  • Civil War to Civil Rights Commemoration
    National Park Service U.S Department of the Interior Washington Support Office: Cultural Resources, Partnerships and Science Interpretation, Education and Volunteers Civil War to Civil Rights Commemoration Summary Report DEDICATION This report honors all those who suffered and died in this nation’s struggles for freedom and equality. It is also dedicated to our colleague, Tim Sinclair, who was taken from us too soon. Timothy D. Sinclair, Sr. (1974-2016) Chief of Interpretation Selma to Montgomery NHT Tuskegee Airmen NHS and Tuskegee Institute NHS You took us on a walk from Selma to Montgomery. To keep your vision and memory alive, “We’re still marching!” Silent sentinels stood watch for 22 hours to commemorate the 22 hours of combat that took place at Spotsylvania’s Bloody Angle. FREDERICKSBURG AND SPOTSYLVANIA NMP Cover Graphic: Courtesy of Chris Barr FOREWORD The Civil War to Civil Rights Commemoration has been quite a journey. Thanks to all of you who helped make it a meaningful and memorable one for our country. We hope our efforts have helped Americans understand the connection between these two epic periods of time as a continuous march toward freedom and equality for all–a march that continues still today. Along the way, perhaps the National Park Service learned something about itself, as well. When we first began planning for this commemorative journey, there were several Civil War parks that had difficultly acknowledging slavery as the cause of the war. Both Civil War sites and civil rights sites questioned whether a combined “Civil War to Civil Rights” Commemoration would water down and weaken each.

  • The American Civil War and Military Technological Change
    THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR AND MILITARY TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE DOCTORAL THESIS University of Tasmania Department of Political Science cloie` cvotae? Marc Bowles February 1991 iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis was born from an interest in the area but was brought to fruition under the encouragement of many individuals. I am especially indebted to Professor Harry G Gelber who provide invaluable supervision, and suggestions, while all the time nurturing a flagging student. To Janette Kahl, Andrew Sharman, Calvin Sharman (no relation), Peter O'Toole, the staff of the Central Defence Department (Canberra) Library, and the University of Tasmania Morris Miller Library, go my thanks for your patience and assistance. Obviously, despite all the support received, responsibility for the selection of the materials and the treatment of the topic is entirely my own. For the record as well, this thesis contains no material which has been submitted for the award of any degree or diploma in any university or college and to the best of my knowledge and belief the thesis contains no copy or paraphrase of material previously written or published by another person unless I have made acknowledgement in the text of this work. Marcus Bowles ABSTRACT Military technology change is a subject of enormous diversity and profound complexity. To reduce the topic to some ordered form the thesis discusses military technological changes in one period; the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865. The thesis also contends that military technology cannot be studied in purely physical terms. Only in conjunction with environmental elements can we fully comprehend technical change. This will enable us to make sense of technology as both a technical entity constructed from existing scientific knowledge, and as a human activity interacting with the surrounding environment.

  • Naval Architecture Analysis of the Civil War Ironclad CSS Virginia
    Naval Architecture Analysis of the Civil War Ironclad CSS Virginia Nicholas Edward Marickovich Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in Ocean Engineering Alan J. Brown, Chair Stefano Brizzolara Sean M. Keary 5 December 2016 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Ironclad, Naval Architecture, Civil War Naval Architecture Analysis of the Civil War Ironclad CSS Virginia Nicholas Marickovich ABSTRACT This thesis presents the results of a naval architecture analysis of the Civil War Ironclad CSS Virginia, built by the Confederate States Navy to break the Union Blockade of Hampton Roads, and which engaged the USS Monitor on the second day of the Battle of Hampton Roads, March 9th, 1862. The purpose of the analysis was to examine the ship from a naval architectural standpoint pertaining to hydrostatics, stability, weight and CG, sea keeping, and basic resistance/powering requirements. The goal was to see if the story of the CSS Virginia, destroyed on May 11th, 1862 by its own crew to keep it from falling into Union hands, could have ended differently with an attack on Washington, a Northern city, or a run to a friendly Southern port, such as Savannah or Charleston. Paramarine software was used to build a geometry model based on lines included in a book by Sumner B. Besse for ship modelers. The geometry model provided the basic measures of displacement for the hull form at a draft of 21 ft forward and 22 ft aft which in turn allowed for a weight estimate to be undertaken.

The contact station was necessary because Fort Pulaski, located on an island in the Savannah River, was difficult to access during the early years of its development.
