  • The People's Law: Popular Sovereignty and State Formation In
    The People‘s Law: Popular Sovereignty and State Formation in North Carolina, 1780- 1805 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gregory Scott King-Owen Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. John L. Brooke, Advisor Dr. Alan Gallay Dr. Margaret E. Newell Copyright By Gregory Scott King-Owen 2011 Abstract Between 1780 and 1805 North Carolina‘s government struggled to define the parameters of statehood through its policies. In the creation of the state, petitions from ordinary citizens played a central role in the debate over the people and their relationship to the government. Courted by emerging Federalists in the late 1780s, the people found themselves elevated to a central role in the political life of the state through their petitioning power. By the late 1790s, however, lawyers turned away from the people as a source of power through petitioning and tried to channel grievances through a court system whose rules would protect the purity of process over the substantive claims of petitioners. ii Dedication To Shawn Ἡ ἀγάπη οὐδέποτε ἐκπίπτει iii Acknowledgments The hard-working staff of the North Carolina Division of Archives and History retrieved the more than two hundred boxes of archival material upon which this dissertation depends for its life-blood. Their help and the work of the archivists in saving and organizing the mundane documents of North Carolina‘s early government after the Revolution deserves not only my thanks but the generous applause and support of every citizen of the state.

  • The Ohio-Michigan Boundary Dispute
    FEDERAL FAILURES: THE OHIO-MICHIGAN BOUNDARY DISPUTE Stephen W. Badenhop A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2008 Committee: Edmund J. Danziger Jr., Advisor Andrew M. Schocket © 2008 Stephen W. Badenhop All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Edmund J. Danziger Jr., Advisor The Ohio-Michigan boundary dispute, that reached a climactic point in the mid 1830s, was the product of congressional neglect and oversight. Congress through the establishment of the Northwest Ordinance, with its inflexible boundary lines, and the formation of the State of Ohio and the Michigan Territory, with an undefined boundary between the two, created a bitter jurisdictional boundary dispute between Ohio and Michigan. For over thirty years Congress failed to correct this terrible mistake while Ohio and Michigan continually pleaded for a resolution. The resulting “Toledo War,” where Ohio and Michigan sought to remedy the boundary problem themselves through force, was the fruits of this congressional disregard. Only presidential intervention prevented bloodshed and the continuing threat of armed conflict finally forced Congress to address the issue. This longstanding failure of Congress to intercede, mediate and resolve the controversy almost resulted in an interstate war; the results of which can be firmly placed in the hands of Congress. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Stephen Charter at the Center for Archival Collections at Bowling Green State University, Nan Card at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont and the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library for all their assistance and use of their valuable materials.

  • The Orphan Strip Community
    THE ORPHAN STRIP COMMUNITY: CRUCIBLE OF CULTURAL CHANGE Electronic Draft By Linda Hoxit Raxter © by Linda Hoxit Raxter, 2002, 2010 Individuals are allowed to print one copy for personal use only. Publically owned libraries may print copies for circulation and archives. No other copying or publication permitted electronic or otherwise. This electronic document is available at PastPathways.com Draft Edition???? When my daughter was a toddler and I was a stay at home Mom I became engaged in the genealogy and history of Transylvania County and surrounding areas, especially area cemeteries. Eventually this research led to a particular interest in the “Walton War” of local history. I soon realized this subject needed far more than the amateur research myself and others had completed. So it was back to school for a Master of Arts degree in American History with concentrations in Cherokee Studies and Local History. What follows is an updated version of my Master’s Thesis. From the beginning the plan was to publish this work so it would be available to the many family members descended from what has become known as the Orphan Strip Community. However graduation was followed by the reality of needing a pay check. What followed was a series of full time and part time work including 4 ½ years as an Adjunct Instructor teaching United States history that I would not trade for anything. But I have had to cut back my activities due to medical reasons. Overall, the overwhelming time and energy it takes to prepare a manuscript for publication simply has not been there.

There are seventeen lettered districts and within each district the markers are numbered. Occasionally a marker is retired from the system, creating a skip in numbers within a district. For about thirty years the retired letter-number combinations were reassigned as new markers were approved, but that is no longer the practice. Several skips in the numbering remain. About the Program ... In 1935 the North Carolina General Assembly authorized the establishment of the North Carolina Highway Historical Marker Program (Public Laws, Chapter 197). From that time forward, the program has been administered as a cooperative venture among state agencies.
