I .’ , PR EF.4 CE. - I 1-1 \D intended that \‘oluiiie TI’. should complete the histor). of “Holston Alethodism” so far as I \vas con- cernetl : but matter continued to coiiie 111 antl I con- tinuetl to \\-rite until I hac1 tlie histor!. brought tlown to the year 1897, when to my consternation I iras in- foriiietl 11)-tlie publishers that what I had 11 ritten would make about a thousand pageh. I then consulted wit11 members of the committee and others antl irith 1:ishops Hoss antl Tl‘aterhouse, and the result was a determi- nation to niake tivo yolumes instead of one. It was thought best to have the volumes of the hiqtory as nearly uniform in size as possible. -4s this volume extends from 1844. to rQo, it passes through the Civil II-ar and reconstruction periods. and therefore deals xritli some sensational events. Eut irhile I have n-ritten as a Southern man iritli Sotithern prejudices. I have entlen.i.oret1 to lie fair ant1 as impar- tial as possible. Some ivill object to my cantlid account of the blunders of the Conference tlxriiig rile wx. ,?IF ‘ reply is that as an honest historian I could not cover LIP these tliings. -4 historian is, like a xitiless Linder oath, bountl to tell the truth and the \\hole truth, for “a half truth is a irliole lie.” I haye been careful to lay stress upon relib’WIOLIS es- perience antl practice : and I have therefore told some simple stories of briglit conversions, joyful occasions of refresliings from the presence of the Lord. and (v) 5-21 triumphant tieathbed scenes to stirnulate the faith of the Church and to bring her back, so far as possible, to the warni, demonstrative religion of the fathers. IT’hile wrijing these things my own soul has been blessed, and I hope that many of my readers will have a like esperiencc. R. S. PRICE. MOWISTOWS,TESS., August 13, 1912. ISTRODUCTION. - Is the scholastic year 184-47 I met the author of this history. We were then schoolboys in Emory and Henry College (J-irginia) , both still in our teens, both born and brought up in the country on the farm in Methodist homes of the old family altar type-he in Virginia and I in Tennessee. It-e both felt a call to the ministry, but kept it a secret. We joined the same literary society in college; and when our school work ended, in June, 1850, we were licensed to preach, and in October joined the Holston Conference together on trial. Froin that day to this we have stood shoulder to shoulder, elbows touching for sixty-two years as members of the Conference. We were both chaplains in the Confederate army. Like birds of a feather, we flocked together. With such antecedents, I need hardly say that it gives me niuch pleasure to introduce and commend this fourth volume of our Holston history. Of this series of Holston histories, of which this is the fourth, somewhat inay be said: For twenty and more years we as a Conference had the question of a Holston history under consideration from time to time. Finally.we requested Dr. W. G. E. Cunnyngliani to take the matter in hand. He collected a good deal of material. But the task of writing was not actually undertaken until Dr. Price consented to give up all other work and apply himself to it. It has so happened that I have been Chairman of the Publishing Commit- tee through the many ups and downs consequent upon (vii) \ucil 311 untiertakiiig. 'The l,iimess of book-making \\.ab ne\\- both to the author and to the Cominittee of 1~11111ic~ttion.So we cautiousl? ventured to get out one i oltune. hit iJr inis<. This volume proved satisfactory tCJ tlie preachers and to tlie Church. revealing the ver!. >uperior qualification and adaptation of the gifted au- thur for such a work, and also the fact that a large amount oi historical matter important to tlie present and coming generations was bound up in Holston his- tory and oiight to Be prem-ved. Aindso we have kept on, atltliq .i.oluine to volume, until u-e have reached this :lie fourth iii the ieries. Tlie..e x olumes have by conirnon consent iiicreasecl in interest ad they haye approached our present time. Having noted tlie contents and seen the proof sheets of this om. I am quite sure it will surpass all the others in general interest. Some may criticize tis for not having condensed anrl s!ncopated so as to get all in t\vo volumes. but lie who id1 read the four volumes n-ill find it difficult to se- lect an! thing ~vliiclicould be left out without mutilat- ing the n-onderful story of our fathers and inothers and their heroic work in the,e I-Iolston hills. Indeed, if piknew tlie liunclretls of interesting facts diicli haw come up from time to time clamoring for a place in the record bnt haw been rejected by the conservative and careful author, you vould change your mind. There is matter of thrilling interest still on hand wliich by rights ought to appear in a fifth volume. And in this volumc ought to appear as an appendix the ap- pointment\ of the preachers from the organization of the Conference in r8q to the present. This and I s 'r IIUD G CTlOs . ix more modern matter in hand would make the fifth volume the most popular and useful of the .series. The Herculean task of Dr. Price in collecting the facts and putting in good, concise, clear, and readable English this series of our Holston history merits our grateful appreciation. He did the great work often under severe bodily afflictions, as I know. Our prayer is that He who has so marvelously sustained him thus far may grant him health to finish it, and may there bc light in the evening ! D.SULLIXS.

  • Athens Campus
    Athens Campus Athens Campus Introduction The University of Georgia is centered around the town of Athens, located approximately 60 miles northeast of the capital of Atlanta, Georgia. The University was incorporated by an act of the General Assembly on January 25, 1785, as the first state-chartered and supported college in the United States. The campus began to take physical form after a 633-acre parcel of land was donated for this purpose in 1801. The university’s first building—Franklin College, now Old College—was completed in 1806. Initially a liberal-arts focused college, University of Georgia remained modest in size and grew slowly during the Figure 48. Emblem of the antebellum years of the nineteenth century. In 1862, passage of the Morrill Act University of Georgia. by Congress would eventually lead to dramatic changes in the focus, curriculum, and educational opportunities afforded at the University of Georgia. The Morrill Act authorized the establishment of a system of land grant colleges, which supported, among other initiatives, agricultural education within the United States. The University of Georgia began to receive federal funds as a land grant college in 1872 and to offer instruction in agriculture and mechanical arts. The role of agricultural education and research has continued to grow ever since, and is now supported by experiment stations, 4-H centers, and marine institutes located throughout the state. The Athens campus forms the heart of the University of Georgia’s educational program. The university is composed of seventeen colleges and schools, some of which include auxiliary divisions that offer teaching, research, and service activities.

  • Post War Treatment of High Ranking
    Essential Civil War Curriculum | Clint Johnson, Post-War Treatment of High-Ranking Confederates | September 2020 Post-War Treatment of High-Ranking Confederates By Clint Johnson echnically, the shooting stopped at the Battle of Palmito Ranch, near Brownsville, Texas, on May 13, 1865. Except for the occupying Union forces stationed around the South for T nearly a decade during Reconstruction, most of the common soldiers on both sides put down their muskets and headed home. The difficult and emotional job of putting the country back together lay ahead, made even more explosive with the assassination of President Lincoln less than a month before the last shots were fired. Even if Lincoln had lived, the clash between him and Congress over the future of the nation would have been colossal President Lincoln had spent years developing his plans for reunion, but the Radical Republicans in Congress and in his own cabinet had their own ideas. As early as December 1863 Lincoln had proposed allowing Southern states to begin reconstituting their state governments when 10 percent of the 1860 voters had sworn loyalty oaths to the United States. The Radicals feared that so little proof of loyalty would allow the aristocrats to retain their power and their slaves. Lincoln tried taking a high, if vague road to reconciliation, at least when talking to the general public. When he gave his second inaugural address on March 4, 1865, a time when all remaining Confederate armies were clearly inferior to overwhelming Union forces, the President seemed to imply that he was ready to welcome the rebelling states back with open arms.

  • The Confederate and U.S. Constitutions and the Ways They Contrast
    The Confederate and U.S. Constitutions and the Ways They Contrast When considering what events have had the most sizable impact on America, the Civil War is certainly in contention. A transformative reckoning over the fate of the nation, the war ushered in a new era of America: a recognition of federal preeminence and legislated acceptance of equality of races, though certainly not complete at that time. The results of the war have had far-reaching implications in the institutions of today, and one needs only to watch the debate over Confederate symbols to see the still-bitter fight over issues from that time period. Highlighting the causes of the Civil War is the Constitution adopted by the Confederacy in its infancy. An integral document to the Confederacy’s creation, its outlining of Southern aims provides an insightful glimpse into the fundamental divides in America that led to war, and, to a lesser extent, to conflict today.
