While surrenders at Appomattox Court House in Virginia and Bennett Place in North Caro- lina formally concluded hostilities between Union and Confederate forces, the echoes of that great fratricidal conflagration remain with us today. Dutchess County soil did not feel the primary impact of that conflict: no battles were fought here nor was our coun- ty occupied by enemy forces. Thousands of Dutchess County men, however, bled and died on far-flung battlefields, while the civilian population at home worked tirelessly to support military ac- tions to the southwards. The following pages explore the many facets of our Civil War’s impact on Dutchess County life. The Forum section includes firsthand accounts from Dutchess County veterans mixed with scholarly perspectives on the Civil War’s deep roots in Dutchess County, including connections with the 1788 Constitution Ratification Convention in Poughkeepsie and our home-grown abolitionist movement. A special photo essay probes the experience of the Civil War Living History hobby. The Gen- eral History Articles section explores a variety of other stories from our county’s past, including the apple industry, summer camps, and family stories. This volume continues the Yearbook’s sterling record of linking local perspectives to our nation’s greatest events. by William P. Tatum III Dutchess County Historian xii DCHS YEARBOOK 2014 Letter from the Editor Now, in 2015, we are looking back over 150 years to the end of the greatest conflict in American history and the one that, arguably, has most shaped our nation. For decades before the first shot was fired at Fort Sumter in the harbor at Charleston, South Carolina, the nation was ripping itself apart over how American life was to be shaped then and in the future. The words from the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence rang with a clarion call: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are creat- ed equal...” But not all citizens heard the same message. Many in the South sought to maintain a way of life built on upholding the principle of States’ Rights, the cultivation of cotton, and the free labor of African-Americans; in addition they sought to extend their laws into western territories and new states. Meanwhile, many in the North took a contrary view that “all men created equal” meant that slavery should end. The Forum section for the 2015 yearbook is devoted to topics relating to the Civil War. We have had a great many submissions on this subject and, thus, will continue the theme of the Civil War next year. The narrative of a young soldier from Amenia and his father shortly after the battle of Gettysburg is the starting point for our look at the Civil War and Dutchess County, as the war touched every soldier and every civilian in the northern States and the southern states, not least our own county. This story is fol- lowed by four essays related to slavery and events preceding the war and, then, two eye witness accounts of the war by men who were soldiers. There follows an essay describing how we today attempt to re-create the life and times of the Civil War through living history. Finally, as part of the Forum section, we offer a compelling scholarly account of the final months of fighting in 1865 as the war drew to a difficult close. In the Articles section, yearbook 2015 also presents materials on the general history of the coun- ty with essays on a new collection from a family with an apple orchard business, a Yiddish camp in Beacon, a memoir of life in the mid-twentieth century, and a genealogy of a Rhinebeck family. By the election of Abraham Lincoln as President and the start of the war in 1860 and 1861, the focus of the conflict between North and South had shifted dramatically from the issue of slavery to the question of preser- vation of the union of the United States of America. Soon young men of Dutchess County would be signing up to fight in the Union army for duty and country. Working as editor of this volume, I had my own discoveries— one of them being this fact, that is—that at the beginning of hostilities in TITLE xiii 1861 and thereafter, there was a significant shift in the written words of ordinary people from discussions of the expansion of slavery into new territories to discussions of keeping the country together. Not until twenty- five years later would many men who had fought in the war—such as Judge Gildersleeve in this issue—look back with pride and say that one of the primary objectives

WALKER (Under the Direction of Johnathan O‘Neill) ABSTRACT Interpretations of the Second Amendment‘s original meaning encompass two extremes: an ―individual rights‖ interpretation which argues that it protects each person‘s right to own and use weapons for any non-criminal purpose; and a ―collective rights‖ interpretation which asserts that it protects only the states‘ right to maintain a National Guard force. Both positions cater to contemporary political agendas, display excessive presentism, lack lucid historical analysis, and ignore federalism and its bearing on the Second Amendment‘s original meaning. This thesis uncovers the ideological and historical origins of the right to keep and bear arms and interprets the original meaning of the Second Amendment in the context of the ratification debates and the Bill of Rights.

  • Heroes of the Convention
    Nation at the Crossroads: Video Transcript The Great New York Debate over the Constitution, 1787-88 Heroes of the Convention Pauline Maier: I think the New York Convention had a couple of heroes. One was John Jay, who was not one of these flashy orators like Robert R. Livingston or Alexander Hamilton, but who was courteous, who treated the opposition with politeness, which . who made an effort not to distort what they were saying but who was very firm that the Convention could not ratify with conditions, and who was working very hard to find some middle way that everybody could agree upon. I donʼt think he could have done it, however, without the man who was the greater hero of the two, and that is Melancton Smith. Smith was a merchant, he came from Dutchess County, had moved actually to Manhattan in the 1780s. He was one of the leading advisors of Governor George Clinton, but he had understood from early on that circumstances were shifting and that if perhaps in the beginning of the ratification controversy it made some sense to say we wonʼt ratify unless the Constitution is changed. After this Constitution had been ratified, you couldnʼt do that anymore. Now many of his colleagues remained adamant and even more so thought that their constituents were unwilling to live under a constitution that had not yet been ratified. Melancton Smith was willing to say circumstances have changed, what made sense then does not make sense now, and we have to modify what we do. And it was he and a handful of like-thinking members of the Antifederalist/Republican delegates who managed to see to it that New York ratified the Constitution.

  • The Federalist (And Antifederalist) Review Guide
    The Federalist (and Antifederalist) Review Guide The Federalist Papers were authored by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay in the fall/winter of 1787-1788. Federalists believed in a strong central government and used the press to encourage ratification of the newly proposed Constitution through a series of “letters to the people” espousing (supporting) the virtues and protections the new document would give the American people as well as solve many of the problems of the Articles of Confederation. The letters were signed “Publius” which is Greek for “public.” Several of the papers are notable for their specific arguments on the importance of the newly created Constitution principles such as Federalism, checks & balances, limited government, and separation of powers. The Antifederalist Papers were written as a result of huge debate against ratifying the Constitution. Theses arguments appeared in various forms and by various authors. The authors used pseudonyms (fake names). While the authors of the Antifederalist Papers are not provided in any particular list, the major authors include Cato (likely George Clinton), Brutus (likely Robert Yates), Centinel (Samuel Bryan), and the Federal Farmer (either Melancton Smith, Richard Henry Lee, or Mercy Otis Warren). Other pseudonyms/authors include An Old Whig, Aristocrotis, Leonidas, Agrippa (John Winthrop), Candidus, A Customer, William Penn, Philadelphiensis, Richard Henry Lee, William Grayson and more. Patrick Henry’s speeches may also be considered as “Antifederalist” work. These papers contained warnings of dangers from tyranny that weaknesses in the proposed Constitution did not adequate protect against. Some of these dangers were corrected with the adoption of the Bill of Rights.
