Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: William L. Barney W. Fitzhugh Brundage Laura Edwards Joseph T. Glatthaar Heather Andrea Williams © 2012 David Christopher Williard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT DAVID WILLIARD: “What A Fall Was There—My Country Ruined!”: Confederate Soldiers and Southern Society, 1861‐1880 (Under the direction of William L. Barney) This dissertation traces the paths that former Confederate soldiers took in attempting to reclaim control over their personal lives and reconstitute their relationship to southern society at large in the aftermath of the Civil War. Participation in the war gave men status, purpose, a sense of worth in the eyes of their families and white southern society at large, and investment in a collective endeavor. Defeat shattered Confederate soldiers’ self‐image and led soldiers to doubt the purpose of their sacrifices, to believe that hardships came unequally, and to question whether their society had any right to determine the status of men whose experiences it did not understand. At the war’s conclusion, the links of ideology and experience that had bound Confederate soldiers and civilians together stood largely broken. The consequences of this division became evident in the postwar South.

  • Jane Taylor - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Jane Taylor - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Jane Taylor(23 September 1783 – 13 April 1824) Jane Taylor, was an English poet and novelist. She wrote the words for the song Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star in 1806 at age 23, while living in Shilling Street, Lavenham, Suffolk. The poem is now known worldwide, but its authorship is generally forgotten. It was first published under the title "The Star" in Rhymes for the Nursery, a collection of poems by Taylor and her older sister Ann (later Mrs. Gilbert). The sisters, and their authorship of various works, have often been confused, in part because their early works were published together. Ann Taylor's son, Josiah Gilbert, wrote in her biography, "two little poems–'My Mother,' and 'Twinkle, twinkle, little Star,' are perhaps, more frequently quoted than any; the first, a lyric of life, was by Ann, the second, of nature, by Jane; and they illustrate this difference between the sisters." <b>Early Life</b> Born in London, Jane Taylor and her family lived at Shilling Grange in Shilling Street Lavenham Suffolk where she wrote Twinkle Twinkle little star ,her house can still be seen, then later lived in Colchester, Essex, and Ongar. The Taylor sisters were part of an extensive literary family. Their father, Isaac Taylor of Ongar, was an engraver and later a dissenting minister. Their mother, Mrs. (Anne Martin) Taylor (1757–1830) wrote seven works of moral and religious advice, two of them fictionalized. <b>Works</b> The poem, Original Poems for Infant Minds by several young persons (i.e.

  • Wayne County NY Historian
    The Project 1 Uncovering Sites Related to the Underground Railroad, Abolitionism, and African American Life in Wayne County, New York, 1820-1880 The Project Mention the Underground Railroad, and people across the country think immediately of Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. Both escaped from slavery in Maryland. Both settled in upstate New York. Frederick Douglass became a major abolitionist orator and editor and diplomat. From 1847 to 1876, he was based in Rochester, New York. Harriet Tubman, the “Moses of her people,” made thirteen trips back into slavery to rescue her family and many friends, about seventy people altogether. Beginning 1859, she brought them to Auburn, New York, where family and friends recreated much of the social network from their old Maryland neighborhood. But the Underground Railroad in New York State involved far more than these iconic figures. Thousands of people escaped from slavery through New York State, sometimes virtually alone, sometimesWayne relying on a well-organized network of African American and European American abolitionists who kept safe houses, raised money, donated clothing, arranged transportation, and provided jobs and homes for those who chose to settle locally. Almost anyone in any community in Wayne County (as in most communities in New York State) can tell you something about local sites related to the Underground Railroad. When this project first started, for example, the research team met at a restaurant in Lyons, New York. We asked our waitress if she knew anythingCounty about lo cal Underground Railroad sites. “Yes,” she said. “There is a little house in the woods just west of here that was part of the Underground Railroad.” She was right.

  • Ann Taylor Jane Taylor
    Ann Taylor (1782-1866) and Jane Taylor (1783-1824) Ann Taylor and her younger sister Jane belonged to the literary family known as the Taylors of Ongar, whose members produced or made substantial con­ tributions to almost a hundred books, many of them for children. The Taylor sisters were educated at home in astronomy, anatomy, geography, geometry, mechanics, and general history. To save money, in 1786 the family moved from London, where the girls had been born, to Lavenham, in Suffolk; they stayed there until 1796, when they moved to Colchester, where their father was to be the minister of a nonconformist congregation. Beginning in 1797 the sisters worked with their parents and later with their younger siblings at the family business-engraving book illustrations on copper plates, an occu­ pation Jane, at least, did not relish. Always precocious, Jane once presented her parents with a petition for a garden in five well-crafted stanzas. She later recalled, "I know I have sometimes lived so much in a castle, as almost to forget that I lived in a house." 1 In 1798 Ann bought a copy of the Minor's Pocket Book, jotted down solu­ tions to the enigma, charade, and other puzzles, and, using the pseudonym "Juvenilia," sent them to the Quaker publisher, William Darton. In each of the following years, Ann, Jane, and their brother Isaac sent solutions in verse, and Darton published several of Ann's compositions. In 1803 Darton accepted Jane's poem "The Beggar Boy" for publication in the 1804 issue and wrote r. Letter of 24 September 1806, quoted in Isaac Taylor, Memoirs and Poetical Remains of the Late Jane Taylor, 2 vols.
