NISBET THE SOCIAL IMPACT OF THE REVOLUTION Delivered in Gaston Hall, Georgetown University, Washington, D.C. on December 13, 1973 American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research Washington, D.C. © 1974 by American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, Washington, D.C. ISBN 0-8447-1303-1 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number L.C. 74-77313 Printed in the United States of America as there in fact an American Revolution at the end of the eighteenth century? I mean a revolu tion involving sudden, decisive, and irreversible changes in social institutions, groups, and traditions, in addition to the war of libera tion from England that we are more likely to celebrate. Clearly, this is a question that generates much controversy. There are scholars whose answer to the question is strongly nega tive, and others whose affirmativeanswer is equally strong. Indeed, ever since Edmund Burke's time there have been students to de clare that revolution in any precise sense of the word did not take place-that in substance the American Revolution was no more than a group of Englishmen fighting on distant shores for tradi tionally English political rights against a government that had sought to exploit and tyrannize. -

CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy. -

Marion Butler's Letter
Senator Marion Butler’s Position on the Proposed Constitutional Amendment and the Simmons-Goebel Election Law WASHINGTON, D.C. Jan. 1, 1900 Hon. George Wilcox, Carbonton,. N.C.: My Dear Sir: Yours in regard to the election law and the proposed Constitutional Amendment, received. With reference to the proposed amendment, permit me to say that I have seen so much of the evils of the so-called race issue being injected into politics that I did not hastily take a position on it. This so-called race issue has been used by the democratic politicians of the Hansom-Simmons Machine type as the most effective barrier to the advancement of the principles of the People’s Party, and in fact, to prevent any independent thought or action along any line. We all know that if the dishonest politicians, who have trifled with the interests of the people so long, could be prevented from raising the bogus race issue, behind which they hid themselves and their records when necessity requires it, that we could successfully expose them and at the same time untie the people to vote for their interests. We also know that the man who conducted the redshirt campaign of prejudice, abuse, lawlessness and violence, and apart of whom composed the last legislature, do not desire to remove the race scarecrow from campaigns. To do so would be as foolish from their standpoint as it would be for a man up a tree to deliberately saw off the limb on which he sat, and to saw it off between himself and the tree. -

The fifty-nine year old document which underwent modification had been the product of the Revolutionary outpouring of 1776. Like the constitutions of other American states the North Carolina constitution had embodied the Whig idea of "balanced" govern ment.1 Richard Caswell, James Iredell, Samuel Johnston, and Willie Jones, representing all shades of Patriot opinion, had had a hand in shaping it. In the best Whig tradition, property was weighed in a Polybian fashion in the two houses of the General Assembly. Franchised freeholders were required to possess sLable residence and adequate property as an assurance of the voter's character and attachment to the corn.munity. -

Good Old Days? Discovery Tour
e Good Old Days? Discovery Tour Resource Manual A compendium of classroom activities and resource materials to help you prepare for your Discovery Tour Who Was Here in 1860? On the eve of the American Civil War, North Carolina was a rural state with a total population of 992,622. Most citizens had been born in North Carolina and farmed for a living. Less than 1 percent of the state’s population in 1860 was foreign born, and about 70 percent of white families owned no slaves. Nevertheless, African Americans composed approximately one-third of the total population, and the majority were slaves. Few urban commercial centers existed, and Wilmington, the largest town, had fewer than 10,000 citizens. Yeoman Famers The majority of North Carolinians in 1860 were white subsistence farmers who worked small farms, 50 to 100 acres, and owned fewer than 20 slaves. They were more concerned with rainfall, crops, and seasonal changes for planting and harvesting than with national politics. They produced most of what they consumed and relied on the sale of surplus crops for money to buy what they could not grow or make by hand on their farms. These men would constitute the bulk of North Carolina’s army in the coming war. Planters Individuals who owned 20 or more slaves were considered planters. Most North Carolina planters lived in the Coastal Plain and Piedmont regions of the state, where conditions favored large-scale farming. Although they made up a minority, these individuals exercised political influence far greater than their actual number when compared to families with few or no slaves. -
University Microfilms
INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding o f the dissertation.
