  • Your Inbox Is Probably Jammed Full of These Emails, but for What It's Worth, I'm Also Lending My Voice
    From: Athena Brown To: Kamp, Jacqueline Subject: Confederate statues Date: Saturday, September 30, 2017 7:40:55 PM Your inbox is probably jammed full of these emails, but for what it's worth, I'm also lending my voice. Please do not allow an Orwellian "memory-hole" to be created. American history needs to be acknowledged -- all parts, good, bad, and the controversial. Please keep all statues and commemorations where they are, and free from vandalizing. From: Jay Willis To: Kamp, Jacqueline Subject: Fwd: Jefferson Davis Highway monuments Date: Monday, October 02, 2017 10:30:15 AM Hello, My name is Jay Willis and I live in Battle Ground. I, like most Americans, am totally against the march to change history by the removal of any historic monuments. What are we becoming, the Taliban? We cannot judge the past actions of the famous but always flawed founders of this nation by the current PC madness. Those were different times and most folks today only have a soundbite taste of propaganda history instead of even looking into all the facts. To appease all the offended, we need to change the name of Washington State and I am sure that there is offensive dirt to be found when researching, Clark, Vancouver or any place and figure in the NW. Historical monuments prompt those truly interested in the facts to delve deeper into history. When you try to change history future generations are not able to learn anything from it, but I suppose that is the point of the current PC madness. The fact that Jefferson Davis lived and had a national highway system installed in order to honor his many accomplishments and to bring reconciliation to the differences between the North and South are facts that should not be hidden.

  • Annual George Seligman Installation Dinner: from the Brigade Commander: Ed Root
    June 2017 – Winter Campaign 39: Meeting on June 06, 2017 Annual George Seligman Installation Dinner: June 6th is our annual Seligman Dinner. As George Seligman passed away in 1985, many of you never had the pleasure to have known George. Every organization has one member who leaves an indelible imprint. George was an Air Force veteran and was in the insurance business. He was always cheerful and didn’t have a shy bone in his body. It was George who led a small group of Civil War history enthusiasts from the rather formal setting of the Lehigh County Court House to the promised land of monthly dinner meetings and a membership that grew from dozens to hundreds. George, while our gregarious leader, always prodded others into the front, always encouraged others to step up and share the responsibility and the fun of being part of this wonderful round table. George loved to keep things loose and nary a meeting went by without someone being picked on in a loving and caring manner. In fact, it was an honor to be so chosen. He made it clear that we were all students of history, that some may be very knowledgeable and others novices, but the point was that even the most serious and knowing could and did learn from the novice. George loved the story of Joshua Chamberlain and the 20th Maine at Gettysburg in a time long before the Ken Burn’s series made him a household name. Our success over the years is due in great part to the foundation and standard that George set.

  • Teacher Notes for the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies
    Georgia Studies Teacher Notes for the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies The Teacher Notes were developed to help teachers understand the depth and breadth of the standards. In some cases, information provided in this document goes beyond the scope of the standards and can be used for background and enrichment information. Please remember that the goal of social studies is not to have students memorize laundry lists of facts, but rather to help them understand the world around them so they can analyze issues, solve problems, think critically, and become informed citizens. Children’s Literature: A list of book titles aligned to the 6th-12th Grade Social Studies GSE may be found at the Georgia Council for the Social Studies website: https://www.gcss.net/site/page/view/childrens-literature The glossary is a guide for teachers and not an expectation of terms to be memorized by students. In some cases, information provided in this document goes beyond the scope of the standards and can be used for background and enrichment information. Terms in Red are directly related to the standards. Terms in Black are provided as background and enrichment information. TEACHER NOTES GEORGIA STUDIES Historic Understandings SS8H1 Evaluate the impact of European exploration and settlement on American Indians in Georgia. People inhabited Georgia long before its official “founding” on February 12, 1733. The land that became our state was occupied by several different groups for over 12,000 years. The intent of this standard is for students to recognize the long-standing occupation of the region that became Georgia by American Indians and the ways in which their culture was impacted as the Europeans sought control of the region.

  • Historian Gaines Foster Asserts
    White gloves or White supremacy? The Lost Cause as a Palatable Counter Movement to Civil Rights: The 1964 Erection of the Jefferson Davis Statue in Memphis, Tennessee Anna Lynn Alexander Historian Gaines Foster asserts, The New South of the twentieth century remained a land haunted by the ghosts of the Confederacy. The ghosts had helped make it a conservative, deferential society; they had contributed to an unquestioning patriotism and respect for the military. Sometimes they had supported the cause of reaction. They were not ancestral spirits who exercised constant or crucial influence, however. Rather, they were phantoms called forth from time to time by various people for differing purposes. The ghosts of the Confederacy had shaped the New South, but in the twentieth century they had become too elusive and ephemeral to define its identity.1 Jefferson Davis was one such phantom, summoned by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in Memphis, Tennessee and immortalized in an eight foot bronze statue. In 1964, the statue purposefully imposed a proud symbol of Southern heritage and tradition on the heart of downtown Memphis. The basic facts are not debatable: In 1956, Mrs. Harry D. Allen, Vice President of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, urged the Memphis chapter of the Children of the Confederacy to begin raising money for a statue of Jefferson Davis. After several years passed without much progress, Mrs. Allen decided to take a more active role and formed the Jefferson Davis Memorial Association. After eight years of fund raising and planning, a statue of Jefferson Davis was unveiled in Confederate Park.
