  • Music and the American Civil War
    “LIBERTY’S GREAT AUXILIARY”: MUSIC AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by CHRISTIAN MCWHIRTER A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2009 Copyright Christian McWhirter 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Music was almost omnipresent during the American Civil War. Soldiers, civilians, and slaves listened to and performed popular songs almost constantly. The heightened political and emotional climate of the war created a need for Americans to express themselves in a variety of ways, and music was one of the best. It did not require a high level of literacy and it could be performed in groups to ensure that the ideas embedded in each song immediately reached a large audience. Previous studies of Civil War music have focused on the music itself. Historians and musicologists have examined the types of songs published during the war and considered how they reflected the popular mood of northerners and southerners. This study utilizes the letters, diaries, memoirs, and newspapers of the 1860s to delve deeper and determine what roles music played in Civil War America. This study begins by examining the explosion of professional and amateur music that accompanied the onset of the Civil War. Of the songs produced by this explosion, the most popular and resonant were those that addressed the political causes of the war and were adopted as the rallying cries of northerners and southerners. All classes of Americans used songs in a variety of ways, and this study specifically examines the role of music on the home-front, in the armies, and among African Americans.

Red Masters & Their Black Slaves in a White Man’s War: The Five Civilized Tribes’ Relationship with the Confederacy in Light of Slavery Olivia DeWitt Research Methods December 08, 2016 DeWitt 1 Abstract This paper analyzes the alliance between the Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Choctaw slave-owning tribes and the Confederacy during the Civil War. These tribes offer a unique insight into the institution of slavery in one of its most peculiar forms. By studying the relationship between Indian masters and their slaves, the paper concludes that the main impetus for the alliance between the Indians and the Confederacy was slavery based on common culture, diplomatic dealings, and the actions of non-slave-owning tribes. While writing this paper, the researcher used a variety of letters between both Union and Confederate Indian agents, the personal correspondence of Indian chiefs, and records from intertribal meetings.

This area, in the northern portion of both states, is a patchwork of tiny woods and rolling, red clay hills, intermingled with small towns and hardcabble farms. Sparsely populated and mostly rural, the region, even today, provides glimpses of a vanishing way of life in the South. The text explores many facets of African American life, beginning with slavery, and continuing through to modern times. The writing emphasizes the recollections of residents through their own words, with a backdrop of supportive information about the region and events elsewhere that affected the South. Many historic photographs illustrate the text. The oral histories were collected by researchers as part of the Richard B. Russell Dam construction in the early 1980's. The volume was published by the Technical Assistance and Partnerships Division, Southeast Archeological Center, National Park Service, with funding supplied by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

  • The Enslaved Family, Selections from the WPA Narratiaves, 1936-1938
    National Humanities Center Resource Toolbox The Making of African American Identity: Vol. I, 1500-1865 THE ENSLAVED FAMILY *Selections from the WPA interviews of formerly enslaved African Americans, 1936-1938 Over 2300 former slaves were interviewed during the Great Depression of the 1930s by members of the Federal Writers' Project, a New Deal agency in the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Note: Selections from the narratives are presented as transcribed. Black interviewees often referred to themselves with terms that in some uses are considered offensive. Some white interviewers, despite project guidelines for transcribing the narratives, used stereotypical patterns of representing black speech. See “A Note on the Language of the Narratives” at lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/snhtml/snlang.html and “Guidelines for Interviewers” at nationalhumanitiescenter.org/pds/maai/wpanarrsuggestions.pdf. I was born March 23, 1850 in Kentucky, somewhere near Louisville. I am goin’ on 88 years right now (1937). I was brought to Missouri when I was six months old, along with my mama, who was a slave owned by a man named Shaw. We left my papa in Kentucky, ’cause he was allotted to another man. My papa never knew where my mama went, an’ my mama never knew where papa went. They never wanted mama to know, ’cause they knowed she “They never wanted mama would never marry so long she knew where he was. Our master wanted her to to know where papa was, marry again and raise more children to be slaves. They never wanted mama to an’ she never did.” know where papa was, an’ she never did.

  • Freedom and Identity in Post-Civil War Indian Territory and Oklahoma
    119 CHAPTER 7 “It is Our Freedom that Makes Us Different”1: Freedom and Identity in Post-Civil War Indian Territory and Oklahoma Leroy Myers University of Oklahoma INTRODUCTION Decades after the Civil War, an 89-nine-year-old Lucinda Davis recalled her life as a slave in Indian Territory during the tumultuous 1860s. She had a Creek Indian owner and lived in the Creek Territory, located in the eastern portion of present-day Oklahoma. Her parents, also owned by Creeks, had different masters.2 At the war’s end, and like many formerly enslaved people, Davis reunited with her parents. But unlike the majority of emancipated slaves, freedom for former Creek slaves like the Davis family meant full membership in the Creek Nation. Full membership provided exclusive rights to tribal land and participation in the nation’s political culture. For Lucinda Davis, full membership allowed her to marry, own property, build a home, raise children, and freely live within Creek tradition. However, while the Davis family experienced full Creek citizenship most African Americans like A.G. Belton suffered from racial violence in the Deep South. In 1891, Belton proclaimed that “times are hard and getting harder every year we as a people 1 Portions of this essay appear in Leroy Myers “Land of the Fair God: the Development of Black Towns in Oklahoma, 1870-1907” (MA Thesis, University of Oklahoma, 2016).

  • Country Cousins Volume 1 Descendants of William Davis (Welshpool, Montgomeryshire, Wales)
    COUNTRY COUSINS VOLUME 1 DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM DAVIS (WELSHPOOL, MONTGOMERYSHIRE, WALES) RELATIVES OF JERALD, LOWELL, AND BOYD DAVIS BY ERA JOSEPHINE MORGAN DAVIS (EDITED BY JERALD MORGAN DAVIS) 1 December 2013 Version 1.0 A MEMORIAL This volume of Country Cousins is dedicated, as all of the many subsequent volumes of the family history will be, as a memorial to Curron David Davis and Era Josephine Morgan (parents of Jerald Morgan Davis, Lowell Kenneth Davis, and Thomas Boyd Davis) for the excellent genes they passed on to their children, the superb values they instilled in us (sometimes forcefully if that was needed), and their dedication to assuring that we were well prepared to face the challenges of life with a constructive, positive, can do attitude that has permitted us to meet the challenges of life and enjoy life with confidence and a smile. These volumes are also a memorial to the lifelong passion of Era Josephine Morgan Davis to discover and preserve our family history and to help others do the same with theirs. We did not get to vote on any of these things before we were born but we are deeply indebted to our parents for who they were, what they stood for, and what they did for us with the limited resources they were dealt in life. It is with love and affection and with deep respect and admiration that we dedicate these volumes of our family history to them. Our parents and all of our extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and close cousins were experts at doing the very best they could with the cards that life dealt them while accepting the things they could not change, changing the things they could, and trying hard to understand the difference between them.
