  • States' Rights, Slavery and Secession Were Hotly Debated in the Years
    States’ rights, slavery and secession were hotly debated in the years leading up to the war, with Washington Territory lending its voice to the din. Just weeks after Fort Sumter, the first shots of the Civil War rang out in the territory. ese shots were not delivered by rifles or cannon, but by the slings and arrows of political rhetoric during the May 1861 primaries for Washington Territory’s Delegate to the US House of Representatives. e Republican Convention was in Olympia, while Vancouver hosted the Democratic Convention. In Vancouver, former Washington Territory governor Isaac I. Stevens and Clarke County’s Judge Columbia Lancaster vied for support. Both had already served as territorial delegates, and as Democrats, both were viewed with suspicion. Stevens was believed more sympathetic to secessionists because he supported President Buchanan’s pro-states’ rights appointees. Stevens won the primary, but lost the election to Colonel William H. Wallace, a Republican closely tied to Lincoln. In Washington Territory’s first Jud Ci Lnc tr’s 19t c ry h m Lnc tr Roa Ridfil , WA crc 1968. cc04859 skirmish, the Union prevailed. While no military battles were fought here, the repercussions of the Civil War shaped Clarke County’s political and social landscape for decades. e great sectional strife cast a long shadow across our nation, with no person or place left untouched. •November 6, 1860: Abraham Lincoln elected President of the United States •December 20, 1860: South Carolina secedes from the Union (rst of 11 states) •February 9, 1861: Confederate States of America formed with Jefferson Davis as president •March 4, 1861: Abraham Lincoln inaugurated as 16th (and rst Republican) president •April 12, 1861: Civil War begins with Confederate attack on Fort Sumter, South Carolina •January 31, 1865: US Congress approves Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery •April 4, 1865: Lee surrenders to Grant at Appomattox Court House, Virginia Spre by : Cn Vncvr Bacs.

City directories contain a wealth of information which is statistical, biographical and sociological, collected at a time that such data was not generally analyzed. With some imagination, a city directory can be considered a data base. The problem is that there is no way to access this information except by name. If you don’t know the name you are out of luck. What if you want to know who lived next door? What if you want to know who worked for a given company? What if you want some information about who else lived at the same address? Were there servants? Did the person share his residence with other people? If so who? This reference set allows access to all of this material, or at least what of it was collected in the original directory. In order to use it well, however, the researcher must understand how it was created. The alphabetical listing of the directory, (Volume I) is considered to be the original volume. The other volumes are considered as derivative volumes, a distinction which is important. In The 1893 Denver Directory1 all volumes are derivative volumes, derived from the data which had been manually entered into a database.
