  • The History of Economic Inequality in Illinois
    The History of Economic Inequality in Illinois 1850 – 2014 March 4, 2016 Frank Manzo IV, M.P.P. Policy Director Illinois Economic Policy Institute www.illinoisepi.org The History of Economic Inequality in Illinois EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Illinois Economic Policy Institute study is the first ever historical analysis of economic inequality in Illinois. Illinois blossomed from a small agricultural economy into the transportation, manufacturing, and financial hub of the Midwest. Illinois has had a history of sustained population growth. Since 2000, the state’s population has grown by over 460,000 individuals. As of 2014, 63 percent of Illinois’ population resides in a metropolitan area and 24 percent have a bachelor’s degree or more – both historical highs. The share of Illinois’ population that is working has increased over time. Today, 66 percent of Illinois’ residents are in the labor force, up from 57 percent just five decades ago. Employment in Illinois has shifted, however, to a service economy. While one-third of the state’s workforce was in manufacturing in 1950, the industry only employs one-in-ten Illinois workers today. As manufacturing has declined, so too has the state’s labor movement: Illinois’ union coverage rate has fallen by 0.3 percentage points per year since 1983. The decade with the lowest property wealth inequality and lowest income inequality in Illinois was generally the 1960s. In these years, the Top 1 Percent of homes were 2.2 times as valuable as the median home and the Top 1 Percent of workers earned at least 3.4 times as much as the median worker.

  • Former Governors of Illinois
    FORMER GOVERNORS OF ILLINOIS Shadrach Bond (D-R*) — 1818-1822 Illinois’ first Governor was born in Maryland and moved to the North - west Territory in 1794 in present-day Monroe County. Bond helped organize the Illinois Territory in 1809, represented Illinois in Congress and was elected Governor without opposition in 1818. He was an advo- cate for a canal connecting Lake Michigan and the Illinois River, as well as for state education. A year after Bond became Gov ernor, the state capital moved from Kaskaskia to Vandalia. The first Illinois Constitution prohibited a Governor from serving two terms, so Bond did not seek reelection. Bond County was named in his honor. He is buried in Chester. (1773- 1832) Edward Coles (D-R*) — 1822-1826 The second Illinois Governor was born in Virginia and attended William and Mary College. Coles inherited a large plantation with slaves but did not support slavery so he moved to a free state. He served as private secretary under President Madison for six years, during which he worked with Thomas Jefferson to promote the eman- cipation of slaves. He settled in Edwardsville in 1818, where he helped free the slaves in the area. As Governor, Coles advocated the Illinois- Michigan Canal, prohibition of slavery and reorganization of the state’s judiciary. Coles County was named in his honor. He is buried in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (1786-1868) Ninian Edwards (D-R*) — 1826-1830 Before becoming Governor, Edwards was appointed the first Governor of the Illinois Territory by President Madison, serving from 1809 to 1818. Born in Maryland, he attended college in Pennsylvania, where he studied law, and then served in a variety of judgeships in Kentucky.

Village of St. Philippe, Illinois St. Philippe was a French village in Monroe County, Illinois.

Kimball Central Publications Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Illinois ©2014 Southern Illinois University Edwardsville 2nd edition, revised and enlarged, May, 1966 FOREWORD In the course of developing a book and manuscript collection and in providing reference service to students and faculty, a univeristy library frequently prepares special bibliographies, some of which may prove to be of more than local interest. The Bibliographic Contributions series, of which this is the first number, has been created as a means of sharing the results of such biblio­ graphic efforts with our colleagues in other universities. The contribu­ tions to this series will appear at irregular intervals, will vary widely in subject matter and in comprehensiveness, and will not necessarily follow a uniform bibliographic format. Because many of the contributions will be by-products of more extensive research or will be of a tentative nature, the series is presented in this format. Comments, additions, and corrections will be welcomed by the compilers. The author of the initial contribution in the series is Associate Professor of History of Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, Illinois. He has been engaged in research on the Nauvoo period of the Mormon Church since he came to the university in 1959 and has published numerous articles on this subject.

  • Chapter Twenty-Five “This Damned Old House” the Lincoln Family In
    Chapter Twenty-five “This Damned Old House” The Lincoln Family in the Executive Mansion During the Civil War, the atmosphere in the White House was usually sober, for as John Hay recalled, it “was an epoch, if not of gloom, at least of a seriousness too intense to leave room for much mirth.”1 The death of Lincoln’s favorite son and the misbehavior of the First Lady significantly intensified that mood. THE WHITE HOUSE The White House failed to impress Lincoln’s other secretaries, who disparaged its “threadbare appearance” and referred to it as “a dirty rickety concern.”2 A British journalist thought it beautiful in the moonlight, “when its snowy walls stand out in contrast to the night, deep blue skies, but not otherwise.”3 The Rev. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler asserted that the “shockingly careless appearance of the White House proved that whatever may have been Mrs. Lincoln’s other good qualities, she hadn’t earned the compliment which the Yankee farmer paid to his wife when he said: ‘Ef my wife haint got an ear fer music, she’s got an eye for dirt.’”4 The north side of the Executive 1 John Hay, “Life in the White House in the Time of Lincoln,” in Michael Burlingame, ed., At Lincoln’s Side: John Hay’s Civil War Correspondence and Selected Writings (Carbondale: Southern Illinois University Press, 2000), 134. 2 William O.

  • Illinois Prairies 101
    Illinois Department of Natural Resources Division of Education One Natural Resources Way Springfield, IL 62702 ENTICE – Environment and Nature Training Institute for Conservation Education Illinois Prairies 101 Part I Geology Many factors interact to determine the vegetation of any site, regardless of size. Bedrock geology, glacial history, soils, moisture, climate, grazing animals, and fire have combined to directly influence the distribution of prairies and forests within Illinois. With a different climate, glacial history or fire history, the vegetation of Illinois would have been vastly different from that observed and described by the French explorers when they arrived in the late 1600s. Some of these factors, such as bedrock, are largely obscured in Illinois by a thick layer of till deposited by the action of glaciers many thousands of years ago. The only places where bedrock is exposed are along the deeply incised valleys of the Illinois, Mississippi, Ohio and Wabash rivers and their tributaries, or along fault lines at various locations throughout the state. The bedrock of Illinois resulted from the deposition of marine organisms during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras in the period 65 to 570 million years ago. Bedrock from these two geologic time periods differs not just in age, but also in location and thickness. Paleozoic bedrock, the most widely distributed, is present throughout much of Illinois. Its maximum thickness is approximately 14,000 feet compared to the maximum thickness of only 500 feet for Mesozoic era bedrock present in southern Illinois. The most common and probably best-known type of bedrock in Illinois is limestone, a sedimentary rock formed at the bottom of ancient seas mostly by the deposition of shells, coral skeletons, and secretions from certain types of algae.
