Military Collection X. Civil War Collection, 1860-1965, N.D., Indices MILITARY COLLECTION X. CIVIL WAR COLLECTION, 1860-1965, N.D., INDICES INDEX TO MILITARY UNITS The following index to military units is divided into four (4) sections: (1) North Carolina numbered regiments and battalions (Confederate); (II) North Carolina named units; (III) out-of-state units (Confederate); and (IV) Federal units. In Section 1, North Carolina numbered regiments and battalions have been arranged numerically. Under each number, battalions follow regiments. In Section II, named units are arranged alphabetically by unit name or by surname of commanding officer, as appropriate. Cross-references have been made between Sections I and II, where known. In Section III, out-of-state units are arranged by state followed by C.S.A. units. In Section IV, Federal units have been arranged numerically. In all sections, references to military units show location of materials in this collection by box number, followed by folder name or number in parentheses. Although an attempt has been made to show organizational changes and to make appropriate cross-references, the complexity of these changes has made a thorough resume impractical. Accordingly, the researcher is referred to Louis H. Manarin (comp.), A Guide to Military Organizations and Installations, North Carolina, 1861-1865 (Raleigh: The North Carolina Confederate Centennial Commission, 1961), which includes a detailed account of these organizational changes. A copy of this guide is available in the Archives. MILITARY COLLECTION X. CIVIL WAR COLLECTION, 1860-1965, N.D., INDICES Index - Section I Section I lst Regt. N.C.S.T., bounty payroll, 13 Co.

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.

  • End: Grant Sidebar>>>>>
    FINAL History of Wildwood 1860-1919 (chapter for 2018 printing) In the prior chapter, some of the key factors leading to the Civil War were discussed. Among them were the Missouri Compromise of 1820, the McIntosh Incident in 1836, the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 which led to “the Bleeding Kansas” border war, and the Dred Scott case which was finally decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1856. Two books were published during this turbulent pre-war period that reflected the conflicts that were brewing. One was a work of fiction: Uncle Tom’s Cabin or a Life Among the Lowly by Harriet Beecher Stowe published in 1852. It was an anti-slavery novel and helped fuel the abolitionist movement in the 1850s. It was widely popular with 300,000 books sold in the United States in its first year. The second book was nonfiction: Twelve Years a Slave was the memoir of Solomon Northup. Northup was a free born black man from New York state who was kidnapped in Washington, D.C. and sold into slavery. He was in bondage for 12 years until family in New York secretly received information about his location and situation and arranged for his release with the assistance of officials of the State of New York. His memoir details the slave markets, the details of sugar and cotton production and the treatment of slaves on major plantations. This memoir, published in 1853, gave factual support to the story told in Stowe’s novel. These two books reflected and enhanced the ideological conflicts that le d to the Civil War.

Employing Critical Race Theory as the theoretical framework, each counties’ analysis results are examined. The concepts of race, systemic racism, White privilege and interest-convergence are used to assess both counties continuance of sustaining a racially imbalanced historical narrative. I posit that the construction of history of Bates County and Cass County continues to influence and reinforces systemic racism in the local narrative. Keywords: critical race theory, race, racism, social construction of reality, white privilege, normality, interest-convergence iii APPROVAL PAGE The faculty listed below, appointed by the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies, have examined a dissertation titled, “Whitewashing or Amnesia: A Study of the Construction of Race in Two Midwestern Counties,” presented by Debra Kay Taylor, candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy degree, and certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance.

  • Confederate Guerrillas and the Defense of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad
    A Unique Hell in Southwestern Virginia: Confederate Guerrillas and the Defense of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad Nicholas A. Nowland Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In History Paul D. Quigley, Chair A. Roger Ekirch Daniel B. Thorp 22 August, 2016 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Civil War; Southwestern Virginia; Guerrillas; Partisan Rangers; Bushwhackers; Home Guards; Guerrilla Warfare Copyright 2016 by Nicholas A. Nowland ii A Unique Hell in Southwestern Virginia: Confederate Guerrillas and the Defense of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad Nicholas A. Nowland ABSTRACT During the United States Civil War, southwestern Virginia was mired in a bloody guerrilla conflict that involved Confederate irregular combatants defending the region from invading or raiding Union Army forces. Simmering for the entirety of the war, this conflict revolved around the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad (V&T), a critical railway that ran through southwestern Virginia and connected the southwestern Confederacy with Richmond and the rest of Virginia. As the war progressed, this railway moved increasingly large amounts of foodstuffs and minerals vital to the Confederate war effort, and by the later stages of the war it was the most important railway in the South. Union Army commanders in West Virginia recognized the incredible importance of the V&T to the Confederacy, and launched a multitude of major and minor invasions and raids into southwestern Virginia with the intent of crippling the railroad. Confederate partisan rangers, bushwhackers, and home guards played separate roles in weakening, distracting, and hampering Union Army operations in southwestern Virginia, thereby helping to defend the V&T from attacks.

  • Louisville Kentucky During the First Year of the Civil
    LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF THE CIVIL WAR BY WILLIAM G. EIDSON Nashville, Tennessee During the first eight months of 1861 the majority of Kentuckians favored neither secession from the Union nor coercion of the seceded states. It has been claimed that since the state opposed secession it was pro-Union, but such an assertion is true only in a limited sense. Having the same domestic institutions as the cotton states, Kentucky was con- cerned by the tension-filled course of events. Though the people of Kentucky had no desire to see force used on the southern states, neither did they desire to leave the Union or see it broken. Of course, there were some who openly and loudly advocated that their beloved commonwealth should join its sister states in the South. The large number of young men from the state who joined the Con- federate army attest to this. At the same time, there were many at the other extreme who maintained that Kentucky should join the northern states in forcibly preventing any state from withdrawing from the Union. Many of the moderates felt any such extreme action, which would result in open hostility between the two sections, would be especially harmful to a border state such as Kentucky. As the Daily Louisville Democrat phrased it, "No matter which party wins, we lose." 1 Thus moderates emphasized the economic advantages of a united country, sentimental attachment to the Union, and the hope of compromise. In several previous crises the country had found compromise through the leadership of great Kentuckians.

  • The Black Brigade of Cincinnati
    FREEDOM SEEKER ACTIVITY BOOK | SUMMER 2020 THE BLACK BRIGADE OF CINCINNATI WHAT WAS THE BLACK BRIGADE OF CINCINNATI? The Black Brigade of Cincinnati was a military unit of African American soldiers organized in 1862 during the Civil War when the city of Cincinnati, Ohio was in danger of being seized by Confederate forces. The Black Brigade became the first organized African American group employed for military duty in the Civil War. POWHTAN BEATY Powhtan Beaty (1837-1916) was a member of the Black Brigade of Cincinnati who went on to serve in the 27th Volunteer Black Brigade flag, exhibited at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in 2012 Infantry (reconstituted as the 5th United States Colored Troops). A TROUBLED BEGINNING He served with distinction, earning the Medal of Honor. Notably, elements of bigotry and racism were at work in the very formation of the unit. When Confederate General John Hunt Morgan laid plans to attack Cincinnati in August of 1862, the Black community of Cincinnati met to organize a home guard and offer their help to defend the city. However, their offer was rejected by city authorities —the Black residents were forbidden to hold any further meetings and were told that it was not their war to fight. But Union General Lew Wallace, the military commander responsible for Cincinnati, felt differently. He hoped to enlist Black men to help construct defense fortifications in northern Kentucky. Before Gen. Wallace formed a plan to employ these men for this project, the Mayor George Hatch ordered Cincinnati police to forcibly round up Black men in the city on September 2, 1862.

  • Emancipation! January 1, 1863, Brought Freedom to Millions of Enslaved People in America
    Emancipation! January 1, 1863, brought freedom to millions of enslaved people in America. This exhibition explores the ways these individuals learned they were free, the reactions to freedom, and the Emancipation Proclamation's legacy. Presented by The Amistad Center for Art and Culture We celebrate art and culture influenced by people of African descent through education, scholarship, and social experiences. Freedom's Eve On the twenty-eighth of January 1862 in Zion Church, Frederick Douglass reassured members of Rochester's African American community as they anxiously waited for President Lincoln to sign the Emancipation Proclamation. "My Friends: This is scarcely a day for prose. It is a day for poetry and song, a new song. These cloudless skies, this balmy air, this brilliant sunshine, (making December as pleasant as May), are in harmony with the glorious morning of liberty about to dawn upon us. Out of a full heart and with sacred emotion, I congratulate you my friends and fellow citizens, on the high and hopeful condition of the cause of human freedom and the cause of our common country, for these two causes are now one and inseparable and must stand or fall together. We stand today in the presence of a glorious prospect.—This sacred Sunday in all the likelihoods of the case, is the last which will witness the existence of legal slavery in all the Rebel slaveholding States of America." The wait for President Lincoln's approval of the Proclamation added new significance to Watch Night, a traditional New Year's Eve worship service to welcome the new year favored by Methodist ministers.
