Southern Slave vs. Military Laborer: Black Ambivalence Toward Joining the Union Army by Usa Clark Aprfi 17, 1996 2 Fort Sumter was under fire! The war was on! The news flashed through the cotton fields and tobacco plantations of the South. For most slaves, the commencement of the Civil War brought hope. Enslaved, oppressed, denied education and self-determination, the southern black looked with eagerness to his emancipation. In many cases, the negro slave desired to help fight his former owners, to bring down the institution of slavery. Imagine his surprise, then, upon greeting the northern army with open arms, only to be forced to serve the white officers, cook for and clean up after the troops, and perform hard, manual labor for the military. There was D~glory on the battlefield. Promises made for equal pay were broken so many times they became meaningless. The mixed emotions engendered by this reality resulted in confusion and contradiction.

  • Lyman Trumbull: Author of the Thirteenth Amendment, Author of the Civil Rights Act, and the First Second Amendment Lawyer
    KOPEL (1117–1192).DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 5/2/16 4:20 PM Lyman Trumbull: Author of the Thirteenth Amendment, Author of the Civil Rights Act, and the First Second Amendment Lawyer David B. Kopel* This Article provides the first legal biography of lawyer and Senator Lyman Trumbull, one of the most important lawyers and politicians of the nineteenth century. Early in his career, as the leading anti-slavery lawyer in Illinois in the 1830s, he won the cases constricting and then abolishing slavery in that state; six decades later, Trumbull represented imprisoned labor leader Eugene Debs in the Supreme Court, and wrote the Populist Party platform. In between, Trumbull helped found the Republican Party, and served three U.S. Senate terms, chairing the judiciary committee. One of the greatest leaders of America’s “Second Founding,” Trumbull wrote the Thirteenth Amendment, the Civil Rights Act, and the Freedmen’s Bureau Act. The latter two were expressly intended to protect the Second Amendment rights of former slaves. Another Trumbull law, the Second Confiscation Act, was the first federal statute to providing for arming freedmen. After leaving the Senate, Trumbull continued his fight for arms rights for workingmen, bringing Presser v. Illinois to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1886, and Dunne v. Illinois to the Illinois Supreme Court in 1879. His 1894 Populist Party platform was a fiery affirmation of Second Amendment principles. In the decades following the end of President James Madison’s Administration in 1817, no American lawyer or legislator did as much as Trumbull in defense of Second Amendment.

    Maria Ward’s primary document project (designed with 8th graders in mind) Student objectives: ~ The student will analyze historical documents and use this knowledge to better understand Lincoln’s actions during the Civil War. ~The student will find evidence to support Lincoln’s belief that emancipation is for the purpose of saving the Union, and that it must be done in a constitutional manner. Documents: ~Abraham Lincoln’s Letter to Horace Greeley August 22, 1862 Teaching American History Ashbrook Center for Public Affairs at Ashland University http://teachingamericanhistory.org/library/index.asp?subcategory=4 ~The First Confiscation Act (August 6, 1861) Freedmen & Southern Society Project http://www.history.umd.edu/Freedmen/conact1.htm ~Excerpt from the Proclamation Revoking General Hunter’s Order of Military Emancipation of May 9, 1862 Freedmen & Southern Society Project http://www.history.umd.edu/Freedmen/hunter.htm Narrative: Students will analyze Abraham Lincoln’s letter to Horace Greeley, August 22, 1862, the (first) Confiscation Act of 1861 and an excerpt from Lincoln’s the Proclamation Revoking General Hunter’s Order of Military Emancipation of May 9, 1862 to explain and support Lincoln’s belief that the purpose of the war is to save the Union, and that any action regarding the emancipation of enslaved persons should be carried out in a constitutional manner. Narrative that is more like a lesson plan: Students will first analyze Abraham Lincoln’s letter to Horace Greeley, August 22, 1862. This letter is in response to Greeley’s open letter titled, “The Prayer of Twenty Millions” in which Greeley urges Lincoln to free the slaves.

  • Slavery in the United States - Wikipedia Page 1 of 25
    Slavery in the United States - Wikipedia Page 1 of 25 Slavery in the United States Slavery in the United States was the legal institution of human chattel enslavement, primarily of Africans and African Americans, that existed in the United States of America in the 18th and 19th centuries. Slavery had been practiced by Americans under British rule from early colonial days, and was legal in all Thirteen Colonies at the time of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. It lasted until the end of the American Civil War. By the time of the American Revolution (1775–1783), the status of slave had been institutionalized as a racial caste associated with African ancestry.[1] When the United States Constitution was ratified (1789), a relatively small number of free people of color were among the voting citizens (male property owners).[2] During and immediately following the Revolutionary War, abolitionist laws were passed in most Northern states and a movement developed to abolish slavery. Most of these states had a higher proportion of free labor than in the South and economies based on different industries. They abolished slavery by the end of the 18th century, some with gradual systems that kept adults as slaves for two decades. However, the rapid expansion of the cotton industry in the Deep South after the invention of the cotton gin greatly increased demand for slave labor, and the An animation showing when United States territories and states Southern states continued as slave societies. Those states attempted to extend slavery into the new Western forbade or allowed slavery, 1789–1861.

I am especially grateful to the sister of Jeffie Conner, Vera Malone, and her daughter, Vivienne Mayes, for donating the Conner papers to Baylor University. Kent Keeth, Ellen Brown, William Ming, and Virginia Ming helped me immensely at the Texas Collection at Baylor. I appreciated the assistance given me by Jene Wright at the Waco Public Library. Rowena Keatts, the librarian at Paul Quinn College, deserves my plaudits for having the foresight to preserve copies of the Waco Messenger, a valuable took for historical research about blacks in Waco and McLennan County. The staff members of the Lyndon B. Johnson Library and Texas State Library in Austin along with those at the Prairie View A and M University Library gave me aid, information, and guidance for which I thank them. Kathy Haigood and Fran Thompson expended time in locating records of the McLennan County School District for me. I certainly appreciated their efforts. Much appreciation also goes to Robert H. demons, the county school superintendent.

  • "Rebels to the Core": Memphians Under William T. Sherman
    "Rebels to the Core": Memphians under William T. Sherman By John Bordelon Tis idle to talk about Union men here. Many want Peace, and fear war & its results but all prefer a Southern Independent Government, and are fighting or working for it. Major General William T. Sherman 1 Memphis, Tennessee, August 11, 1862 Citizens representing various segments of Memphis society, from a southern judge to daring "lady smugglers," engaged in unconventional warfare against the occupying Union presence under Major General William Tecumseh Sherman. White Memphians resisted Federal occupation and aided the Confederacy by smuggling goods, harboring spies, manipulating trade, burning cotton, attacking steamers, and expressing ideological opposition through the judicial system. In occupied Memphis, Sherman never confronted a conventional army. Instead, he faced relentless opposition from civilians sympathetic to the Confederacy. Previous scholarship on Memphis during the Civil War treats examines the city's experience from numerous angles.2 However, the extent of civilian devotion to the Confederacy and willingness to actively pursue their cause deserves further exploration. Focusing on the actions of pro-Confederate Memphians during one officers tenure in the occupied city allows for a more intimate understanding of the character of the city during wartime. Because of a shortage of extant writings of Memphians during the war, the correspondence of W T. Sherman provides valuable insight into the experience of the city in 1862. 1 W T. Sherman to Salmon P. Chase, August 11, 1862, as published in Brooks D. Simpson and Jean V. Berlin, eds., Sherman's Civil Wftr: Selected Correspondence ofWilliam T Sherman, 1860-1865 (Chapel Hill, N.C.: University of North Carolina Press, 1999), 270.

    The Great Emancipator: A Look at Who Really Freed the Slaves Al A. Ali History 489: Senior Thesis November 20, 2015 Copyright © for this work is owned by the author.

It used to be that when someone asked this question the answer was easily Abraham Lincoln. However, today some historians argue that the slaves freed themselves. In this paper, I take a look at both the self-emancipation and the pro-Lincoln sides of the argument. These arguments are then paired with letters and speeches written by Lincoln, along with statistics from the 1860 Presidential Election to show two things. First, yes, those who argue self- emancipation have some validity because the slaves did in fact assist the Union during the Civil War. Second, and most importantly it will show that Lincoln did in fact free the slaves. iii Figures Figure 1: US Slave Population 1790-1860. 3 Figure 2: 1860 Presidential Election Electoral Results Map 16 Figure 3: Lincoln’s 1860 Election Results in the Border States 17 Figure 4: Slave Resistance 20 Figure 5: Key Civil War Events 21 iv Introduction “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” The Declaration of Independence “If this country cannot be saved without giving up that principle, I would rather be assassinated on the spot than to surrender it.”1 Abraham Lincoln Freedom is considered to be this country’s most sacred principle.

THE ELAINE RIOT OF 1919: RACE, CLASS, AND LABOR IN THE ARKANSAS DELTA by Steven Anthony A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2019 ABSTRACT THE ELAINE RIOT OF 1919: RACE, CLASS, AND LABOR IN THE ARKANSAS DELTA by Steven Anthony The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2019 Under the Supervision of Professor Gregory Carter This dissertation examines the racially motivated mob dominated violence that took place during the autumn of 1919 in rural Phillips County, Arkansas nearby Elaine. The efforts of white planters to supplant the loss of enslaved labor due to the abolition of American slavery played a crucial role in re-making the southern agrarian economy in the early twentieth century. My research explores how the conspicuous features of sharecropping, tenant farming, peonage, or other variations of debt servitude became a means for the re-enslavement of African Americans in the Arkansas Delta.
