  • NAT TURNER's REVOLT: REBELLION and RESPONSE in SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA by PATRICK H. BREEN (Under the Direction of Emory
    NAT TURNER’S REVOLT: REBELLION AND RESPONSE IN SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA by PATRICK H. BREEN (Under the Direction of Emory M. Thomas) ABSTRACT In 1831, Nat Turner led a revolt in Southampton County, Virginia. The revolt itself lasted little more than a day before it was suppressed by whites from the area. Many people died during the revolt, including the largest number of white casualties in any single slave revolt in the history of the United States. After the revolt was suppressed, Nat Turner himself remained at-large for more than two months. When he was captured, Nat Turner was interviewed by whites and this confession was eventually published by a local lawyer, Thomas R. Gray. Because of the number of whites killed and the remarkable nature of the Confessions, the revolt has remained the most prominent revolt in American history. Despite the prominence of the revolt, no full length critical history of the revolt has been written since 1937. This dissertation presents a new history of the revolt, paying careful attention to the dynamic of the revolt itself and what the revolt suggests about authority and power in Southampton County. The revolt was a challenge to the power of the slaveholders, but the crisis that ensued revealed many other deep divisions within Southampton’s society. Rebels who challenged white authority did not win universal support from the local slaves, suggesting that disagreements within the black community existed about how they should respond to the oppression of slavery. At the same time, the crisis following the rebellion revealed divisions within white society.

I very much appreciate Terry Meyers’ infectious enthusiasm and good humor, and his letting himself be distracted enough from A.S. to care so much about William and Mary’s history. I thank Bob Bloom, Kermit Dance, Carl Dolmetsch, Jack Edwards, and Terry Meyers for reading one or another draft of this manuscript (there have been many) and generously providing valuable comments and corrections, and Jayne Barnard and Trudier Harris for help with specific questions.

VIRGINIA CELEBRATES THE YORKTOWN CENTENNIAL OF 1881 Julie Anne Sweet-McGinty Thesis for Master of Arts Degree University of Richmond, 1997 Dr. Robert C. Kenzer, Thesis Director This study chronicles the planning, execution, and aftermath of the Yorktown Centennial of October 1881 in Yorktown, Richmond, and Norfolk. Beyond its original expectation of memorializing the one hundredth anniversary of the last major battle for independence, as the first nationally prominent celebration to occur on Southern soil after the Civil War, it made reconciliation among the states a significant aspect of the occasion. Also, it marked the first national gathering after the assassination of President James A. Garfield as well as the occasion for the first public speech given by the new President, Chester A. Arthur. The presence of numerous foreign dignitaries added an element of international relations and helped to strengthen European ties. I certify that I have read this thesis and find that, in scope and quality, it satisfies the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts.

  • Come Sweet Music: Partsongs Ofthe Colonial Period
    MUSIC IN COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG by Bethany Donahue A Thesis Presented to the Faculty ofthe Department ofMusic ofChristopher Newport University In partial fulfillment ofthe Requirements for the Degree Bachelor ofMusic in Music History and Literature April, 2005 Approved by Phillip F. amilton, Ph.D., Reader Ja Mbi=:;,~~ Abstract This thesis examines musical activities in and around eighteenth-century Williamsburg, Virginia. The study sheds light on musical trends in colonial America, especially in Southern cities, where scholarship and research has not matched that of Northern areas. In addition, a discussion of musical life in colonial Williamsburg illuminates broader cultural and social aspects in order to paint a more complete picture ofdaily life in that era. Research has been conducted using both primary and secondary sources, as well as oral interviews and archaeological reports. Primary sources include period diaries and excerpts from the Williamsburg newspaper, the Virginia Gazette. Extensive quotation of primary source material serves to illustrate the breadth of musical activity and the way in which it affected daily life, as well as place music in a broader and more accurate social and cultural context. The use of secondary sources reflects previous scholarly research and a look at the position ofWilliamsburg with respect to colonial America as a whole. Available primary and secondary sources have revealed that music was a profoundly important aspect ofculture and society in eighteenth-century Williamsburg, especially in home music-making and in education. Music deeply affected religious life and was key to dancing. In addition, music was present in the theatre and in public and private performances, and music's pervasiveness is evidenced in the extend to which music was present in the material culture of the era.

This bibliography of the writings of Earl Gregg Swem, has been compiled and published by the College of William and Mary in Virginia in honor of his 90th birthday and in recognition of his scholarly contributions. Although its function is not merely pedagogical, this bibliography, it is hoped, will serve as a model to librarians, historians, educators and students of American culture who are concerned with the ways and means of encouraging scholarship. From the writings of Earl Gregg Swem we may come to appre- ciate the role of the bibliographer and his brothers of the spade whose labors and devotion are necessary prerequisites for the full and meaningful interpretation of the past. Earl Gregg Swem was born in Belle Plain, Iowa, on December 29, 1870. At the age of seventeen, during a vacation from high school, he was, in his own words, "a general office boy and library factotum" in the Iowa Masonic Library, at Cedar Rapids.

  • Slavery at William & Mary
    I. A. https://www.wm.edu/sites/enslavedmemorial/slavery-at-wm/index.php Slavery at William & Mary A Brief Overview "Slaves were as inseparable a part of the College as the old bricks of the College Building itself."1 Jennifer Oast Ph.D. '09 From its beginning, the success or failure of William & Mary relied on the labor of black people who worked tobacco fields in Virginia and Maryland. King William and Queen Mary specified in the charter that the institution was to be funded with, the said revenue of a penny per pound, for every pound of tobacco aforesaid, with all its profits, advantages, and emoluments, to apply and lay out the same, for building and adorning the edifices and other necessaries for the said college,2 Enslaved blacks came to William & Mary through several channels. Some were purchased outright to serve the president and professors, some were given to the College, and still others belonged to members of the faculty, administration and to students. Several worked on the main campus, while others lived and worked on Nottoway Quarter, the college-owned tobacco plantation. Historian Craig Steven Wilder asserts that during the colonial period, "a small army of slaves maintained the College of William and Mary."3 Unfortunately, missing records make it difficult to determine the exact size of this army, but research offers an idea about some of the people who labored at the school before the Revolution. Some of the individuals in this "army" entered the community one at a time. For example, in 1708, Francis Nicholson, the Governor
