  • 5:387 THESIS Presented to the Graduate
    378 / !, 5:387 JAMES K. POLK AND SLAVERY THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Richard Marsh, B. A. Denton, Texas August, 1977 Marsh, Richard Dean, James K. Polk and Slavery. Master of Arts (History), August, 1977, 125 pp., bibliography, 93 titles. As a plantation owner, James K. Polk had economic interests which were bound to that peculiar institution. Consequently, many of his decisions as a politician were influenced by his southern background. Although his partiality toward"southern rights" was evident, he did not let his personal bias interfere with his determination to preserve the nation. Throughout his public career, he maintained that slavery was being exploited as a "political question" to divide the United States. Even though his opponents branded him a "sectionalist" for his position on the issues of Texas annexation, the Mexican War, and slavery in the territories, he still remained a staunch nationalist. This study proves that James K. Polk's "southern convictions" were secondary in importance compared to his concern for the preservation of the Union. TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I. JAMES K.

    Correspondence of James K. Polk Transcriptions, April 1848 – June 1849 April 1848 2 FROM WILLIAM McLAIN My Dear Sir Colo. Rooms 1 April 1848 I was very anxious to have an interview with you, this morning, but could not. It is very important that I should see you to day, for a few minutes, on a matter connected with the operations of the Colonization Society. I am sorry to trouble you in this way, but I will be under lasting obligations for the favor of a few words. W. MCLAIN ALS. DLC–JKP. From Polk’s AE: received April 1, 1848. TO ANDREW J. DONELSON My Dear Sir: Washington City April 2nd 1848 I have received your letter of the 22nd of February, requesting leave of absence, for a short period in order to enable you to visit the United States. Upon conferring with Mr Buchanan I had determined to accede to your wishes, and would have done so, but for the sudden revolution which has occurred in France. That great event, renders, it highly necessary, if not indispensible, that all our diplomatic representatives in Europe, should remain at their posts, that they should 3 vigilenty watch, its effects upon the Governments to which they are respectively accredited, their policy in reference to it, and that they should keep their own Government regularly & minutely informed, of whatever may transpire. For these reasons I have felt constraind to decline accepting a request made by Mr Ingersoll to be recalled from St. Petersberg.1 If in the course of the next summer the condition of affairs in Europe should be such as to permit it, it will give me pleasure, to grant the leave which you ask.

  • Raising the Revolutionaries' Banner 1775-1776
    Vol. 4 No. 3_____________________________________________ __July-August-September 2007 Raising the Revolutionaries’ Banner 1775-1776 19th century magic lanternslide depicting SC Patriot Sgt. William Jasper of the 2d South Carolina Continental Line, commanded by Col. William Moultrie, heroically re-raising the battered South Carolina standard over the parapet of the sand and palmetto log Fort Sullivan during the British naval bombardment of June 28-29, 1776. Mike Coker, the South Carolina Historical Society’s image expert, reports that this image is from a lanternslide painted by artists at the C. W. Briggs Company. The title on the slide is: “Sergeant Jasper at Ft. Moultrie, 1776”; it is a transparency, collodion on glass; size 3 1/4 X 4 inches. The Briggs were an American family of lanternists, slide painters and manufacturers. Daniel Briggs started painting and selling slides in 1850. Later the firm became C. (Caspear) W. Briggs and Co. in Philadelphia. Slides were made from stock negatives and colored by hand. (1850-1930s) This slide’s artist is unknown. Image is courtesy of the SCII Regiment. Artist Lucy Brown made a painting of this image in 1975, the original of which hangs in the main offices of the South Carolina Forestry Commission, 5500 Broad River Road, Columbia.
