Dred Scott v. Sandford' INTRODUCTION With a single sentence, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Taney affirmed the value of one type of property-slaves-and undercut the value of another-western land. Uncertainty about land markets suf- fused the economy in family decisions about whether and where to migrate, in the transportation sector (particularly railroads), in financial markets, and in politics.

Friday, June 21, 2013 the Failures That Ignited America's Financial
Friday, June 21, 2013 The Failures that Ignited America’s Financial Panics: A Clinical Survey Hugh Rockoff Department of Economics Rutgers University, 75 Hamilton Street New Brunswick NJ 08901 [email protected] Preliminary. Please do not cite without permission. 1 Abstract This paper surveys the key failures that ignited the major peacetime financial panics in the United States, beginning with the Panic of 1819 and ending with the Panic of 2008. In a few cases panics were triggered by the failure of a single firm, but typically panics resulted from a cluster of failures. In every case “shadow banks” were the source of the panic or a prominent member of the cluster. The firms that failed had excellent reputations prior to their failure. But they had made long-term investments concentrated in one sector of the economy, and financed those investments with short-term liabilities. Real estate, canals and railroads (real estate at one remove), mining, and cotton were the major problems. The panic of 2008, at least in these ways, was a repetition of earlier panics in the United States. 2 “Such accidental events are of the most various nature: a bad harvest, an apprehension of foreign invasion, the sudden failure of a great firm which everybody trusted, and many other similar events, have all caused a sudden demand for cash” (Walter Bagehot 1924 [1873], 118). 1. The Role of Famous Failures1 The failure of a famous financial firm features prominently in the narrative histories of most U.S. financial panics.2 In this respect the most recent panic is typical: Lehman brothers failed on September 15, 2008: and … all hell broke loose.

Wilson and Party Politics, 1855-1895 LEONARD SCHLUP ONE OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS of Iowa Republican- ism, James F. Wilson (1828-1895) represented his party and his state in the United States House of Representatives from 1861 to 1869 and the United States Senate from 1882 to 1895. A number of his contemporaries have been the subjects of excellent studies, and various memoirs and autobiogra- phies have helped to illuminate certain personalities and events of the period. ^ Yet Wilson's political career has re- ceived comparatively little notice. In the accounts of his con- temporaries, he appears in scattered references to isolated fragments of his life, while the general surveys of Iowa history either ignore him or mention him only briefly.^ He deserves better treatment. This essay sketches the outlines of Wilson's political career and suggests his role as conciliator in Iowa's Republican party politics. I hope the essay will help readers see Wilson's political career in a broader perspective 1.

THE PASSAGE OP THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1875 7 II. GEORGIA'S REACTION TO THE PASSAGE OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1875 18 III. GEORGIA'S REACTION TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS CASES OF 1883 25 CONCLUSION 35 APPENDICES 37 BIBLIOGRAPHY 41 ii INTRODUCTION The era beginning with the end of the Civil War and lasting until 1883 marks a very distinctive period in the history of blacks in America. "It opened with the collapse of the slave system, and closed with a Su preme Court decision that killed federal legislation designed to confer upon a lately emancipated people the political, civil, and social status that only free whites had hitherto enjoyed." The problem of reconstruction began immediately after the first shot of the Civil War was fired. No one in the North, from the President 2 on down, had any doubt that the South would eventually be defeated. Abraham Lincoln had one of his first opportunities to test his ideas on reconstruction with New Orleans, which fell into the hands of the Union army early in the war. By 1863 Lincoln felt that the war had progressed far enough for him to issue a Proclamation of Amnesty for ex-Confederates who would pledge their allegiance to the federal government.
