In most Reconstruction literature, the question of black American freedom and citizenship was the central issue of Reconstruction, but not to the Republicans. The question of black American freedom and citizenship was the most salient issue to them, but they set that issue within a larger problem: the political regime of the antebellum slave South had deviated from the plan of the American Founders long before secession in 1860-1861.

Mr. and Mrs. Philip Leppla of this place celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary at their pleasant home here last Sunday. Owing to the recent death of their youngest daughter, Mrs. Carl L.

  • The Development of the Montana Common School System, 1864-1884
    The development of the Montana common school system, 1864-1884 by Dale Raymond Tash A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF EDUCATION Montana State University © Copyright by Dale Raymond Tash (1968) Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the development of the Montana common school system during the formative period, 1864-1884, in order to better understand the problems facing the Montana schools today. In investigating the territorial period of Montana schools the problem resolved itself into answering the following questions: (1) What affect did politics have on the establishment of the early Montana schools? (2) Did Montana's first school law, passed in 1865, fail to provide a foundation for the development of the territorial common school system? (3) What steps led to the passage of the 1872 school law and what were the provisions of the law? (U) How did the 1872 school law work in operation? (5>) What factors influenced instruction in the territorial classrooms? (6) What were some of the factors influencing educational development in frontier Montana? Diaries, journals, personal papers, newspapers, House and Senate Journals, Session Laws, reports of national and territorial educational officers and United States government documents were analyzed to discover the answers to the preceding questions® The study was limited by available time and sources to an examination of the public common schools offering courses in grades one to eight between 1864, when the Organic Act was passed which made Montana a territory, and 1884, when a statehood convention was held® In investigating the development of the school system during the period 186U-188U the following conclusions were reached; 1.
