The SAMS Lyceum of Martial and Societal Antediluvian Chronicles an Addendum to the SAMS Sporran for July 2020 The SAMS Lyceum of Martial and Societal Antediluvian Chronicles An addendum to The SAMS Sporran For July 2020 AMERICAN HISTORY ​America's forgotten Goddess She was here long before we were It might come as a surprise to you but our country hasn't always been called America. ​ Initially, it was referred to as Columbia. When the colonists began to search for a word to describe their country, they wanted to emphasize the difference between Europe and the new world. The term Columbia had been in use since 1738 by both Europeans and Colonists to describe the new world. It was first used in 1697 by Massachusetts Chief Justice Samuel Seawall. Although he referred to it as Columbina. The actual term Columbia was coined by Samuel Johnson. To them it was important that it end in “ia” as in Britania and Gallia and it recognized Christopher Columbus as the original ​ ​ discoverer. (Virtually all of the explorers of the new world were Italian. ie: Columbus, Vespucci, Verrazano, Cabato.) In debates about the colonies the British Parliament used the term Columbia instead of ​ ​ the colonies. The name also appeared in a collection of complimentary poems written by Harvard graduates in 1761, on the occasion of the marriage and coronation of King George III. Behold, Britannia! in thy favour'd Isle; At distance, thou, Columbia! view thy Prince, For ancestors renowned, for virtues more; Long before The Statue of Liberty or Uncle Sam for that matter, arrived on the scene, a quasi mythical figure, Columbia, became the unofficial representative of our country. She is pictured as a classical goddess in a gown resembling the stars and stripes wearing a Phrygian cap, which signifies freedom and the pursuit of liberty. Columbia first appears in the poetry of African-American Phillis Wheatley starting in 1776 during the revolutionary war: One century scarce perform'd its destined round, When Gallic powers Columbia's fury found; And so may you, whoever dares disgrace The land of freedom's heaven-defended race! Fix'd are the eyes of nations on the scales, For in their hopes Columbia's arm prevails. Especially in the 19th century, Columbia would be visualized as goddess-like female national personification of the United States and of Liberty itself, comparable to the British Britannia, the Italian Italia Turrita, and the French Marianne, often seen in political cartoons of the 19th-early 20th century. Political cartoonist Thomas Nast frequently depicted her in his cartoons. She was used almost exclusively instead of Uncle Sam until after World War I. During that war a medal was issued to those soldiers who were wounded in battle. It featured Columbia standing over a kneeling “doughboy”. This was later replaced by the modern day Purple Heart. On Liberty Bonds she was replaced by The Statue of Liberty. In 1798, Joseph Hopkinson wrote lyrics for Philip Phile's 1789 inaugural "President's March" under the new title of "Hail, Columbia." Once used as the de facto national anthem of the United States, until 1931, when "The Star-Spangled Banner" was officially named the national anthem. It is now used as the entrance march of the Vice President of the United States. The song "Columbia, Gem of the Ocean" (1843) commemorates the United States under the name Columbia. However Columbia isn't really forgotten. Columbia pictures still uses her as their logo. It is Columbia that adorns the top of the capitol Building in Washington DC. SCOTTISH HISTORY One Nation Under God How 'HE' got into The Pledge of Allegiance Glasgow born​ Rev. George Docherty was the pastor at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington D.C.. It is four blocks from the White House and the presidents often visit it. One day he heard his 7 year old son, Garth, recite the Pledge of Allegiance. He was distressed that God wasn't mentioned. “I didn't know what the Pledge of Allegiance was until I heard my son recite it, one nation, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. I came from Scotland, where we said 'God save our gracious queen and God save our gracious king’. Here was a pledge and God wasn't mentioned at all.” The next Sunday he delivered a sermon mentioning that since God was on our money he should be in our pledge also. Little happened following his sermon. However, again on February 7, 1954 he delivered the same sermon while President Eisenhower was present. The very next day a bill was introduced in The House of Representatives by Rep. Charles G. Oakman R-Mich. A companion bill was introduced in the Senate. Both passed and The President signed it into law later that year. That is how we became ‘One nation under God’. Hail to the Chief--tain "Hail to the Chief" is the official Presidential Anthem of the United States. The words were taken from a poem first published in 1810 under the title the “Lady of the Lake” by Sir Walter Scott- also known by the title “The Boat Song” and adapted to song. The song became so popular it was written into a musical by English songwriter James Sanderson. Soon it found itself crossing the Atlantic where a few of the words were altered. The original words were: Hail to the chief who in triumph advances Honour'd and bless'd be the evergreen pine! Long may the tree in his banner that glances Flourish and shelter the grace of our line. Heaven send it happy dew Earth lend it sap anew. Gayly to burgeon and broadly to grow While every Highland glen sends our shout back agen, Roderigh Vich Alpine, dhu, ho! Ieroe! Hail to the Chief was first used in 1815 to mark the birthday celebration of the late George Washington and again in 1828 at a ceremony attended by John Quincy Adams. The song was first suggested for presidential use by Julia Tyler at the 1845 inauguration of James K. Polk. 61% of all American presidents are of Scottish or Scots-Irish descent including the last two. 9 of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence were of Scots descent. 9 of the 13 colonial governors in the new USA (1783) were Scots. 35 Supreme Court Justices were of Scottish descent. From The Mess Deck ​ In keeping with the spirit of the season here are some suggestions to put a different ​ spin on your holiday cook out. Classic Burger Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds 80% lean 20% fat ground beef or ground chuck ​ 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper Optional: 4 slices of cheese 4 hamburger buns Optional: hamburger toppings - lettuce tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayo, relish, etc. Method:: Preheat the grill to 375 degrees F (medium-high). In a large bowl, add the beef. Sprinkle evenly with the Worcestershire sauce, seasoning salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Use your hands to mix the ingredients until they are just combined. Divide the meat mixture into fourths. Take 1/4 of the meat mixture and use your hands to press it into the shape of a hamburger patty that is about 3/4 inch thick. Make an indention in the middle of the patty to prevent bulging in the center of the hamburger as it cooks. Repeat with the remaining meat mixture, making 4 hamburgers. Place the burgers on the grill. Cook 4-5 minutes on the first side. Flip the burgers over and cook an additional 4-5 minutes, until the burgers have reached the desired doneness.* If adding cheese, lay a slice of cheese on each burger patty about 1 minute before taking the burgers off the grill, so the cheese has a chance to melt. Serve the burgers on hamburger buns with optional hamburger toppings. Notes: I usually cook for 4 minutes on each side for medium-well burgers. Inside Out Hamburgers ​ Ingredients: ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese ¼ cup shredded Gruyere cheese ​ ​ 1 pound 90%-lean ground beef 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 ½ teaspoons paprika ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper Method: Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat the broiler. ​ Combine Cheddar and Gruyere in a small bowl. Gently mix beef, Worcestershire, paprika and pepper in a large bowl, preferably with your hands, without overworking. Shape into 8 thin, 4-inch-wide patties. Mound 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on each of 4 patties, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Cover each with one of the remaining patties. Crimp and seal the edges Closed. To grill: Lightly oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the stuffed patties over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. (Be sure not to press the burgers as they cook or they'll split open and the cheese will ooze out.) To broil: Cover a broiler pan with foil and coat with cooking spray. Broil the stuffed patties in the upper third of the oven, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. In either case, let the burgers stand for 5 minutes before serving. Grilled Cheese Dogs Ingredients: 4 hot dog buns 2 tbsp. butter, softened 1/4 tsp. garlic powder ​ 1/4 tsp. onion powder 4 hot dogs, split lengthwise (be careful not to cut all the way through) 3 c. shredded cheddar 4 Green onions, sliced Method:Flatten hot dog buns with a rolling pin. ​ In a small bowl, stir together butter, garlic powder, and onion powder. Spread all over outsides of buns. In a large skillet over medium heat, sear hot dogs (working in batches if necessary) until charred, 2 minutes per side.

  • L'immagine Dell'italia, Eredità Antica
    L’immagine dell’Italia, eredità antica di Maria Grazia Maioli Archeologo Emerito della Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici dell’Emilia-Romagna Se chiedete a un ragazzo delle elementari o delle medie qual è la prima immagine che gli viene in mente pensando all’Italia, probabilmente vi dirà la sua forma geografica, il famoso stivale. Solo in seguito (ma non è detto) farà cenno alla figura femminile avvolta nel tricolore che compare a fumetto anche nei titoli di una famosa trasmissione televisiva. Vedere l’Italia come una persona che esiste e agisce non è al giorno d’oggi così immediato come poteva essere in altri momenti della storia patria. Manca l’abitudine all’utilizzo dei simboli e delle raffigurazioni simboliche, come è appunto la personificazione dell’Italia. Eppure la figura femminile, più o meno vestita come una donna “antica”, con la corona turrita, lo stellone in fronte e, nel caso, anche la spada, era per i nostri antenati un’immagine costantemente presente, fosse solo a livello inconscio. Compariva quasi ovunque ed era il simbolo dell’Italia, della Repubblica Italiana e quindi dell’essere Italiani: tutti sapevano che la testa turrita raffigurata un po’ dappertutto, dai francobolli alle monete, ai documenti ufficiali, rappresentava l’unione in un’unica matrice. La testa turrita è diventata il simbolo ufficiale dell’Italia solo dopo il referendum che sancì la 25 maggio 1958, Elezioni politiche fine della monarchia dei Savoia, dopo la Sulla copertina della Domenica del Corriere seconda guerra mondiale. Il simbolo non è l’Italia invita gli elettori a recarsi a votare comparso all’improvviso ma ha avuto una lunga gestazione, con variazioni nell’immagine e negli attributi che la caratterizzavano.

  • Pledge/ Star-Spangled
    The History of the Pledge of Allegiance Many Americans looked forward to October 11, 1892 (Columbus Day). That date marked the 400th Anniversary of the discovery of America. Events were planned for years in advance. Americans were looking forward to the beginning of a new century. The United States had recovered from most of the effects of its Civil War that began 30 years earlier, and people from around the world were flocking to the "Land of Opportunity." The previous year almost a half million immigrants had entered the United States through the Barge Office in Battery Park, New York and on New Years day of 1892 the new Federal Bureau of Receiving's station at Ellis Island had opened. The largest World’s Fair in history was scheduled to open in Chicago in 1893. Two men interested in both education and planned Columbus Day celebrations were Francis Bellamy and James Upham. To this day it is still unknown which of the two men actually authored the words that were to become the Pledge of Allegiance. It was published anonymously and not copyrighted. James Upham was an employee of the Boston publishing firm that produced "The Youth's Companion" in which it first appeared. Francis Bellamy was an educator who served as chairman of the National committee of educators and civic leaders who were planning the Columbus Day activities. What we do know for certain is that the words first appeared in the September 8, 1892 issue of "The Youth's Companion", and a month later more than 12 million school children recited the words for the first time in schools across the nation.

  • Old Glory, a Symbol of Freedom
    THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE I remember this one teacher. To me, he was the greatest teacher, a real sage of my time. He had much wisdom. We were all reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, and he walked over. Mr. Lasswell was his name … He said: “I’ve been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge of Allegiance all semester and it seems as though it is becoming monotonous to you. If I may, may I recite it and try to explain to you the meaning of each word. I – me, an individual, a committee of one. Pledge – dedicate all my worldly goods to give without self-pity. Allegiance – my love and my devotion. To the Flag – our standard, Old Glory, a symbol of freedom. Where ever she waves, there is respect because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts freedom is everybody’s job. Of the United – that means that we have all come together. States – individual communities that have united into 48 states, 48 individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose, all divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common purpose, and that’s love of country. Of America And to the Republic – a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. For which it stands One nation – meaning, so blessed by God. Indivisible – incapable of being divided. With liberty – which is freedom and the right of power to live one’s life without threats or fear or some sort of retaliation. And justice – The principle or quality of dealing fairly with others.

  • The History of the Pledge of Allegiance
    REV: FINAL The History of the Pledge of Allegiance I stand before you this evening in the uniform of the Heroes of ’76, a side order of the National Sojourners. The uniform is representative of those worn by members of our Brother George Washington’s Continental Army and is, in part, a symbol of the commitment the National Sojourners make to Proudly Serve the Cause of Patriotism. Such service, however is not unique to individual Sojourners --- in fact, it could be said that Proudly Serving the Cause of Patriotism is a passion of all Masons. In fact, the roots and symbols of American patriotism have their birth in Freemasonry. The precepts and teachings of Freemasonry helped shape the birth of this nation and are exhibited by the many notable patriots listed on the roles of lodges across America and Europe. The lodge rolls include founding fathers, presidents, congressmen, representatives, governors, commissioners, mayors, and council members. The lodge rolls also include many Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, Generals, Admirals, unit commanders, line officers, and a wealth of the enlisted ranks. All are dedicated to the freedom granted to all mankind by the Great Architect of the Universe. Furthering the guarantee of freedom and the expression of one’s personal belief, the lodge rolls have notable religious leaders, civil-rights leaders, astronauts, inventors, industrialists, poets, authors, and entertainers that are all dedicated to the Semper Fidelis Lodge No. 680 Program ~ Pledge of Allegiance – 12 June 2013 Page 1 common cause of personal freedom of all mankind. Masons, in particular, were instrumental in inspiring many of our patriotic symbols and the means for expressing our patriotism.

  • History of Fairfax City
    HISTORY OF FAIRFAX CITY The City of Fairfax began as the Town of Providence in 1805, a community built around the Fairfax County Courthouse. Completed in 1800 at the corner of Little River Turnpike and Ox Road, the area was a crossroads of conflict during the American Civil War with hardships and disrupted lives for everyone. From a crossroads of conflict, the area became a crossroads of commerce in the late nineteenth century when the dairy industry propelled economic rebirth and the building of schools, churches, homes, barns, and businesses and in 1874 the Town of Providence officially became the Town of Fairfax. The early 20th century ushered in a myriad of technological and transportation changes and the emergence of civic organizations, sports clubs, a Town police unit, and a volunteer fire company. World War II spurred rapid growth across the region in housing, business ventures, and population and Fairfax quickly changed from a rural to a suburban community. The Town of Fairfax deeded a 150-acre tract of land in 1959 to the University of Virginia to establish a permanent home for what is now George Mason University. In 1961, the Town of Fairfax was incorporated as the independent City of Fairfax and in 1962 a new City Hall was completed. Rich in history and heritage, residents and visitors enjoy a small-town atmosphere and an abundance of cultural and recreational pursuits in the midst of a bustling metropolitan area. As the City's first mayor, John C. Wood said in 1962 - "Fairfax has a wonderful past and present and an even greater future." HOW DID THE JULY 4TH CELEBRATION BEGIN IN FAIRFAX CITY? Fairfax City’s Independence Day Parade and Fireworks began in 1967 and was organized by the Delta Alpha Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority.

  • The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag
    I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. How the words “UNDER GOD” came to be added to the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States originated on Columbus Day, 1893. It contained no reference to Almighty God, until in New York City on April 22, 1951, the Board of Directors of the Knights of Columbus adopted a resolution to amend the Pledge of Allegiance as recited at the opening of each of the meetings of the 800 Fourth Degree Assemblies of the Knights of Columbus by the addition of the words “under God” after the words “one nation”. The adoption of this resolve by the Supreme Board of Directors had the effect of an immediate initiation of this practice throughout the aforesaid Fourth Degree Assembly meetings. At their annual State Meetings, held in April and May of 1952, the State Councils of Florida, South Dakota, New York and Michigan adopted resolutions recommending that the Pledge of Allegiance be so amended and that Congress be petitioned to have such amendment made effective. On August 21, 1952, the Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus, at its annual meeting, adopted a res- olution urging that the change be made general and copies of this resolution were sent to the President, the Vice President (as Presiding Officer of the Senate) and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The National Fraternal Congress meeting in Boston on September 24, 1952, adopted a similar resolution upon the recommendation of its President, Supreme Knight Luke E.

  • 'A Room of Their Own': Heritage Tourism and the Challenging of Heteropatriarchal Masculinity in Scottish National Narratives
    ‘A ROOM OF THEIR OWN’: HERITAGE TOURISM AND THE CHALLENGING OF HETEROPATRIARCHAL MASCULINITY IN SCOTTISH NATIONAL NARRATIVES by CARYS ATLANTA O’NEILL B.A. Furman University, 2015 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History in the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Fall Term 2019 Major Professor: Amelia H. Lyons © 2019 Carys Atlanta O’Neill ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the visibility of women in traditionally masculine Scottish national narratives as evidenced by their physical representation, or lack thereof, in the cultural heritage landscape. Beginning with the 1707 Act of Union between Scotland and England, a moment cemented in history, literature, and popular memory as the beginning of a Scottish rebirth, this thesis traces the evolution of Scottish national identity and the tropes employed for its assertion to paint a clearer picture of the power of strategic selectivity and the effects of sacrifice in the process of community definition. Following the transformation of the rugged Celtic Highlander from his pre-Union relegation as an outer barbarian to his post-Union embrace as the epitome of distinction and the embodiment of anti-English, anti-aristocratic sentiment so crucial to the negotiation of a Scottish place in union and empire, this thesis hones in on notions of gender and peformative identity to form the basis for an analysis of twentieth and twenty-first century national heritage dynamics. An innovative spatial study of monuments and memorials in the Scottish capital city of Edinburgh highlights the gendered inequity of memorialization efforts and the impact of limited female visibility on the storytelling potential of the cityscape.
