  • Callaway County, Missouri During the Civil War a Thesis Presented to the Department of Humanities
    THE KINGDOM OF CALLAWAY: CALLAWAY COUNTY, MISSOURI DURING THE CIVIL WAR A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS By ANDREW M. SAEGER NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY MARYVILLE, MISSOURI APRIL 2013 Kingdom of Callaway 1 Running Head: KINGDOM OF CALLAWAY The Kingdom of Callaway: Callaway County, Missouri During the Civil War Andrew M. Saeger Northwest Missouri State University THESIS APPROVED Thesis Advisor Date Dean of Graduate School Date Kingdom of Callaway 2 Abstract During the American Civil War, Callaway County, Missouri had strong sympathies for the Confederate States of America. As a rebellious region, Union forces occupied the county for much of the war, so local secessionists either stayed silent or faced arrest. After a tense, nonviolent interaction between a Federal regiment and a group of armed citizens from Callaway, a story grew about a Kingdom of Callaway. The legend of the Kingdom of Callaway is merely one characteristic of the curious history that makes Callaway County during the Civil War an intriguing study. Kingdom of Callaway 3 Introduction When Missouri chose not to secede from the United States at the beginning of the American Civil War, Callaway County chose its own path. The local Callawegians seceded from the state of Missouri and fashioned themselves into an independent nation they called the Kingdom of Callaway. Or so goes the popular legend. This makes a fascinating story, but Callaway County never seceded and never tried to form a sovereign kingdom. Although it is not as fantastic as some stories, the Civil War experience of Callaway County is a remarkable microcosm in the story of a sharply divided border state.

  • Phil the Postage Stamp Chapter 6
    Ladies who became FIRST Rachel Donelson – the Fourth in a Series by Randall Priest Rachel Donelson Robards Jackson [Figure 1] was born in June, 1767, to Colonel John Donelson and Rachel Stockley Donelson at their home about ten miles from Chatham, Virginia in Pittsylvania County, near the Banister River. She was the 11th of 12 children. When Rachel was 12 years old her family moved to Tennessee where Colonel Donelson co-founded what was to become the city of Nashville. When Rachel was about 19 years old she was attracting much attention from suitors. She was described as having “lustrous black eyes, dark glossy hair, full red lips, brunette complexion, though of brilliant coloring, and a sweet oval face rippling with smiles and dimples.” Her first marriage, at age 20, was to Captain Lewis Robards of Harrodsburg, Kentucky, a landowner and speculator. The marriage was not a happy affair, and after 3 years, in 1790, the two separated. Figure 1 When Andrew Jackson [Figure 2 & 6] migrated to Nashville, Tennessee, in 1788, he boarded with Rachel Stockley Donelson, the mother of Rachel Robards. Rachel and Andrew began seeing each other, and in 1791, they went to Natchez, Mississippi, and were married. This was after they saw a notice in the paper that said that Lewis Robards had obtained a divorce from Rachel. Soon it was learned that the notice was fake. Robards filed for divorce in 1794 using adultery as the reason. Rachel and Andrew ‘remarried’ in December of that year. As is the ‘normal’ way presidential election campaigns are run, the Figure 3 other side is always looking for some ‘dirt.’ During the campaign of 1828 supporters of John Quincy Adams [Figure 3], Jackson’s opponent accused Jackson’s wife of being a bigamist, among other things.

  • Whigs and Democrats Side-By-Side
    The Campaign of 1840: William Henry Harrison and Tyler, Too — http://edsitement.neh.gov/view_lesson_plan.asp?id=553 Background for the Teacher After the debacle of the one-party presidential campaign of 1824, a new two-party system began to emerge. Strong public reaction to perceived corruption in the vote in the House of Representatives, as well as the popularity of Andrew Jackson, allowed Martin Van Buren to organize a Democratic Party that resurrected a Jeffersonian philosophy of minimalism in the federal government. This new party opposed the tendencies of National Republicans such as John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay to invest more power in the federal government. Van Buren built a political machine to support Jackson in the 1828 election. Van Buren’s skills helped give the Democrats a head start on modern-style campaigning and a clear advantage in organization. The Democrats defeated the National Republicans in 1828 and 1832. The Democrats maintained their hold on the presidency when they bested the Whigs—a union of former National Republicans, Antimasons, and some states’ rights advocates—in 1836. But a major economic depression in 1837 finally gave the Whigs their best chance to occupy the White House. They faced Andrew Jackson’s political organizer, vice-president, and handpicked successor, President Martin Van Buren, who was vying for a second term. By the time forces were readying themselves for the election of 1840, both Democrats and Whigs understood how to conduct effective campaigns. In an election that would turn out an astounding 80 percent of a greatly expanded electorate, the parties were learning to appeal to a wide range of voters in a variety of voting blocks, a vast change from the regionally based election of 1824.

  • Abraham Lincoln Papers
    Abraham Lincoln papers From Sydney H. Gay to [John G. Nicolay], September 17, 1864 New York, Sept. 17 1864 1 My Dear Sir— I write you at the suggestion of Mr. Wilkerson to state a fact or two which possibly you may make use of in the proper quarter. 1 Samuel Wilkeson was Washington bureau chief of the New York Tribune. Formerly an ally of Thurlow Weed, Wilkeson at this time was in the camp of Horace Greeley. 2 The recent changes in the N. Y. Custom House have been made at the demand of Thurlow Weed. 3 4 This is on the authority of a statement made by Mr. Nicolay to Surveyor Andrews & Genl. Busteed. Now Andrews refuses to resign, & if he is removed he will publish the facts substantiated by oath & 5 correspondence. It will go to the country that Mr. Lincoln removed from office a man of whom he thought so well that he promised to give him anything he asked hereafter, provided he would enable the President now to accede to the demands of the man who, outside of this state, is universally beleived to be the most infamous political scoundrel that ever cursed any country, & in the state is without influence with the party which he has publicly denounced & abandoned. Mr. Lincoln ought to know immediately that such is the attitude which he will occupy before the people if he persists in this matter. Andrews will defend himself, & I know, from a consultation with some of the leading men in the party here, to-day, that he will be upheld & justified in it, be the consequences what they may.

  • The Truth Behind the Failure of the LIRR's Brooklyn to Boston Route
    Did The LIRR's Brooklyn To Boston Route (Ca. 1844- 1847) Fall Victim To Wall Street Stock Manipulation, Unfair Competition From Its “Partner Railroad”, The Untimely Inaction Of Its Own Board, And Finally, A Coup-De-Grace Delivered By The Builder Of The Atlantic Avenue Tunnel- Or Was Its Failure Purely The Result Of Darwinian Market Forces? By Bob Diamond Notes: The very low financial figures cited below need to be put into their proper perspective, in terms of relative value. The total original capitalization of the LIRR, to build from Brooklyn to Greenport (a distance of 95 miles), was, as of the year 1836, $1.5 million. Its construction cost, as estimated by its original Chief Engineer, Maj. D.B. Douglass, was $1.557 million (includes $300,000 to complete the Brooklyn & Jamaica RR). This figure did not include the capital costs of the LIRR's subsequent steamboat operations (New-York Annual Register For The Year 1836, Published by Edwin Williams, 1836, pg 191- 192). The opinions and conclusions cited below are strictly my own, and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of any other person. Special thanks go to Richard A. Fleischer for his invaluable comments and advice.
