  • The Extremest Condition of Humanity: Emancipation, Conflict
    THE EXTREMEST CONDITION OF HUMANITY: EMANCIPATION, CONFLICT AND PROGRESS IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA, 1865-1880 by STEVEN E. NASH (Under the Direction of John C. Inscoe) ABSTRACT Reconstruction in western North Carolina brings into great relief the disconnection between national policy and local reality that has become a driving force in American historians’ study of their nation’s reconstruction following the Civil War. This project is part of a growing trend that examines southern Reconstruction at the local level. It explores the transformation of western North Carolina’s political culture from a localized emphasis on community autonomy to a blending of local rule by elites mixed with external sources of power. It reveals the complexity beneath the surface of the overarching interpretation of Reconstruction as dominated by the struggle over black freedom. Race and the redefinition of African Americans’ place within the region, the state, and the nation were vital components of the mountain region’s Reconstruction, but due to the smaller black presence it was not the dominating issue. Western North Carolina’s similarities and differences with the plantation belt underscore the diversity and complexity of the postwar period throughout the South. Reconstruction in western Carolina forces scholars to recognize the broader issues of loyalty, industrial development and market integration, and reunification that played critical roles in restoring the United States after the war. At the heart of these issues was the exercise of power of the national state over local communities, white over black highlanders, and between different classes of white mountaineers. The political culture of the western counties changed because of the expansion of federal power in the form of tax collectors, soldiers, and conscription officials during the Civil War.

ANNAPOLIS Printed in U.S.A. 1748-1775 This monograph is a summary of intensive research into documentary and second­ ary source materials pertinent to the history of maritime trade and commerce in the port of Annapolis, Maryland, during the third quarter of the eighteenth century. The research project was a part of the general study of the historic port area of the city of Annapolis, sponsored by The Old Dominion Foundation through a grant made in I960 to Historic Annapolis Inc. Early in the study period, the staff of Historic Annapolis Inc. was made aware of the wealth of documentary source materials that exists in the collections of the Maryland Hall of Records. In spite of the existence of unusually complete and informative manuscript sources, relatively little was available in published form that could be called "definitive" in terms of maritime activity in the historic port. Annapolis was a colonial seaport of some repute. Generally, it was held that the city's importance as a seaport was largely based on trade in tobacco. But the details of the tobacco trade, the variety of import and export items that passed through the Port of Entry, the volume of shipping that Annapolis had enjoyed in the eighteenth century, and the routes and ports of call of vessels trading out of the port had never been correlated.

  • 2018–19 Commencement Program
    Commencement UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER FOLSOM STADIUM MAY 9, 2019 One Hundred Forty-Third Year of the University NORLIN CHARGE TO THE GRADUATES The first commencement at the University of Colorado was held for six graduates on June 8, 1882, in the chapel of Old Main. It was not until 40 years later, on September 4, 1922, that the first summer commencement was held. Since the first commencement in 1882, the University of Colorado Boulder has awarded more than 350,000 degrees. The traditional Norlin Charge to the graduates was first read by President George Norlin to the June 1935 graduating class. You are now certified to the world at large as alumni of the university. She is your kindly mother and you her cherished sons and daughters. This exercise denotes not your severance from her, but your union with her. Commencement does not mean, as many wrongly think, the breaking of ties and the beginning of life apart. Rather it marks your initiation in the fullest sense into the fellowship of the university, as bearers of her torch, as centers of her influence, as promoters of her spirit. The university is not the campus, not the buildings on campus, not the faculties, not the students of any one time—not one of these or all of them. The university consists of all who come into and go forth from her halls, who are touched by her influence, and who carry on her spirit. Wherever you go, the university goes with you. Wherever you are at work, there is the university at work.

Saxton Lehigh University evolutionary War veteran Thomas Corbitt was engaged in a fight For survival, except this struggle did not take place on a battle field; nor were those dependent on his services brother soldiers in the field. While years earlier he answered the call to arms in the fledgling nation's fight for its survival, the entire Corbitt family was struggling for their own economic survival after the guns fell silent. Heavily in debt, Thomas Corbitt, a veteran of the Pennsylvania Line, sought a federal pension to remain economi cally viable. After Thomas's death, his wife, Sarah, pursued a pen sion as well. Away from the fields of battle, thousands of revolutionary veterans similar to Thomas Corbitt battled against poverty in the postwar period.1 The ragged army's winter of discontent at Valley Forge is cher ished in the national lore of the American Revolution, celebrated for the patriots' perseverance in the face of despair.

  • Irish Rebel Prisoners and the British Army in the West Indies 1799-1804
    Joumal of the Society for Amzy Historical Research 80 (2002), 296-312 WHITE SLAVES: IRISH REBEL PRISONERS AND THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE WEST INDIES 1799-1804 MICHAEL DUREY Murdoch University I The significant role played by Irishmen in the military and naval campaigns of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars has not gone unnoticed. 1 As many as 150,000 may have been recruited by the Army in this era. Tapping the mainly Catholic manpower oflreland was a complex political issue in the 1790s, requiring among both government ministers and military staff confidence in the ordinary Irishman's ultimate allegiance to the Crown, which in the event was usually justi­ fied.2 Despite this Irish presence, however, recruiting sufficient numbers for the Army remained a persistent problem, not least because of low pay, poor service conditions and harsh discipline. Moreover, most line regiments could expect at one time or another to serve in the West Indies, where during the Revolutionary Wars virulent epidemic diseases turned the islands into charnel houses for unseasoned white troops.3 Between 1793 and 1801 more than 45,000 British soldiers died in the Caribbean, a mortality rate of about fifty per cent.4 The West Indian theatre was thus a heavy drain on a scarce resource and the government sought to alleviate the problem by resorting to three strategems: recruiting foreign auxiliary formations; 5 embodying regiments ofblacks;6 and filling up regular regiments in the West Indies with conditionally-pardoned criminals and deserters. Although recruiting convicted prisoners in small numbers from the gaols had a long pedigree by the 1790s, and is well documented/ the government's resort to this measure in the years after 1798 has not yet been fully explored.
