The guides identify the focus standards by quarter. Teachers should understand that the focus standards emphasize deep instruction for that timeframe. However, because a certain quarter does not address specific standards, it should be understood that previously taught standards should be reinforced while working on the focus standards for any designated quarter. Some standards will recur across all quarters due to their importance and need to be addressed on an ongoing basis. The Standards are not intended to be a check-list of knowledge and skills but should be used as an integrated model of literacy instruction to meet end of year expectations. The Social Studies CCSS pacing guides contain the following elements: • Strand: Identify the type of standard • Standard Band: Identify the sub-category of a set of standards. • Benchmark: Identify the grade level of the intended standards • Grade Specific Standard: Each grade-specific standard (as these standards are collectively referred to) corresponds to the same-numbered CCR anchor standard. Put another way, each CCR anchor standard has an accompanying grade-specific standard translating the broader CCR statement into grade- appropriate end-of-year expectations.

    THE HOWLING DAWG Recapping the Events of AUGUST 2017

    THE HOWLING DAWG Recapping the events of AUGUST 2017 “Defiant, still” 16th Georgia Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Company G "The Jackson Rifles" THE WAR IN THE FAR WEST Re-enactment of The Battle of Picacho Pass (Arizona) Recently I heard someone mention The Battle of Picacho Pass (Arizona) as being the most western part of North America that War Between the States fighting occurred. I was surprised even though I knew Washington State furnished a Union Regiment as did Nebraska, Colorado, Dakota and the Oklahoma Territory. Often the Union cavalry forces that John S. Mosby fought against in Virginia hailed from California. I had always thought that The Battle of Glorieta Pass, fought from March 26– 28, 1862, in the northern New Mexico Territory was the far western reaches of hostility. I looked up The Battle of Picacho Pass and learned that the April 15, 1862 action occurred around Picacho Peak, 50 miles northwest of Tucson, Arizona. It was fought between a Union cavalry patrol from California and a party of Confederate pickets from Tucson. After a Confederate force of about 120 cavalrymen arrived at Tucson from Texas on February 28, 1862, they proclaimed Tucson the capital of the western district of the Confederate Arizona Territory, which comprised what is now southern Arizona and southern New Mexico. Mesilla, near Las Cruces, was declared the territorial capital and seat of the eastern district of the territory. The property of Tucson Unionists was confiscated and they were jailed or driven out of town. Confederates hoped a flood of sympathizers in southern California would join them and give the Confederacy an outlet on the Pacific Ocean, but this never happened.

Employing Critical Race Theory as the theoretical framework, each counties’ analysis results are examined. The concepts of race, systemic racism, White privilege and interest-convergence are used to assess both counties continuance of sustaining a racially imbalanced historical narrative. I posit that the construction of history of Bates County and Cass County continues to influence and reinforces systemic racism in the local narrative. Keywords: critical race theory, race, racism, social construction of reality, white privilege, normality, interest-convergence iii APPROVAL PAGE The faculty listed below, appointed by the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies, have examined a dissertation titled, “Whitewashing or Amnesia: A Study of the Construction of Race in Two Midwestern Counties,” presented by Debra Kay Taylor, candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy degree, and certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance.

    Bloody Bill”, “Little Archie” & All That

    Quantrill, “Bloody Bill”, “Little Archie” & All That Visit Sites Where Bushwhackers Rode 3 the Old Trails During the Civil War. Begin at Fayette. The Battle of Fayette occurred on Sept. 24, 1864, when a large force of guerrillas led by Fayette to Kearney. “Bloody Bill” Anderson and George Todd assaulted a fortified Union garrison. A wayside marker with information on the battle and a map is adjacent to the Student and Community Center on the campus of Central Methodist University in Fayette. Three days after the Battle of Fayette, Anderson’s men halted a train at Centralia (east of the Old Trails Region in Boone County) and, executed the 24 unarmed Union soldiers aboard. Later that day, the guerrillas annihilated a unit of mounted Union infantry and left 116 dead on the field. Take Hwy 5 and then Hwy 40 south from Fayette to Boonville. On Oct. 11, 1864, Anderson, Todd and Quantrill met Gen. Sterling Price and his army of invasion at Boonville. Anderson had human scalps from the Centralia Massacre hanging on his belt, which Price made him remove. Continue south on Hwy 40 through Boonville to I-70 and go west. At Exit 62, get off at Emma. The day before joining Price at Boonville, bushwhackers led by George Todd attacked members of the German community here, known to be Union Quantrill, supporters. Older men and four teenagers took up arms to defend their families. Most were shot, skulls were crushed, and some were burned alive. A recently erected monument near Holy Cross Lutheran Church “Bloody Bill”, commemorates the event.

    The Other Side of the Picture”: Social History, Popular Culture, and the Idea of the Sand Creek Massacre

    ABSTRACT Title of thesis: “THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE”: SOCIAL HISTORY, POPULAR CULTURE, AND THE IDEA OF THE SAND CREEK MASSACRE Kerry Tanner, Master of Arts, 2015 Thesis directed by: Associate Professor Richard Bell. Department of History. Competing schools of thought regarding American imperialism, American constructions of race, Native American experiences, and white settlers’ place within the American West can be seen in non-fiction and fictional accounts of the 1864 Sand Creek massacre in what is now eastern Colorado. Due to a range of factors including the emergence of social history methodology and Cold War politics, a shift in both American historiography and fictional representations of Native Americans and the West can be observed in certain scholarly works and Western films and novels during the period 1945-1970. Debates over the meaning of Sand Creek, often inspired by film representations, also reveal Coloradans’ and Americans’ attempts to reckon with shameful and embarrassing events of the past by contesting notions of race and imperialism presented by Western fiction. “The other side of the picture”: Social History, Popular Culture, and the Idea of the Sand Creek Massacre by Kerry Tanner Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts 2015 Advisory Committee: Professor Richard Bell, Chair Professor Saverio Giovacchini Professor Colleen Woods ©Copyright by Kerry Tanner 2015 Acknowledgements I could not have completed this work without the generous assistance and support of a number of people.

  • Civil War in the Lone Star State

    Civil War in the Lone Star State

    page 1 Dear Texas History Lover, Texas has a special place in history and in the minds of people throughout the world. It has a mystique that no other state and few foreign countries have ever equaled. Texas also has the distinction of being the only state in America that was an independent country for almost 10 years, free and separate, recognized as a sovereign gov- ernment by the United States, France and England. The pride and confidence of Texans started in those years, and the “Lone Star” emblem, a symbol of those feelings, was developed through the adventures and sacrifices of those that came before us. The Handbook of Texas Online is a digital project of the Texas State Historical Association. The online handbook offers a full-text searchable version of the complete text of the original two printed volumes (1952), the six-volume printed set (1996), and approximately 400 articles not included in the print editions due to space limitations. The Handbook of Texas Online officially launched on February 15, 1999, and currently includes nearly 27,000 en- tries that are free and accessible to everyone. The development of an encyclopedia, whether digital or print, is an inherently collaborative process. The Texas State Historical Association is deeply grateful to the contributors, Handbook of Texas Online staff, and Digital Projects staff whose dedication led to the launch of the Handbook of Civil War Texas in April 2011. As the sesquicentennial of the war draws to a close, the Texas State Historical Association is offering a special e- book to highlight the role of Texans in the Union and Confederate war efforts.

I had a working knowledge of the Civil War thanks to Ken Burn's The Civil War on PBS. As I saw Union and Confederate soldiers in the far removed west during the movie I looked at my father and stated that this wasn't true. He assured me that it was in fact true and that there had been a campaign fought in the New Mexican Territory during the Civil War. As he went on to describe the events I was instantly captivated.
