    JUMPING SHIP: THE DECLINE OF BLACK REPUBLICANISM IN THE ERA OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT, 1901—1908 A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Mark T. Tomecko August, 2012 JUMPING SHIP: THE DECLINE OF BLACK REPUBLICANISM IN THE ERA OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT, 1901—1908 Mark T. Tomecko Thesis Approved: Accepted: _______________________________ ______________________________ Advisor Dean of the College Dr. Tracey Jean Boisseau Dr. Chand Midha _______________________________ ______________________________ Department Chair Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Martin Wainwright Dr. George Newkome ______________________________ Date ii ABSTRACT Most analysts of black voting patterns in the United States have assumed that the first substantive abandonment of the Republican party by black voters occurred in the 1930s, when the majority of black voters embraced Franklin Roosevelt‘s New Deal. A closer examination, however, of another Roosevelt presidency – that of Theodore Roosevelt (1901-1909) – demonstrates the degree to which black voters were already growing disenchanted with the Republicans in the face of what they viewed as uneven support and contradictory messages from the highest ranking Republican in the land. Though the perception of Theodore Roosevelt‘s relationship to black Americans has been dominated by his historic invitation of Booker T. Washington to dine with him at the White House in 1901, in fact even this event had assorted and complex meanings for Roosevelt‘s relationship to the black community. More importantly, his dismissal of black troops following a controversial shooting in southern Texas in 1906 – an event known as the Brownsville affair – set off a firestorm of bitter protest from the black press, black intellectuals, and black voters.

  • Medical Aspects of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, October 1901—January 1904
    511 MEDICAL ASPECTS OF THE SWEDISH ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION, OCTOBER 1901—JANUARY 1904. BY ERIK EKELOF, Medical Member of the Expedition. THE object of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition was to conduct researches relating to the geography and natural history of the Antarctic regions south of Cape Horn. The expedition was to start from Sweden during the autumn of 1901. On the approach of the Antarctic winter, in February or March 1902, some of the party were to be landed in a suitable place in the Antarctic regions, with the object of wintering there. The members remaining on board the ship "Antarctic," were to carry on investigations in the regions around Cape Horn, the Falkland Islands and South Georgia. The next summer, i.e. in December 1902 or January 1903, the ship was to return in order to pick up the wintering party at their station; and, thus reunited, the whole expedition was to go back to Sweden, where, as we had calculated, we should arrive in the spring of 1903. According to this plan the equipment of the winter party was of the greatest importance, as it was expected that this party would be quite isolated for one, perhaps several years, without a chance during this time of renewing their stores. On the other hand the portion of the expedition remaining on shipboard was during the greater part of this time to cruise in regions where new supplies of provisions and other necessary articles could easily be procured. The issue of the expedition was, however, quite contrary to what had been calculated, and in order to give a clear picture of the condi- tions under which the different parties of the expedition were afterwards reduced to live, it is necessary to give a short account of the expedition.

  • Boers (Bitter-Enders) Who Continued to Fight On
    Boers (bitter-enders) who continued to fight on. They were finding it harder to get food, ammunition and clothing. It had reached a stage where the Boer commandos were taking the uniforms from captured British soldiers and wearing them, minus their insignia and military trappings. The last stages of the conflict became a war of attrition which the Boers could not hope to win'. Several of the Boer prisoners captured in 1900 were men of some influence. Even though they had taken part in the fighting, some of them knew that the war could not be won. With the encouragement of Gen. Kitchener, they formed themselves into The abortive peace conference at Middelburg in Transvaal on 28 February, 1901. the Burghers Peace Committee and (Front row, left to right) de Wet, Botha, Lord Kitchener, and Major-General Sir discussed ways of ending the war.

  • Presentations
    Presentations Race, nation, and Empire Australian attitudes to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, 1902–23 Steven Bullard Introduction The story of Australia’s attitude to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance from 1902 to 1923 is one filled with uncertainty and contradiction. On the one hand, the alliance provided a guarantee of security for the new nation, as demonstrated, for instance, in the actions of the Japanese Navy as an alliance partner during the First World War. But for much of the period in question, many in the Australian government, the military, and the broader public considered their alliance partner to be the main threat to the future peace and freedom of the country. Compounding the uncertainty many in Australia felt with regard to Japanese intentions was the unflinching efforts of the Government to ensure the dominance of the British race in this far-flung corner of the Empire. This was nowhere more evident than in Australia’s restrictive immigration practices – the so-called White Australia policy. For this reason, this paper examines the history of Australia’s attitudes to the Anglo- Japanese Alliance through the lens of the interconnected issues of race, nation and empire. On 1 January 1901, the separate colonies of New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, and Western Australia federated to form the Commonwealth of Australia. Assisted immigration policies that favoured the “mother country” over much of the previous century meant that the majority of Australians in 1901 had familial ties to the British Isles. An historian writing in the pre-World War II era noted that while Australians might have described themselves as ‘independent Australian Britons … among the Australians pride of race counted for more than love of country’.1 Even with these imperial attachments to the mother country, Australians had realised by the turn of the Twentieth Century that they had a set of vital interests different to Britain.

The symposium was arranged by the Suntory and Toyota International Centres for Economics and Related Disciplines in association with the Japan Society, London. The period of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance covered three treaties of alliance. The first treaty was signed on 30 January 1902 and was intended to last for five years. But the Russo-Japanese War intervened; and the second treaty, a radically different treaty, was signed on 12 August 1905, before the treaty of peace between Japan and Russia was concluded. The alliance was revised again in the light of changing world circumstances. The third treaty was signed on 13 July 1911 and lasted until 17 August 1923 when it was formally replaced. It was the intention of the present symposium to reexamine the first decade of the alliance. The allliance which spanned the Russo-Japanese War and the First World War and covered the first quarter of the twentieth century has been in need of reassessment for some time.
