  • 'Devoted to the Interests of His Race': Black Officeholders
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: “DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF HIS RACE”: BLACK OFFICEHOLDERS AND THE POLITICAL CULTURE OF FREEDOM IN WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, 1865-1877 Thanayi Michelle Jackson, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Associate Professor Leslie S. Rowland Department of History This dissertation examines black officeholding in Wilmington, North Carolina, from emancipation in 1865 through 1876, when Democrats gained control of the state government and brought Reconstruction to an end. It considers the struggle for black office holding in the city, the black men who held office, the dynamic political culture of which they were a part, and their significance in the day-to-day lives of their constituents. Once they were enfranchised, black Wilmingtonians, who constituted a majority of the city’s population, used their voting leverage to negotiate the election of black men to public office. They did so by using Republican factionalism or what the dissertation argues was an alternative partisanship. Ultimately, it was not factional divisions, but voter suppression, gerrymandering, and constitutional revisions that made local government appointive rather than elective, Democrats at the state level chipped away at the political gains black Wilmingtonians had made. “DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF HIS RACE”: BLACK OFFICEHOLDERS AND THE POLITICAL CULTURE OF FREEDOM IN WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, 1865-1877 by Thanayi Michelle Jackson Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Advisory Committee: Associate Professor Leslie S.

  • The 1898 White Supremacist Campaign and Massacre, a Brief Narrative
    Created by Janet F. Davidson, Cape Fear Museum of History and Science The 1898 White Supremacist Campaign and Massacre, a brief narrative Pin, 1898, CFM 1998.001.0031 In 1898, the state’s Democratic Party, with Furnifold M. Simmons at the helm, decided to promulgate white supremacy in the state as a way to take back control of the state government.1 After regaining statewide political power in the 1870s, the Democrats lost it in the 1890s. As historian Leon Prather put it, “In 1894 after a reign of almost twenty years, the Democrats were toppled from power by the so-called Fusion coalition of Populists (disgruntled Democrats) and Republicans.” This initial win was followed in 1896 by the election of Daniel L. Russell, a Wilmingtonian who became “the first Republican governor since the era of Reconstruction.”2 These gains challenged the social order and in response, “…North Carolina’s up-and-coming landed and business elites, engineered and led the white supremacy campaign of the 1890s.”3 North Carolina Democrats looked for a unifying issue to organize around during the 1898 election season. And they chose to rally around the idea of white supremacy. This idea took hold in 1897: “Immediately following a key meeting of the Democratic Executive committee in p. 1 Created by Janet F. Davidson, Cape Fear Museum of History and Science Raleigh on 20 November 1897, the first statewide call for white unity was issued…it called upon all whites to unite and ‘reestablish Angle Saxon rule and honest government in North Carolina.’”4 So, “For almost a

  • Kemp Plummer Battle, Class of 1849
    Battle Hall In 1912, the Board of Trustees of the University of North Carolina named this section of a three-part dormitory building to honor Kemp Plummer Battle, class of 1849. Battle was a signatory of North Carolina's ordinance of secession from the United States of America, and, as a leader in the university, opposed principles of equal citizenship and inclusive democracy. The other two sections were named for Confederate general J. Johnston Pettigrew, class of 1847, and Zebulon B. Vance, who served two terms as governor during the Civil War, and a third in the late 1870s, the time of North Carolina's so-called redemption from Reconstruction. Vance attended the university in 1851 to read law with Battle's father, Judge William H. Battle.1 Nine months after the dormitories opened, the university dedicated a Confederate monument opposite them in McCorkle Place.2 The four structures created a Confederate memorial space at the north end of campus and stood as a statement of the university's allegiance to Confederate principles: white supremacy and Black subjugation. Battle: • Enriched himself by enslaving and stealing the labor of Black men, women, and children • Established a distinguished career as a lawyer and public official • Committed treason as a signatory of North Carolina's ordinance of secession from the United States of America • Served as a university trustee from 1862 to 1868, and again from 1874 until his death in 1919 • Led the restructuring of the university in the mid 1870s and served as its president from 1876 to 1891

    A Charge Toward the Past: The 1898 Wilmington Race Riot Commission and Its Political Implications Kira Felsenfeld Candidate Toward Senior Honors in History Oberlin College Thesis Advisor: Renee Romano Oberlin College, 2019 1 Table of Contents Table of Contents 1 Acknowledgements 2 Introduction 4 Chapter 1: The Charge 13 Chapter 2: Establishing Impact 30 Chapter 3: Action & Accountability 45 Conclusion 67 Bibliography 73 ​ 2 Acknowledgements Like many who decide to attempt an honors thesis, this was my first time taking on a project of this magnitude. First and foremost, I’d like to thank Professor Romano, who first introduced me to historical redress as a field, tolerated my many drafts, and pushed me to think critically about my work. Because of her, my writing and analytical thinking have grown exponentially and I continue to be in awe with the attention (and patience) she paid to every iteration of this body of work. I am forever grateful. I am indebted to the community and guidance I received in the honors seminar. Cole, Emma, David, Kira Z., Shira, and John offered not only additional sets of eyes, but also a space for comfort amidst the stress. Most importantly, Professor Wurtzel fostered an environment for despair, joy, and humor. I will miss the snacks, memes, and thoughtful guidance on this lengthy process. When I first got to Oberlin, I did not think I was going to major in history nor do I think I could ever conceptualize my being able to write an honors thesis. On my second day of classes during my freshman year, I sat down in a seminar room in Mudd Library.

    Published on NCpedia (https://ncpedia.org) Home > Waddell, Hugh Waddell, Hugh [1] Share it now! Average: 4 (10 votes) Waddell, Hugh by Jerry C. Cashion, 1996 ca. 1734–9 Apr. 1773 An 1889 engraving of Hugh Waddell by Albert Rosenthal, taken from a miniature portrait. Image from Archive.org. [2]Hugh Waddell, colonial military and political official, merchant, and planter, was born in Lisburn, County Down, Ireland, the son of Hugh and Isabella Brown Waddell, both of Scots-Irish ancestry. His mother may have been the Isabella Waddell buried in Holywood Graveyard, County Down. Little is known about Waddell's early life, as his papers, lent to Dr. Hugh Williamson [3] for his history of North Carolina, were lost. According to tradition, he accompanied his father to Boston when the elder Waddell fled Ireland after involvement in a duel. When the father and son returned to Ireland the family fortune had been dissipated, and the father died leaving his son in poverty. However, there is evidence that the senior Waddell was for a while a successful merchant in New York. Certainly young Hugh received a credible education and perhaps some military training. Waddell's association with North Carolina began prior to 1754. Early in that year he was commissioned byM atthew Rowan [4], acting governor and president of the Council, as a lieutenant in one of the companies commanded byJ ames Innes [5] that was sent to Winchester, Va., to guard against incursions by the French and their Indian allies. These troops constructed on Wills Creek a fortification later known as Fort Cumberland.
