Community and Politics in Antebellum New York City Irish Gang Subculture James
The Communal Legitimacy of Collective Violence: Community and Politics in Antebellum New York City Irish Gang Subculture by James Peter Phelan A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta ©James Phelan, 2014 ii Abstract This thesis examines the influences that New York City‘s Irish-Americans had on the violence, politics, and underground subcultures of the antebellum era. During the Great Famine era of the Irish Diaspora, Irish-Americans in Five Points, New York City, formed strong community bonds, traditions, and a spirit of resistance as an amalgamation of rural Irish and urban American influences. By the middle of the nineteenth century, Irish immigrants and their descendants combined community traditions with concepts of American individualism and upward mobility to become an important part of the antebellum era‘s ―Shirtless Democracy‖ movement. The proto-gang political clubs formed during this era became so powerful that by the late 1850s, clashes with Know Nothing and Republican forces, particularly over New York‘s Police force, resulted in extreme outbursts of violence in June and July, 1857. By tracking the Five Points Irish from famine to riot, this thesis as whole illuminates how communal violence and the riots of 1857 may be understood, moralised, and even legitimised given the community and culture unique to Five Points in the antebellum era. iii Table of Contents Introduction ................................................................................................................................... -

Twain, Bingham and the American Narrative
Twain, Bingham, and the American Narrative: Suggested Lesson Plan In preparation for your Museum visit: 1) Please have students reread Chapter 13 (pp.70-75) of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Review what happens on the raft trip to Jackson Island and take some time to have the students narrate the events in class. What might the Mississippi River symbolize? What could the storm represent? How do the children react to the storm? 2) In order to prepare for a visual analysis of George Caleb Bingham’s Daniel Boone Escorting Settlers through the Cumberland Gap*, make sure that students are familiar with the following terms: Cumberland Gap: a pass through the Cumberland Mountains region of the Appalachian Mountains at the juncture of the U.S. states of Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia. Famous in American history for its role as one key passageway through the lower central Appalachians, it was an important part of the Wilderness Road, which was originally a trail created and used by Native Americans. The Cumberland Gap was discovered in 1750 by Dr. Thomas Walker, a Virginia physician and explorer. The path was widened by a team of loggers led by Daniel Boone, making it accessible to pioneers, who used it to journey into the western frontiers of Kentucky and Tennessee. The pass is now part of the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. Manifest Destiny: The term was coined in 1845 by journalist John O’ Sullivan. It was the belief that white Anglo Saxon pioneers were destined to triumph over all other groups that claimed the land west of the Mississipi River, specifically the American Indian tribes that inhabited the land for centuries.
