Implicitly or explicitly, this debate centres largely on one question – why has the South retained its distinct identity for cultural, social, political and economic exclusivity? This thesis examines southern distinctiveness with specific reference to America’s military involvement in Vietnam during the 1960s and 1970s, providing new insights upon an old question. Although a national effort, which encompassed the service over three million men, America’s 16 year involvement in their war against the communist-backed North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and Viet Minh/Vietcong (VC) forces was shaped by distinct southern influences attributed to the region’s history and culture. This thesis demonstrates that the southern influence over America’s political, economic and military theatres profoundly shaped the direction and administration of the Vietnam War. Southerners occupied crucial leadership roles throughout the Vietnam war era, including the presidency and Secretary of State, while both the Senate and the House of Representatives were led by men from South of the Mason-Dixon Line. 5 DECLARATION No portion of the work referred to in this thesis has been submitted in support of an application for another degree or qualification of this or any other institute of learning.

My greatest thanks are to my academic supervisors Dr David Brown, Dr Ana Carden-Coyne and Dr Natalie Zacek, who throughout my thesis have endeavoured to help, encourage, wheedle and be available to me. Thanks are also warranted to my fellow academic colleagues Dr Mark Crosher, Dr Patrick Doyle, Benjamin Knowles and Katie Myerscough, who all took the time to read and offer their own support on my thesis. The support of Andrew Tilsley is also appreciated as my thesis came together. Outside of the university, the help of academics, Professor Brian Ward — who initially supervised my thesis — Dr Patrick Hagopian, Dr Kendrick Oliver and George Lepre were crucial and appreciated in the early stages of my research. Special thanks are also due to the six American Vietnam Veterans: Ben Humphries, Eldson McGhee, Rick Owen, Rick Roll, Ben Sewell and Solomon Smith, all of who kindly offered to answer my questions on their war experiences. Finally I need to thank my partner Catherine for listening to and dispelling my academic woes and tantrums, my eldest brother William for subjecting himself to constant commentary on my thesis, and Warburton for his persistent canine company. *************** 7 Introduction – Good ol’ Simple Folk In 1973, the book Red Hills and Cotton: An Upcountry Memory, was granted its third reprint by the University of South Carolina Press. Its author, novelist and Associated Press journalist Benjamin Franklin Robertson, was described as ‘a loyal son of the South’ and an individual who ‘repeatedly lamented the region's many shortcomings, and [the South’s] tendency to blame all of its twentieth-century problems on the defeat of the Confederacy’.1 Unlike the canonical works of southern history, such as C. Vann Woodard’s The Burden of Southern History (1960), Robertson’s book is not generally renowned as a pivotal work on U.S. southern history. Notwithstanding, by 2008, it was a text considered by many white southerners as a ‘must read’ that had gone through a further two reprints. Notably, the 1973 third edition of Red Hills and Cotton was the book’s most successful issue by far, in terms of sales figures. It is not clear why this third reprint, acclaimed then, as a memoir that reiterates that ‘only the wars that are lost are never forgotten’, was so successful.2 However, this version of Robertson’s book coincided with a crucial and turbulent period in American history, as it became apparent that the United States was losing the war in South Vietnam, after fourteen years of conflict. For white southerners, the impact of this potential second defeat – with the American Civil War being their first – this period served to enhance the cultural myths established throughout the preceding century to encourage southerners to re-evaluate their regional and national identity. Coinciding with the reprinting of Robertson’s book, in August 1973, the United States confirmed that militarily they were no longer directly involved in hostilities against the North 1 1991 review of Benjamin Robertson, ‘Red Hills and Cotton: An Upcountry Memory’ (South Carolina, 1991), http://www.sc.edu/uscpress/books. 2 Review of 1973 edition of Red Hills and Cotton/www.kirkusreviews.com/ben-robertson-2/red-hills-and-cotton. 8 Vietnamese Army (NVA) and South Vietnamese Viet Minh forces.3 Up until this point, the Unites States could still assert that their nation remained undefeated in the theatre of war. The importance of such a claim cannot be underestimated in the martial history of any nation, especially that of the United States, which had established itself as the world’s superpower in contrast to the dubious — in the eyes of many westerners — Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.). Historian, Stephen Morillo contends that being undefeated in war often results in the victorious countries writing of their conquest in a familiar triumphalism often associated with the jingoistic notions of powerful regimes throughout history. Consequently, Morillo reiterates that ‘ground roots’ military history is not the most respected branch of historical enquiry in academic circles, ‘because there exists deep suspicion that to write about war is somehow to approve of it, even to glorify it – a suspicion not unfounded in the writing of military history’.4 Despite Morillo’s view on the historical recording of military conflicts, white southerners were particularly proud to reiterate and promote the efforts of their region’s men in previous wars, but particularly the controversial causes of their ancestors in the Civil War.

Introduction In March 1968, the men of Charlie Company entered the village of My Lai under the command of First Lieutenant William Calley with the objective to „search and destroy‟ the Viet Cong believed to reside there. The village was instead populated by unarmed South Vietnamese civilians, mostly women and children, who were then massacred by Charlie Company. The incident was kept under wraps by the military for a year until an investigative journalist, Seymour Hersh, uncovered the story in 1969. The revelation of the My Lai cover-up and the expanding press coverage was not the watershed moment or turning point in press coverage as one may be tempted to think.

  • Fraser, C, 2018.Pdf
    The PIT: A YA Response to Miltonic Ideas of the Fall in Romantic Literature Callum Fraser Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2018 Department of English Language, Literature and Linguistics Newcastle University i ii Abstract This project consists of a Young Adult novel — The PIT — and an accompanying critical component, titled Miltonic Ideas of the Fall in Romantic Literature. The novel follows the story of a teenage boy, Jack, a naturally talented artist struggling to understand his place in a dystopian future society that only values ‘productive’ work and regards art as worthless. Throughout the novel, we see Jack undergo a ‘coming of age’, where he moves from being an essentially passive character to one empowered with a sense of courage and a clearer sense of his own identity. Throughout this process we see him re-evaluate his understanding of friendship, love, and loyalty to authority. The critical component of the thesis explores the influence of John Milton’s epic poem, Paradise Lost, on a range of Romantic writers. Specifically, the critical work examines the way in which these Romantic writers use the Fall, and the notion of ‘falleness’ — as envisioned in Paradise Lost — as a model for writing about their roles as poets/writers in periods of political turmoil, such as the aftermath of the French Revolution, and the cultural transition between what we now regard as the Romantic and Victorian periods. The thesis’s ‘bridging chapter’ explores the connection between these two components. It discusses how the conflicted poet figures and divided narratives discussed in the critical component provide a model for my own novel’s exploration of adolescent growth within a society that seeks to restrict imaginative freedom.

William Calley (convicted and then released by President Nixon to serve house arrest for two years) The My Lai Massacre (Vietnamese: thảm sát Mỹ Lai [tʰɐ̃ːm ʂɐ̌ːt mǐˀ lɐːj], [mǐˀlɐːj] ( listen); /ˌmiːˈlaɪ/, /ˌmiːˈleɪ/, or /ˌmaɪˈlaɪ/)[2] was the Vietnam War mass murder of between 347 and 504 unarmed civilians in South Vietnam on March 16, 1968, by United States Army soldiers of "Charlie" Company of 1st Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, 11th Brigade of the Americal Division. Victims included women, men, children, and infants. Some of the women were gang-raped and their bodies were later found to be mutilated[3] and many women were allegedly raped prior to the killings.[] While 26 U.S. soldiers were initially charged with criminal offenses for their actions at Mỹ Lai, only Second Lieutenant William Calley, a platoon leader in Charlie Company, was convicted. Found guilty of killing 22 villagers, he was originally given a life sentence, but only served three and a half years under house arrest.

I argue that Wagner’s cycle of four operas, Der Ring des Nibelungen (1876), presents colloquial conceptions of time, space, and nature via supernatural, divine characters who often frame the world in terms of non-rational metaphysics. Primary among these minor roles is Erda, the personification of the primordial earth. Erda’s character prophesies the end of the world in Das Rheingold, a prophecy undone later in Siegfried by Erda’s primary interlocutor and chief of the gods, Wotan. I argue that Erda’s role changes in various stage productions of the Ring, and these changes bespeak a shifting attachment between humanity, the earth, and its imagined apocalyptic demise.

INTRODUCrION International legal scholarship has long suffered from too much normative theorizing and too little positive analysis about how the international legal system actually works. This inattention to the empirical and descriptive has alienated international legal scholars from their colleagues in political science departments and lent much of international law scholarship an utopian air. Whatever the historical source of this state of affairs, however, it is rapidly fading. A new generation of scholars, steeped in a variety of social scientific methodologies, has turned its sights on international law and is actively employing positive theories of state behavior to enhance legal analyses. These scholars have also begun to undertake empirical studies in an effort to provide support for their theoretical claims.
