  • ABSTRACT JEWETT, AMANDA AVERELL. Aristocratic
    ABSTRACT JEWETT, AMANDA AVERELL. Aristocratic Gentlemanliness and Revolutionary Masculinities among Virginia’s Delegation to the Continental Congress, 1774-1776. (Under the direction of Dr. Craig Thompson Friend). There was never one type of manhood practiced in Virginia during from 1774 to 1776. Instead, different masculinities blended and overlapped to reflect changes in culture and society. While elements such as public validation and an honorable reputation persevered across gender constructions, they meant different things to different men in the early years of revolution. The American Revolution unleashed democratic, military, regional, and intellectual impulses that gave impetus to forms of manhood that helped to erode aristocratic gentlemanliness. Militant, intellectual, and southern men absorbed some ideals of aristocratic gentlemanliness like honor and public virtue, while abandoning others including submission and restraint. The Revolution and meetings with other men in the Continental Congress contributed to the dismissal of these principles as Virginians responded to changes in their political and social roles on a larger stage. Ultimately, the need for public approval ties all of these Virginians together. Validation of one’s gender and class from outside observers, be it fellow Virginian planters or delegates from other colonies, is the most permanent aspect of masculinity during these years. While other types of manhood—military, Enlightenment, and southern—broke from or changed several traits of aristocratic gentlemanliness,

  • Patrick Henry and "Give Me Liberty!"
    Give Me Liberty! Advisor: Robert A. Ferguson, George Edward Woodberry Professor in Law, Literature and Criticism, Columbia University, National Humanities Center Fellow Copyright National Humanities Center, 2015 Framing Question What arguments, appeals, and rhetorical strategies did Patrick Henry use in 1775 to persuade reluctant members of the Second Virginia Convention to develop a military response to British aggression? Understanding In 1775 American independence was not a foregone conclusion. While there had been unrest and resistance in Massachusetts with scattered acts of support from other areas, no organized movement toward revolution existed across the Colonies. Virginia ranked among the largest, wealthiest, and most populous colonies in 1775, and her political and military support for independence would be crucial for success. In this speech Patrick Henry (1736–1799) uses powerful rhetoric to convince influential, affluent, landed men of Virginia with much to lose to move past their current diplomatic posture opposing British aggression to the more treasonous one of open military preparedness. Text Patrick Henry (1736–1799) Patrick Henry, speech to the Virginia Convention, March 23, 1775. Background In 1775 unrest bubbled through the American Colonies. Britain had severely restricted Massachusetts through the Intolerable Acts; towns were voting to boycott British goods, and British soldiers were becoming a common sight in the American Colonies. In this lesson you will explore a famous speech by Patrick Henry (1736–1799), member of the Second Virginia Convention. Patrick Henry is not speaking in the Virginia House of Burgesses [the state legislature] in Williamsburg because it had been dissolved the year before by Royal Governor Dunmore.

  • Patrick Henry Speaks to the Second Virginia Convention Patrick Henry 1
    Patrick Henry Speaks to the Second Virginia Convention Patrick Henry 1 OVERVIEW Patrick Henry, a member of the Virginia legislature and of the Continental Congresses, was a leading advocate of American independence. Known for his oratory, Henry gave the following famous speech in 1775, in support of arming the Virginia militia to fight the British. GUIDED READING As you read, consider the following questions: • What types of imagery does Henry use to incite his fellow colonists to take up arms? • Does Henry feel all possible nonviolent measures have been taken to address the colonists’ complaints? t is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut Iour eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and to provide for it. I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the House? Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet.

  • Briefing Document
    Scholar Exchange: The Bill of Rights Briefing Document Scholar Exchange: The Bill of Rights Briefing Document INTRODUCTION Goals ● What is the Bill of Rights, and why did the Framers think it was necessary? ● Where did the idea of a Bill of Rights emerge from? ● What rights are in the Bill of Rights? Why those rights and not others? ● What was the role of the Anti-Federalists, those who opposed the Constitution, in making the Bill of Rights? ● After the founding generation, how did the Bill of Rights change over time? Big Idea With the Bill of Rights, the Founding generation wrote some of our nation’s most cherished liberties—from free speech to religious liberty and due process—into the Constitution. As originally crafted, the Bill of Rights protected Americans from abuses by the national government. However, with the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment and later decisions by the Supreme Court, the Bill of Rights is now truly a national charter of freedom—applying to abuses by both national government and the states. We’ll discuss a few major figures in this framing debate—Alexander Hamilton, James Wilson, James Madison, and George Mason. BILL OF RIGHTS First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” ● This covers freedom of speech, religion, the press, and assembly and petition. (There are five rights in here, including both establishment of religion and the free exercise of religion) Scholar Exchange: The Bill of Rights Briefing Document Second Amendment: “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” ● Two parts of the amendment, taken from drafts and state constitutions that often-included language about standing armies, conscientious objectors, and the separation of the civil military power.

One who was born in the Shenandoah Valley, who has dwelt there during the greater portion of hislife to the present, ‘ and who is by blood three-fourths German or German—Swiss, may doubtless be excused for writing aboutthe German Ele- ment in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. He may also be excused, perhaps, for regarding such a subject as naturally attractive, and for believing that it is well worthy of careful investigation. As a matter of fact, the field has proved most /7 fruitful: so much so that the writer has been surprised at the abundance and wealth of material that may be secured for historical, economical, sociological, political, religious, linguis- tic, and even literary studies. He hastens to say, however, for the reassurance of the reader, that he has not attempted to follow out all these lines of investigation in the present treatise: what he has attempted is merely a plain, unvarnished picture of the people in their homes, in their churches, in their schools, in their fields and workshops, and in the larger re- lations of church and state as affected by peace and war.
