INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

Harry Williams who originally suggested the topic and provided encouragement and direction as faculty advisor. Pro­ fessor John L. Loos offered a careful critique of the study and made many helpful suggestions. Professor Patrick P. O ’Connor of " the L. S.U. Department of Political Science rendered indispensible advice on the use of quantitative methods and the computer and Professor David G. Sansing of the University of Mississippi generously shared his knowledge of the Mississippi scalawags. A Louisiana State University Dissertation-Year Fellowship and grants from the Warrick Memorial Fund helped defray the expenses of several research trips. The greatest debt is owed to Patricia who patiently spent long hours at the calculator, keypunch, and typewriter and provided love and encouragement at every stage, and to Jerany who entered the world when the study was at midpoint and kept both of us in touch with reality.' ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGMENT............ ii LEST OF TABLES ................. iv LEST OF M A P S ................................ viii ABSTRACT.................................... ix Chapter I.

  • Fall 2016 Volume 33 Issue 4 a Life History of Lionel A
    Lorain County RESEARCHER Lorain Co. Chapter, OGS - PO Box 865 - Elyria, OH 44036-0865 Fall 2016 Volume 33 Issue 4 A Life History of Lionel A. Sheldon Submitted by Deb Mohler, longtime LCC-OGS Member It was a cold January night in 1862 when Col. James Garfield and 1100 troops of the 40th and 42nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry and two Kentucky units arrived, after an 18 mile march, at the mouth of Abbott’s Creek near Prestonsburg, KY. Garfield meant to force a fight with Marshall. Marshall had moved his Rebel Troops from Virginia into eastern Kentucky. President Lincoln meant to keep Kentucky in the Union. Marshall’s men were encamped about 3 miles upstream. Garfield sent an order back to 33-year-old Lt. – Col. Lionel Sheldon, who was left in command at Paintsville 14½ miles north, to bring up every available man with all possible dis- patch, for he intended to force a battle in the morning. At 4 a.m., Garfield’s troops started their march. Sunrise was several hours away. About daybreak, they were charge upon by Con- federate horsemen. Garfield gave the Confederates a volley that sent them up the valley, and so started the Battle of Middle Creek. By late afternoon, the Union forces were driven back, but with a brave charge, regained their ground. When the sun set, the battle was still unfinished. Garfield’s heart was full of alternating hopes and fears. It looked as if the day were lost, when, at a critical mo- ment, the starry banner was seen waving over an advancing host.

THE PASSAGE OP THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1875 7 II. GEORGIA'S REACTION TO THE PASSAGE OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1875 18 III. GEORGIA'S REACTION TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS CASES OF 1883 25 CONCLUSION 35 APPENDICES 37 BIBLIOGRAPHY 41 ii INTRODUCTION The era beginning with the end of the Civil War and lasting until 1883 marks a very distinctive period in the history of blacks in America. "It opened with the collapse of the slave system, and closed with a Su preme Court decision that killed federal legislation designed to confer upon a lately emancipated people the political, civil, and social status that only free whites had hitherto enjoyed." The problem of reconstruction began immediately after the first shot of the Civil War was fired. No one in the North, from the President 2 on down, had any doubt that the South would eventually be defeated. Abraham Lincoln had one of his first opportunities to test his ideas on reconstruction with New Orleans, which fell into the hands of the Union army early in the war. By 1863 Lincoln felt that the war had progressed far enough for him to issue a Proclamation of Amnesty for ex-Confederates who would pledge their allegiance to the federal government.

  • Chapter 17: Reconstruction and Its Aftermath, 1865-1896
    Reconstruction and Its Aftermath 1865–1896 Why It Matters We had survived our worst war, but the end of the Civil War left Americans to deal with a set of pressing issues. The status of some 3.5 million former enslaved people had yet to be decided. Nor had the terms by which the former Confederate states would rejoin the union been decided. How Americans would handle these issues would shape the future of our country. The Impact Today Debate over the rightful power of the federal government and the states continues to this day. Americans continue to wrestle with the problem of providing civil rights and equal opportunity to all citizens. The American Republic to 1877 Video The chapter 17 video, “Life After the War,” tells the story of Reconstruction through the eyes of writers and artists of the period. 1870 • Fifteenth Amendment ratified 1867 • First Reconstruction 1877 Act passed • Reconstruction ends Lincoln A.

  • Reforming and Depoliticizing the Federal Reserve Testimony Of
    Reforming and Depoliticizing the Federal Reserve Testimony of Charles W. Calomiris Before the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit and Subcommittee on Monetary Policy and Trade of the Committee on Financial Services September 12, 2017 The Federal Reserve is now more politicized than it has been at any time in its history, and consequently it is also less independent in its actions than at any time in its history, with the exception of the years 1936-1951 when it lacked effective monetary policy authority. The Fed’s leadership argues that the accumulation of a variety of discretionary powers enhances its effectiveness and independence, but history and logic tell a different story. As the Fed accumulates more and bigger political lightning rods of discretionary power – often through its own active lobbying for increased power, as during the aftermath of the 2007-2009 crisis – the Fed finds itself increasingly politicized, and less independent, both in the realm of monetary policy and in regulatory and supervisory actions. The Fed’s discretionary powers – which now encompass monetary, fiscal, regulatory, and supervisory matters on a grand scale – have been growing over the past decades and today are greater than ever. With that discretionary power inevitably comes attacks by special interests seeking to manipulate those powers. The Fed finds itself making political deals with special interests and their representatives largely as a result of its burgeoning discretion. Examples of how this has affected regulatory policy include the politicization of CRA enforcement and bank merger deals in the 1990s and 2000s, which also led the Fed to fail in its job as prudential regulator of risk prior to the crisis, and the disgraceful complicity of the Fed in “Operation Chokepoint” in recent years.
