reconstruction at Carolina - The University of North Carolina in Peace, War, and Reconstruction A lecture prepared for Remembering Reconstruction at Carolina, October 1-2, 2004 James Leloudis, Department of History October 2, 2004 © 2004 James Leloudis When Harry Watson contacted me last spring, he asked if I‟d be willing to offer some reflections on Carolina‟s 19th-century history, from the years preceding the Civil War through the tumultuous time of Reconstruction. That seemed easy enough. But then I began to wonder, what would I say? How would I summarize the story of that era? How would I distill it into simple historical lessons? The problem is that this university‟s history is anything but simple. It has been bound up with some of the most important questions in American life—not the least of which are questions about the meaning of citizenship, freedom, and equality in a democratic society. That, then, is the history that I want to recount, contested and contentious, still full of significance for our own time. We should begin, I think, by recognizing that on the eve of the Civil War North Carolina was less a democracy than an oligarchy. That meant that political and economic power rested in the hands of a network of wealthy slaveholding families rather than in those of the citizenry at large. The principles of oligarchy were written into the state's constitution. The proportioning of seats in the state legislature favored the slaveholding east over the Piedmont and western mountains. Until the late 1850s, there were property restrictions on the right to vote in some elections, and through the time of the Civil War, similar restrictions applied to the right to hold high government office.

  • Dave Carey's History of Beaverdam Valley Home | Shorter History
    Dave Carey's History of Beaverdam Valley home | shorter history This page contains the text of a history written in 1998 by laate-resident David E. Carey (pictured below) entitled Beaverdam Valley: A Historical Perspective. It was dedicated to "the many descendants of the original families who pioneered Beaverdam Valley and the Asheville area." Foreword Early Origins of This Area The First Real Settlers in This Area Era of Incorporation Beaverdam Valley's Early Settlers Key Residents During the 1800s A Diversity of Religious Denominations Buncombe County Grows, Attracting Interesting People The Historic Log Cabin and the Wolfsons Beaverdam Run Is Started Appendix I--Chain of Title for Beaverdam Run Foreword This Beaverdam Valley, which historically included Webb Cove, Lynn Cove Roads, and what is now Beaver Lake, was entered by the early settlers via Craven Gap and Bull Creek. In fact, this valley and Reems Creek Valley seem to have been settled before Asheville itself. Names of early valley settlers, like Swain, Lane, Baird, Killian and Rice, appear repeatedly in the history development of Buncombe County and, indeed, the history of the state. Whether there was an Indian village in this valley is debatable. Certainly Indian hunters traveled this area, because arrowheads and other Indian artifacts have been found here. The Shawnee had a village near the present entrance of the Biltmore Estate, and also by a lake on Bull Creek. The Cherokee lived on the banks of the French Broad. They all, undoubtedly, hunted here because the valley was full of deer and elk, and the streams with fish and beaver.

  • From Slavery to College Loans Kynita Stringer-Stanback
    From Slavery to College Loans kynita stringer-stanback Abstract My story begins back in 1793 when November Caldwell was “gifted” to Helen Hogg Hooper (whose father-in-law, William Hooper, signed the Declaration of Independence), the wife of the first president of UNC–Chapel Hill, Joseph Caldwell. November Caldwell is my great-great-great-grandfather. Currently, I owe over six figures in student-loan debt to the very institution that enslaved my ancestors. We are at a particular place in the political history of our nation. White supremacy is morally corrupt. It requires that we deny the humanity of human beings for one reason or another. It is hard to stand up against white supremacy because folks who do are often ostracized from their families and communities. We have all been socialized to believe in white supremacy—it was one of our nation’s founding principles. In this essay I hope to break open a dialogue about the white supremacist hegemony institutionalized within our neoliberal university system. Connecting the past atrocities of slavery with actual educational experiences of the descendants of those who served the proslavery institutions has not been widely publicized or talked about. We must interrogate our history or we will be doomed to continue to repeat the horrific inhumane atrocities. * * * It all started May 1992. My father was taking me to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) to participate in a recruitment program for talented Black students from across the state. Prior to dropping me off at my destination, my father took me to a graveyard behind Connor Dor- mitory on UNC’s campus.
