  • The Private War of General Sherman
    FRANZONI, JANET BRENNER. The Private War of General Sherman. (1970) Directed by: Dr. Richard Bardolph. pp. §* Recognizing the growing interest in the psychological approaches to biographical studies, this thesis undertakes to examine the life of General William Tecumseh Sherman with an emphasis on its psychological components. An examination of his personal correspondence as well as a study of the recorded observations of his contemporaries provide clues which suggest tentative judgments concerning the enigmatic nature of his personality. Sherman's famous campaigns of destruction during the American Civil War have received both praise and con- demnation. Yet, no less a polarity of response is found within the man himself. His early childhood was character- ized by extreme docility and submission to the authority of his foster parents. Sherman's youth and early adulthood showed signs of sensitivity and insecurity. His early military career, beginning at West Point in 1836 and ending in California in l85l+-, was unrewarding. His repeated attempts at civilian careers after his resignation from the army were marked by failure and frustration. Sherman's re-enlistment in the United States Army following the outbreak of the Civil War marked the beginning of the career in which he would achieve his fame as an American military hero. Following an unsteady, if not personally tragic, early experience in the War, General Sherman's behavior as the Conflict drew to a close presented a dramatic record of success and a new self-confidence. Conviction, vigor, and self-assuredness replaced the insecurities of his earlier years. In the closing decades of his life, Sherman's behavior manifested a fusion of the variety of forces which had plagued his life-time search for personal equilibrium.

  • The Irony of Emancipation in the Civil War South Clark Scott Nesbit
    The Irony of Emancipation in the Civil War South Clark Scott Nesbit, Jr. Richmond, Virginia B.A., Swarthmore College, 2001 M.A., University of Virginia, 2005 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Corcoran Department of History University of Virginia December, 2013 2 © Clark Scott Nesbit, Jr., 2013 3 ABSTRACT Nearly everyone in the Civil War South had opportunity to feel the irony of emancipation. This irony arose from the wartime difference between ending slavery as a regime and freeing slaves, as individuals. This dissertation explores the ways in which white southerners sacrificed, or refused to sacrifice, their interest in the enslavement of particular southern blacks for the sake of a regime that would safeguard slavery. It argues that African Americans at times sought their own freedom even if it meant aiding the Confederate regime, and at other times sought to avoid warzones even if it meant remaining legally enslaved. It argues that the Union’s war to defeat the Confederacy was also a war waged against the Confederates’ main source of labor. Such a war meant, for most who became free in the Civil War, emancipation through displacement and integration into a new system for managing former slaves, the refugee camp/plantation/recruitment complex. For those who remained in the wake of Sherman’s marches and other U.S. raids, it meant living in a land with little food. 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my dissertation committee, Ed Ayers, Gary Gallagher, Peter Onuf, and Maurie McInnis for their patience and thoughtful critiques.

Ira D. Gruber, Professor of History S.w, HigginbotMu# Professor of History HOUSTON, TEXAS MAY 1979 ABSTRACT TWO PATHS TO COMMAND: COMMAND SYSTEMS OF THE UNION AND THE CONFEDERACY, 1861-1865 by Leonard Joseph Fullenkamp. A parallel look at the command systems of the Union and the Con¬ federacy as they evolved during the Civil War in part explains why the war was fought the way it was and why it lasted four years. Both na¬ tions began the war with national command systems which were il1- equipped to control the huge armies which eventually were formed. Ul¬ timately, after numerous costly mistakes, the North was able to achieve an effective command system which contributed to the Union victory. The South was never able to develop a command system which provided for the efficient utilization of its forces. At the beginning of the Civil War Abraham Lincoln exercised general control over the Union's armies while the details of military command remained in the hands of General-in-Chief Winfield Scott. Neither Scott nor his successor, George McClellan, were able to provide the effective leadership demanded by the President. Dissatisfied with the strategic direction of the war by his generals Lincoln assumed their duties him¬ self and for a time functioned as both the commander-in-chief and general- in-chief.

  • (April-July 1861) “I Have Desired As Sincerely As Any
    Chapter Twenty-three “I Intend to Give Blows”: The Hundred Days (April-July 1861) “I have desired as sincerely as any man – I sometimes think more than any other man – that our present difficulties might be settled without the shedding of blood,” Lincoln remarked to a group of ersatz soldiers in late April. The “last hope of peace may not have passed away. But if I have to choose between the maintenance of the union of these states, and of the liberties of this nation, on the one hand, and the shedding of fraternal blood on the other, you need not be at a loss which course I shall take.”1 Little did he and most of his contemporaries realize how much fraternal blood would flow in order to save that Union and preserve those liberties; 620,000 soldiers and sailors (360,000 Union, 260,000 Confederate), including some of Lincoln’s closest friends, would die over the next four years. The total equaled the number of deaths in all other American wars combined, from the Revolution through the Korean War. One of those who failed to realize how bloody the war would become was Edwin M. Stanton, who on April 8 told John A. Dix: “I do not think peaceful relations will 1 This is a conflation of two versions of these remarks, one from the Perryville correspondence, 28 April, New York World, 29 April 1861, and the other from the New York Tribune, 1 May 1861, reproduced in Roy P.

SHAWPROOFS_9.30.20 9/30/2020 11:50 AM IMPEACHABLE SPEECH Katherine Shaw* ABSTRACT Rhetoric is both an important source of presidential power and a key tool of presidential governance. For at least a century, the bully pulpit has amplified presidential power and authority, with significant consequences for the separation of powers and the constitutional order more broadly. Although the power of presidential rhetoric is a familiar feature of the contemporary legal and political landscape, far less understood are the constraints upon presidential rhetoric that exist within our system. Impeachment, of course, is one of the most important constitutional constraints on the president. And so, in the wake of the fourth major presidential impeachment effort in our history, it is worth pausing to examine the relationship between presidential rhetoric and Congress’s power of impeachment. Although presidential rhetoric was largely sidelined in the 2019–2020 impeachment of President Donald Trump, presidential speech actually played a significant role in every other major presidential impeachment effort in our history.

  • Lorenzo Thomas Dow Yoder
    Lorenzo Thomas Dow Yoder Elcy D. Brooks, compiler 1847 - 19262011 THE OLEY VALLEY YODERS OF PENNSYLVANIA Including a Biography of Lorenzo Thomas Yoder 1847 - 1926 The Yoder families of Pennsylvania are of Swiss origin, many of whom were residents of Steffisburg, Switzerland and surrounding areas. There were, and are, others of the Yoder name in Switzerland but they are not related to this particular family branch. The Yoders who established themselves in America represented three separate but closely related groups - Reformed, Mennonite and Amish. Many were known as AAnabaptists@ because they did not agree with the Swiss church=s insistence on infant baptism, and so were fined and castigated for this. Thus, they felt they must immigrate to other countries and places to escape religious persecution. The name appears in a variety of spellings - AJotter@ being the preferred spelling in Switzerland and AYoder@ in America. (It also can appear as AJotter@, AYotter@, AJetter@, AYouther@ etc.) All Pennsylvania Yoders can claim a relationship to each other, regardless of whether Reformed, Mennonite or Amish. It is a very large family and numerous offshoots are to be found in Central New York, the Carolinas, the Appalachians and the Midwest. The Oley Valley Yoders established themselves in Pennsylvania under the Willliam Penn Act before the territory officially became a state. The original immigrant to Pennsylvania was Jost or Yost Yoder who settled on the Nanatawny Creek, near where Pleasantville is now situated, in the Oley Valley of Oley Township, in the Reading area of Berks County, Pennsylvania. He was one of three brothers who left Switzerland.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding o f the dissertation.
