Ii ABSTRACT HARRIS, GEOFFREY SHIELDS
ABSTRACT HARRIS, GEOFFREY SHIELDS. Toward a New Whig Interpretation of History: Common Schools in Burke County, North Carolina, from 1853 to 1861. (Under the direction of Dr. James Crisp.) This thesis will examine both the history and historiography of the common school movement in western North Carolina in the last decades of the antebellum period. In particular, it will focus on common schools in Burke County during the years of school board chairman James Avery’s tenure (1853-1861). The attendance records James Avery kept during his tenure as chairman of the county board of common schools (now located in his personal papers at the Southern Historical Collection) provide a wealth of previously unexamined data relating to the operation of common schools at the county level. A detailed examination of these records yields new insights into common schools in antebellum North Carolina. These insights have both specific and general application. First, and most specifically, an analysis of Avery’s records fills a historical gap in our understanding of common schools in Burke County (a county whose official antebellum records on education have largely been destroyed). Second, and more generally, it provides a reliable measure of popular support for and participation in an institution that historians have alternately described as a tool of elite social control and an expression of yeoman democracy. By shifting the focus of the common school narrative from the state superintendent’s office to the county level, this study challenges several entrenched features of North Carolina common school historiography and provides a new window into the rhetoric and reality of class and sectional identity in antebellum North Carolina. -

Built by Geniuses to Be Run by the Inmates
Bui lt by Geni us es to be Run by the Inmates Introduction This page ( http://www.historicasylums.org/ ) is an attempt to catalog and pre s e nt Ame ri c a's hi s tori c ps yc hi atri c hos pi tals ( s tate hospitals; insane asylums) founded mostly in the latter half of the 19th century. The site gives special emphasis on the facilities built on the "Kirkbride plan", but it is not necessarily limited to the Kirkbride hospitals. The Kirkbride plan and the resulting bui ldi ngs represented great ambiti on on the part of both ps ychi atri c caregi vers and archi tects . Known Ki rkbri de hos pi tals are i ndi cated by a cli ckable Ki rkbri de label Type: Kirkride in the listings. Asylums outside of this scope, such as ones constructed in the 20th century are also included. To some, the asylums of the 19th century represent a darker period in mental health care, with involuntary incarcerati on, barbaric and ineffective treatments, and abuse of patients. However, there is also a legacy of progressive institutional treatment left by Dorothea Dix, Thomas Story Kirkbride, John Galt, and others represented by these buildings and sites. The sites that remain stand in monument to the successes and failures of these reforms and their efforts. The treatments and philosophies seem rather outdated and quant today, but at the time were a considered to be great improvement in the treatment of people perceived in need of psychiatric care. A large proportion of these historic institutions are no longe r ps yc hi atri c hos pi tals . -
