  • The Concrete Battleship: Fort Drum, El Fraile Island, Manila Bay by Francis J
    Redoubt Press presents The Concrete Battleship: Fort Drum, El Fraile Island, Manila Bay by Francis J. Allen Fort Drum on El Fraile Island in the Philippines is unique in the development of United States coastal fortifications. Fort Drum is part of a chain of forts built across the entrance of Manila Bay to defend the Bay from naval attack. The construction of Fort Drum began in 1909 by reducing tiny El Fraile Island to the low water mark. Over the next ten years a multi-deck concrete island was built to mount two twin 14-inch guns in superimposed Army designed armored turrets. The completed work rises 40 feet above sea level, it is 350 feet long and 144 across at its widest point. The exterior walls are up to 28 feet thick and the top deck attains a thickness of 20 feet of re-enforced concrete. The interior of the fort held a large engine room, powder and shell magazines, a mining casemate, storerooms and tankage, a accommodations for 300 personnel. The design of the fort followed a naval pattern with turrets, a cage mast, and secondary armament in side casemates. Due to these characteristics, Fort Drum became known as the "Concrete Battleship." When completed in 1918, Fort Drum was the most powerful defense work in Manila Bay, but the advances in military technology during World War I already began to make the fort obsolete. The post World War I reduction in military spending, the restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922, and economic depression of the 1930s resulted in Fort Drum being quickly reduced to caretaker status until the coming of World War II.

  • Fort Drum - During the Bataan - Corregidor Campaign, 8 December 1941 to 6 May 1942
    SUBJECT: Report on Operations and Material - Fort Drum - During the Bataan - Corregidor Campaign, 8 December 1941 to 6 May 1942. TO: Commanding General Army Ground Forces Washington, DC 1. Orientation. a. Geographical. The entrance to Manila Bay is guarded by 4 islands. (1) Corregidor - (Fort Mills) (2) Caballo - (Fort Hughes) (3) El Fraile - (Fort Drum) (4) Carabao - (Fort Frank) b. Tactical Command. The tactical command at the beginning of World War II was known as the Harbor Defenses of Manila and Subic Bays. This report deals with Manila Bay only. The defenses were divided into two parts, the ?? Command and the Seaward Defenses Command. Under the Seaward Defense Command were groups I, II, III and IV. (There were no groupments). The mission of the Seaward Defense Command was "to deny the enemy the use of Manila Bay and to protect the detachment of our Navy therefrom". 2. Fort Drum - Description and Organization. a. Fort Drum was constructed on the small island of El Fraile in the channel of Manila Bay in 1913, and was termed the "Concrete Battleship". The entire top of the original island was cut away to below the surface of the water. On this foundation, the reinforced concrete fort was constructed. When completed, it was 350 feet long by 144 feet wide and the main top deck extended 40 feet above mean low water. The general outline of the hull, as seen from above, resembled a ship with the pointed bow toward the China Sea. The exterior walls of the fort were approximately 20 feet thick, of reinforced concrete.

  • By Leroy T. Hopkins, Jr., Phd President, African American Historical Society of South Central Pennsylvania June 2020
    By Leroy T. Hopkins, Jr., PhD President, African American Historical Society of South Central Pennsylvania June 2020 1838: Pennsylvania State Constitution amended. Article III on voting rights read, in part: “ ith this action men of African descent in Pennsylvania were deprived of a right that many had regularly exercised. The response was W immediate. Some members of the Constitution’s Legislative Committee refused to set their signatures to the document on this exclusion, including State Representative Thaddeus Stevens of Gettysburg. Protest meetings were convened to petition the state legislature to remedy this wrong. Men from Lancaster County were involved in a number of those conventions, notably Stephen Smith and William Whipper, the wealthy Black entrepreneurs and clandestine workers on the Underground Railroad from the Susquehanna Riverfront community of Columbia. This publication commemorates some of the people of Lancaster County who endured generations of disenfranchisement, and who planned and participated in public demonstrations during the Spring of 1870 to celebrate the ratification of the 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Amendment states: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” Despite the amendment, by the late 1870s discriminatory practices were used to prevent Black people from exercising their right to vote, especially in the South. It wasn’t until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that legal barriers were outlawed if they denied African-Americans their right to vote. ©—African American Historical Society of South Central Pennsylvania—June 2020 1 n important protest meeting was the convention held in Harrisburg in 1848.

  • The Failure of Presidential Reconstruction
    5 The Failure of Presidential Reconstruction Andrew Johnson and Reconstruction At first glance, the man who succeeded Abraham Lincoln seemed remarkably similar to his martyred predecessor. Both knew poverty in early life, neither enjoyed much formal schooling, and in both deprivation sparked a powerful desire for fame· and worldly success. During the prewar decades, both achieved material comfort, Lin­ coln as an Illinois corporation lawyer, Andrew Johnson rising from tailor's apprentice to become a prosperous landowner. And for both, antebellum politics became a path to power and respect. In terms of sheer political experience, few men have seemed more qualified for the Presidency than Andrew Johnson. Beginning as a Greenville, Tennessee, alderman in 1829, he rose to the state legislature and then to Congress. He served two terms as governor, and in 1857 entered the Senate. Even more than Lincoln, Johnson gloried in the role of tribune of the common man. His speeches lauded "honest yeomen.. and thundered against the "slaveocracy.. - a "pampered, bloated, corrupted aristocracy ... The issues most closely identified with Johnson's prewar career were tax-supported public education, a reform enacted into law ·during his term as governor, and homestead legislation, which he promoted tirelessly in the Senate. Apart from the education law, however, Johnson's political career was remarkably devoid of substantive accomplishment. In part, this failure stemmed from traits that did much to destroy his Presidency. Ifin Lincoln poverty and the struggle for success somehow produced The Failure of Presidential Reconstruction 83 wit, political dexterity, and sensitivity to the views of others, Johnson's personality turned in upon itsel£ An accomplished public orator, privately Johnson was a self-absorbed, lonely man.

  • The Principal Actors in the Drama of Reconstruction Were President Abraham Lincoln, Radical Republicans Sen
    LINCOLN SUMNER STEVENS w JOHNSON w GRANT HAYES The principal actors in the drama of Reconstruction were President Abraham Lincoln, Radical Republicans Sen. Charles Sumner of Massa- chusetts and Rep. Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania, President Andrew Johnson, and President Rutherford B. Hayes, elected in 1876. Reconstruction The Reconstruction era after the Civil War has been called "the bloody battleground of American historians1'-so fierce have been the scholarly arguments over the missed opportunities fol- lowing black emancipation, the readmission of Southern states to the Union, and other critical developments of the 1865-1877 period. The successes and failures of Reconstruction retain a special relevance to the civil rights issues of the present day. Here, three noted historians offer their interpretations: Armstead L. Robinson reviews the politics of Reconstruction; James L. Roark analyzes the postwar Southern plantation econ- omy; and James M. McPherson compares the first and second Reconstructions. THE POLITICS OF RECONSTRUCTION by Armstead L. Robinson The first Reconstruction was one of the most critical and turbulent episodes in the American experience. Few periods in the nation's history have produced greater controversy or left a greater legacy of unresolved social issues to afflict future gener- ations. The postwar period-from General Robert E. Lee's surren- der at Appomattox in April 1865 through President Rutherford B. Hayes's inauguration in March 1877-was marked by bitter partisan politics. In essence, the recurring question was how the @ 1978 by Armstead L.
