    Soldiers of Long Odds: Confederate Operatives Combat the United States from Within by Stephen A. Thompson Intrepid Consulting Services, Inc. Mattoon, Illinois Illinois State Historical Society History Symposium The Civil War Part III: Copperheads, Contraband and the Rebirth of Freedom Eastern Illinois University 27 March 2014 Preface For the purposes of this forum, the featured contextual development was undertaken for the express reason of introducing the subject matter to a wider audience through a broad presentation of Confederate States of America (CSA) insurrection, subversion and sabotage activities that took place under the expansive standard “Northwest Conspiracy” during 1864 and 1865. This examination is by no means comprehensive and the context is worthy of extensive 21st century research, assessment and presentation. The movement of Captain Thomas Henry Hines, CSA, military commander of the Confederate Mission to Canada, through the contextual timeline presents the best opportunity to introduce personalities, places and activities of consequence. Since Hines led tactical operations and interacted with the public-at-large during this period, the narrative of his activity assists in revealing Civil War-era contextual significance on the national, regional, State of Illinois and local levels. Detailing the activities of Hines and his Canadian Squadron operatives in the northwest is vital to the acknowledgment of significance at all levels. Hence, the prolonged contextual development contained within this treatise. Stephen A. Thompson Mattoon, Illinois 21 January 2014 Cover Image – Captain Thomas Henry Hines, CSA. Toronto, Canada, 1864. Courtesy of Mrs. John J. Winn i Context Dire straits is the only way to describe the predicament in which the governing hierarchy of Confederate States of America found itself as the year of 1864 began.

  • Johannes Heintz
    JOHANNES HEINTZ AND HIS DESCENDANTS BY JOHN CLAGEIT PROCTOR, LL M. GREENVILLE, PENNA. 1918 Mr.• John P. Hines, of Stoneboro, Pennsyl­ vania, and his brother, Samuel Hines, of Scranton, Pennsylvania, through their :finan­ cial assistance, have made it possible to have published this geneaology, and I tender them rey everlasting gratitude. To my dear mother, Mary A. Proctor, who died January 11, 1916, I owe all the good there is in me, and I fervently dedicate this work of years to her sweet memory. -J. C. P. I I l .\.: i_~ .)=~ '.~i~ ~ -:-~· -~ ~~ ,~ PREFACE CCORDING to Rupp, in his "Thirty Thousand Names of A Immigrants in Pennsylvania," the name Heintz is derived as follows: ''Heinrich, Heinerich, Henrich, Henry, a cour­ ageous man, a spirited hero-F. Pichler; probably from the Anglo­ Saxon heutan, hren, heut, to seize, to lay hold of, to conquer, or to overcome,. as hren, heutan, sich einer Sache bemre-chitigen, and ricca, ric, rich, possessing a large portion, literally, possessing a large portion of courage, to overcome. It may be derived from the Greek enorea, manly courage; vigor-abbreviated Hein, Heintz, Hintz.'' The name first appears in American records in 1730, the first person noted being Johan Ludwig Heintz, who qualified at the Port of Philadelphia, November 30th of that year. From that date until 1775, there were upward of thirty-two individuals bearing the name Heintz, or what is meant for the same, who entered Pennsylvania, and strangely too, half of these included the Christian names John, Johan, and Johannes. It is presumed that in the majority of instances at least, they ,vere Palatines, coming from the Rhine valley, then the Palatinate, and quite probably they were all related.

    YOU Gave Children a Home BE THANY IMPACT h o use services 2017 REPORT DEAR FRIENDS OF BETHANY HOUSE— Children represent the largest segment of Bethany’s homeless population—we served over 1,450 children last year. Not surprising then, that we chose children as the theme for our 2017 Impact Report. The impact that YOU, our donors and volunteers, play in fulfilling our mission every day is inspiring. YOU Gave Children a Home each time you wrote a check, brought a meal, provided child care or delivered an item or two from our Wish List. YOU are making a difference. In 2017, we sought additional resources and formed Robert J. Inkrot Susan S. Schiller new partnerships to expand our services and meet the ever-growing needs of our families. • We have seen mental health issues like we have never seen before, which often prevent parents from maintaining employment and positive parenting. New collaborations and on-site services addressed the needs of both parents and children. • A new Permanent Supportive Housing program started in July provides assistance for families with longer-term needs. • To ensure families do not return to homelessness, our Post-Shelter Support expanded to an all-time high, with 130 families served. • Staff trained in Trauma-Informed Care brought a new level of understanding and compassion to services. • With the knowledge that most people are not aware of the thousands of children experiencing homelessness in Cincinnati, volunteers from our new Speakers Bureau took our message to the community. • Special outreach to churches communicated the urgency of our needs and the importance of their support.

Rockenbach M.A., University of Cincinnati, 2000 B.A., Indiana University Southeast, 1998 Committee Chair: Professor Christopher Phillips i Abstract “War Upon Our Border”: War and Society in Two Ohio Valley Communities, 1861-1865 By Stephen I. Rockenbach During the American Civil War, guerrilla raids, military operations, economic hardships, political turmoil, and racial tensions upset the status quo of communities situated along the Ohio River border. This dissertation compares the wartime experiences of two border towns – Frankfort, Kentucky and Corydon, Indiana. These communities shared a legacy of white settlement and a distinct western identity, which fostered unity and emphasized cooperation during the first year of the war. However, the exigencies of war and the eventual demise of slavery in Kentucky divided citizens living on either side of the river border, including the people of Corydon and Frankfort. The Ohio River border was a cohesive economic and social unit at the beginning of the war, even though the river served as the legal boundary for slavery.

  • “Between Two Fires”: War and Reunion in Middle America, 1860-1899
    “Between Two Fires”: War and Reunion in Middle America, 1860-1899 A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences 2013 By Matthew E. Stanley M.A., University of Louisville, 2007 B.A., University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, 2005 Committee Chair: Professor Christopher Phillips Abstract From its post-Revolutionary position as the First West to its current status as a political bellwether, the Ohio Valley has always been a liminal space in American history. This dissertation centers on the Civil War, Reconstruction, and sectional reconciliation in the Lower Middle West, with particular emphases on identity, memory, and race. Indeed, if the antebellum West acted as balance between North and South, then the Lower Middle West, a nominally free region dominated by conservative upland Southern political culture, represented a median with the median. The Lower Middle West—part of a vast border area stretching from southern Pennsylvania and northern Virginia along the Ohio River Valley and into Missouri and Kansas that I term ‘Middle America’—was a political and cultural middle space typified by white conservative Unionism. Wartime conservative Unionists—those whites who supported compromise measures, desired only the political restoration of the Union, and who persisted rather than embraced emancipation—are central to understanding the dissent (Copperhead) movement, the Northern white backlash against liberalizing war measures, the Northern rejection of Congressional Reconstruction, the national movement toward sectional reconciliation among whites, and the legacies of white supremacy in the Middle West (labor violence, exclusion laws, sundown towns, lynching, the second incarnation of the KKK).
