ROA.En~ Robbrcr~~ RID~BWA1C ROA.en~ ROBBRcr~~ RID~BWA1C and ALLIED FAMILIES THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO MY BELOVED PARENTS, The Late DOUGLAS FAIR ROACH (1851-1917) and his wife MARY JANE HILL (1860-Living 1951) PREFACE •In attempting to compile a correct genealogy of these families, much time and effort has been expended and a careful study made of records in Virginia, North and South Carolina and Alabama. Much research has been done in the National Archives and D.A.R. Library of Washington, D.C., aside from a tremendous correspondence with authorities from Massachusetts to Texas. THE REAL PURPOSE OF THIS WORK is the PRESERVATION OF FAMILY RECORDS for our very young generation and those boys and girls who shall come after them. Lineage charts have been prepared of the Revolutionary Lines in order that the unskilled in genealogical research may readily discern the line from which they are descended. I should like to express my gratitude and appreciation to those who have given me much assistance in the compilation of this work. First, the late Major James Fair Hardin of Shreveport, Louisiana, has left to me much data on ROACH, ROBERTS, and FAIR families from which he had anticipated compiling a family genealogy; Mrs. Leonora Higginbotham Sweeny (Mrs. William M.) of New York City; Mrs. S. A. Fortson of Augusta, Georgia; Mrs. Edythe R. Whitley of Nashville, Tenn.; Mrs. Lucille Mathews Herndon of Ozark, Ala­ bama; Mrs. Katie Printz Esker of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Ida Cato Lankford of Emporia, Virginia; Miss Ann Chamberlain of William and Mary College, Williamsburg, Virginia; Mrs. B. W. Gandrud, Tuscaloosa, Alabama; Mrs. Elizabeth Mathison, Jackson, Mississippi; Mr. Paul J. Ridgway, Jr., of Toccoa, Georgia; Mr. George C. Ayde­ lott, RCA Bldg., Rockefeller Center, New York City; Mr. Wm. M. Spencer of Birmingham, Alabama, and Mr. George Leland Summer of Newberry, South Carolina. Thanks to numerous others who have given valued assistance. MARIELOU ROACH FAIR (MRS. PERCY CALDWELL FAIB) 530 Louisiana Street, Mansfield, La.

  • South Carolina's Partisan
    SOWING THE SEEDS OF DISUNION: SOUTH CAROLINA’S PARTISAN NEWSPAPERS AND THE NULLIFICATION CRISIS, 1828-1833 by ERIKA JEAN PRIBANIC-SMITH A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Communication and Information Sciences in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2010 Copyright Erika Jean Pribanic-Smith, 2010 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Ultimately the first state to secede on the eve of the Civil War, South Carolina erupted in controversy following the 1828 passage of an act increasing duties on foreign imports for the protection of domestic industry. Most could agree that the tariff was unconstitutional, unequal in that it benefited the industrial North more than the agrarian South, and oppressive to plantation states that had to rely on expensive northern goods or foreign imports made more costly by the duties. Factions formed, however, based on recommended means of redress. Partisan newspapers of that era became vocal supporters of one faction or the other. What became the Free Trade Party by the end of the Nullification Crisis began as a loosely-organized group that called for unqualified resistance to what they perceived as a gross usurpation of power by the federal government. The Union Party grew out of a segment of the population that was loyal to the government and alarmed by their opposition’s disunion rhetoric. Strong at the start due to tariff panic and bolstered by John C. Calhoun’s “South Carolina Exposition and Protest,” the Free Trade Party lost ground when the Unionists successfully turned their overzealous disunion language against them in the 1830 city and state elections.

Historians have explored various parts of this movement in a discrete fashion, but never has anyone attempted to examine the history of the effort to create a Union Party across the decade of the 1850s. What I find is that all incarnations of the Union Party stressed a common devotion to the rule of law, which they saw as under threat by sectional agitators who stirred up the passions of the public. Whether in debates over the right of the federal government to coerce a state, the legality of the Fugitive Slave Act, and presence of filibustering oversees, or the violence which attended partisan elections, Americans’ respect for the rule of law seemed at issue throughout that turbulent decade.

The story of such opposition is essential to a complete understanding of the Mexican War and the growing sectional conflict in the late antebellum period. It illustrates that much more opposition existed to the war in the South than is commonly thought. Nonetheless, southern war opponents failed to restrict the grand strategy of the Polk administration or shorten the length of the conflict. The main reason they failed in these goals stemmed from the inability of northern and southern opponents to work together to form and sustain a national antiwar movement. Southern war opponents firmly supported slavery and southern honor, and northern opponents did not, and this fissure doomed opposition in both sections. Almost all southerners committed themselves to defending slavery and southern honor – twin pillars which provided southerners with their very identities as free-American citizens – at all costs.
