    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.

Foley he popular PBS program History Detectives recently began an investigation into the circumstances surrounding President Millard Fillmore’s decision to commute the death sentence of See See Sah Mah, a Sac Indian convicted of murdering trader Norris Colburn in 1847 on the Santa Fe Trail near Hickory Point, about ten miles south of present-day Lawrence, Kansas.1 The current owner of See See Sah Mah’s 1851 presidential pardon posed two questions to the television show’s host Tukufu Zuberi: who was See See Sah Mah, and why did the American president Tchoose to intervene in his case? But the import of Fillmore’s commutation order extends far beyond the responses to those initial queries. It is rooted in the larger story of Indian-white relations and the U.S. government’s attempts to subject native people to the dictates of an American legal system that differed markedly from the ways of customary Indian law. As early as the 1790s Congress had authorized the states to try Indians accused of committing crimes within their borders and assigned the federal government jurisdiction over Indian cases in the U.S. territories. Both state and federal authorities generally chose to leave the adjudica- tion of crimes involving only Indians in tribal hands, but in cases involving whites, American officials expected Indians to surrender the alleged culprits and comply with the rituals of U.S.

During the Civil War Era, northern conservatives helped push Abraham Lincoln into the White House in 1860, and then forced an end to Reconstruction in 1877. While many historians have examined their motivations, they often lump conservatives in the northeast states with those in the West. Due to the state’s population makeup, conservatives never lost their political punch in Indiana, making the state an ideal location to study western conservatives.

  • Southern Heretics: the Republican Party in the Border South During the Civil War Era
    Southern Heretics: The Republican Party in the Border South During the Civil War Era by James Allan Stuart MacKay A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History with Specialization in Political Economy Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2019, James Allan Stuart MacKay Abstract This dissertation examines the emergence and establishment of the Republican Party in the Border South slave states of Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri during the Civil War era. As regional and national tensions over slavery began to consume American political life, Frank Blair and other likeminded antislavery leaders attempted to build a Republican organization within the Border South. This dissertation argues that to become a viable political alternative, Republicans in the Border South developed a particular ideology of liberal political antislavery. This ideology promoted a message of white supremacy and free white labor, and reinforced a desire to see the economic progress of their states untrammeled by slavery. As a result, this ideology attracted enough antislavery men to form the only viable contingent of Republicans in the southern slave states. This dissertation also argues for the political importance of Border South Republicans during the Civil War era. Despite being small in number, they played an outsized role in the political and strategic direction of the Republican Party. Border South Republican leaders took an active role in party formation, and influenced major political decisions made during the war. Furthermore, Republican policy concerning black civil and political rights during Reconstruction were often made with Border South Republican concerns in mind.
