  • African Americans Fight for the Union the Civil War Was a Turning Point In
    [Type text] African Americans Fight for the Union The Civil War was a turning point in black history for many reasons. After Lincoln’s issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation, free blacks saw their chance to fight for their country. By doing so, African Americans hoped to show their worthiness to be treated as equal citizens. However, African Americans were not exactly welcomed into the Union military with open arms. While slavery was banned in many Northern states, the border states that were fighting for the Union still allowed slavery. In addition, racist sentiments were strong in both the North and the South and many whites were not keen on training African American soldiers. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln authorized the recruitment of African Americans into the Union army and Camp William Penn was built as a training facility for black troops. Explore the significance of Camp William Penn as a turning point in African American history in the collections of the Historical Society.

  • In 1848 the Slave-Turned-Abolitionist Frederick Douglass Wrote In
    The Union LeagUe, BLack Leaders, and The recrUiTmenT of PhiLadeLPhia’s african american civiL War regimenTs Andrew T. Tremel n 1848 the slave-turned-abolitionist Frederick Douglass wrote in Ithe National Anti-Slavery Standard newspaper that Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, “more than any other [city] in our land, holds the destiny of our people.”1 Yet Douglass was also one of the biggest critics of the city’s treatment of its black citizens. He penned a censure in 1862: “There is not perhaps anywhere to be found a city in which prejudice against color is more rampant than Philadelphia.”2 There were a number of other critics. On March 4, 1863, the Christian Recorder, the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, commented after race riots in Detroit, “Even here, in the city of Philadelphia, in many places it is almost impossible for a respectable colored per- son to walk the streets without being assaulted.”3 To be sure, Philadelphia’s early residents showed some mod- erate sympathy with black citizens, especially through the Pennsylvania Abolition Society, but as the nineteenth century progressed, Philadelphia witnessed increased racial tension and a number of riots. In 1848 Douglass wrote in response to these pennsylvania history: a journal of mid-atlantic studies, vol. 80, no. 1, 2013.

    BOOK REVIEWS Philadelphia Georgian: The City House of Samuel Powel and Some of Its Eighteenth-Century Neighbors. By GEORGE B. TATUM. (Middletown, Conn.: Wesleyan University Press, 1976. xvii, 187 p. Illustrations, bibliography, index. #17.50 hard cover; #4.95 paperback.) George B. Taturn's Philadelphia Georgian is the type of comprehensive study every historic house deserves. Few American buildings are as well documented or as carefully researched as the fine brick house completed in 1766 for Charles Stedman and later owned and embellished by the "patriot mayor," Samuel Powel. Thus, the publication of this volume is a significant event. Mr. Tatum, H. Rodney Sharp Professor of Art History at the University of Delaware, places his description of the Powel House within a context of social and architectural history that underscores the importance of the building itself. While the study concentrates on the Powel House, background information is provided by a survey of Georgian architecture in America as expressed in Philadelphia and its environs. Superb photographs by Cortlandt van Dyke Hubbard illustrate the architectural heritage of the city and enable the reader to compare the Powel House with other remaining eighteenth-century buildings. Samuel Powel epitomized the colonial gentleman. Rich, well-educated, an outstanding citizen, he married Elizabeth Willing in 1769, and their house at 244 South Third Street formed the setting for the sophisticated life they led until his death in 1793. Mrs. Powel sold the house in 1798 to William Bingham; it passed through successive owners in the nineteenth century, but remained intact until 1917, when a paneled room was sold to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for installation in the American Wing.

  • Juneteenth Timeline Compiled and Edited by James Elton Johnson April, 2021
    Annotated Juneteenth Timeline compiled and edited by James Elton Johnson April, 2021 The Juneteenth holiday is a uniquely American commemoration that is rooted in the Civil War. With an emphasis on southern New Jersey, this timeline is constructed from a regional perspective of metropolitan Philadelphia. 1860 November 6 Abraham Lincoln elected president December 18 The Crittenden Compromise is proposed by Kentucky Senator John J. Crittenden. This proposed legislation would have extended the Missouri Compromise line (36o 30’ latitude north) to the Pacific Ocean. Both Republicans and Democrats opposed this plan. Republicans were concerned about the territories being open tto slavery and unfair competition for white workers. Democrats were against any restriction on slavery in the territories.

No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State. 2 But for the outbreak of war, ratification of the Corvin amendment by the states was quite likely.

  • The Acorn the Quarterly Newsletter of the Historical Society of Montgomery County, PA
    News, Notes & Kernels of Knowledge The Acorn The Quarterly Newsletter of the Historical Society of Montgomery County, PA Vol. LXXIII No. 2 - Spring 2019 Making Marathon: A History of Early Wyncote Presentation by Thomas Wieckowski Thursday, April 25, 2019, 7:00 pm Join us for our next presentation in our Making History Greater Series when Thomas Wieckowski presents Making Marathon: A History of Early Wyncote. Facetiously called “Marathon” by a famous author and resident, Wyncote arose in the second half of the nineteenth century as wealthy industrialists and capitalists made it the first Gilded Age suburb. This lecture follows the development of the land from William Penn’s green countryside, through Gilded Age resort, to the village for “the rest of us.” Nationally known bee-keepers, international bankers, entrepreneurial congressmen and dabblers in the novel sport of professional baseball made the community we know as Wyncote today. They flocked to the new village for the clean air, lush landscapes, and picturesque rolling countryside that promised “calm contentment and restful influences of country homes”. Thomas J. Wieckowski is Vice-President of the Old York Road Historical Society and a member of the Cheltenham Township Historical Commission. He received his B.S. at Villanova University and Ph.D. from The Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C. He is retired from Drexel University in Philadelphia after twenty- seven years where he was Associate Dean of the College of Business and Assistant Professor of Management Information Systems among other positions. He was also Director of the Masters Programs in Business for the LeBow College of Business.
