    Annotated Juneteenth Timeline compiled and edited by James Elton Johnson April, 2021 The Juneteenth holiday is a uniquely American commemoration that is rooted in the Civil War. With an emphasis on southern New Jersey, this timeline is constructed from a regional perspective of metropolitan Philadelphia. 1860 November 6 Abraham Lincoln elected president December 18 The Crittenden Compromise is proposed by Kentucky Senator John J. Crittenden. This proposed legislation would have extended the Missouri Compromise line (36o 30’ latitude north) to the Pacific Ocean. Both Republicans and Democrats opposed this plan. Republicans were concerned about the territories being open tto slavery and unfair competition for white workers. Democrats were against any restriction on slavery in the territories.

If ratified, this proposed 13th amendment would have explicitly enshrined the system of slavery into the U.S. Constitution. No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State. 2 But for the outbreak of war, ratification of the Corvin amendment by the states was quite likely.

VALOR, AND HOPE Copyright © 2013, Texas Historical Commission TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Texas in theCivil War The United States was rife with conflict and controversy in the years leading to the Civil War. Perhaps nowhere was the struggle more complex than in Texas. Some Texans supported the Union, but were concerned about political attacks on Southern institutions. Texas had been part of the United States just 15 years when secessionists prevailed in a statewide election. Texas formally seceded on March 2, 1861 to become the seventh state in the new Confederacy. Gov. Sam Houston was against secession, and struggled with loyalties to both his nation and his adopted state. His firm belief in the Union cost him his office when he refused to take anMarch oath of allegiance to the new government. 2, 1861 Gov. Sam Houston refused to declare loyalty to the Confederacy and was removed from office by the Texas secession convention in March 1861. SAM HOUSTON PORTRAIT Tensions were high when the Civil War began, and Texans responded in impressive numbers.

  • Civil War to Civil Rights Commemoration
    National Park Service U.S Department of the Interior Washington Support Office: Cultural Resources, Partnerships and Science Interpretation, Education and Volunteers Civil War to Civil Rights Commemoration Summary Report DEDICATION This report honors all those who suffered and died in this nation’s struggles for freedom and equality. It is also dedicated to our colleague, Tim Sinclair, who was taken from us too soon. Timothy D. Sinclair, Sr. (1974-2016) Chief of Interpretation Selma to Montgomery NHT Tuskegee Airmen NHS and Tuskegee Institute NHS You took us on a walk from Selma to Montgomery. To keep your vision and memory alive, “We’re still marching!” Silent sentinels stood watch for 22 hours to commemorate the 22 hours of combat that took place at Spotsylvania’s Bloody Angle. FREDERICKSBURG AND SPOTSYLVANIA NMP Cover Graphic: Courtesy of Chris Barr FOREWORD The Civil War to Civil Rights Commemoration has been quite a journey. Thanks to all of you who helped make it a meaningful and memorable one for our country. We hope our efforts have helped Americans understand the connection between these two epic periods of time as a continuous march toward freedom and equality for all–a march that continues still today. Along the way, perhaps the National Park Service learned something about itself, as well. When we first began planning for this commemorative journey, there were several Civil War parks that had difficultly acknowledging slavery as the cause of the war. Both Civil War sites and civil rights sites questioned whether a combined “Civil War to Civil Rights” Commemoration would water down and weaken each.

  • VOL. L, NO. 6 Michigan Regimental Round Table Newsletter—Page 1 July 2010
    VOL. L, NO. 6 Michigan Regimental Round Table Newsletter—Page 1 July 2010 Last month the Michigan Regimental lost a valued member as Daniel Basinski passed away at the age of ninety-eight. Daniel was a graduate of Emory University and during his working years, he had been a bio-chemist for Ford Hospital. Our condolences go out to his family. The Stuart Horse Artillery produced an amazing array of leaders, spearheaded by its first commander John Pelham. Others, lesser known, may have exacted records nearly as equal. Robert Beckham, Roger Preston Chew, James Breathed, James Franklin Hart, Philip Preston Johnston, William McGregor, Mathis Winston Henry, Marcellus Moorman—names that do not literally jump out to the average Civil War reader, but names that were godlike to the men who served under them. James Breathed is a prime example of such heroics. Neither a born soldier nor a trained one, Breathed, a Marylander by birth, was a 22-year-old physician practicing in Missouri when the war broke out. Desiring to serve the Confederacy, he boarded a train for the East to offer his services. By chance Breathed sat next to an officer, Jeb Stuart, who also was on his way to Richmond. A quick friendship developed and Stuart convinced the young doctor to join the 1st Virginia Cavalry. Within a few months Stuart organized the famous Horse Artillery. Indications are that James Breathed was Jeb’s first choice to lead the illustrious unit, even before John Pelham. Stuart’s confidence in Breathed would show up numerous times in the war.

  • “If Ever Men Stayed by Their Guns”
    “If Ever Men Stayed By Their Guns” Leadership in the 1st and 11th Corps Artillery on the First Day of the Battle of Gettysburg Bert Barnett During the Battle of Gettysburg, the roar of cannon mingled with the rattle of small arms during each phase of the engagement. Prominent among the Union forces desperately holding ground on July 1 were the artillery batteries of the 1st and 11th corps of the Army of the Potomac. In the face of heavy enemy fire from both Confederate infantry and artillery, these units repeatedly demonstrated their effectiveness, when well led, against the pressures of mounting numbers. Although ultimately unsuccessful in their defensive stand outside the town, these batteries provided valuable covering fire for their retreating infantry elements, helping to delay the Confederates. What follows is a close-up look at the differing levels of leadership ability within the 1st and 11th corps artillery, and how it shaped the outcome of the first day of battle, July 1, 1863. After the debacle of the Union disaster at Chancellorsville in May 1863, the Army of the Potomac was reorganized, and the artillery command structure was streamlined. Henceforth, all batteries in each corps were placed directly under the control of a single corps artillery chief and no longer attached to divisional commanders. These corps artillery chiefs reported directly to their respective corps commanders, but were also responsive to the overall chief of artillery, Brigadier General Henry Jackson Hunt.1 Hunt, an 1839 graduate of the United States Military Academy, had served in the artillery during the Mexican War and was twice brevetted, gaining the rank of major.
