The Other Side of the Monument: Memory, Preservation, and the Battles of Franklin and Nashville
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MONUMENT: MEMORY, PRESERVATION, AND THE BATTLES OF FRANKLIN AND NASHVILLE by JOE R. BAILEY B.S., Austin Peay State University, 2006 M.A., Austin Peay State University, 2008 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2015 Abstract The thriving areas of development around the cities of Franklin and Nashville in Tennessee bear little evidence of the large battles that took place there during November and December, 1864. Pointing to modern development to explain the failed preservation of those battlefields, however, radically oversimplifies how those battlefields became relatively obscure. Instead, the major factor contributing to the lack of preservation of the Franklin and Nashville battlefields was a fractured collective memory of the two events; there was no unified narrative of the battles. For an extended period after the war, there was little effort to remember the Tennessee Campaign. Local citizens and veterans of the battles simply wanted to forget the horrific battles that haunted their memories. Furthermore, the United States government was not interested in saving the battlefields at Franklin and Nashville. Federal authorities, including the War Department and Congress, had grown tired of funding battlefields as national parks and could not be convinced that the two battlefields were worthy of preservation. Moreover, Southerners and Northerners remembered Franklin and Nashville in different ways, and historians mainly stressed Eastern Theater battles, failing to assign much significance to Franklin and Nashville. Throughout the 20th century, infrastructure development encroached on the battlefields and they continued to fade from public memory.

Tennessee Civil War Trails Program 213 Newly Interpreted Marker
Tennessee Civil War Trails Program 213 Newly Interpreted Markers Installed as of 6/9/11 Note: Some sites include multiple markers. BENTON COUNTY Fighting on the Tennessee River: located at Birdsong Marina, 225 Marina Rd., Hwy 191 N., Camden, TN 38327. During the Civil War, several engagements occurred along the strategically important Tennessee River within about five miles of here. In each case, cavalrymen engaged naval forces. On April 26, 1863, near the mouth of the Duck River east of here, Confederate Maj. Robert M. White’s 6th Texas Rangers and its four-gun battery attacked a Union flotilla from the riverbank. The gunboats Autocrat, Diana, and Adams and several transports came under heavy fire. When the vessels drove the Confederate cannons out of range with small-arms and artillery fire, Union Gen. Alfred W. Ellet ordered the gunboats to land their forces; signalmen on the exposed decks “wig-wagged” the orders with flags. BLOUNT COUNTY Maryville During the Civil War: located at 301 McGee Street, Maryville, TN 37801. During the antebellum period, Blount County supported abolitionism. In 1822, local Quakers and other residents formed an abolitionist society, and in the decades following, local clergymen preached against the evils of slavery. When the county considered secession in 1861, residents voted to remain with the Union, 1,766 to 414. Fighting directly touched Maryville, the county seat, in August 1864. Confederate Gen. Joseph Wheeler’s cavalrymen attacked a small detachment of the 2nd Tennessee Infantry (U.S.) under Lt. James M. Dorton at the courthouse. The Underground Railroad: located at 503 West Hill Ave., Friendsville, TN 37737.

John Cooper Sworn in As 9Th Mayor of Metro Nashville
JOHN COOPER SWORN IN AS 9TH MAYOR OF METRO NASHVILLE MAYOR JOHN COOPER’S REMARKS: Thank you to everyone for coming to Stratford High School this morning. This is special place. Fifty-six years ago — less than a week after Dr. Martin Luther King delivered his “I have a Dream” speech — my campaign co-chair — and my friend — Brenda Haywood — walked through these doors and integrated Stratford High. Today, Brenda joins me in my administration as deputy mayor for community engagement. Brenda, can you please stand? I am so honored by your trust and your support. Thank you. Today we gather together to celebrate a very special moment — the commissioning of a new government for our city. A co-missioning — a coming together. This is a celebration of collective action to make our community stronger. Today, we begin the work of making Nashville a city that works for everyone. Of ensuring that Nashville is a livable, nourishing city. Of making our city better. And we will do it together. That’s another reason we are here at Stratford STEM Magnet School. This is a school where TSU, Vanderbilt, and Nissan have come together to support the work being done here. This past year, 11 students from Stratford got full scholarships to Belmont University as part of Belmont’s Bridges to Belmont program. That’s a wonderful accom- plishment. But Stratford — like many of our schools — also faces challenges. It started the year without a chemistry or Spanish teacher. We are struggling to recruit and retain teachers. Teachers struggle to lead middle-class lives.

LAND RENEWAL PLUS PEOPLE RENEWAL: URBAN RENEWAL, ADULT BUSINESSES, AND PUBLIC HEALTH IN NASHVILLE by LEISHA RAYELLE MEADE (Under the Direction of Bethany Moreton) ABSTRACT The urban landscape of Nashville, Tennessee dramatically changed in the twentieth century. The efforts of politicians to increase tourism revenue altered the culture and economy of downtown Nashville. Under a consolidated government, local officials used the first Congressional funded urban renewal program and, later, public health policy to oust legal adult businesses. The downtown areas that were once home to pornography stores, adult theaters, and strip clubs were transformed in the push for a more family-friendly environment anchored by the rise of country music. INDEX WORDS: urban renewal, public health, pornography, landscape, Nashville, adult capitalism LAND RENEWAL PLUS PEOPLE RENEWAL: URBAN RENEWAL, ADULT BUSINESSES, AND PUBLIC HEALTH IN NASHVILLE by LEISHA RAYELLE MEADE Bachelor of Arts, University of the South: Sewanee, 2010 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2013 © 2013 Leisha Rayelle Meade All Rights Reserved LAND RENEWAL PLUS PEOPLE RENEWAL: URBAN RENEWAL, ADULT BUSINESSES, AND PUBLIC HEALTH IN NASHVILLE by LEISHA RAYELLE MEADE Major Professor: Bethany Moreton Committee: Kathleen Clark Nan McMurry Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia May 2013 DEDICATION I dedicate this thesis to my wonderful fiancé, Travis Estep. You have served as an “unpaid college intern” on research trips, a chef, a counselor, and an editor throughout this whole process. I know that I would have never come this far without the endless love and understanding that you have shown me.
