    1 HARDTACK Indianapolis Civil War Round Table Newsletter http://indianapoliscwrt.org/ October 8, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. Meeting at Indiana History Center Auditorium 450 West Ohio Street The Plan of the Day “An Irrepressible Conflict”: Civil War Rioting in Cincinnati, 1862 Cincinnati in 1862, lithograph in Harper’s Weekly In July of 1862, Irish workers in Cincinnati rioted to keep black workers from laboring on the docks, and attempted to “clean out” African American residential sections of the city. A precursor to the more infamous New York draft riots of 1863, the violence was triggered by the prospect of a draft and the rumored arming of black soldiers. Fearing that their jobs would be threatened by emancipation and an influx of black workers, immigrant laborers tried to establish themselves as true citizens and African Americans as interlopers. During the Civil War, as at other times in the nation’s history, black men staked their claims to citizenship on their loyal labor and their armed service—not just in federal armies, but in defense of their homes and livelihoods. When black workers organized in self-defense, white Cincinnatians quickly formed militia units in response. This wartime rioting followed patterns of antebellum riots, but the emancipation of African Americans and their military service during the war created a clear turning point in black demands for social citizenship.

  • D Ocu Me 11T S the LETTERS of GODLOVE S
    D ocu me 11t s THE LETTERS OF GODLOVE S. ORTH, HOOSIER WHIG Edited by J. HERMANSCHAUINGER With the election of William Henry Harrison to the presidency in 1841, the Whig party took charge of national affairs. His nomination also helped the party in Indiana, but its triumph in the nation and the state was short-lived. Its connection in Indiana with internal improvements, which proved so disastrous after the panic of 1837, was to return to haunt its members during the forties. The death of Har- rison left the national party without adequate leadership and it divided into its various factions. For it was a party of compromise, made up of diverse and incompatible elements, and so was destined to disintegrate and to disappear from the scene. The rise of the slavery issue and the appearance of the Liberty and Free Soil parties was to hasten this dis- integration. Much has been written about the Whig party in the national arena, but comparatively little about its activity in various states. Often national careers began in state poli- tics, and some were terminated by the concurrence of leaders in the various states, who, although not known in national circles, were important political figures at home. The letters of Godlove S. Orth in the period of the 1840’s illustrate these points. The letter of August 16, 1845, con- tains an interesting description of the differences among Indiana Whigs. Other letters reveal the seriousness of the internal improvement issue. Orth’s distrust of General Zach- ary Taylor is also clearly stated, and finally the discourage- ment caused by frequent defeat and the appearance of the Liberty party is evident.

  • Microfilm Publication M617, Returns from U.S
    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.

Admitted to the Union in 1816, Indiana was carved out of the Old Northwest Territory, which the U.S. Government had wrested from Native Americans by force during the late 18 th and early 19 th centuries. Indiana encompasses 36,185 square miles and is bordered by Lake Michigan and the state of Michigan to the north, Ohio to the east, Kentucky to the south, and Illinois to the west. Indiana’s long southern border formed by the Ohio River gives the state excellent access by water to points farther east and ready access to the Mississippi River to the south and west. On the eve of the Civil War in 1861, Indiana’s population stood at 1.35 million; the state had undergone a significant population boom in the decades preceding the war. Indiana residents generally supported the Abraham Lincoln administration’s efforts to maintain the Union during this conflict, although there was significant opposition to the war effort and some level of sympathy for the Confederacy, especially in the southern portion of the state.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

Shortly after his arrival, Randolph was appointed Attorney General for the territory by Governor William Henry Harrison. In 1810 he married Catherine Lawrence, a stepdaughter of General James Dill. Randolph was the Virginia, or pro-slavery, party's choice for Congress in 1809, but he was defeated by Jonathan Jennings in the election for Territorial Representative by thirty-nine votes. Randolph contested the election, but his appeal was denied by the election committee.
