The materials in this finding aid measure 10 linear feet. There are no restrictions on the materials. Single photocopies of unpublished writings in the Hallum W. Goodloe Papers may be made for purposes of scholarly research. SCOPE AND CONTENT The papers of Hallum Wood Goodloe covering the period of 1863-1956 and numbering approximately 7,500 items, contain accounts, correspondence, diaries, genealogical data, legal documents, newspaper clippings, photographs, scrapbooks, speeches, writings, and some miscellaneous memoranda. The bulk of the material falls between the period of 1901-1949, during which time Goodloe served almost continuously in some department of state government. The earliest document in the collection is a diary kept by C.A. Goodloe (Hallum’s father) during 1863-1864 and is primarily a record of personal and family activities in the local church and social events. Several references tell of Federal troops operating in the area. Correspondence constitutes the largest portion of material in the collection. The family letters were segregated and the principal correspondents in this portion are Mrs. D.A. George and Mrs. Mary G. Hart, aunts; Mrs. Mary Tatum DeBose, a cousin; and Mrs. C.A. Goodloe, stepmother of Hallum. Much of the general correspondence, particularly of the earlier period, provides an insight into Tennessee’s political life and personalities. The writers often lucidly deal with local political conditions around the state. Included in this correspondence are J.B. Avery, R.L. Bynum, Newton B. Cannon, Jr., John Connell, Prentice Cooper, W.W. Faw, Stanley Horn, Cordell Hull, James R. Jetton, John Trotwood Moore, Hill McAlister, E.E. Patton, Tom C. Rye, and others. Some Civil War material is found in the collection. Dr. A.T. Goodloe, author of Rebel Relics and Confederate Echoes, related several experiences in a five-page paper written about him years after the war. Goodloe, a graduate of the Richmond, Virginia, Medical College, enlisted as a private in Co. D, 35th Alabama Infantry Regiment. After the war, he became a minister in the M.E. Church South. Another article, written by Mrs. Mary G. Hart, relates a sharp skirmish between Confederates and Federals on her father’s farm in Dyer County. C.A. Goodloe fought in the skirmish and met his future wife, Sarah Wood, there. Also of interest is the large amount of Masonic material collected by Hallum Goodloe.

  • Black Politics in the Age of Jim Crow Memphis, Tennessee, 1865 to 1954
    Black Politics in the Age of Jim Crow Memphis, Tennessee, 1865 to 1954 Elizabeth Gritter A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Jacquelyn Dowd Hall W. Fitzhugh Brundage William R. Ferris Genna Rae McNeil Larry J. Griffin Copyright 2010 Elizabeth Gritter ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract ELIZABETH GRITTER: Black Politics in the Age of Jim Crow: Memphis, Tennessee, 1865 to 1954 (Under the direction of Jacquelyn Dowd Hall) Because the vast majority of black southerners were disenfranchised, most historians have ignored those who engaged in formal political activities from the late nineteenth century through the 1950s. This study is the first to focus on their efforts during this time. In contrast to narratives of the Jim Crow era that portray southern blacks as having little influence on electoral and party politics, this dissertation reveals that they had a significant impact. Using Memphis as a case study, it explores how black men and women maneuvered for political access and negotiated with white elites, especially with machine boss Edward H. Crump. It focuses in particular on Robert R. Church, Jr., who interacted with Crump, mobilized black Memphians, and emerged as the country’s most prominent black Republican in the 1920s. Church and other black Republicans carved out a space for themselves in party politics and opened up doors for blacks in the process. This study argues that formal black political mobilization constituted a major prong of the black freedom struggle during the Jim Crow era in the South.

  • Past Governors and Constitutional Officers of Tennessee
    Past Governors and Constitutional Officers of Tennessee Past Governors William Blount 1790–1795, Democratic-Republican (territorial governor) Born in North Carolina in 1749, Blount served in the Continental Congress 1782–1783 and 1786–1787. In 1790, President Washington appointed him governor of the newly formed Territory South of the River Ohio, formerly part of North Carolina. While governor, Blount was also Indian affairs superintendent and negotiated, among others, the Treaty of the Holston with the Cherokee. His new government faced for- midable problems, intensified by conflicts created by European/Indian contact. In 1795, Blount called a constitutional convention to organize the state, and Tennessee entered the Union the next year. Blount repre- sented the new state in the U.S. Senate, and, after expulsion from that body on a conspiracy charge, served in the state Senate. He died in 1800. John Sevier 1796–1801; 1803–1809, Democratic-Republican Born in Virginia in 1745, Sevier as a young man was a successful merchant. Coming to a new settlement on the Holston River in 1773, he was one of the first white settlers of Tennessee. He was elected governor of the state of Franklin at the end of the Revolutionary War and as such became the first governor in what would be Tennessee. When statehood was attained in 1796, Sevier was elected its first governor. He served six terms totaling twelve years. While governor, he negotiated with the Indian tribes to secure additional lands for the new state and opened State of Tennessee new roads into the area to encourage settlement. At the close of his sixth term, he was elected to the state Senate and then to Congress.
