Trafzer Dr. Jennifer S. Hughes Copyright by Michael Leonard Cox 2016 The Dissertation of Michael Leonard Cox is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Osiyo! The title of a Beach Boys song, I think, captures the essence of writing a dissertation: “You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone.” Nothing could be truer in my experience. The list of those who have lent their hands to me along the way is too long to adequately capture in such a short space, but I shall do my best. Academically, I owe a debt to both the institution where this project began, the University of Oklahoma, and where it ended, the University of California, Riverside. Both universities provided an atmosphere of learning and collegiality that I cannot credit enough for my intellectual and personal development. The History Department at OU provided me with a teaching assistantship, while the History Department, College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (CHASS), and UCR writ large provided significant funds to support my enrollment, research, and writing efforts during my time there. Additionally, funds from the American Philosophical Society Phillips Fund, the Newberry Library, the Lilly Library at Indiana University, and the Clements Library at the University of Michigan further supported research trips throughout the Midwest. I also had the privilege to attend an NEH Summer Institute hosted by the Newberry Library which exposed me to a wonderful group of fellow scholars. Special thanks to Scott Stevens for organizing and hosting us. I wish to thank Chief Leaford Bearskin for sitting down one morning to chat with me in Wyandotte, Oklahoma several years ago. While the conversation wasn’t really about my dissertation, it opened my eyes significantly. Thanks also to all of those I have met through the years at conferences as panel colleagues, panel chairs, and discussants. I have taken your words and influences to iv heart. Thanks especially to Katie Magee Labelle and Tom Peace. I also wish to thank all of my colleagues in the Department of History & Government at Cameron University, where I spent the past two years as a faculty member while laboring (slowly!) to complete this project. On an individual level, I am indebted to a number of faculty members at both OU and UCR for classes I took with them, advice given along the way, and exposure to a variety of teaching styles and emphases while serving as a teaching assistant. At OU, I particularly wish to thank those who served on my Master’s thesis committee, Albert Hurtado, Paul Gilje, and my advisor, Joshua Piker. Josh, in particular, helped to foster the origins of what became this dissertation. His work in the realm of microhistory, as one can see, was quite influential on this dissertation. At UCR, I first wish to thank Catherine Allgor, Lynda Bell, Randy Head, and Robert Patch, all of whom I took classes from, and all of whom I worked for as well. I especially wish to thank the readers of this dissertation, Jennifer Hughes and Clifford Trafzer, who have both been great influences on my ways of thinking and great supporters of mine along the long and winding road that is this dissertation. Most of all, I want to thank Monte Kugel for being the best of advisors, and for giving her all to her advisees like me. I could not have hoped to do this without you, and I hope you are proud! Along with the ties that bind me to those I studied under, the bonds I developed with those I studied with demand acknowledgement. Simply listing people does not seem to be enough, but I cannot think of a better way. If I leave anyone out, please forgive me. At OU, I had the privilege to enter a program with a large cadre of budding scholars who v all influenced my development at a critical stage in my academic life. I wish to especially thank Willy Bauer, Jeff Means, David Loving, Theresa Moore, Linda English, Sarah Eppler Janda, Dan Cobb, Carolyn Cuskey, George Milne, and Charlie Vaught for enriching my intellectual and personal life while I was in Norman. At UCR, I want to thank Ian Chambers, Jon Ille, Liz Von Essen, Owen Jones, Tim Russell, K.D. Motes, Vanessa Wilkie, Kelly Dormady, Kathleen McGuire, Isaac Stephens, Dave Buhl, Kevin Whalen, Tony Yang, Matt Growhoski, and the late Michael Drake for their friendship and camaraderie. I save particular adoration for my core of friends from Kensington House (and affiliate members like me): Sue Hall Nguyen, Emily McEwen, Vanessa Stout, Jamie Green, Sarah McCormick Seekatz, Becky Wrenn, Jason Sampson, Robert Miller, Sean Slusser, Andrew Garrison, and Laura Bellew Hannon. I can never say how special you all are to me, so I won’t try. While we don’t get to pick our families, I was lucky enough to get a good one. I wish to thank my very large extended family for all the love, support, and joy you have brought to my life. There are too many of you to name, but you know who you are! A special word of thanks to my grandmother Thelma Stiles, who has influenced me in ways I can’t even begin to fathom. Everyone should have a grandma like you. I also wish to thank my wife’s family, which has supported me in so many ways the past twenty years: Dave and Michele Roush; Jennifer, Ben, Braeleigh, and Brandt Blosser; Julia Roush; and especially Katie Roush. I would like to thank my father, who showed me what hard work is by his own example, and also prompted me to finish this dissertation with persistent prodding about when it would be done. Thanks dad. Some might say it’s tough to be a vi male in an all-female household, but I was fortunate to have two tremendous sisters to grow up with, both of whom helped to make me who I am. I love you Christie and Jennifer. Thanks also to their families: my brother-in-laws Todd Ely and Kyle Dunkle, my nephews Jake and Ryan, and my new niece Kyra. Thanks also to Tom Lewis. A final addition to this list of family is my dog, Josie. I must admit that I used to think it was a bit silly when people thanked their pets, but here I am doing it! My final thanks go to the two people who have had the most profound influence on my life, and who are the entire reason I made it to the finish (or even the start) on this project. I dedicate this dissertation to them. To my late mother, Linda, I can only say that whatever is fundamentally good about me at the core is because of her. She gave me life, love, and instilled a passion for learning in me early on. She was the force who drove me to aspire to things that would have seemed impossible otherwise. She didn’t live to see this project, but her influence is profound on it nonetheless. Last but most, I want to thank my wife Audrey. We have now been together for over twenty years, and I cannot remember life without you. What can I say other than that you have been my rock, my soul, and my heart. You have believed in me when I didn’t even believe in myself. You have moved and struggled repeatedly with me so that I could complete this dream, and you have been my constant companion down every road we have travelled, including the addition of our new son Michael Pennington. I wouldn’t want it any other way. Never my love. PS: Any factual errors or expressions of opinions are solely my own. vii DEDICATION To the memory of my mother For Audrey viii ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Ohio Wyandots: Religion and Society on the Sandusky River, 1795-1843 by Michael Leonard Cox Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in History University of California, Riverside, March 2016 Dr. Rebecca Kugel, Chairperson The preponderance of Native American histories of the Old Northwest traditionally have examined macro-regional trends, particularly those related to warfare, trade, and the attrition of indigenous sovereignty in the face of European/American expansion. A number of recent studies have begun to dig deeper into the details of indigenous life in the region, but usually in the context of Indian Removal. This study attempts to shift the focus to a microhistorical examination of a single indigenous community, the Wyandot people in the Sandusky River region in modern northwest Ohio. I argue that training the analytical lens on the Wyandots reveals a much more complicated history than most existing studies have considered, especially after the War of 1812 (when most studies tend to end with the collapse of effective military resistance to American expansion). This study reveals a community in the midst of tremendous cultural changes, especially in regards to questions of religious adherence/identity, economic change, social structural changes, and perceptions of the importance of race and cultural identity.

This dissertation is the product of the generosity of the North Caroliniana Society for awarding me the Archie K. Davis Research Fellowship and the Virginia Historical Society in presenting me with the Andrew W. Mellon Research Fellowship. Frances Pollard, John McClure, and everyone else at the Virginia Historical Society were very kind to me in my stay and helpful with my research. The entire staff of the Wilson Library special collections at the University of North Carolina were sensational. I would like to thank Cheryl Ferguson and Dana Chandler at Tuskegee University. Diane Jacob at the VMI Archives and Seth McCormick-Goodheart, Lisa McCown, and Vaughn Stanley at Washington and Lee Special Collections offered invaluable assistance and made me feel very much at home in Lexington. I offer my thanks as well to the archivists at Hampton University, the University of Virginia, and the Atlanta University Center. I was fortunate my research took me to so many beautiful places and excellent centers of learning. As I said, I would be remiss if I did not go far back in my past to acknowledge intellectual debts of gratitude.

  • “The Wisest Radical of All”: Reelection (September-November, 1864)
    Chapter Thirty-four “The Wisest Radical of All”: Reelection (September-November, 1864) The political tide began turning on August 29 when the Democratic national convention met in Chicago, where Peace Democrats were unwilling to remain in the background. Lincoln had accurately predicted that the delegates “must nominate a Peace Democrat on a war platform, or a War Democrat on a peace platform; and I personally can’t say that I care much which they do.”1 The convention took the latter course, nominating George McClellan for president and adopting a platform which declared the war “four years of failure” and demanded that “immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hostilities, with a view to an ultimate convention of the states, or other peaceable means, to the end that, at the earliest practicable moment, peace may be restored on the basis of the Federal Union of the States.” This “peace plank,” the handiwork of Clement L. Vallandigham, implicitly rejected Lincoln’s Niagara Manifesto; the Democrats would require only union as a condition for peace, whereas the Republicans insisted on union and emancipation. The platform also called for the restoration of “the rights of the States 1 Noah Brooks, Washington, D.C., in Lincoln’s Time, ed. Herbert Mitgang (1895; Chicago: Quadrangle Books, 1971), 164. 3726 Michael Burlingame – Abraham Lincoln: A Life – Vol. 2, Chapter 34 unimpaired,” which implied the preservation of slavery.2 As McClellan’s running mate, the delegates chose Ohio Congressman George Pendleton, a thoroughgoing opponent of the war who had voted against supplies for the army. As the nation waited day after day to see how McClellan would react, Lincoln wittily opined that Little Mac “must be intrenching.” More seriously, he added that the general “doesn’t know yet whether he will accept or decline.

  • Civil War Dissent in the Cincinnati Area
    The recession of 1861-1862 hit Cincinnati hard as the river trade collapsed and Cincinnati businessmen felt the loss of Southern markets. Irish-Americans in the city developed strong anti-emancipation feelings and feared that the freed Negroes would release a flood of "cheap labor" on the North and the ex-slaves •would steal jobs from them. Sound and Fury: Civil War Dissent in the Cincinnati Area by Frank L. Klement 'T'he word "dissent" bears a negative connotation. The Oxford dictionary defines it as "difference of opinion or sentiment."1 Simply, a dissenter is one who disagrees with majority views and with the turn of events. Dissenters of Civil War days did not agree with majority opinion or prevailing views, and they opposed the course of events of the 1861-1865 era. The Civil War was a complex, four-year event with widespread effects and discernible facets. Historians, looking back at the Civil War a hundred years later, discern at least four separate if related aspects: (1) The use of armed might or coercion as a means to save the Union; (2) The centralization of power in Washington as the federal union evolved into a strong national gov- ernment; (3) A social revolution, featuring the emancipation of slaves and the extension of rights to the black man; (4) The forces of industrialism gaining control of the government, bringing an end to the alliance of the agricultural South and the West. Dissenters of Civil War days, then, were citizens who opposed one or all four aspects of the war—they may have favored compromise rather than force to restore the Union; they may have feared that the central government was evolving into a despotism; they may have been racists opposing emancipation; or they may have been Western sectionalists opposing domination of the gov- ernment by the lords of the looms and the masters of capital.

This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmborj LINCOLN, VALLANDIGHAM, AND ANTI-WAR SPEECH IN THE CIVIL WAR Michael Kent Curtis' In the early morning hours of May 5, 1863, Union soldiersforcibly arrested Clement L. Vallandigham, a prominent Democratic politician and former congressman,for an anti-war speech which he had given a few days earlier in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Vallandigham'sarrest ignited debate aboutfreedom ofspeech in a democracy duringa time of war and the FirstAmendment rights of critics of an administration. This Article is one in a series by ProfessorCurtis which examines episodes in the history offree speech before and during the Civil War. In this Article, ProfessorCurtis explores the FirstAmendment's guarantee of free speech and the contention that other constitutionalvalues must supersede this guarantee during a time of war. He discusses and evaluates theories that Vallandigham's contemporariesadvocated in support of protectionfor anti-war speech, as well as theoriessupporting the suppression of anti-war speech. Curtis concludes that even in a time of war,free speech is essential to the preservation of a representativegovernment and individuals' Constitutionalright to discuss issues crucialto their lives.

  • JH Reading V1.1
    John Holt’s Book and Music Store Complete Reading List, 1977 to 2001 By Patrick Farenga Question Authority When I began work at Growing Without Schooling magazine in 1981 it was clear from the materials John Holt sold that he intended GWS to be a practical resource for parents and learners, as well as provide the intellectual, legal, and social groundwork for a new option to conventional education. Holt provided resources, research, support, and personal stories to give ordinary people the courage, ways, and means to teach their own children. When I first browsed through the Holt bookstore I was shocked by titles like How to Raise a Healthy Child In Spite of Your Doctor, How to Play Piano Despite Years of Lessons, Teach Your Own, Anything School Can Do You Can Do Better, Equal Rights for Children, Escape From Childhood, Caring For Your Own Dead, Giving Up the Gun, Deschooling Society . but I soon appreciated their appeal to people who sought ways to live well in an increasingly standardized, technological world that treats education as a mass-produced product that requires force-feeding in school. In 1981 it was nearly impossible to purchase school materials or textbooks for homeschooling use, so we had to rely on conventional bookstores and used bookstores (there were many of both then), third-party sources, public libraries, college libraries, textbook depositories, mail-order catalogs, and word of mouth to locate them. John Holt saw this need and addressed it by creating John Holt’s Book and Music Store, a mail-order catalog, built around books and materials parents could use with their children, as well as many items that can be used by children on their own.
