  • Music and the American Civil War
    “LIBERTY’S GREAT AUXILIARY”: MUSIC AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by CHRISTIAN MCWHIRTER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2009 Copyright Christian McWhirter 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Music was almost omnipresent during the American Civil War. Soldiers, civilians, and slaves listened to and performed popular songs almost constantly. The heightened political and emotional climate of the war created a need for Americans to express themselves in a variety of ways, and music was one of the best. It did not require a high level of literacy and it could be performed in groups to ensure that the ideas embedded in each song immediately reached a large audience. Previous studies of Civil War music have focused on the music itself. Historians and musicologists have examined the types of songs published during the war and considered how they reflected the popular mood of northerners and southerners. This study utilizes the letters, diaries, memoirs, and newspapers of the 1860s to delve deeper and determine what roles music played in Civil War America. This study begins by examining the explosion of professional and amateur music that accompanied the onset of the Civil War. Of the songs produced by this explosion, the most popular and resonant were those that addressed the political causes of the war and were adopted as the rallying cries of northerners and southerners. All classes of Americans used songs in a variety of ways, and this study specifically examines the role of music on the home-front, in the armies, and among African Americans.

  • Evolution of the American Flag
    Evolution of the American Flag The American flag is a source of American history, legend, unity and respect. Through the years the number of stars in the canton has increased with the addition of new states, and the meaning of the flag has expanded to unimaginable heights. From its unofficial beginning as the Continental Colors or Grand Union flag to the long serving 50-star American Flag, Americans have been on a quest to protect, preserve and serve the flag. Today the flag flies everywhere from classrooms to federal buildings to homes and even cars. It’s internationally recognized in every country and city around the world.

(LFS 27) Introduction into the United States in the fifties, stereographs, as stereoscopic pictures are known, were at a high level of popularity at the time of the Lincoln funeral. It was natural, therefore, that enterprising photographers should make Springfield the subject of much activity during the first week in May, 1865.

Second Printing: October 2017 The Photographers President Elect Abraham Lincoln left Springfield, Illinois for Washington, D. C., on February 11, 1861. He had been elected President the previous November, and, in the intervening months, his home and his State House office were visited by many of his political allies and office seekers. I don’t believe there are any photographs of these activities nor of Lincoln’s departure from the Springfield on February 11. ____ months later, the body of Abraham Lincoln was returned to Springfield for burial4. On that occasion there were at least seven photographers who took 77 photographs of the Springfield funeral events.
