  • Community and Politics in Antebellum New York City Irish Gang Subculture James
    The Communal Legitimacy of Collective Violence: Community and Politics in Antebellum New York City Irish Gang Subculture by James Peter Phelan A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta ©James Phelan, 2014 ii Abstract This thesis examines the influences that New York City‘s Irish-Americans had on the violence, politics, and underground subcultures of the antebellum era. During the Great Famine era of the Irish Diaspora, Irish-Americans in Five Points, New York City, formed strong community bonds, traditions, and a spirit of resistance as an amalgamation of rural Irish and urban American influences. By the middle of the nineteenth century, Irish immigrants and their descendants combined community traditions with concepts of American individualism and upward mobility to become an important part of the antebellum era‘s ―Shirtless Democracy‖ movement. The proto-gang political clubs formed during this era became so powerful that by the late 1850s, clashes with Know Nothing and Republican forces, particularly over New York‘s Police force, resulted in extreme outbursts of violence in June and July, 1857. By tracking the Five Points Irish from famine to riot, this thesis as whole illuminates how communal violence and the riots of 1857 may be understood, moralised, and even legitimised given the community and culture unique to Five Points in the antebellum era. iii Table of Contents Introduction ...................................................................................................................................

  • The Origins of American Housing Reform
    Joint Center for Housing Studies Harvard University The Origins of American Housing Reform Alexander von Hoffman W98-2 August 1998 Alexander von Hoffman is a Senior Research Fellow at the Joint Center for Housing Studies. by Alexander von Hoffman.

The Origins of American Housing Reform Alexander von Hoffman Joint Center for Housing Studies W98-2 August 1998 Abstract Although housing reform is generally associated with government programs enacted in the twentieth century, the concept of the slum--a residential environment that degraded and harmed the poor--and the basic responses to it originated one hundred and fifty years ago. In the mid-nineteenth century, changes in thinking about the formation of individual character, the importance of home life, spiritual redemption, the nature of poverty, the causes of crime and vice, and the sources of disease all converged to produce a moral environmentalist approach to the urban poor. The new concepts encouraged the idea that the physical disorder and dilapidation of the slums determined, or helped to determine, the physical and moral condition of their inhabitants. The notion that the environment influences the individual held out the possibility of creating an alternative environment that could nurture and improve the individual.

  • The Bloody Ould Sixth Ward: Crime and Society in Five Points, New York
    The Bloody Ould Sixth Ward: Crime and Society in Five Points, New York Research Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation “with Research Distinction in History” in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University By: Sarah Paxton The Ohio State University June 2012 Project Advisor: Dr. Randolph Roth, Department of History A special thank you to my advisor, Dr. Randolph Roth, for his wisdom and direction during the development of this project A huge thank you, also, to my family and friends for their constant support despite having to listen to my incessant talk of 19th century crime. 2 1 Map 1: The Sixth Ward, 1851 1 Anbinder, Tyler. (April 2002). From Famine to Five Points. The American historical Review. Vol 107, No 2. Retrieved from: www.historycooperative.org/journals/ahr/107.2/ah0202000351.html 3 In lower Manhattan, New York, Worth and Baxter Street converge on a relatively calm intersection next to a Chinatown playground. In 1830, however, this intersection consisted of four streets. Little Water, Orange, Anthony, and Cross all created a five pointed intersection, giving its neighborhood the name “Five Points.” The streets created a triangle of space within the Five Points neighborhood, which locals dubbed ‘Paradise Park.’ The park name quickly became ironic. A part of the Sixth Ward of New York City, the Five Points neighborhood became the most notorious slum in American history. According the inquests of the New York City coroner, there were eighty-two total inquests filed in the Sixth Ward between 1833 and 1835. A second sample of coroner’s inquests, those filed between 1847 and 1849, showed two hundred and sixty eight inquests filed.

  • Private Eric Tipton a BIOGRAPHY
    On The Eve of Bristoe An Immersion Event Hosted by the Southern Guard Living History Association September 24-25, 2005 4 2nd New York VOLUNTEER INFANTRY The Tammany Regiment 3rd Brigade, Webb’s 2nd Division, 2nd Army Corps, Army of the Potomac Commanding Officer: Colonel James E. Mallon - Killed at Bristoe Station - October 14, 1863. Introduction Following the great bloodletting at Gettysburg in July 1863, the two opposing armies occupied quiet camps and countless picket posts in central Virginia, neither side making any attempt to bring on further hostilities. The fighting that did occur was relegated to desultory cavalry actions. This all changed in October 1863. This fall the rolling hills of the Piedmont will lend itself as a back drop for the Southern Guard Living History Association's Fall Picket post. The event will be 36 hours of first person starting with a ration and ammo issue and continuing with a 5 mile march, all night pickets and pure Civil War soldier life. 42nd New York VOLUNTEER INFANTRY The Tammany Regiment There are countless stories about color bearers. At Fredericksburg on December 13, 1862, the 42nd New York Volunteers (nicknamed the Tammany Regiment because of the political hall where it was recruited) were leveled by a devastating volley within ten yards of that field's famous stone wall. With most of the men blown off their feet and dazed survivors running back to shelter, Color Sergeant Michael Cuddy pulled himself up on his flagstaff. Shot through with several bullets, he jerked his banner high into the air, swept it in the Southern faces, and joined the rest of his dead guard.

  • A Five Points
    Reformers versus Residents in Five Points: A Role Play In this activity you learn about the religious, class, and ethnic tensions between reformers and residents in the working-class Irish immigrant neighborhood of Five Points. You will research roles of a Protestant reformer and two Irish women debating whether the reformer should send Irish children to live with upper-class parents. Objectives • You will be able to describe different contemporary perspectives, reformer and resident, on life in Five Points during the 1850s. • You will choose evidence from different primary and secondary sources to support your interpretation of reformer and resident roles. Instructions 1. Step 1: You will be writing and performing a script of a scene between reformers and residents in the Five Points neighborhood. To gather evidence to build your characters, you will first watch a film, and then read some primary and secondary documents. You will divide into three groups and each group will have an identity: Reverend Pease, Catherine, or Mary Mulvahill. a. Please locate the worksheet "Reformers versus Residents in Five Points" and quickly gloss over the scene and cast of characters. 2. Step 2: We will view à a. Chapter 1 (Rev. Louis Pease: Reforming the Five Points), b. Chapter 2 (Mary Mulvahill: Surviving in a New Land), c. and Chapter 5 (Matthew Mulvahill: Boyhood in the Streets) of the Five Points DVD. i. As you watch, you should think about the events described from the perspective of your character in the role play. 3. Step 3: Gather in your groups to read through the various primary and secondary sources.

  • Immigrant Women in the Making of Irish America
    Southern New Hampshire University Immigrant Women in the Making of Irish America A Walking History Tour A Capstone Project Submitted to the College of Online and Continuing Education in Partial Fulfillment of the Master of Arts in History By Deborah Polatchek Bedford, New Hampshire April 2018 Copyright © 2018 by Deborah Polatchek All Rights Reserved ii Student: Deborah Polatchek I certify that this student has met the requirements for formatting the capstone project and that this project is suitable for preservation in the University Archive. April 18, 2018 __________________________________________ _______________ Southern New Hampshire University Date College of Online and Continuing Education iii Abstract As a result of the Great Hunger, nearly 1.8 people emigrated from Ireland, and the resultant diaspora changed the face of the great cities where they arrived. The Irish were the first large immigrant group to emigrate to New York, and their arrival challenged the infrastructure and permanently changed the demography of the city. As such, the Irish are integral to immigration studies and New York City history, for they set the stage for the many ethnicities that followed in their footsteps. An important element in immigration studies is the process of assimilation that groups undergo as they transition from the old land to the new. This walking history tour introduces students to the idea of acculturation through the immigrant experience of the Irish Catholic women who emigrated in the middle of the nineteenth century. Through the use of illustrated newspapers, personal correspondence, city directories and bank records students learn of the nativist hostility that the Irish faced, and the strategies that they used to survive in their hostile new world.
