Brinton © 2011 Anne Y. Brinton Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2011 The dissertation of Anne Y. Brinton was reviewed and approved* by the following: William A. Blair The College of the Liberal Arts Research Professor Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Anthony E. Kaye Associate Professor of History Nan E. Woodruff Professor of History Lovalerie King Associate Professor of English and Women’s Studies and Director of the Africana Research Center David G. Atwill Professor of History and Director of Graduate Studies *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii ABSTRACT This dissertation engages with recent scholarship on the slaveholding household and on struggles over the terms of labor as slavery underwent its internal collapse. Slavery stood at the crux of Border State political economies and political identities on the eve of Civil War. Vigorous markets in hiring and sale distributed widespread access to enslaved labor, disrupted black familial and social life, and stood as a terrain of struggle across which both white and black identities were articulated. Border State emancipation, no less traumatic than its Confederate counterpart(s), nonetheless took a different path. Recent scholars have observed that in much of the Confederacy, wartime emancipation was neither secure nor absolute. In the loyal Border States, it was more fraught yet. Slaves and ex-slaves struggled to navigate the overlapping terrains of federal policy, civil law, and the market in their labor as they began to lay the material and ideological foundations of free households.

  • (April-July 1861) “I Have Desired As Sincerely As Any
    Chapter Twenty-three “I Intend to Give Blows”: The Hundred Days (April-July 1861) “I have desired as sincerely as any man – I sometimes think more than any other man – that our present difficulties might be settled without the shedding of blood,” Lincoln remarked to a group of ersatz soldiers in late April. The “last hope of peace may not have passed away. But if I have to choose between the maintenance of the union of these states, and of the liberties of this nation, on the one hand, and the shedding of fraternal blood on the other, you need not be at a loss which course I shall take.”1 Little did he and most of his contemporaries realize how much fraternal blood would flow in order to save that Union and preserve those liberties; 620,000 soldiers and sailors (360,000 Union, 260,000 Confederate), including some of Lincoln’s closest friends, would die over the next four years. The total equaled the number of deaths in all other American wars combined, from the Revolution through the Korean War. One of those who failed to realize how bloody the war would become was Edwin M. Stanton, who on April 8 told John A. Dix: “I do not think peaceful relations will 1 This is a conflation of two versions of these remarks, one from the Perryville correspondence, 28 April, New York World, 29 April 1861, and the other from the New York Tribune, 1 May 1861, reproduced in Roy P.

  • Confederate] Congress [In Kentucky]
    RESOLUTION OF THE [CONFEDERATE] CONGRESS [IN KENTUCKY] 1861 Resolution Of The [Confederate] Congress Un Kentucky] 1861 INTRODUCTION BY Robert Emmett McDowell MULL-WATHEN HISTORIC PRESS LYNDON, KENTUCKY 40222 1970 COPYWRIGHT, NEW MATERIAl 1970 MULL-WATHEN HISTORIC PRESS THIS EDITION LIMITED TO 500 COPIES NO. _____ INTRODUCTION by Robert Emmett McDowell Very little can be said about the Civil War in Kentucky that has not been said many times before in almost every conceivable way. Even minor skirmishes have not escaped extensive descrip­ tions, analyses and interpretations. Consequently, this intro­ duction does not pretend to shed any new light on the subject. Its sole purpose is to give a brief summary of the events leading up to the formation of a futile - almost a farcical - provisional government at Russellville, and the equally futile act of admit­ ting Kentucky into the Confederacy. A concatenation of events which resulted in the original publication of the documents herein reprinted. When the Civil War finally erupted, Kentucky tried to maintain a posture of neutrality - a completely unrealistic response to the tragedy that was tearing apart the nation. There was no middle ground in that clash of principles. Either the United States was one country - "one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all" - or it was a loose federation of small, independent states. The last was basically the position taken by the South, and Kentucky's leaders in declaring for neutrality, had lent their support to the idea of state sovereignty and the Southern cause. Stripped of rhetoric, Kentucky's declaration of neutrality was as much an affirmation of her independence as South Carolina's secession, and it was so viewed by the Federal government in Washington City.
