  • Party Leaders in the United States Congress, 1789-2019
    Party Leaders in the United States Congress, 1789-2019 Valerie Heitshusen Specialist on Congress and the Legislative Process Updated September 4, 2019 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RL30567 Party Leaders in the United States Congress, 1789-2019 Summary This report briefly describes current responsibilities and selection mechanisms for 15 House and Senate party leadership posts and provides tables with historical data, including service dates, party affiliation, and other information for each. Tables have been updated as of the report’s issuance date to reflect leadership changes. Although party divisions appeared almost from the First Congress, the formally structured party leadership organizations now taken for granted are a relatively modern development. Constitutionally specified leaders, namely the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate, can be identified since the First Congress. Other leadership posts, however, were not formally recognized until about the middle of the 19th century, and some are 20th-century creations. In the earliest Congresses, those House Members who took some role in leading their parties were often designated by the President as his spokesperson in the chamber. By the early 1800s, an informal system developed when the Speaker began naming his lieutenant to chair one of the most influential House committees. Eventually, other Members wielded significant influence via other committee posts (e.g., the post-1880 Committee on Rules). By the end of the 19th century, the formal position of floor leaders had been established in the House. The Senate was slower than the House to develop formal party leadership positions, and there are similar problems in identifying individual early leaders.

  • 'Deprived of Their Liberty'
    'DEPRIVED OF THEIR LIBERTY': ENEMY PRISONERS AND THE CULTURE OF WAR IN REVOLUTIONARY AMERICA, 1775-1783 by Trenton Cole Jones A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland June, 2014 © 2014 Trenton Cole Jones All Rights Reserved Abstract Deprived of Their Liberty explores Americans' changing conceptions of legitimate wartime violence by analyzing how the revolutionaries treated their captured enemies, and by asking what their treatment can tell us about the American Revolution more broadly. I suggest that at the commencement of conflict, the revolutionary leadership sought to contain the violence of war according to the prevailing customs of warfare in Europe. These rules of war—or to phrase it differently, the cultural norms of war— emphasized restricting the violence of war to the battlefield and treating enemy prisoners humanely. Only six years later, however, captured British soldiers and seamen, as well as civilian loyalists, languished on board noisome prison ships in Massachusetts and New York, in the lead mines of Connecticut, the jails of Pennsylvania, and the camps of Virginia and Maryland, where they were deprived of their liberty and often their lives by the very government purporting to defend those inalienable rights. My dissertation explores this curious, and heretofore largely unrecognized, transformation in the revolutionaries' conduct of war by looking at the experience of captivity in American hands. Throughout the dissertation, I suggest three principal factors to account for the escalation of violence during the war. From the onset of hostilities, the revolutionaries encountered an obstinate enemy that denied them the status of legitimate combatants, labeling them as rebels and traitors.

  • Depauw Today
    Scholarship recipient Nadine Farid ’95 lauds the generosity and continuing impact of scholarship donor Robert V. Copeland ’37 by Nadine Farid ’95 Climenko/Thayer Lecturer on Law Harvard University Law School DePauw graduates of generations past are renowned for their generos- ity. However, not all DePauw alumni have had the opportunity to not only benefi t from an alum’s thoughtful gift to the school but also make the close acquaintance of that alumnus or alumna. Those of us who were fortunate enough to receive the Copeland Scholarship to DePauw, established by Robert V. “Bob” Copeland ’37, had that rare opportunity. Mr. Copeland, who passed away on Aug. 12, 2004, came to DePauw in the footsteps of his two older brothers. He was, by all accounts, the quintessential DePauw student – intelligent, friendly, heavily involved in student life and dedicated to DePauw sports, playing basketball and football, and lettering twice. His fondness for the school and his experi- ence there is evident in his early career as an educator as well as in his exemplary generosity to the school. An Indiana boy who attended the former Valley Mills High (now part of Decatur Central High School) near where he was raised in India- napolis, Mr. Copeland moved to my hometown, Lebanon, Ind., prior to his retirement from Eli Lilly and Company in the 1970s. He and his wife, Josephine, lost their son Ronald in childhood. The Copeland Scholar- ship, now in the names of Robert and Josephine S. Copeland in memory of their son, was established to provide recipients with the opportunity Josephine and Robert V.

Driven by the rivalry between modern warfare and militia tradition, the role as well as the ideology of the militia institution fitfully progressed beyond its seventeenth century origins. Ohio’s militia, the third largest in the country at the time, strove to modernize while preserving its relevance. Like many states in the early republic, Ohio’s militia started out as a sporadic group of reluctant citizens with little military competency. The War of the Rebellion exposed the serious flaws in the militia system, but also demonstrated why armed citizen-soldiers were necessary to the defense of the state. After the war ended, the militia struggled, but developed into a capable military organization through state-imposed reform.
