    Criminal Disenfranchisement and the Reconstruction Amendments

    THE YALE LAW JOURNAL RICHARD M. RE & CHRISTOPHER M. RE Voting and Vice: Criminal Disenfranchisement and the Reconstruction Amendments A BST RAC T. The Reconstruction Amendments are justly celebrated for transforming millions of recent slaves into voting citizens. Yet this legacy of egalitarian enfranchisement had a flip side. In arguing that voting laws should not discriminate on the basis of morally insignificant statuses, such as race, supporters of the Reconstruction Amendments emphasized the legitimacy of retributive disenfranchisement as a punishment for immoral actions, such as crimes. Former slaves were not just compared with virtuous military veterans, as commentators have long observed, but were also contrasted with immoral criminals. The mutually supportive relationship between egalitarian enfranchisement and punitive disenfranchisement -between voting and vice - motivated and shaped all three Reconstruction Amendments. Counterintuitively, the constitutional entrenchment of criminal disenfranchisement facilitated the enfranchisement of black Americans. This conclusion complicates the conventional understanding of how and why voting rights expanded in the Reconstruction era. Criminal disenfranchisement's previously overlooked constitutional history illuminates four contemporary legal debates. First, the connection between voting and vice provides new support for the Supreme Court's thoroughly criticized holding that the Constitution endorses criminal disenfranchisement. Second, Reconstruction history suggests that the Constitution's

RECORD OF THE ORGANIZATIONS ENGAGED IN THE CAMPAIGN, SIEGE, AND DEFENSE OF VICKSBURG. COMPILED FROM THE OFFICIAL RECORDS BY jomsr s. KOUNTZ, SECRETARY AND HISTORIAN OF THE COMMISSION. WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. 1901. PREFACE. The Vicksburg campaign opened March 29, 1863, with General Grant's order for the advance of General Osterhaus' division from Millikens Bend, and closed July 4^, 1863, with the surrender of Pem- berton's army and the city of Vicksburg. Its course was determined by General Grant's plan of campaign. This plan contemplated the march of his active army from Millikens Bend, La. , to a point on the river below Vicksburg, the running of the batteries at Vicksburg by a sufficient number of gunboats and transports, and the transfer of his army to the Mississippi side. These points were successfully accomplished and, May 1, the first battle of the campaign was fought near Port Gibson. Up to this time General Grant had contemplated the probability of uniting the army of General Banks with his. He then decided not to await the arrival of Banks, but to make the cam paign with his own army. May 12, at Raymond, Logan's division of Grant's army, with Crocker's division in reserve, was engaged with Gregg's brigade of Pemberton's army. Gregg was largely outnum bered and, after a stout fight, fell back to Jackson. The same day the left of Grant's army, under McClernand, skirmished at Fourteen- mile Creek with the cavalry and mounted infantry of Pemberton's army, supported by Bowen's division and two brigades of Loring's division.

JACOBS & COMPANY Published January, 1909 This volume is dedicated to My Wife Fanny Beverley Wellford White PREFACE THE present biography of Stonewall Jackson is based upon an examination of original sources, as far as these are available. The accounts of Jack son s early life and of the development of his per sonal character are drawn, for the most part, from Doctor Eobert L. Dabney s biography and from Jackson s Life and Letters, by Mrs. Jackson. The Official Eecords of the war, of course, constitute the main source of the account here given of Jackson s military operations. Colonel G. F. E. Henderson s Life is an admirable of his career study military ; Doctor Dabney s biography, however, must remain the chief source of our knowledge concerning the personality of the Confederate leader. Written accounts by eye-witnesses, and oral statements made to the writer by participants in Jackson s campaigns, have been of great service in the preparation of this volume. Some of these are mentioned in the partial list of sources given in the bibliography. HENRY ALEXANDER WHITE. Columbia, S. C. CONTENTS CHRONOLOGY 11 I. EARLY YEARS 15 II. AT WEST POINT .... 25 III.

    1800 & Later Records Relating to the First Four Generations Records for some specific locations are contained in separate files: All records of Anson County, NC and Chesterfield County, SC are omitted from this file. Those records are found in a separate Chapter of the Chronicles. Records of Mecklenburg County, VA are omitted from this file (with the exception of tax records, which are duplicated herein.) Quaker records, referring primarily to the children and widow of Moses Hendrick, son of Adolphus Hendrick, are omitted from the following. They are referenced in the text, and can be found in the Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, mainly Volumes 5 and 6. ----- 1800 Enfranchised: Among the Qualified Voters of Halifax County this year: [Halifax County, VA, Deeds 18:461-468.] Obadiah Hendrick 1800 Taxables: Among those assessed in various counties of Kentucky this year were: Byrd Hendrick, Franklin County Bird D.

As a substitute, Mr. Clift assembled Tax Lists of 1800 for all of Kentucky’s counties, consolidated and alphabetized those taxable heads of households identified. Bird D. Hendrick was listed as “Hendricks,” but as documented elsewhere had no “s” in his surname. There is also a published “First Census of Kentucky”, a genealogical accommodation, for Kentucky did not become a State until 1792 when it was struck off from Virginia.
  • Chapter Two: the Effects of Confederate Deserters on the Floyd County Homefront

    Chapter Two: the Effects of Confederate Deserters on the Floyd County Homefront

    CHAPTER TWO: THE EFFECTS OF CONFEDERATE DESERTERS ON THE FLOYD COUNTY HOMEFRONT The majority of Floyd County’s enlistees and conscripts served the length of their commitment and returned home only after being discharged, killed, or defeated. However, nearly 23 percent of local soldiers chose to abandon the Confederate cause, desert their units, and return to “lay out” in the woodlands and mountains of Floyd County.1 The deserters were welcomed and assisted by Floyd’s actively disloyal Unionist residents, who openly encouraged further desertion, provided food and protection for local deserters, and sometimes even hired the county’s runaway soldiers as day laborers. Family, friends, and neighbors also fed and safeguarded local deserters, allowing them to survive in mountain hideaways and elude Confederate forces sent to arrest them.2 The passively disloyal aid local deserters received from kin and neighbors was based on familial ties and friendship and not specifically designed as action intended to impede or harm the Confederacy. Nonetheless, the passive disloyalty of kin and neighbors was viewed by county loyalists as parallel to the active disloyalty of Unionists and as blatantly traitorous to the Southern cause. The various forms of community support offered to the local runaway soldiers provoked a violent reaction from Floyd’s loyalist residents and from the Virginia and Confederate governments. This conflict further divided the county and escalated its collapse as a positive portion of the Southern homefront. After the rush of excitement and “patriotism” caused by secession, Confederate forces faced the grinding and excruciating vocation of soldiering in a long and bloody war.
