Calhoun received a recess appointment to the office in October 1817. 6 This appears to have been a recess appointment that was never submitted to the Senate. McLane served from May 1833 until replaced by Forsyth. 7 This was a recess appointment that was never submitted to the Senate. Duane served from June 1833 until he was replaced by Taney--also a recess appointment--in September 1833. As indicated in the list, when Taney's nomination was eventually submitted to the Senate, it was rejected.

  • Women Postmasters

    Women Postmasters

    Women Postmasters Women served as Postmasters in the United States more than a century before they won the right to vote. Over the course of the 1800s, the number of women Postmasters increased from fewer than a dozen to more than 6,000. By the end of the twentieth century, more than half of all Postmasters were women. Although sometimes popularly called "postmistresses," their official title has always been "Postmaster." Women Postmasters in the Colonies Several women ran Post Offices under the British postal system in North America. In Salem, Massachusetts, the Post Office was reportedly kept by two women, Lydia Hill and Molly Gill.1 Hill reportedly served as Postmaster for many years before her death in 1768.2 Sarah Goddard was no stranger to postal business — her late husband, Giles Goddard, had been the Postmaster of New London, Connecticut. In 1764, Sarah joined her son William in Providence, Rhode Island, where he ran a newspaper and print shop and served as Postmaster. Shortly thereafter, William left Providence to pursue business ventures in New York and Philadelphia, leaving the Providence Post Office and print shop in the care of Sarah.3 In 1773, William Goddard moved to Baltimore, Maryland, where he started another newspaper and printing business. A few months later, he was joined by his sister Mary Katherine, “a skilled printer in her own right.”4 While William travelled, she ran the day-to-day business of the print shop, which by 1775 had become Baltimore’s Post Office, with Mary Katherine serving as Postmaster. First Women Postmasters in the United States Mary Katherine Goddard was the only known woman Postmaster when Benjamin Franklin was named the first American Postmaster General in July 1775, making her the first known woman Postmaster in the United Colonies, predecessor of the United States.

    Yale Men As Writers on Law and Government

    YALE LAW JOURNAL VOL. XI NOVEMBER, 19o No. i YALE MEN AS WRITERS ON LAW AND GOVERNMENT. An American bar was not really in existence before the Revolu- tion. Great causes in which the colonists were interested were oc- casionally argued at Westminster or before the King in Council, but they were generally in the hands of English barristers. One of the first American lawyers who ever argued before the latter tribunal* was William Samuel Johnson of Connecticut (Yale, Class of 1744), a silver-tongued orator, and one of the Committee on Style, which put the constitution of the United States in its final form, but who has left no published works to perpetuate his name.t His appear- ance was in the Mohegan case, involving important landed inter- ests in Connecticut, heard at London in 1767, and he had been made, the year before, a Doctor of Civil Law by the University of Oxford. There could be no legal literature in America until our law took a shape of its own, and came to be cultivated as a science. To this Independence opened the door. $ Removing the possibility of any appel from American to English tribunals, it gave the lawyers of that day a fair field to work out an orderly system of jurisprudence, *Beardsley, Life and Times of William Samuel Johnson, 47. tHis dispatches as Colonial Agent at London for Connecticut, to its gov- ernor, which are published in the Trumbull Papersby the Massachusetts His- torical Society, show great power of observation and judgment. tSee Two Centuries' Growth of American Law, 13, 17.

Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. —19th Amendment to the United States Constitution In 1920, after decades of tireless activism by countless determined suffragists, American women were finally guaranteed the right to vote. The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. It was ratified by the states on August 18, 1920 and certified as an amendment to the US Constitution on August 26, 1920. Developed in partnership with the National Park Service, this publication weaves together multiple stories about the quest for women’s suffrage across the country, including those who opposed it, the role of allies and other civil rights movements, who was left behind, and how the battle differed in communities across the United States. Explore the complex history and pivotal moments that led to ratification of the 19th Amendment as well as the places where that history happened and its continued impact today. 0-31857-0 Cover Barcode-Arial.pdf 1 2/17/20 1:58 PM $14.95 ISBN 978-1-68184-267-7 51495 9 781681 842677 The National Park Service is a bureau within the Department Front cover: League of Women Voters poster, 1920. of the Interior.
