PARADISE FOUND: RELIGIOSITY AND REFORM IN OBERLIN, OHIO, 1833-1859 A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of the Arts History by Matthew David Hintz May 2012 Accepted by: H. Roger Grant, Committee Chair C. Alan Grubb Orville V. Burton ABSTRACT Founded as a quasi-utopian society by New England evangelists, Oberlin became the central hub of extreme social reform in Ohio’s Western Reserve. Scholars have looked at Oberlin from political and cultural perspectives, but have placed little emphasis on religion. That is to say, although religion is a major highlight of secondary scholarship, few have placed the community appropriately in the dynamic of the East and West social reform movement. Historians have often ignored, or glossed over this important element and how it represented the divergence between traditional orthodoxy in New England and Middle-Atlantic states, and the new religious hybrids found in the West.

DuBois, Chair Although devoted to insuring universal freedom and human rights for more than 60 years, Henry B. Stanton’s historical legacy and his many contributions to antebellum reform have been obscured and even vilified in the shadows of his famous wife, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and his oftentimes tactical opponent within abolition circles, William Lloyd Garrison. Frequently portrayed as the antagonist in his wife’s struggle for women’s rights, as a husband and a father Henry Stanton has become synonymous in the historical discourse with the very oppression his wife devoted her life to ending. Because of this, Elizabeth’s reformism is frequently depicted as having emerged from an imagined unhappy domestic life, rather than from an awareness of social and political inequalities.

Each group member has 8-10 minutes to read about the person on the page they chose. Try to memorize the person’s name, their biography, and their major accomplishments. 3. After everyone is done reading, hold a conversation, as if you were meeting each person in the group for the first time at a party. Role play as the historical figure featured on the page chosen.

Name: Lyman Beecher Profession: Presbyterian Minister Dates: 1775-1863 Bio: Lyman Beecher was born in New Haven, Connecticut. He was raised by his uncle, who worked as a blacksmith and farmer. Beecher was an intellec- tually curious adolescent, and entered Yale University in 1793. After grad- uating, he studied at Yale Divinity School, and soon became an ordained minister. From there, Beecher worked in churches throughout New England before settling in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1832. While Beecher did not participate in the camp meetings characteristic of the Second Great Awakening, he was involved in many of the social causes related to the revivals.

  • Chapter 16: the South and the Slave Controversy
    AP U.S. History – Unit 6 – Westward Expansion: The Economic and Social Issues (1790-1860) Chapter 16: The South and the Slave Controversy Enduring Understanding: Social, political, religious, international, technological, and economic issues contributed to the growth of the United States in the early 1800s. While there was conflict abroad, political partisanship, economic growth, and social and religious movements at home developed the American character. Concepts: Partisanship, Judicial Review, Internationalism, Isolationism, the Second Great Awakening, Abolitionism, Feminism, Industrialization, Expansionism, Nationalism, Nativism, Universal Male Suffrage, Women’s Suffrage Topic/Take-Away: The explosion of cotton production fastened the slave system deeply upon the South, creating a complex, hierarchical racial and social order that deeply affected whites as well as blacks. Topic/Take-Away: The economic benefits of an increasing production of cotton due to the cotton gin and slavery was shared between the South, the North, and Britain. The economics of cotton and slavery also led to bigger and bigger plantations, since they could afford the heavy investment of human capital. Topic/Take-Away: The emergence of a small but energetic radical abolitionist movement caused a fierce proslavery backlash in the South and a slow but steady growth of moderate antislavery sentiment in the North.

    Draft—Do not cite without permission of the author Chapter I: The Contradictions of American Democracy in the Antebellum Years: The Inadequacy of the Constitution; The Rise of the Anti-Slavery and Woman’s Rights Movements Between 1815 and 1860, the new nation consolidated its identity and expanded its boundaries.1 This was a time of economic growth and internal improvements.2 The antebellum era witnessed a “transformation” of the private law of torts, contracts, property, and commercial law that has been said to have unleashed “emergent entrepreneurial and commercial groups to win a disproportionate share of wealth and power in American society,” all in the name of promoting economic growth.3 These years also witnessed significant democratization of the American polity. Even though the new nation’s charter incorporated the revolutionary principle of “popular sovereignty” or the consent of the governed, its political structures and practices had been designed to be far from democratic in the beginning.4 After 1815, however, the spreading trend in the states toward universal white adult male suffrage accelerated significantly, culminating with the election of Andrew Jackson in 1828.5 The people and party operatives who put this man of humble origins into the White House poured into Washington D.C. for his inauguration. “Never before had an American ceremony of state turned into such a democratic and charismatic spectacle.”6 From the perspective of divisions between the social classes, Jacksonianism represented important gains for egalitarian thinking in politics.7 The subsequent decades before the Civil War saw a flowering of reform ferment in the United States.

  • H. T. Weld Family History
    HENRY THOMAS WELD FAMILY HISTORY Including the Research of Guy Sinclair in Great Britain Written by William Bauman C & O Canal Association Volunteer Revised SEPTEMBER 2016 1 2 PREFACE This family history was written starting with the Last Will and Testament of Henry Thomas Weld, then the disposition of his estate, then the Last Will and Testament of his wife, Harriet Emily Weld, and what could be found about the disposition of her estate. Then census data was found and, with the help of Guy Sinclair of Great Britain, the table of family statistics was built. From there newspapers and other sources were culled to fill in the life and time of this couple. They had no children and so this branch of the family tree stops with their deaths. There is a lot of information provided as attachments which the casual reader is not expected to read. It is included for completeness; many of the references are obscure and thus, rather than tax the family devotees to reconstruct them, I have included them here. Mr. & Mrs. Weld wintered in Baltimore and had a summer residence in Mount Savage; he had coal mining interests as well as a canal boat building yard to run. Presumably he commuted to Cumberland. The inventory of Mr. Weld's estate shows they lived comfortably. The General Index to Deeds, Etc., Allegany County, Md. lists 79 deeds, starting from 1844 through 1894, under the family name Weld. Most of the deeds were in Henry’s name, a few in Harriet’s name and the balance in both their names.

Lincoln and the Abolitionists Abstract It has always been one of the ironies of the era of the Civil War and the end of slavery in the United States that the man who played the role of Great Emancipator of the slaves was so hugely mistrusted and so energetically vilified by the party of abolition. Abraham Lincoln, whatever his larger reputation as the liberator of more than three million black slaves in the Emancipation Proclamation, has never entirely shaken off the er putation of being something of a half-heart about it.
