Black Hawk during the Civil War. As part of what came to be nicknamed the “brown water navy,” a flotilla of purchased and comman- deered river vessels, it patrolled America’s inland waterways as the Union Army advanced. Built in 1857 in New Albany, Ind., as the New Uncle Sam, the 902-ton sidewheel steamboat was purchased and renamed by the Navy in November 1862. The Black Hawk served during the siege of Vicksburg and as the flagship of rear admirals David Dixon Porter and Samuel Phillips Lee before accidentally burning and sinking near Cairo, Ill., on April 22, 1865. (Courtesy Naval Historical Center, U.S. Department of the Navy ) From Carolina to Kentucky: Andrew Colley—Farmer, Fighter, Pioneer By Betty Butler Ravenholt Author’s note: For cited North and South Carolina deed records, censuses, and wills in which Andrew, Samuel, and William Colley were primary participants, I have had access to microfilm of the original documents or photocop- ies of the microfilm of the original documents. For all Kentucky court, marriage and land records cited I have had access to the original documents or to microfilm of the original documents. The minutes of the Spartanburg County, South Carolina, County Court prior to 1800, however, are not a part of the microfilm collection of the Family His- tory Library [FHL], Salt Lake City, Utah. In the introduction to his Spartanburg County, South Carolina, Minutes of the County Court, 1785-1799, Brent Holcomb states that the original of more than half the pages of the first volume of these minutes is, in fact, no longer extant and those pages exist now only in the W.P.A. copy. I have had access to photocopies of microfilm of selected original pages of the minutes of the Spartanburg County County Court. The limited number of repositories that now hold original or microfilm copies of many early North and South Caro- lina records and the cost of obtaining copies ($20/record requested from the North Carolina Office of Archives and History; $15/record requested from the South Carolina Department of Archives and History) of the original of every referenced record have led me to use derivative sources in cases where the record was not deemed of primary impor- tance to my principal argument. Use of derivative sources may, of course, introduce unintended transcriber error; but derivative sources have not been used in this study in instances where it appeared to me they could not be substantiat- ed by other records or corroborated by other researchers. Researchers should always seek out the original records, when they are extant, as final verification of the accuracy of derivative sources.

  • Heraldic Terms
    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.

THE IDEOLOGICAL ORIGINS OF THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT Daniel A. Farber* and John E Muench** Most of the vast historical literature about the fourteenth amendment addresses the legislative intent regarding specific is­ sues such as school segregation. Our purpose is broader. Our concern is less with whether the framers believed in school segre­ gation than with how they felt about natural law. What did they regard as the sources of human rights? How did they think those rights related to the Constitution? In what ways did they expect the amendment to change that relationship? How did their ideas about rights relate to their thoughts about citizenship and govern­ ment, and to the experiences of Civil War and reconstruction? Our goal, then, is an intellectual history of the amendment. Our thesis is that the fourteenth amendment was based on a coherent theory of government. By the time it attained power in 1861, the Republican party had become identified with a well-ar­ ticulated theory of rights.

Wilson (1828-1895) represented his party and his state in the United States House of Representatives from 1861 to 1869 and the United States Senate from 1882 to 1895. A number of his contemporaries have been the subjects of excellent studies, and various memoirs and autobiogra- phies have helped to illuminate certain personalities and events of the period. ^ Yet Wilson's political career has re- ceived comparatively little notice. In the accounts of his con- temporaries, he appears in scattered references to isolated fragments of his life, while the general surveys of Iowa history either ignore him or mention him only briefly.^ He deserves better treatment. This essay sketches the outlines of Wilson's political career and suggests his role as conciliator in Iowa's Republican party politics. I hope the essay will help readers see Wilson's political career in a broader perspective 1.

  • Appendix As Too Inclusive
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph.

  • Enforcing the Rights of Due Process: the Original Relationship Between the Fourteenth Amendment and the 1866 Civil Rights Act
    Enforcing the Rights of Due Process: The Original Relationship Between the Fourteenth Amendment and the 1866 Civil Rights Act KURT T. LASH* For more than a century, legal scholars have looked to the 1866 Civil Rights Act for clues regarding the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. Because the 1866 version of the Act protected only citizens of the United States, most scholars believe that the Act should be used as a guide to understanding the Fourteenth Amendment's citizenship-based Privileges or Immunities Clause. A closer look at the original sources, however, reveals that the 1866 Civil Rights Act protected rights then associated with the requirements of due process. John Bingham, the man who drafted Section One of the Fourteenth Amendment, expressly described the 1866 Civil Rights Act as protecting the natural and equal right to due process in matters relating to life, liberty, and property. Believing that Congress at that time lacked the constitutional power to enforce the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, Bingham proposed a Fourteenth Amendment that expressly protected every per- son's right to due process and granted Congress the power to enforce the same. Following the rati®cation of the Fourteenth Amendment, Congress repassed the Civil Rights Act and extended the majority of its protections to ªall persons.º This ®nal version of the Civil Rights Act cannot be viewed as an enforcement of the rights of citizenship. Instead, it links the Civil Rights Act to the Due Process Clause and to the rights of all persons. Understanding the link between the 1866 Civil Rights Act and the 1868 Due Process Clause sheds important light on the original mean- ing of Section One of the Fourteenth Amendment.

  • John Dahlgren the Plymouth Rifle
    JOHN DAHLGREN And THE PLYMOUTH RIFLE Marc Gorelick, VGCA The author thanks Tim Prince of College Hill Arsenal (www.collegehillarsenal.com) and Cliff Sophia of CS Arms (www.csarms.com) for the use of their photographs. Few Americans today know who John Dahlgren was, or the role he played in the Civil War. Most Civil War and navy history buffs who recognize his name identify him as a Union Admiral and ordnance expert who developed a number of naval cannon. Indeed, for his achievements in developing naval cannon he became known as the “father of American naval ordnance.” But to the gun collecting community Dahlgren was also a small arms expert and the inventor of the unique Plymouth Rifle. Photo courtesy Tim Prince, College Hill Arsenal, www.collegehillarsenal.com DAHLGREN’S NAVY CAREER John Adolphus Bernard Dahlgren was born on November 13, 1809 in Philadelphia, the son of Bernhard Ulrik Dahlgren, the Swedish Consul in Philadelphia. Like another Swedish-American, John Ericsson, the inventor of the screw propeller, turret and ironclad monitor, Dahlgren was to have a profound effect on the U.S. Navy. Dahlgren joined the United States Navy in 1826 as a midshipman. He served in the U.S. Coastal Survey from 1834 to 1837 where he developed his talents for mathematics and scientific theory. He was promoted to lieutenant, and after a number of cruises was assigned as an ordnance officer at the Washington Navy Yard in 1847. Dahlgren was in his element as an ordnance officer. He excelled as a brilliant engineer and was soon given more and more responsibility.
