In this game, students are divided into two factions debating the ratification of a treaty of annexation between the United States and the Republic of Texas drafted by Secretary of State John C. Calhoun and submitted to the United States Senate in April 1841. The debate takes into consideration questions of Manifest Destiny, imperialism, party politics, slavery, and sectionalism. Students may choose to ratify the treaty as written or endorse alternative proposals submitted during the course of debate. Game Schedule This game is designed for a single two hour class but may be divided into two one hour class periods if needed. Roles This game consists of eight roles, as follows: Anti-annexation Faction Sen. William S. Archer (W-VA) Sen. Thomas Hart Benton (D-MO) Sen. John MacPherson Berrien (W-GA) Sen. Spencer Jarnagin (W-TN) Pro-Annexation Faction Sen. James Buchanan (D-PA) Sen. George McDuffie (D-SC) Sen. Ambrose H. Sevier (D-AR) Sen. Levi Woodbury (D-NH) Characters have certain predefine concerns about the Texas issue, but if those concerns can be met by well-reasoned arguments, characters may vote against their own faction’s interests. If the GM Texas Annexation: A Short Reacting to the Past Game 5 considers a vote change to be too far removed from a character’s core beliefs, the GM may challenge the player to defend his vote. The Game Master (GM) will assume the role of president of the Senate. In such capacity he will maintain order in the Senate, ensure proper decorum, and recognize senators to present their speeches. Winning the Game To win the game each faction must accomplish their factional goals. The anti-annexation faction must either prevent ratification of the treaty or gain passage of the Benton resolution. The pro- annexation faction must gain ratification of the treaty. Strategy Neither faction has sufficient members to guarantee their factional goals. It is thus incumbent upon them to lobby members of the opposing faction to secure the necessary votes for success. Because both factions begin with an equal number of players, it is much easier for the supporters of the Benton resolution to gain a majority vote than it is for supporters of the treaty to gain a two thirds majority. This allows the game to approximate the historical realities which led to the treaty’s defeat. Assignments All players are required to give a five minute speech in support of their faction’s positions. Speeches will also be submitted in writing using appropriate styles and formatting. Voting Each player has one vote. No votes may be cast in absentia. Students absent for the vote will not have their votes counted. Ratification of the treaty requires a two thirds majority.

THE CONSTITUTION AND THE ANNEXATION OF TEXAS Earl M. Maltz* I. INTRODUCTION The annexation of Texas was by any standard a pivotal moment in the political history of the United States. The deci­ sion to add Texas to the Union was either directly or indirectly responsible for the acquisition of all of the territory of the United States south and west of the Louisiana Purchase. An­ nexation was also a critical issue in the presidential election of 1844 and the more general political struggle between Whigs and Democrats. Moreover, the dispute over Texas was a flashpoint in the evolving sectional conflict between the representatives of the free states and slave states.' The discussions of the issue in Congress had a dual aspect. Many of the arguments both for and against annexation were overtly phrased in terms of expediency. In addition, however, the debate over Texas had an important constitutional dimen­ sion, raising fundamental questions about the structure of the nation.

  • 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.

    UP JACOB'S LADDER: ANDREW JOHNSON'S RISE TO POWER, 1835-1857 RAYMOND BRINLEY WILLIAMS B.A., University of British Columbia, 1968 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FUI^IIMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Master of Arts in the Department of History We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA September, 1969 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and Study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thes,is for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of History The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada i ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to critically examine Andrew Johnson's early political career, from 1835 to 1857* Johnson remains today one of the most controversial figures in American history. His role as President during Reconstruction has initiated a century of debate over his character and behavior. In the process of this bitter controversy, few scholars have attempted to explain his personality and political behavior in terms of his early public life. This thesis will systematically investigate Johnson's career as a Tennessee representative and senator (1835-1&±3) > United States Congressman (18^3-1853)^ Governor of Tennessee (l853-l857)» ' Through an intensive analysis of Johnson's letters and speeches, as well as contemporary accounts and newspaper'sources, it will be established that throughout the period examined, Andrew Johnson behaved as a loyal Jacksonian Democrat and an ardent Southerner.

The last comprehensive list of Members of the Tennessee General Assembly was published in 1890, in the book Official and Political Manual of the State of Tennessee by Charles A. Miller. This Manual listed Members of the Tennessee General Assembly State Senators and Representatives from the Territorial General Assembly (August 5, 1794 – July 11, 1795) and the First General Assembly (March 28, 1796) thru Forty-seventh General Assembly which adjourned September 21, 1891 on pages 197 – 248. Listed is every Senator of the Tennessee General Assembly from the Territorial General Assembly (August 5, 1794 – July 11, 1795) to the One Hundredth –Sixth General Assembly which adjourned June 10, 2010. I have also found most members of the elusive Tenth General Assembly (1813 – 1815 because there was no printed or written Senate Journal found) in the book Messages of the Governors of Tennessee volume 1, 1796 – 1821 by Robert H. White. Listed at the beginning of each General Assembly is the number of that Assembly, the city where the Assembly was convened, dates convened for regular and special sessions, dates of adjournment of all sessions, the Speaker of the Senate, and the Chief Clerk if known.
