  • General George Doles' Georgia Brigade on July 1
    “We sleep here in obedience to law; when duty called we came, when country called we died.” General George Doles’ Georgia Brigade on July 1 Matt Atkinson July 1, 1863, 2:00 P.M.: The sporadic crack of rifles and the booming of artillery reverberated across the plain and beyond the tree line in front of the Georgians who comprised the brigade led by Brigadier General George Doles. As the soldiers sought to assuage their sore feet and dry throats, there must have been reflection on the prior two years of sanguinary conflict. So many lives lost, so many close calls for the survivors. Now here they were, after all this marching, face to face once again with their familiar foe. Maybe this battle would be the last. Maybe this battle would gain their country’s independence. Maybe after this battle, they could go home. Collectively, the four regiments comprising Doles’ brigade, the 4th, 44th, 12th, and 21st Georgia, had seen much combat prior to the Army of Northern Virginia’s march onto the fields of Gettysburg. The 4th Georgia was organized in 1861 under the command of then-Colonel Doles to defend the nascent Confederacy. From 1861 to 1863, the regiment served consecutively in the brigades of Albert G. Blanchard, Ambrose Wright, and Roswell Ripley and participated in the battles of Seven Days (Malvern Hill), Sharpsburg (Miller’s Cornfield), and Fredericksburg.1 At Gettysburg, the 4th Georgia would be under the command of Lt. Col. David R. E. Winn. Winn, a native of Americus, Georgia, began his military career as a first lieutenant in the Confederate army and rose through the ranks to lieutenant colonel by November 1862.

  • Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, May 23, 1863
    Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, May 23, 1863. 80 Long, Hot Summer of ‘63 Rebecca Lyons Our sovereign lord the King chargeth and commandeth all persons, being assembled, immediately to disperse themselves, and peaceably to depart to their habitations or to their lawful businesses, upon the pains contained in the Act made in the first year of King George, for preventing tumults and riotous assemblies. God save the King.1 So read the Riot Act of 1715. Max Heirich made it quite clear in his impressive work, The Spiral of Conflict, that whenever people interact, there is always the possibility of rising tension. And it has been so in American history. David Grimsted, in America Mobbing, 1826-1861, stated that “social violence ...is always [a] human and understandable response to social inequity or restraint... “ In fact, he goes on to state that “riots were neither rare nor commonplace in antebellum society but a piece of the on going process of democratic accommodation, compromise and unquestionable tension between groups with different interests.” Richard Maxwell Brown believed that “violence represents the attempt of established Americans to preserve their favored position in the social, economic, and political order.” And, he continues, “This seems to be the true significance of much of the urban rioting of the nineteenth century.” George Rude, in his book, The Crowd in History 1730- 1848, wrote that “The crowd may riot because it is hungry or fears to be so, because it has some deep social grievance, because it seeks an immediate reform . or because it wants to destroy an enemy or acclaim a ‘hero’; but it is seldom for any single one of these reasons alone.” Paul Gilje wrote that “riots might still occasionally be tolerated as long as they were not too violent and were on behalf of the whole community...” Riots attract criminals and petty thieves, murderers, arsonists and looters as well as those with claims and complaints.

  • 3 the Morrill Act of 1862 and Coordination Shaping the American University and the American State
    3 The Morrill Act of 1862 and Coordination Shaping the American University and the American State A variety of forces drove the emergence of the American university, the expansion of the American national state, and their shared devel- opment. While no single event was the catalyst, the origins of such development can be traced to the passage of the Morrill Act in 1862. Beyond being the most extensive and ambitious federal education pro- gram undertaken to that point in time, the Morrill Act helped spur the coordination and entrepreneurship that would be essential for the for- mation of research universities and for these universities’ evolving ser- vice both to and with the national state. The Morrill Act and the Origins of Entrepreneurship The American university’s fundamental contribution to policy and governance stemmed from institutional coordination and entrepre- neurial maximization of resources. The roots of this contribution lay in a Vermont congressman’s stubborn pursuit of agricultural legislation. A shopkeeper from Burlington, who received no formal education beyond the age of fifteen, Justin Morrill originally introduced his plan to establish agricultural colleges in 1857. The legislation passed both houses but was vetoed by President James Buchanan. Five years later, Morrill tried again. With the southern delegations having already seceded, Morrill’s legislation this time passed as the first piece of an extensive Republican development program.1 47 48 Ivory Towers and Nationalist Minds The Morrill Act provided land grants
