Governing New Jersey: Reflections on the Publication of a Revised and Expanded Edition of 'The Governors of New Jersey' Abstract New Jersey’s chief executive enjoys more authority than any but a handful of governors in the United States. Historically speaking, however, New Jersey’s governors exercised less influence than met the eye. In the colonial period few proprietary or royal governors were able to make policy in the face of combative assemblies. The Revolutionary generation’s hostility to executive power contributed to a weak governor system that carried over into the 19th and 20th centuries, until the Constitution was thoroughly revised in 1947. -

Freedom and Unfreedom in the “Garden of America:”
FREEDOM AND UNFREEDOM IN THE “GARDEN OF AMERICA:” SLAVERY AND ABOLITION IN NEW JERSEY, 1770-1857 by James J. Gigantino II (Under the Direction of Allan Kulikoff) ABSTRACT This dissertation examines abolition in New Jersey between 1770 and 1857. It argues that the American Revolution did not lead white New Jerseyans to abolish slavery. Instead, the Revolutionary War and the years following it reinforced the institution of slavery in the Garden State. This dissertation first focuses on the factors that led New Jersey to pass the Gradual Abolition Act of 1804, specifically the rise of Jeffersonian Republicanism and the influence of Quaker abolition activists and then examines the elongated abolition period which followed the enactment of gradual abolition, beginning with the role of the children born under the law, those who I call slaves for a term. The role these children played in early national America challenges our understandings of slavery and freedom. Instead of a quick abolition process, slaves and slaves for a term in New Jersey continued to serve their masters in significant numbers until the 1840s and then in smaller proportions until the eve of the Civil War. The existence of slavery in a free state challenges our understanding of the rise of capitalism in the early republic as well as the role the North played in debates over nationwide slavery issues beginning in the 1820s. This long-standing relationship to slavery helped prevent the formation of a strong abolitionist base in the 1830s and influenced Northern images of African Americans until the Civil War. Abolition in the North became very much a process, one of fits and starts which stretched from the Revolution to the Civil War and defined how Americans, white and black, understood their place in the new republic. -

Fisher 1 The Votes of the “Privileged Fair”: Women’s Suffrage in New Jersey, 1776-1807 Louis Fisher Senior Thesis April 2011 Advisor: Professor Emma Winter Second Reader: Professor Evan Haefeli Word Count: 15,608 (20,558 including footnotes) Fisher 2 Acknowledgments The completion of this project represents the capstone of my undergraduate studies, and there are many people who deserve thanks for their contributions and advice. I would first like to thank all of the excellent professors with whom I have had the privilege to study at Columbia. These teachers introduced me to many exciting ideas, challenged me in my development as a student of history, and repeatedly demonstrated why the study of history remains an important intellectual pursuit. I am especially indebted to Professor Emma Winter for her advice and encouragement in seminar, and for reading numerous drafts, followed by helpful and discerning comments each time. Professor Evan Haefeli also provided vital criticisms, which improved both the outcome of this project and my understanding of historical writing. I am also grateful to Mike Neuss for his support and interest in discussing this thesis with me in its earliest stages. My friends and fellow thesis writers also deserve recognition for offering to read drafts and for taking an interest in discussing and challenging my ideas as this project took shape—my friends and colleagues at Columbia have undoubtedly contributed in many ways to my intellectual development over the past four years. Finally, I would like to thank both of my parents and my family for their love and support, and for providing me with the opportunity to pursue all of my academic goals. -

And that’s all that really matters, isn’t it? As I reflect on the past year, a highlight was my class’s 45th reunion. In 2018, scores of FHHS alumni attended reunions and likewise took that proverbial “cup o’ kindness yet, for auld lang syne.” I hope your year was also filled with happy memories and wish you all the best in 2019.

ROCKEFELLER Edited by DONALD A. SINCLAIR New Brunswick, N.J. ARCHIBALD STEVENS ALEXANDER LIBRARY RUTGERS UNIVERSITY / 1980 Printed in Letterpress by JKG PRINTING, INC. Edison, N. J. 1980 Introduction SHAW AND SHOEMAKER'S American Bibliography, 18oi-i8ig,* is a list of pub- lications printed in the continental United States during those years. As Professor Shaw states in the preface of the first volume, the work was intended to make the first step toward filling a gap in American bibliography. The authors make no claim to a definitive work but label it A Preliminary Check- list. The purpose of the present list is to enlarge, as far as I am able, the number of recorded publications printed or published in the state of New Jersey in that period. Nearly all the entries in this list are products of New Jersey presses, with a few printed elsewhere. Some which do not contain the name of the printer, place of printing, or publication., are included tentatively, since it seems logical to assume they were printed or published here. There are certain differences in the method of listing which have seemed desirable. The Shaw-Shoemaker bibliography, involving nearly 52,000 entries, was prepared entirely from secondary sources, which is the only way it could have been completed within the lifetime of the authors. -

The Battle of Fallen Timbers and the Treaty of Fort Greeneville
A Thesis Entitled The Battle of Fallen Timbers and the Treaty of Fort Greeneville: Why Did Anthony Wayne Win Both and Could He Have Lost? By Bryce Dixon Blair Jr. Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for The Master of Liberal Studies ____________________ Advisor: Dr. Alfred Cave ____________________ Committee Member: Dr. Michael Jakobson ____________________ Graduate School The University of Toledo May 2005 Acknowledgements This thesis project would have forever remained an uncompleted enigma without crucial support and assistance from several people. My first and most heartfelt thanks go to my wife, Cherie. She worked even harder as almost a single parent during the long hours of reading, research, and writing that quite often kept me away from the family. She left me alone when I needed privacy and solitude and she prodded me to varying degrees when I needed greater focus and motivation. She has also been my invaluable technical advisor for the art of computer science. Though they are too young to appreciate this now, I thank my two young children, Bryce and Eryn, for accepting an absent Dad at times. They provided me with love and attention and much needed respites from academic pursuits. I thank my parents, Bryce and Eleanor, who have always placed a strong emphasis on intelligence and education by example but have done so without judgement. My mother lent me a copy of James Thom’s Panther In The Sky about a dozen years ago and this helped to rejuvenate my interest in this historical era. Special credit is due my thesis committee: Dr.
