2013-Vol 70-4-Winter LOYAL LEGION HISTORICAL J O U R N A L The Publication of The Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States VOL. 70 No. 4 150th Civil War Anniversary Commemoration Issue Winter 2014 Dedication day our score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated F to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

One of the most broadly studied and written on eras of immigrant involvement in American military history is Irish immigrant service in the Union army during the American Civil War. Historians have disputed the exact number of Irish immigrants that donned the Union blue, with Susannah Ural stating nearly 150,000.1 Irish service in the Union army has evoked dozens of books and articles discussing the causes and motivations that inspired these thousands of immigrants to take up arms. In her book, The Harp and the Eagle: Irish American Volunteers and the Union Army, 1861-1865, Susannah Ural attributes Irish and specifically Irish Catholic service to “Dual loyalties to Ireland and America.”2 The notion of dual loyalty is fundamental to understand Irish involvement, but to take a closer look is to understand the true sense of Irish identity during the Civil War and how it manifested itself.

Neely, Jr. McCabe-Greer Professor in the American Civil War Era Matthew J. Restall Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Colonial Latin American History, Anthropology, and Women‘s Studies Carla J. Mulford Associate Professor of English *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT During the four years of the American Civil War, the twenty-three states that comprised the Union initiated one of the most unprecedented social transformations in U.S. History, mobilizing the Union Army. Strangely, scholars have yet to explore Civil War mobilization in a comprehensive way. Mobilization was a multi-tiered process whereby local communities organized, officered, armed, equipped, and fed soldiers before sending them to the front. It was a four-year progression that required the simultaneous participation of legislative action, military administration, benevolent voluntarism, and industrial productivity to function properly. Perhaps more than any other area of the North, cities most dramatically felt the affects of this transition to war. Generally, scholars have given areas of the urban North low marks. Statistics refute pessimistic conclusions; northern cities appeared to provide a higher percentage than the North as a whole.

    Vertner Woodson Tandy Scholarship Application Vertner Woodson Tandy Diverse Workforce 2021-22 Scholarship For Incoming Students 2751 Circleport Drive Erlanger, Kentucky 41018 (859) 331-9500 Sponsored by Al.Neyer, Inc. Vertner Woodson Tandy Scholarship Application This scholarship was established by Al. Neyer, LLC to increase the participation of females and minorities in the construction industry. It is named after Lexington, Kentucky–born Vertner Woodson Tandy (1885-1949). For him, construction ran in the family: His father was a respected mason whose firm built his hometown courthouse, among other prominent structures. After attending the Chandler School and the Tuskegee Institute, Tandy matriculated into Cornell to study architecture, where he was a founding member of the nation’s oldest African American fraternity. He would soon become the first black architect registered in New York state, where his landmarked structures include the 1910 St. Philip’s Episcopal Church in Harlem—the first black Episcopal church in New York and the second in the United States—which he designed with his firm partner George Washington Foster, the first black architect registered in New Jersey. Al. Neyer, LLC traces its inception to 1894. Gerard Joseph Matthew Neyer started a carpentry and contracting business in Cincinnati, OH. Today, Al. Neyer is an employee-owned corporation, led by Molly North, President & CEO, that designs, builds and develops projects in multiple states. For further information visit www.neyer.com. This scholarship will be awarded to an incoming first-year student in the Enzweiler Building (EBI) Institute who demonstrates strong potential and the desire to excel in the construction industry.
