Winter 2015 Volume XI 2 1 The Michigan Journal of History Winter 2015 Volume XI 2 About the Cover The Donovan Elementary School stood at 944 Wall Street in Ann Arbor for almost 75 years. It was originally constructed in 1909 and named after the local grocer, Patrick Donovan. On the cover, we see one of the few remaining photographs of the Donovan School – the class of Miss Lily E. Goodhew, taken in February 1911. The school was eventually demolished in 1984 to make room for University of Michigan’s Kellog Eye Center. Cover photo title: The Donovan Elementary School; Date: 1911; Collection title: University of Michigan; Located in Bentley Historical Library 3 A Letter from the Editor-in-Chief Dear Readers, I am happy to report that the Michigan Journal of History has once again received a record number of submissions from students not only across the country but internationally as well. Our team spent months working our way through these truly impressive submissions, and it was incredibly difficult to decide what would go in to this issue. In the end, we selected the following papers which present often unexplored and overlooked topics and perspectives. Once again, I cannot extend enough thanks to all those who made this issue a success. As this publication continues to grow, we must constantly learn how to grow and evolve with it. This process takes a lot of patience and dedication, and the editing team behind this journal proved they were up to the challenge— everyone giving their all to make this issue come together. I’d like to thank them all for their efforts as well as the faculty and History Department at the University of Michigan who continue to support this publication. Lastly, thank you to the students who submit and whose hard work continues to exceed our expectations.

Prior to the unfolding events, race relations in Meridian remained quite peaceful – but the increase of blacks and their newfound liberties established an underlying tension among the two groups. With the arrival of outsiders from Alabama, who engaged in intimidating and kidnapping blacks, the fragile balance of tolerance disappeared. This paper aims to illustrate a story in which the incendiary actions of minority groups within the black community instilled fear and heightened the stakes for the local whites. In light of an opportunity for retaliatory violence, local whites responded with an effort to preserve their position of power in the status quo social hierarchy by suppressing and destroying black progress in Meridian, Mississippi. This case study will focus on a small, but rising town of Meridian, Mississippi, in the year 1871. Due to its historical scope, there are limited secondary sources directly related to the events in Meridian – but the conflict itself can be explored and analyzed within the framework of larger works concerned with violence during the early Reconstruction period, such as Hannah Rosen’s Terror in the Heart of Freedom and Altina Waller’s “Community, Class and Race in the Memphis Riot of 1866.” The existing narrative will be extracted from the extensive, detailed thirteen-volume collection of reports and testimonies produced by a forty-second Congress 8 Congressional committee.1 An analysis of these reports and testimonies will illustrate Meridian as a racially divided, but relatively peaceful town during the period preceding the riot. The series of events which followed, led to the ultimate suppression of the entire black community, the expulsion of Republican Party interests, and the reestablishment of a political and social order favoring a white, patriarchal hierarchy. Literature Review As evidenced in both Hannah Rosen’s Terror in the Heart of Freedom and Altina Waller’s “Community, Class and Race in the Memphis Riot of 1866,” the rise of racially motivated violence in the South developed out of complex reasons. In both works, the authors examine physical violence and psychological intimidation by white men in the South as a method to preserve the status quo.2 The difference between the two works lies in exactly what was at stake for each community. Whereas in Rosen’s book, acts of terror were deployed in local communities as a general tool to maintain white patriarchal dominance, Waller’s article presents an argument centered around racial targeting as an externality of a general issue over class. Together, the two pieces develop a narrative in which any attempt from blacks to compete in the South transformed into violent retaliation, ultimately subjugating the status of blacks through the use of fear and intimidation. In the context of this paper, Waller’s argument is particularly useful to understanding the events leading up to the riot and the reasons for the initial black mobilization. In his study of the 1866 race riot in Memphis, Waller argues that the dynamics which led to race riots emerged 1 Testimony taken by the Joint Select Committee to inquire into the Condition of Affairs in the Late Insurrectionary States: Mississippi, Vol. I (Washington, DC., Government Printing Office, 1872) 2 (1) Hannah Rosen. Terror in the Heart of Freedom: Citizenship, Sexual Violence, and the Meaning of Race in the Postemancipation South. (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2009.) (2) Altina L. Waller. "Community, Class and Race in the Memphis Riot of 1866". Journal of Social History, Vol. 18, No. 2 (Winter, 1984), pp: 233 - 246 9 primarily from economic tensions caused between newly settled blacks and white, predominantly Irish, unskilled laborers. Diverging from the traditional and most common narrative of racial targeting, Waller states, “…race was not the single or even primary determinant of who would be victimized in the riot. Rioters were angry at newcomers who flooded their neighborhood, not only because they overwhelmed the racial composition of the community, but because they upset its established social and class structure…”3 This analysis provides an insight to the complexities which emerged from the newly granted rights of relocation and the freedom of movement during Reconstruction. It also presents evidence which argues that a large portion of Memphis remained insulated from race riots, where blacks and whites existed simultaneously without widespread racially-motivated violence. The argument will be made that Meridian similarly existed within the description of racial peace, but crimes committed by incoming Alabamians disrupted relations and led to a provocation of terror campaigns from both local Meridian camps. Once the level of fear and intimidation heightened due to the incendiary actions of both armed blacks and whites, widespread violence erupted. Through Rosen’s analysis of terror campaigns across the South, it becomes evident how specifically targeted events evolved into an exercise of widespread racially motivated violence to ensure both safety and a stake in future hierarchal power. Prior to the collapse of the slave system which dominated the Southern economy since the founding of the United States, members of the abolition movement championed the idea of “Slave Power Conspiracy.”4 The term was used in reference to the tremendous amount of political power seen to be held by Southern slaveholders. Ultimately, with the defeat of the Confederate Army and the Union

  • Montaretto - Ginny Mission II - Ameglia
    World War II - Montaretto - Ginny Mission II - Ameglia 22-26 March 1944 On the night of 22 March 1944, two officers and thirteen Italian-American soldiers of the 2677th Special Reconnaissance Battalion of the Armed Forces of the United States of America travelled by MTB from Bastia, Corsica to the stretch of coastline located between Bonassola and Framura, about 35 miles North-West of La Spezia. The mission was to blow up a nearby railway tunnel. At that time the Genova to La Spezia railway line was being used to re-supply German troops fighting at Monte Cassino and Anzio, some 250 miles away. Throughout the operation all troops were in uniform and not wearing civilian clothes. Unfortunately, the Germans had realised the vulnerability of the railway tunnel entrances and had set up stout well-manned defences with no obvious weak points. The American soldiers attempted to evade capture but were eventually apprehended on the morning of 24 March 1944 by a mixed formation comprising soldiers of the fascist Socialist Republic of Italy and German troops. All 15 soldiers were taken to nearby La Spezia, where the German 135th Fortress Brigade had its headquarters, and were interrogated by two officers from German naval intelligence. During questioning, one of the soldiers revealed the purpose of the mission. On 24 March the 135th Fortress Brigade reported the capture to the 75th German Army Corps. On the morning of March 25 the Brigade received a telegram signed by General Dostler (head of the 75th German Army Corps) which demanded that the prisoners be shot immediately.

Guida archivistica alla memoria La popolazione toscana è stata duramente colpita nel e da una tragica serie di eccidi perpetrati dai soldati della Wehrmacht e da formazioni italiane della Repubblica sociale.

  • Nazi War Crimes, US Intelligence and Selective Prosecution at Nuremberg
    Nazi War Crimes, US Intelligence and Selective Prosecution at Nuremberg Controversies regarding the role of the Office of Strategic Services Nazi War Crimes, US Intelligence and Selective Prosecution at Nuremberg provides a balanced but critical discussion of the contribution of American intelligence officials to the Nuremberg war crimes trials process. It discusses the role of such officials in mobilising the unique resources of a modern intelligence agency in order to provide a range of important trial evidence and undertake controversial plea-bargaining negotiations. The book also reviews recently declassified US intelligence documents to provide new details of how senior Nazi war criminals, such as SS-General Karl Wolff, were provided with effective immunity deals, partly as a reward for their wartime cooperation with US intelligence officials, including Allen Dulles, former CIA Director. This historical case study suggests that both war crimes prosecutors and intelligence officials can engage in mutually beneficial collaborations. The proviso, Michael Salter argues, is that both sides need to recognise and appreciate the problems that may arise from the fact that these institutitions are required to operate according to different, and in some cases contradictory, agendas.
