Background When Union troops took control of Confederate territory, the residents had to take a loyalty oath promising to uphold the U.S. Constitution and government. In return, they © Women and the American Story 2021 Page 4 of 7 A NATION DIVIDED, 1832-1877 Reconstruction were allowed to keep their homes and land, travel, get protection from the U.S. Army, and receive rations and support from the U.S. government. Loyalty oaths were most commonly required of former soldiers, but thousands of Confederate women took the oaths to protect their homes, families, and livelihoods. By the end of the war, these oaths came to symbolize the possibility of reconciliation. About the Document The first item in this pair of sources is a loyalty oath signed by Margaret Dunn in Missouri in 1862. Missouri was a border state, but tens of thousands of Missourians supported and fought for the Confederacy. Loyalty oaths varied from region to region because different commanding officers determined the phrasing and demands of the oaths. The second item is a sculpture by artist John Rogers. He sculpted this scene, entitled Taking the Oath and Drawing Rations, seven months after the end of the Civil War. It uses the well-known practice of taking loyalty oaths to represent the daunting task of reuniting the Union and Confederacy. A genteel white woman and her young child represent the Confederacy. They have come to take the oath in order to receive rations they need. Rogers used a woman and child because he knew they would evoke sympathy. An officer taking off his cap, a sign of respect, represents the Union. He will administer the loyalty oath. A Black child looks on. He has come with the white family and holds the basket that will be filled with rations after the oath. This sculpture struck a chord with white Americans in the post-war era. John Rogers sold so many copies that his workshop could not keep up with the demand. The sculpture came to be considered his masterpiece, and it was one of only two Civil War- themed sculptures that he continued to sell until his retirement in 1892. © Women and the American Story 2021 Page 5 of 7 A NATION DIVIDED, 1832-1877 Reconstruction Vocabulary • border state: The slave-holding states in the Union that shared a border with the Confederacy. • Confederate: Relating to the group of states that seceded from the United States before the Civil War in order to preserve slavery. • genteel: Respectable and refined. • rations: Supplies of food, clothing, or other daily necessities. • Union: The name for the states that remained a part of the United State during the Civil War. Discussion Questions • What does the loyalty oath demand of oath takers? Why were these demands a priority for occupying forces? • Why was the practice of Confederate women taking loyalty oaths so evocative for American viewers? • How does Rogers’ sculpture compare to the realities of the Civil War and Reconstruction? • What does the popularity of this sculpture tell us about attitudes towards reconciliation in the Reconstruction period? Suggested Activities • Use these sources in any lesson about the U.S. government’s attempt to repatriate Confederate supporters during and after the Civil War. • Ask students to critique the historical accuracy in Rogers’ sculpture and suggest changes that would more accurately reflect reconciliation. © Women and the American Story 2021 Page 6 of 7 A NATION DIVIDED, 1832-1877 Reconstruction • To help students understand why the U.S. government required Confederate women to take loyalty oaths, pair these sources with Changing the Rules of War. • To learn more about the experiences of Confederate women during Reconstruction, read the life story of Ella Gertrude Clanton Thomas. • For more information about how women were used as symbols in both Union and Confederate artwork, see the following: Scenes from the Confederate Homefront, Civil War Political Cartoons, and Nursing. • To complicate the prevailing stereotype of the genteel Confederate woman depicted in John Roger’s sculpture, explore any of the following: Women Soldiers, Smuggling, Changing the Rules of War, Civil War Political Cartoons, Life Story: Emily Jane Liles Harris, Life Story: Loreta Janeta Velázquez.

Stewart, delivered a very conservative message, taking the middle ground between secession and abolitionism, and pleading strenuously for peace and moderation. He declared, among other things, that the people of Missouri " ought not to be frightened from their propriety by the past unfriendly legislation of the North, nor dragooned into secession by the restrictive legislation of the extreme South." He concluded with a thrilling appeal for the maintenance of the Union, depicting the inevitable result of secession, revolution and war. Many of Governor Stewart's predictions were afterward fulfilled with start- ling and fearful exactness. The inaugural of the new Governor,

  • Callaway County, Missouri During the Civil War a Thesis Presented to the Department of Humanities
    THE KINGDOM OF CALLAWAY: CALLAWAY COUNTY, MISSOURI DURING THE CIVIL WAR A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS By ANDREW M. SAEGER NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY MARYVILLE, MISSOURI APRIL 2013 Kingdom of Callaway 1 Running Head: KINGDOM OF CALLAWAY The Kingdom of Callaway: Callaway County, Missouri During the Civil War Andrew M. Saeger Northwest Missouri State University THESIS APPROVED Thesis Advisor Date Dean of Graduate School Date Kingdom of Callaway 2 Abstract During the American Civil War, Callaway County, Missouri had strong sympathies for the Confederate States of America. As a rebellious region, Union forces occupied the county for much of the war, so local secessionists either stayed silent or faced arrest. After a tense, nonviolent interaction between a Federal regiment and a group of armed citizens from Callaway, a story grew about a Kingdom of Callaway. The legend of the Kingdom of Callaway is merely one characteristic of the curious history that makes Callaway County during the Civil War an intriguing study. Kingdom of Callaway 3 Introduction When Missouri chose not to secede from the United States at the beginning of the American Civil War, Callaway County chose its own path. The local Callawegians seceded from the state of Missouri and fashioned themselves into an independent nation they called the Kingdom of Callaway. Or so goes the popular legend. This makes a fascinating story, but Callaway County never seceded and never tried to form a sovereign kingdom. Although it is not as fantastic as some stories, the Civil War experience of Callaway County is a remarkable microcosm in the story of a sharply divided border state.

II OVERVIEW OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN MISSOURI; THE PROBLEM The citizens of Missouri are becoming increasingly aware of the dis­ comforting conflict that exists between the statements of policy in our official documents and their implementation. The Missouri Constitution and its Bill of Rights guarantees to every citizen equal opportunity and equal protection. Section 2, Article 1, the Missouri Constitution says: "That all constitutional government is intended to promote the general welfare of the people 5 that all persons have a natural right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and the enjoyment of the gains of their own industry? that all persons are created equal and are entitled to equal rights and opportunities under the law; that to give security to these things is the principal office of government and that when government does not confer this security, it fails in its chief design." The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States hold these same principles.
