Zebley whose love and encouragement enabled me to achieve my goals. IV ACKNOWLEDGMENTS While at the University of Tennessee, I have had the great fortune to meet wonderful people that I now consider to be dear friends. All have given me encouragement during these graduate school years, and their humor and counsel have been of inestimable value. I cannot imagine enduring this rigorous process of researching and writing a dissertation without the steadfast friendship of Jonathan and Jennifer Bass, Clint and Lisa Clifft, Jenny Heyl, Dr. Vejas G. Liulevicius, Susan R. McMillan, Andrew S. Moore, and Mark and Jane Williams. During my first year at UT, I had the honor and privilege to work as a research assistant for Dr. Milton M. Klein in the Office of the University Historian. Dr. Klein taught me a great deal about researching and writing history and continues to be a mentor and an example of a dedicated teacher and historian. The folks at the Office of Admission and Records helped to make this past year of graduate school an enjoyable one. The Registrar, Mr. Alfred Crews, and my supervisor, Mrs. Tammy Murphy, were kind enough to give me a graduate assistantship which allowed me the time to write the dissertation. I would also like to thank the History department for giving me valuable opportunities to teach and work with students, first as a graduate teaching assistant and later as a teaching associate. When I started to travel the highways in search of manuscript collectionsat various libraries, the History department awarded me a Bemadotte Schmitt Research Award which greatly helped to defray my expenses. I would also like to thank the North Caroliniana Society for the award of an ArchieK. Davis Research Fellowshipwhich allowed me to mine the extensive collections at variouslibraries in North Carolina. v The staff at the University of Tennessee's Special Collections offered many ideas and much assistance when I began my research on Civil War and Reconstruction in Tennessee. Their knowledge and helpfulness made my tasks much easier and enjoyable. I would also like to thank the staffs of the SouthernHistorical Collection at the University of North Carolina, ChapelHill, the Special Collections Library at Duke University, and the North Carolina State Archives in Raleigh. All of these people were very friendly, professional, and took pleasure in sharing the richness of their collections with me. Much of my time was spent with the kind people who work in the Andrew Johnson PapersProject. Marion 0. Smith (who meticulously cataloged every ex­ Rebel who filed a pardon application), Patricia Cable, Glenna Schroeder-Lein, and Richard Zuczek were gracious enough to share their knowledge about various sources with me and took an interestin my progress. From the moment I stepped foot in the History department, Dr. Paul H. Bergeron has been an integral part of my graduate school experience at the university. He has imparted much wisdom, humor, and direction as we plotted my coursework and later, throughout the stages of the dissertation. He has always had great interest and faith in the topic and in my capabilities. Furthermore, he granted me the independence to venture out into the "wilderness" and gently redirected me when I wandered offtrack. Dr. Steven V. Ash, Dr. John Muldowny, and Dr. W. Bruce Wheeler generously devoted their time and expertise to reading this manuscript. In addition to their duties as committee members, each one offered suggestions and advice on teaching and researching which did much to influence my ownVIews. VI The greatest debt is owed to my family. My sisters Angele and Julie Ann have been supportive and always believed I could accomplish my goals. My grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Hoffpauir, took great interest in my education and offered many encouraging words and prayers. Truly, I have been blessed to have such a wonderful family. I could not have achieved any of this without the love of my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. Zebley. They were patient, understanding, and never wavered in their belief in me. Their emotional and financial support helped nie to earn my doctorate. The dedication of this dissertation to them is meant as a gesture of love and thanks for all they have done for me. Vll ABSTRACT On May 29, 1865, President Andrew Johnson issued a Proclamation of Pardon and Amnesty and outlined the manner in which the provisional government of North Carolina would be organized. While the President's proclamation of amnesty absolved the majority of Confederates for their activities against the United States, fourteen classes, such as minor Confederate officeholders, high-ranking Confederate civil and military officials, men indicted for treason and those owning more than $20,000 worth of property in 1860, had to compose a pardon petition, swear an oath of allegiance, and forward the documents to their respective state governors who sent the documents to Washington. This study is the firstto mine and analyze the 850 pardon petitions filed by men in Tennessee and Western North Carolina in order to understand the factors which motivated men of varying social, educational, and economic backgrounds to link their futures with the Confederacy. Furthermore, these pardon petitions offer an immediate commentary on the mood of defeated Southerners and their anxieties as they waited for the terms of peace from the North. An analysis of the pardon documents explores the process of Reconstruction on a state and local level and emphasizes the role state governors played in executing the President's policy. In addition, the dissertation offers a corrective to those historians who have concentrated on the wealthy andelite southerners who applied for pardon, while ignoring a substantial number of number of men who aided the Confederacy by holding office, donating goods to the Rebel army, or who required a pardon to escape a trial for treason. Vlll President Johnson pardoned the overwhelmingmajority of ex-Confederates who applied, much to the chagrin of Congress. As Southerners exercised their right to vote and hold office, many elected ex-Rebels to local, state, and national offices. Alarmedat the defiance and recalcitrance, Congress decided that the President's plan wasa failure and that a different programhad to be instituted lX PREFACE While previous historians have occupied themselves with the study of Andrew Johnson's presidency or the competing visions of Presidential and Congressional Reconstruction, the subject of pardon and amnesty after the Civil War has remained uncharted territory. The only book on the topic, Pardon and Amnesty under Lincoln and Johnson, was written by JonathanT. Dorris in 1953. In it, Dorris confined his study to the principal civil and military leaders of the Confederacy, without systematically analyzing the thousands of pardon petitions filed by those Rebels who had served the Confederacy as postmasters,tax collectors, or as privates in the army. Since a body of secondary literature on this subject does not exist, the principal source for this dissertation is theAmnesty Papers of theNational Archives. After examining 850 pardon petitions from Tennessee and WesternNorth Carolina, one canbegan to grasp the motivations that prompted many to support the effort for southern independence and the anxieties that gripped the late Rebels as they awaited the terms of reconciliation from the North. This dissertation seeks to fill the yawning gap in the historyof Reconstruction by mining hundreds of pardon applications from a cross-section of Rebels. These petitions written to the President recall the chaotic times before and after secession, the violence and inhumanity that characterized the war andrelations on the homefront, and the poverty and destructionthat paralyzed the South in the summer and fall of 1865.

  • Women Postmasters
    Women Postmasters Women served as Postmasters in the United States more than a century before they won the right to vote. Over the course of the 1800s, the number of women Postmasters increased from fewer than a dozen to more than 6,000. By the end of the twentieth century, more than half of all Postmasters were women. Although sometimes popularly called "postmistresses," their official title has always been "Postmaster." Women Postmasters in the Colonies Several women ran Post Offices under the British postal system in North America. In Salem, Massachusetts, the Post Office was reportedly kept by two women, Lydia Hill and Molly Gill.1 Hill reportedly served as Postmaster for many years before her death in 1768.2 Sarah Goddard was no stranger to postal business — her late husband, Giles Goddard, had been the Postmaster of New London, Connecticut. In 1764, Sarah joined her son William in Providence, Rhode Island, where he ran a newspaper and print shop and served as Postmaster. Shortly thereafter, William left Providence to pursue business ventures in New York and Philadelphia, leaving the Providence Post Office and print shop in the care of Sarah.3 In 1773, William Goddard moved to Baltimore, Maryland, where he started another newspaper and printing business. A few months later, he was joined by his sister Mary Katherine, “a skilled printer in her own right.”4 While William travelled, she ran the day-to-day business of the print shop, which by 1775 had become Baltimore’s Post Office, with Mary Katherine serving as Postmaster. First Women Postmasters in the United States Mary Katherine Goddard was the only known woman Postmaster when Benjamin Franklin was named the first American Postmaster General in July 1775, making her the first known woman Postmaster in the United Colonies, predecessor of the United States.

  • “Sisson's Kingdom” Loyalty Divisions in Floyd County, Virginia, 1861-1865
    “Sisson’s Kingdom” Loyalty Divisions in Floyd County, Virginia, 1861-1865 Paul Randolph Dotson, Jr. Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in History Dr. Crandall A. Shifflett, Chair Dr. James I. Robertson, Jr. Dr. Peter Wallenstein May 1, 1997 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Floyd County, Civil War, Unionism, Desertion, Appalachia “Sisson’s Kingdom” Loyalty Divisions in Floyd County, Virginia, 1861-1865 Paul Randolph Dotson, Jr. (ABSTRACT) “Sisson’s Kingdom” uses a community study paradigm to offer an interpretation of the Confederate homefront collapse of Floyd County, Virginia. The study focuses primarily on residents’ conflicting loyalty choices during the war, and attempts to explain the myriad of ways that their discord operated to remove Floyd County as a positive portion of the Confederate homefront. The study separates the “active Confederate disloyalty” of Floyd County’s Unionist inhabitants from the “passive Confederate disloyalty” of relatives or friends of local Confederate deserters. It then explores the conflicting loyalties of the county’s pro-Confederates, Unionists, and passive disloyalists, seeking to understand better the wide variety of loyalty choices available to residents as well as the consequences of their choices. To determine some of the significant factors contributing to the Floyd County community’s response to the Confederacy and Civil War, this thesis documents the various ways residents’ reactions took shape. Chapter One examines the roots of these decisions, exploring briefly Floyd County’s entrance into Virginia’s market economy during the 1850s and its residents’ conflicting choices during Virginia’s secession crisis.

  • The Other Side of the Monument: Memory, Preservation, and the Battles of Franklin and Nashville
    THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MONUMENT: MEMORY, PRESERVATION, AND THE BATTLES OF FRANKLIN AND NASHVILLE by JOE R. BAILEY B.S., Austin Peay State University, 2006 M.A., Austin Peay State University, 2008 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2015 Abstract The thriving areas of development around the cities of Franklin and Nashville in Tennessee bear little evidence of the large battles that took place there during November and December, 1864. Pointing to modern development to explain the failed preservation of those battlefields, however, radically oversimplifies how those battlefields became relatively obscure. Instead, the major factor contributing to the lack of preservation of the Franklin and Nashville battlefields was a fractured collective memory of the two events; there was no unified narrative of the battles. For an extended period after the war, there was little effort to remember the Tennessee Campaign. Local citizens and veterans of the battles simply wanted to forget the horrific battles that haunted their memories. Furthermore, the United States government was not interested in saving the battlefields at Franklin and Nashville. Federal authorities, including the War Department and Congress, had grown tired of funding battlefields as national parks and could not be convinced that the two battlefields were worthy of preservation. Moreover, Southerners and Northerners remembered Franklin and Nashville in different ways, and historians mainly stressed Eastern Theater battles, failing to assign much significance to Franklin and Nashville. Throughout the 20th century, infrastructure development encroached on the battlefields and they continued to fade from public memory.

    August 2012 Newsletter ------------------------------------ Yesterday & Today Records P.O.Box 54 Miranda NSW 2228 Phone: (02) 95311710 Email:[email protected] www.yesterdayandtoday.com.au ------------------------------------------------ Postage Australia post is essentially the world’s most expensive service. We aim to break even on postage and will use the best method to minimise costs. One good innovation is the introduction of the “POST PLUS” satchels, which replace the old red satchels and include a tracking number. Available in 3 sizes they are 500 grams ($7.50) 3kgs ($11.50) 5kgs ($14.50) P & P. The latter 2 are perfect for larger interstate packages as anything over 500 grams even is going to cost more than $11.50. We can take a cd out of a case to reduce costs. Basically 1 cd still $2. 2cds $3 and rest as they will fit. Again Australia Post have this ludicrous notion that if a package can fit through a certain slot on a card it goes as a letter whereas if it doesn’t it is classified as a “parcel” and can cost up to 5 times as much. One day I will send a letter to the Minister for Trade as their policies are distinctly prejudicial to commerce. Out here they make massive profits but offer a very poor number of services and charge top dollar for what they do provide. Still, the mail mostly always gets there. But until ssuch times as their local monopoly remains, things won’t be much different. ----------------------------------------------- For those long term customers and anyone receiving these newsletters for the first time we have several walk in sales per year, with the next being Saturday August 25th.
