  • Witness for Freedom: Curriculum Guide for Using Primary Documents
    WITNESS FOR FREEDOM A Curriculum Guide for Using Primary Documents to teach Abolitionist History By Wendy Kohler and Gaylord Saulsberry Published by The Five College Public School Partnership 97 Spring Street, Amherst, MA 01002 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Witness for Freedom project began in 1995 with the vision of Christine Compston, then Director of the National History Education Network. She approached Mary Alice Wilson at the Five College Public School Partnership with the idea of developing an institute for social studies teachers that would introduce them to the documents recently published by C. Peter Ripley in Witness for Freedom: African American Voices on Race, Slavery, and Emancipation. Together they solicited the participation of David Blight, Professor of History at Amherst College, and author of Frederick Douglass’ Civil War: Keeping Faith in Jubilee. The Witness for Freedom Summer Institute was held in 1996 under their direction and involved twenty teachers from Western Massachusetts. The project was made possible by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission of the National Archives with additional support from the Nan and Matilda Heydt Fund of the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts. The publication of this guide by Wendy Kohler and Gaylord Saulsberry of the Amherst Public Schools offers specific guidance for Massachusetts teachers and district personnel concerned with aligning classroom instruction with the state curriculum frameworks. The Five College Public School Partnership thanks all of the above for their involvement in this project. Additional copies of this guide and the Witness for Freedom Handbook for Professional Development are available from the Five College Public School Partnership, 97 Spring Street, Amherst, MA 01002.

  • 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.

    BOOK REVIEWS Nature Religion in America: From the Algonkian Indians to the New Age. By CATHERINE L. ALBANESE. (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 1990. xvi, 267p. Illustrations, suggestions for further reading, index. $24.95.) On first glance, Catherine Albanese's Nature Religion in America might seem to cover familiar ground. Nature has been nearly synonymous with America and American religion since Henry Nash Smith's Virgin Land assigned to American notions of land and nature almost religious and cer- tainly luminous places in American antebellum thought. But Albanese goes far beyond Smith's myths and symbols. She probes specifically religious implications of American concepts of nature with a cast of characters so frequently unique and with an analysis and narrative so compelling that anyone who liked Smith will be drawn to Albanese immediately and anyone who is younger and has not read him will want to read both. Albanese's message is both elegant and straightforward. She argues that a religion of nature has lurked about in America from before European coloni- zation to the twentieth century and that this religion has intertwined ambiva- lently with Christianity until the late twentieth century, when the two became more distinct and often more hostile. Albanese establishes this argument with the kind of breadth that most readers will admire, though one suspects that Gore VidaPs "academic squirrels" will find her running when they are walking. Whatever, this is a book that every historian of American religion ought to read because it unravels and explains movements central to Ameri- ca's many sprawling and convoluted religious cultures.
