BETWEEN TWO FIRES: THE ORIGINS OF SETTLER COLONIALISM IN THE UNITED STATES AND FRENCH ALGERIA By Ashley Sanders A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History – Doctor of Philosophy 2015 ! ABSTRACT' ! BETWEEN TWO FIRES: THE ORIGINS OF SETTLER COLONIALISM IN THE UNITED STATES AND FRENCH ALGERIA By Ashley Sanders This dissertation is a comparative study of the establishment of settler colonies in the American Midwest (1778-1795) and French colonial Algeria (1830-1848). It examines how interactions between the Indigenous populations, colonists, colonial administrators, the military, and the métropole shaped their development and advances the theory of settler colonialism. This study centers on the first fifteen to twenty years of conquest/occupation in the American Midwest, focusing specifically on southern Illinois and Indiana, and the province of Constantine, Algeria. Despite differences in geography, relative size of the military presence and Indigenous demographics, the process of establishing settler colonies in both locations followed similar trajectories. The study analyzes the founding moment of initial military occupation in Indiana/Illinois in 1778 and Constantine in 1836-1837 as well as subsequent land policies, settlement, and Indigenous resistance movements. I argue that settler colonies in the American Midwest and Algeria resulted from a bottom- up process in which settler desires for land and greater economic opportunities compelled them to migrate (or emigrate) and stake their claim to these territories. This movement then served as a catalyst for initially makeshift colonial policies that only became systematized over time. The relationship between settlers and the Indigenous populations in both locations, as well as administrators’ responses to prevailing circumstances on the ground shaped the establishment of stable settler governments. ! This research broadens our conceptions of American history and deepens our understanding of the processes by which settler colonies formed and “worked.” Settler colonialism’s legacy continues to influence geopolitics, national policy decisions, and people’s daily lives. Hence, the formation and eventual structures of settler colonies help researchers explain the founding of many contemporary societies and, taken together, recast empire, settler roles, and Indigenous actions within colonial contexts. ! Copyright by ASHLEY SANDERS 2015 ! ! ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The research and writing of history is often solitary task, but it is impossible without the aid, funding, and support of many people and institutions. To begin with, I am indebted to the History Department at Michigan State University for funding my coursework, language study, research, and writing. A generous U. S. Department of Education Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowship also enabled me to study Arabic at the Summer Cooperative African Language Institute (SCALI) and through the African Studies Center at Michigan State University. MATRIX, the Center for Digital Humanities and Social Sciences at Michigan State University, also granted me a Cultural Heritage Informatics Fellowship to work on a digital component of my dissertation. Together with an assistantship through H-Net, I learned invaluable Digital Humanities skills that have served me well in research, writing, and my career beyond graduate school. I am grateful to the Claremont Colleges Library, where I am putting those digital skills to work, and to Dr. Kevin Mulroy, along with Allegra Swift, for the work- release time to complete my final two chapters and revisions. I have also benefitted greatly from the opportunity to participate in the 2011 Newberry Consortium in American Indian Studies (NCAIS) Graduate Institute, which allowed me to engage in stimulating scholarly conversations, broaden my perspective, and begin pre- dissertation research. A Committee on Institutional Cooperation – American Indian Studies (CIC-AIS) fellowship the following fall allowed me to continue my research as a Visiting Fellow at the D’Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian Studies at the Newberry Library. As I reflect on my time there, I have to thank Dr. Susan Sleeper-Smith for her early guidance as I shaped my dissertation topic, as well as Dr. Scott Manning Stevens for his hospitality and v! ! ! willingness to talk through challenging research quandaries. An additional fellowship from NCAIS enabled me to complete essential research at the Ohio Valley-Great Lakes Ethnohistory Archive in Bloomington, Indiana. Dr. Bill Monaghan, Dr. April Sievert, Wayne Huxtable, and the staff at the Glenn Black Laboratory were incredibly helpful and provided me access to the archive even when it was sparsely staffed due to winter and summer absences. I am also indebted to Jill Larson for her generosity with her time and resources at the University of Vincennes’ Lewis Historical Library. Additionally, this project would have been incomplete without the treasure trove of sources in the French colonial archives at the Centre des Archives d’Outre-Mer in Aix-en-Provence, the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, and Chateau de Vincennes. What is more, this dissertation would not have been possible without the guidance and support of my advisor, Dr. Peter Knupfer. His faith in my ability to complete this ambitious project, patience during my moments of panic, thoughtful critiques of many drafts, and good humor carried me through the difficult challenges that life, research, and writing posed. I would also like to thank my committee members, Dr. Leslie Page Moch, Dr. Emine Evered, Dr. Mindy Morgan, and Dr. Mara Leichtman for their careful reading of the dissertation and suggestions to improve the manuscript for publication. The trials of graduate school would have been insurmountable without my colleagues and friends. Thank you, Dr. Laura Cuppone, the other half of the “Dissertation Dynamic Duo,” for your friendship, willingness to comment on rough drafts, and model of perseverance that kept me going when I was not sure I could. Tazin Karim Daniels, you have been more than a writing accountability partner. You have been a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on, a cheerleader when I was down, a motivational coach, and always a dear friend. The muse only shows up when we do, right? Alison Kolodzy, I am so grateful for our time together in Michigan and Paris, for your vi! ! ! friendship, and for orienting me to the massive Bibliothèque Nationale. Cindy Nguyen, your friendship, spanning two continents and many states, is one of the greatest gifts of this journey. And Linda, thank you for helping me to find ways over and through the barriers that stood in the way of completion. I am ever grateful for my parents, Stewart and Cynthia Sanders. Mom and Dad, thank you for reading my writing from my first letters to the moment I added the letters Ph.D. to my name. My brother, Gabe, has always been ready to answer a phone call, even in the middle of the night, with encouraging words. Thank you for always having my back! And “thank you” does not begin to cover my gratitude to my patient partner, Marcel Garcia, who has given me the best reason to learn to end long work sessions at a reasonable hour and to look forward to life beyond the dissertation. Thank you for reminding me that “it’s all a process” and for your assurance that I would make it through that process. I am so grateful for the love, joy, and sunshine you have brought into my life. vii! ! !

KRISHAN KUMAR University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA It is a mistaken notion that planting of colonies and extending of Empire are necessarily one and the same thing. ———Major John Cartwright, Ten Letters to the Public Advertiser, 20 March–14 April 1774 (in Koebner 1961: 200). There are two ways to conquer a country; the first is to subordinate the inhabitants and govern them directly or indirectly.… The second is to replace the former inhabitants with the conquering race. ———Alexis de Tocqueville (2001[1841]: 61). One can instinctively think of neo-colonialism but there is no such thing as neo-settler colonialism. ———Lorenzo Veracini (2010: 100). WHAT’ S IN A NAME? It is rare in popular usage to distinguish between imperialism and colonialism. They are treated for most intents and purposes as synonyms. The same is true of many scholarly accounts, which move freely between imperialism and colonialism without apparently feeling any discomfort or need to explain themselves. So, for instance, Dane Kennedy defines colonialism as “the imposition by foreign power of direct rule over another people” (2016: 1), which for most people would do very well as a definition of empire, or imperialism. Moreover, he comments that “decolonization did not necessarily Acknowledgments: This paper is a much-revised version of a presentation given many years ago at a seminar on empires organized by Patricia Crone, at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton.

  • The Fan Affair and the Conquest of Algeria1
    The Fan Affair and the conquest of Algeria1 Michael Dudzik2 ABSTRACT The study analyses the domestic political background of the conflict that resulted in the French conquest of Algeria. The author begins at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries when the Paris gov- ernment bought grain from Algerian merchants. Subsequent economic cooperation, including the provision and collection of loans, negatively affected mutual relations. Deteriorating relations were negatively affected by the appointment of Hussein Pasha as governor of Algeria in 1818, and they further worsened after a diplomatic insult against the French ambassador in April 1827. The article analyses developments in both countries, the gradual escalation of conflicts and their response in the European powers and presents the reasons that prompted the French government to intervene. KEYWORDS France, the conquest of Algeria, Charles X, Jules Prince de Polignac, 1830 INTRODUCTION The tense political and social climate in France at the end of the second decade of the 19th century reflected the citizens’ dissatisfaction with the regime of the re- turned Bourbons. King Charles X (1757–1836) promoted absolutism and restrictions on the press and relied primarily on the Catholic Church and the pre-revolution- ary nobility. Together with the Prime Minister, Prince Jules Auguste Marie de Poli- gnac (1780–1847), he tried to divert public attention from the negative response of extremely conservative domestic policy measures to foreign policy, and use the age- old dispute with Algeria, a vassal of the Ottoman Empire, to achieve easy victory and thus raise the prestige of the army and the regime. The study analyses Franco-Algerian economic and political relations after 1818 when Hussein Pasha became Algerian governor.

  • Jeremiah & Mary Whitaker West
    Jeremiah & Mary Whitaker West Submitted by Dorothy R. Hyde Editor's Foreword Dorothy R. Hyde, of Asheville writes "I was inspired after reading the May, 2007 issue of A Lot of Bunkum to write the role of the Jeremiah West family in the Civil War." Mrs. Hyde is a great-great­ granddaughter of Jeremiah and Mary West. The editor, after reviewing the records, notes that Mary Whitaker, wife of Jeremiah West, contributed ten or eleven family members to the Confederate side of the Civil War. She lost three or four sons, or sons-in-law, and a grandson to the cause. The West Family and the Confederacy Another family that should be recognized for its contribution to the cause of the Confederacy is that of Jeremiah and Mary Whitaker West. Their oldest son, John West, was born in 1817 and served with Company K, 11th NC Regiment. He resided in Buncombe Co., where he enlisted at age 44 on March 1, 1862. He was mustered in as sergeant and promoted to I st Sergeant on April 11, 1864, present or accounted for until wounded at Spotsylvania Court House, VA on May 11, 1864. He died on wounds on May 11, 1864. His son, John Preston West, 18, was also mustered in as Private, 51 promoted to Corporal on March 1 , 1862, and was with his father at the time of his death.

There are those who argue that historical inquiry offers nothing to our understanding of the Second Amendment. This postmodernist position is well represented by Charlton Heston, who has dismissed historical scholarship as not in the least bit relevant and called for historians to stop wasting their time in the archives.1 Akhil Amar recently stated that current understandings of the original meaning of the Second Amendment "might be false as a matter of historical fact but [are] nonetheless true as a matter of constitutional law."' 2 William Van Alstyne insists that historical research into the context of the Second Amendment "doesn't seem to me to make a very great deal of difference against the background of Bunker Hill, and the minutemen, and the imagery that this is the nature of things."3 Postmodernism denies the value and even the validity of historical context, emphasizing instead language and image; truth itself is a rhetorical social construct, it is the critic's representation of the past that matters.

  • Nostalgias in Modern Tunisia Dissertation
    Images of the Past: Nostalgias in Modern Tunisia Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David M. Bond, M.A. Graduate Program in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Sabra J. Webber, Advisor Johanna Sellman Philip Armstrong Copyrighted by David Bond 2017 Abstract The construction of stories about identity, origins, history and community is central in the process of national identity formation: to mould a national identity – a sense of unity with others belonging to the same nation – it is necessary to have an understanding of oneself as located in a temporally extended narrative which can be remembered and recalled. Amid the “memory boom” of recent decades, “memory” is used to cover a variety of social practices, sometimes at the expense of the nuance and texture of history and politics. The result can be an elision of the ways in which memories are constructed through acts of manipulation and the play of power. This dissertation examines practices and practitioners of nostalgia in a particular context, that of Tunisia and the Mediterranean region during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Using a variety of historical and ethnographical sources I show how multifaceted nostalgia was a feature of the colonial situation in Tunisia notably in the period after the First World War. In the postcolonial period I explore continuities with the colonial period and the uses of nostalgia as a means of contestation when other possibilities are limited.
