  • Antislavery Violence and Secession, October 1859
    ANTISLAVERY VIOLENCE AND SECESSION, OCTOBER 1859 – APRIL 1861 by DAVID JONATHAN WHITE GEORGE C. RABLE, COMMITTEE CHAIR LAWRENCE F. KOHL KARI FREDERICKSON HAROLD SELESKY DIANNE BRAGG A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2017 Copyright David Jonathan White 2017 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the collapse of southern Unionism between October 1859 and April 1861. This study argues that a series of events of violent antislavery and southern perceptions of northern support for them caused white southerners to rethink the value of the Union and their place in it. John Brown’s raid at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, and northern expressions of personal support for Brown brought the Union into question in white southern eyes. White southerners were shocked when Republican governors in northern states acted to protect members of John Brown’s organization from prosecution in Virginia. Southern states invested large sums of money in their militia forces, and explored laws to control potentially dangerous populations such as northern travelling salesmen, whites “tampering” with slaves, and free African-Americans. Many Republicans endorsed a book by Hinton Rowan Helper which southerners believed encouraged antislavery violence and a Senate committee investigated whether an antislavery conspiracy had existed before Harpers Ferry. In the summer of 1860, a series of unexplained fires in Texas exacerbated white southern fear. As the presidential election approached in 1860, white southerners hoped for northern voters to repudiate the Republicans. When northern voters did not, white southerners generally rejected the Union.

  • The Democratic Party and the Transformation of American Conservatism, 1847-1860
    PRESERVING THE WHITE MAN’S REPUBLIC: THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICAN CONSERVATISM, 1847-1860 Joshua A. Lynn A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Harry L. Watson William L. Barney Laura F. Edwards Joseph T. Glatthaar Michael Lienesch © 2015 Joshua A. Lynn ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joshua A. Lynn: Preserving the White Man’s Republic: The Democratic Party and the Transformation of American Conservatism, 1847-1860 (Under the direction of Harry L. Watson) In the late 1840s and 1850s, the American Democratic party redefined itself as “conservative.” Yet Democrats’ preexisting dedication to majoritarian democracy, liberal individualism, and white supremacy had not changed. Democrats believed that “fanatical” reformers, who opposed slavery and advanced the rights of African Americans and women, imperiled the white man’s republic they had crafted in the early 1800s. There were no more abstract notions of freedom to boundlessly unfold; there was only the existing liberty of white men to conserve. Democrats therefore recast democracy, previously a progressive means to expand rights, as a way for local majorities to police racial and gender boundaries. In the process, they reinvigorated American conservatism by placing it on a foundation of majoritarian democracy. Empowering white men to democratically govern all other Americans, Democrats contended, would preserve their prerogatives. With the policy of “popular sovereignty,” for instance, Democrats left slavery’s expansion to territorial settlers’ democratic decision-making.

  • Professional Communities in Alabama, from 1804 to 1861
    OBJECTS OF CONFIDENCE AND CHOICE: PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITIES IN ALABAMA, 1804-1861 By THOMAS EDWARD REIDY JOSHUA D. ROTHMAN, COMMITTEE CHAIR GEORGE C. RABLE LAWRENCE F. KOHL JOHN M. GIGGIE JENNIFER R. GREEN A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2014 ! Copyright Thomas E. Reidy 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Objects of Confidence and Choice considered the centrality of professional communities in Alabama, from 1804 to 1861. The dissertation highlighted what it meant to be a professional, as well as what professionals meant to their communities. The study examined themes of education, family, wealth patterns, slaveholding, and identities. This project defined professionals as men with professional degrees or licenses to practice: doctors, clergymen, teachers, and others. Several men who appeared here have been widely studied: William Lowndes Yancey, Josiah Nott, J. Marion Sims, James Birney, Leroy Pope Walker, Clement Comer Clay, and his son Clement Claiborne Clay. Others are less familiar today, but were leaders of their towns and cities. Names were culled from various censuses and tax records, and put into a database that included age, marital status, children, real property, personal property, and slaveholding. In total, the database included 453 names. The study also mined a rich vein of primary source material from the very articulate professional community. Objects of Confidence and Choice indicated that professionals were not a social class but a community of institution builders. In order to refine this conclusion, a more targeted investigation of professionals in a single antebellum Alabama town will be needed.

  • ABSTRACT LYON, MEGHAN RUTH. Southern Womanhood in Transition: the Writings and Reminiscences of Virginia Clay Clopton. (Under Th
    ABSTRACT LYON, MEGHAN RUTH. Southern Womanhood in Transition: The Writings and Reminiscences of Virginia Clay Clopton. (Under the direction of Dr. Susanna Lee). Historians have a love-hate relationship with Virginia Clay Clopton’s 1905 memoir, A Belle of the Fifties. Although frequently referenced for its descriptions of the antebellum South, its character sketches of Civil War heroes, and its relentless defense of the Confederacy, many historians have concluded that its exaggerations, biases, and unreliable narrator make it little more than a generic textbook for the Lost Cause. This thesis challenges that perception by comparing the memoir with the C.C. Clay Papers, an archival collection from the nineteenth century, which includes extensive correspondence, writings, and diaries by Virginia Clay and her family. A close reading of Belle in parallel with its corresponding sources exposes the “real” Virginia Clay, allowing us to distinguish her public post-war persona from her true thoughts and experiences as a white, slaveholding, Southern woman in the mid-nineteenth century. Both versions of Virginia have value for historians. Understanding the personal motivations and manipulations behind Virginia’s portrayal of herself as an idealized Southern woman in Belle reiterates the power of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in the early twentieth century and their promotion of the Lost Cause for political and social gain. The Clay Papers both validate and contradict Virginia’s memoir; annotations present on the physical documents attest to the choices she and her editor made in recounting her life for a Lost Cause audience. The archives also allow us to recover a version of Virginia that does not strictly adhere to the typical post-war conception of idealized womanhood.

First, I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Professor Patricia Hill. Your advice, guidance, and reassurances throughout all stages of this project were vital in helping me develop my initial thoughts and ideas into a project that I am proud to have produced, an admittedly hefty feat. I would like to thank my academic advisor, Professor William Johnston, who convinced me to limit my course load and devote time to both my thesis and myself, despite my inclinations to take as many challenging courses as possible. In the end, you were right, and my thesis and I are grateful. I would also like to acknowledge Professor Jennifer Tucker and Professor Ishita Mukerji, my previous academic advisors, for your support of my ever-changing academic interests. I am grateful to have had a number of professors whose courses piqued my interest in various areas of study that were ultimately combined into this thesis, including Professors Demetrius Eudell, Ronald Schatz, and Joseph Siry, among others. You gave me the tools that I needed. I am also grateful to have had an incredible array of friends who provided emotional support and academic guidance, among other things.

  • Confederate Women and Narrative Of
    ~Chapter 10 Altars of Sacrifice: Confederate Women and the Narratives of War DREW GILPIN FAUST It is the men, Hector tells Andromache in the sixth book of the Iliad, who "must see to the fighting." From ancient history to our own time, war has centered on men, for they have controlled and populated its battlefields. Even in our era of shifting gender definitions, perhaps the most assertive-and successful--de­ fense of traditional roles has been the effort to bar women from combat. Yet war has often introduced women to unaccustomed responsibilities and unprecedented, even if temporary, enhance­ ments of power. War has been a preeminently "gendering" activ­ ity, casting thought about sex differences into sharp relief as it has both underlined and realigned gender boundaries. I Like every war before and since, the American Civil War served as an occasion for both reassertion and reconsideration of gender assumptions. Early in the conflict, Louisianian Julia Le Grand observed that "we are leading the lives which women have led since Troy fell." Yet because the Civil War was fundamen­ tally different from those that had preceded it, the place of women in that conflict stimulated especially significant examina­ tion and discussion of women's approprif!te relationship to war-and thus to society in general. Often designated the first "modern" or total war because of the involvement of entire pop- 172 Drew Gilpin Faust CONFEDERATE WOMEN AND NARRATIVES OF WAR 173 ulations in its terrible work of death, the Civil War required an "Confederate woman" as a form of false consciousness obscuring extraordinary level of female participation.
