  • In April 1917, John Sharp Williams Was Almost Sixty-Three Years Old, and He Could Barely Hear It Thunder
    1 OF GENTLEMEN AND SOBs: THE GREAT WAR AND PROGRESSIVISM IN MISSISSIPPI In April 1917, John Sharp Williams was almost sixty-three years old, and he could barely hear it thunder. Sitting in the first row of the packed House chamber, he leaned forward, “huddled up, listening . approvingly” as his friend Woodrow Wilson asked the Congress, not so much to declare war as to “accept the status of belligerent” which Germany had already thrust upon the reluctant American nation. No one knew how much of the speech the senior senator from Mississippi heard, though the hand cupped conspicuously behind the right ear betrayed the strain of his effort. Frequently, whether from the words themselves or from the applause they evoked, he removed his hand long enough for a single clap before resuming the previous posture, lest he lose the flow of the president’s eloquence.1 “We are glad,” said Wilson, “now that we see the facts with no veil of false pretense about them, to fight thus for the ultimate peace of the world and for the liberation of its peoples, the German peoples included; for the rights of nations, great and small, and the privilege of men everywhere to choose their way of life and of obedience. The world must be made safe for democracy.” That final pregnant phrase Williams surely heard, for “alone he began to applaud . gravely, emphatically,” and continued until the entire audience, at last gripped by “the full and immense meaning” of the words, erupted into thunderous acclamation.2 Scattered about the crowded chamber were a handful of dissenters, including Williams’s junior colleague from Mississippi, James K.

Throughout that period, those deeply-rooted black cultural traditions, carried through centuries of bondage and further developed after 1865, remained important weapons in African Americans’ fight to control their own lives and labor. Drawing on narratives of former slaves, sportsmen’s recollections, records of fish and game clubs and resorts and sporting periodicals, I show that former slaves used hunting and fishing to reduce their dependence on agricultural labor in the service of whites and maximize their freedom. Because they reflected both symbolic and real African-American independence, hunting and fishing became central targets of white efforts to more firmly draw the racial line and protect their own economic and sporting interests.

  • My Intention Is Not to Draw, As John Cullen Delightfully Does in Old Times in the Faulkner Country, Any Parallels Between Real People and Faulkner's Characters
    THE BACKGROUND OF SNOPESISM IN MISSISSIPPI POLITICS WARREN G. FRENCH My intention is not to draw, as John Cullen delightfully does in Old Times in the Faulkner Country, any parallels between real people and Faulkner's characters. Nor do I intend to derive a picture of Mississippi at the turn-of the century from clues in The Hamlet. Rather I wish to con­ front the historical record of the period with Faulkner's portrayal in the novel of human beings dramatizing their values through their actions. This confrontation shows, I believe, how "Snopesism"—however it may also re­ flect universal patterns of behavior—arose from conditions that existed in a particular place at a particular time. To support the validity of this effort, I call upon Faulkner himself, who said during his visit to Japan, "In my country, an artist is nothing. Nobody pays attention to him. ... In my country, instead of asking the artist what makes children commit suicide, they goto the Chairman of Gen­ eral Motors and ask him. That is true. If you make a million dollars, you know all the answers.'1 But this cynical outburst can only mean that Faulk­ ner did not believe that we might do better to ask the artist. He also said during these talks at Nagano that he loved his country enough "to want to cure its faults" by shaming and criticizing it. He felt that the writer "should not be just a 'recorder' of man—he should give man some reason to believe that man can be better than he is.
