The Fort Monroe NHL District documentation prepared in 1975 describes the boundaries of the historic district verbally as “…all that land on Point Comfort enclosed by its sea wall ”. The accompanying map defined the area with a paral- lelogram that encompassed the entire peninsula to where the sea wall ends near the northern limit of the fort, just below Dog Beach . It also included a portion of Phoebus and almost all of Mill Creek because of the regular polygon drawn to define the district . Phoebus and Mill Creek were not included in the text of the nomination’s written description of the fort . Currently, it is generally accepted that the boundary of the Fort Monroe NHL Quarters 1 District is roughly the shoreline of Old Point Comfort along Mill Creek to the north, Hampton Roads to the west and south, and the eastern edge of the district follows the sea wall along the Chesapeake Bay to the point where it ends and then the boundary crosses the peninsula to reconnect to Mill Creek .

  • The Irony of Emancipation in the Civil War South Clark Scott Nesbit
    The Irony of Emancipation in the Civil War South Clark Scott Nesbit, Jr. Richmond, Virginia B.A., Swarthmore College, 2001 M.A., University of Virginia, 2005 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Corcoran Department of History University of Virginia December, 2013 2 © Clark Scott Nesbit, Jr., 2013 3 ABSTRACT Nearly everyone in the Civil War South had opportunity to feel the irony of emancipation. This irony arose from the wartime difference between ending slavery as a regime and freeing slaves, as individuals. This dissertation explores the ways in which white southerners sacrificed, or refused to sacrifice, their interest in the enslavement of particular southern blacks for the sake of a regime that would safeguard slavery. It argues that African Americans at times sought their own freedom even if it meant aiding the Confederate regime, and at other times sought to avoid warzones even if it meant remaining legally enslaved. It argues that the Union’s war to defeat the Confederacy was also a war waged against the Confederates’ main source of labor. Such a war meant, for most who became free in the Civil War, emancipation through displacement and integration into a new system for managing former slaves, the refugee camp/plantation/recruitment complex. For those who remained in the wake of Sherman’s marches and other U.S. raids, it meant living in a land with little food. 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my dissertation committee, Ed Ayers, Gary Gallagher, Peter Onuf, and Maurie McInnis for their patience and thoughtful critiques.

He got it right. From its beginnings, our nation has been defined by its people and its places, and no place has had a more profound influence than the region anchored by the Chesapeake Bay. Rivers are its lifelines. They provide the freshwater that mixes with the ocean’s salt to create one of the world’s most productive aquatic systems, home to more than 3,600 species of plants, fish and animals. The rivers are transportation corridors that help power the region’s economy. And indeed, the great rivers of the Chesa- peake...are inextricably linked to great historical events and treasured landscapes. With a regional population approaching 17 million—and climbing fast—and with 90,000 acres of open space vanishing each year, protecting these landscapes while fostering ecosystem and cultural connectivity is vital to preserving the region’s history and ensuring its future .
