D. Cornell University 2010 This dissertation examines the role of Oberlin (the northern Ohio town and its organically connected college of the same name) in the antislavery struggle. It traces the antislavery origins and development of this Western “hot-bed of abolitionism,” and establishes Oberlin—the community, faculty, students, and alumni—as comprising the core of the antislavery movement in the West and one of the most influential and successful groups of abolitionists in antebellum America. Within two years of its founding, Oberlin’s founders had created a teachers’ college and adopted nearly the entire student body of Lane Seminary, who had been dismissed for their advocacy of immediate abolition. Oberlin became the first institute of higher learning to admit men and women of all races. America's most famous revivalist (Charles Grandison Finney) was among its new faculty as were a host of outspoken proponents of immediate emancipation and social reform.

This is because all dissertations are the result of not a single author, but instead a community of support. This dissertation is no different. For the past six and a half years, first at Indiana State University and then Purdue University, I have been honored and blessed to have numerous friends, colleagues, and family members support me in my endeavors to complete an advanced degree and begin a career in academics. I first came to Purdue interested in the general concept of how social movements, specifically those movements made up of the working class, interacted in the broader arena of the public sphere, how democratic norms shifted over time to either harm or help said movements, and lastly what a historical investigation of said questions could tell us about the broader concept of the public sphere.

  • Primary Source Document Collection MISSION 5: “Up from the Dust”
    TEACHER’S GUIDE Primary Source Document Collection MISSION 5: “Up from the Dust” Acreage of Harvested Crops in the Great Plains, 1879-1929 In 1936, President Roosevelt formed a committee of scientists, agricultural engineers, and government officials to assess the causes of–and possible remedies to–the drought conditions that were plaguing the Great Plains region. In the following section of their report, the committee uses evidence to show how excessive plowing and overgrazing had removed the grasses which naturally anchored the soil in place, thereby contributing to the Dust Bowl conditions in the 1930s. One primary source of disaster has been the destruction of millions of acres of this natural cover, an act which in such a series of dry years as that through which we are now passing left the loose soil exposed to the winds. This destruction has been caused partly by over grazing, partly by excessive plowing. It has been an accompaniment of settlement, intensified in operation and effect since the World War. In eight states lying partly within the region the area in harvested crops has increased as follows: 1879 12,200,000 acres 1899 53,500,000 acres 1909 71,6000,000 acres 1919 87,800,000 acres 1929 103,200,000 acres Source: Morris Cooke et al, Report of the Great Plains Drought Area Committee, (Hopkins Papers, Franklin D.

    1 The Falcon Cannot Hear The Second American Civil War: 1937-1944 By William Manchester Edited by Ephraim Ben Raphael Sources; The Glory and the Dream by William Manchester The Great Depression by David A. Shannon Hard Times by Studs Terkel And others Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. —William Butler Yeats 2 Prologue 1929 In September 1929 the United States of America was at the top its game. Europe, devastated by the First World War, was still climbing out of revolutionary turmoil of the late ‘Teens and early Twenties. National economies worldwide were wracked by uncertainty and instability, feeding simmering unrest. But in America business leaders spoke of the New Era, of the map to a New El Dorado that would allow for an ever-expanding economy, full employment, and the elimination of poverty. They scoffed at the communists in Russia with their state planned economy; America was proof that capitalism worked. The country had no enemies; Great Britain — the world’s only superpower — was a staunch ally and Lloyd’s of London offered 500-to-1 odds against any invasion of the United States. The general mood was one of optimism, complacency, and comfort. Yet within a decade America would be broken against itself, foreign troops would march down its boulevards and half-a-million Americans would die in the worst genocide to be witnessed by the New World since the annihilation of its native peoples.

  • THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA an Analysis of the Portrayal of Catholicism on Prime-Time Network Entertainment Television, 1
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA An Analysis of the Portrayal of Catholicism on Prime-Time Network Entertainment Television, 1950-1980 A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of History School of Arts & Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Christopher Gildemeister Washington, D.C. 2014 An Analysis of the Portrayal of Catholicism on Prime-Time Network Entertainment Television, 1950-1980 Christopher Gildemeister, Ph.D. Director: Leslie W. Tentler, Ph.D. Representations in popular culture entertainment both reflect popular thought about various subjects, and simultaneously influence perceptions of those same subjects. This dissertation proposes a twofold thesis: firstly, that the representation of the Catholic priest in American popular culture – particularly film and prime-time broadcast network entertainment television – was shaped by various real-life individual priests; and secondly, that such representations fell into a number of identifiable and frequently repeated tropes, which themselves served to influence later representations. With the rise of mass popular culture in the 1920s (largely originated by the increasing influence of film and the rapid and widespread adoption of radio broadcasting), the image of the Catholic priest in America shifted from that of the effeminate, licentious, and sexually depraved predator which was widespread during the nation’s era of domination by traditionally anti- Catholic Protestants to that of the “heroic priest”: a tough, dynamic, manly individual dedicated to social reform, particularly involving battles against entrenched civic corruption and crime. The major model for the “heroic priest” was the famed “radio priest,” Father Charles Coughlin, who in the early years of his fame was a far more populist and reform-minded individual than he was to become subsequently.

    8 023'.>2 Governor of Maryland 41" i #• >V'v r .ns'.-.f The Maryland State House, Built 1772 The Annapolis Convention of 1736, forerunner of the Convention oh at framed the American Constitution, met in the old Senate Chamber. Three years earlier, in this same room, Washington resigned his commission as Comoander-in-Chief of the Continental armies. Here also the Treaty of Peace with Great Britain was ratified in 1784. Maryland and Massachusetts are the only two states with Capitol buildings dating from before Revolution. The building pictured above is tine third on this site. The first, built in 1697, was destroyed by fire, and the second, built in 1704, was torn down ;o make room for the present structure. Description of the Qreat Seal of Maryland The Great Seal and Flag of Maryland are so intimately connected the one with the other that their history is inseparable. The flag of the State bears the escutcheon of the Great Seal—the Calvert and Crossland amis quartered. Maryland is unique in her Great Seal, and presents a marked contrast with those of the other States of the American Union, in that it consists of Armorial bearings of a strictly heraldic character, while the others bear “emblems indicative of agriculture and commerce, plenty and prosperity, or kindred sub- jects represented in a more or less pictorial or allegorical manner.” The first Great Seal brought over by Governor Leonard Calvert, in 1643, was “Treacherously and violently taken away by Richard Ingle, or his accomplices, in or about February A. D. 1644, and hath ever since been so disposed of it cannot be recovered.” In 1648, Baltimore sent to the province, through Governor William Stone, a second Great Seal cut in silver.
