"Rebels to the Core": Memphians Under William T. Sherman
"Rebels to the Core": Memphians under William T. Sherman By John Bordelon Tis idle to talk about Union men here. Many want Peace, and fear war & its results but all prefer a Southern Independent Government, and are fighting or working for it. Major General William T. Sherman 1 Memphis, Tennessee, August 11, 1862 Citizens representing various segments of Memphis society, from a southern judge to daring "lady smugglers," engaged in unconventional warfare against the occupying Union presence under Major General William Tecumseh Sherman. White Memphians resisted Federal occupation and aided the Confederacy by smuggling goods, harboring spies, manipulating trade, burning cotton, attacking steamers, and expressing ideological opposition through the judicial system. In occupied Memphis, Sherman never confronted a conventional army. Instead, he faced relentless opposition from civilians sympathetic to the Confederacy. Previous scholarship on Memphis during the Civil War treats examines the city's experience from numerous angles.2 However, the extent of civilian devotion to the Confederacy and willingness to actively pursue their cause deserves further exploration. Focusing on the actions of pro-Confederate Memphians during one officers tenure in the occupied city allows for a more intimate understanding of the character of the city during wartime. Because of a shortage of extant writings of Memphians during the war, the correspondence of W T. Sherman provides valuable insight into the experience of the city in 1862. 1 W T. Sherman to Salmon P. Chase, August 11, 1862, as published in Brooks D. Simpson and Jean V. Berlin, eds., Sherman's Civil Wftr: Selected Correspondence ofWilliam T Sherman, 1860-1865 (Chapel Hill, N.C.: University of North Carolina Press, 1999), 270.

Departmental Communication
We cordially invite you to participate in this community environmental project: Reducing Exposure to Airborne Chemical Toxics (REACT) via Community-Scale Air Monitoring in Memphis What is the REACT study? The REACT study is funded by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It aims to measure the pollution levels of toxic air pollutants (also called “air toxics”) in the Memphis area. The results are expected to tell whether the air toxics in your neighborhood can cause any adverse health effects. The study will rely on a major collaboration of the Shelby County Health Department, the University of Memphis, and the Middle Tennessee State University to perform air toxics sampling and analysis. Why are you being invited to take part in this research? You are being invited to take part in this study because the location of your home may be representative of your neighborhood. What are the eligibility requirements? You are eligible to participate if you have a secured (e.g., fenced) backyard and allow our field staff to deploy the sampler(s) there. Where is the study going to take place and how long will it last? We will have four visits to your backyard, one time each season over a one- year period. At each visit, our field staff will deploy one or two canisters in your backyard, and leave them there for 1 day. The deployment of sampling devices will take about 15 minutes, and the retrieval will take about 10 minutes. The field staff will perform all the operations. The canister does not require any power or care, nor does it have any noise.
