However things are not nearly that simple. Being Southern is more than just living here, being Southern is a different way of life. Some people are born and raised in the Southland of America.

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.

  • History of the Arlington Confederate Monument, by Hilary A. Herbert
    F 234 _p,7 H53 Copy ^ of iElp Arltngt0n (EnnM^ratr fEottum^nt BY ?i|tlary A. i^prbprt Chairman of the Exeaiti've Committee oj the Arlington Confederate Monument Association Copyright by United Daughters of the Confederacy 1914 / >CI.A390035 NOV to m v-^ t PREFACE. When one considers what it is and what it stands for, there is no object in or near Washington City better worth a visit and a careful study than the Confederate Monument in the National Cemetery at Arlington. This booklet is intended to give concisely the data from which such a study can be made, not only by those wdio are'; fortunate enough themselves to see the monument, but by those also who must rely on descriptive statements and pictures. In its origin and in itself this memorial is entirely without a parallel in history. Its story has been here carefully told, and every effort has been made in the narrative to do justice to all the organizations that have co-operated patriotically in the pro- duction of the monument. For its full significance the writer relies much on the carefully prepared address of President Taft, welcoming the U. D. C. in 1912 to the National Capital; that of Mrs. McClurg in reply; that of Mrs. Stevens, the President-General of the U. D. C, when she presented the memorial to the President of the United States in 1914, and that of President Wilson in reply. These speeches are here given in full, as are also all the addresses delivered at the laying of the corner-stone and at the unveiling of the monu- ment.

  • Almost from the Beginning of the North Carolina Historical Commission, There Appears to Have Been An
    MILITARY COLLECTION IX. CIVIL WAR COLLECTION, 1860-1965, N.D. Accessions information: Almost from the beginning of the North Carolina Historical Commission, there appears to have been an effort to collect and group together records relating to the various military conflicts in which North Carolinians have participated. Unfortunately, the provenance of many of the records so collected and grouped together has been lost or, at best, obscured. Acquisition of records relating to the Civil War is noted in each biennial report of the N.C. Historical Commission (or its successor, the State Department of Archives and History) since 1910. Some of these notices include complete description and provenance of the records acquired. Others are very vague and incomplete. The following is a resume of most of the information contained in the biennial reports from 1910 to 1934: 1910-1912 (p. 9), 8 muster rolls; 1912- 1914 (p. 10), manuscript report of sick and wounded Confederate soldiers at General Hospital No. 8, Raleigh, 1864; muster roll, Co. K, 54th Regiment, N.C.T., January 1-February 28, 1864; 1914-1916 (P. 11), 17 muster rolls, 3 muster rolls (described), 1 enlistment paper, and payrolls of 4th Regiment, N.C.S.T.; 1916- 1918 (pp. 12-13), 25 muster rolls (described) and descriptive book of Co. G, 3rd Regiment, N C.S.T.; 1918-1920 (p. 13), 1 muster roll (described); 1920-1922 (p. 15), 2,500 "pieces," 500 telegrams, 26th Regimental Quartermaster records, 26th Regimental muster rolls, and roster of Pitt County soldiers; 1924-1926 (p. 20), 112 C.S.N.
