    Bloody, Bloody Yazoo Jackson

    P a g e | 1 Andrew Edwards Mae Ngai/Elizabeth Blackmar Senior Thesis Word Count: 20,121 4.4.2011 Bloody, Bloody Yazoo Jackson The Crisis over Speculation and Sovereignty in the Early Republic P a g e | 2 “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” ~The Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1791. In the broadest sense, political struggles between republicans and federalists in the earliest years of the American republic were about a trade-off between freedom and power. According to early Chief Justice John Marshall republicans resisted ―every attempt to transfer from their own hands into those of congress powers which by others,‖ Marshall‘s federalists, ―were deemed essential to the preservation of the union.‖1 Conversely, as republican newspaper editor and poet Philip Freneau wrote in 1793, ―the people rejoice in their freedom, and are determined to maintain it.‖2 Yet those two concepts, freedom and power, so familiar from history and manifest in the political discourse of George Washington and John Adams‘s administrations, remain opaque. The antagonisms of freedom and power are so broadly understood that contradictory interpretations can be made from the same evidence. Charles Beard interpreted the political divide of the 1790s as ―a profound division‖ that ―ensued throughout the United States based on different views of the rights of property,‖ with capitalist federalists on one side and agrarian republicans on the other.3 As Joyce Appleby reinterpreted them, however, republicans were ―progressive,‖ ―capitalist,‖ ―new money‖ men, who had no patience for the aristocratic pretentions of the ―elites,‖ while ―elite‖ federalists were, perhaps, just better organized.4 For 1 Marshall quoted by Beard.

    Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report of the Georgia Historical Society Fiscal Year 2011 INTRODUCTION W. Todd Groce, PhD President and Chief Executive Officer Fiscal Year 2011 (July 1, 2010-June 30, 2011) was a banner one for the Georgia Historical Society. Due to the launch of a capital and capacity building campaign the institution enjoyed its most prosperous year in nearly 175 years of continuous operation. As evidence of this, GHS raised a record $5 million for educational programming, archival services, capital projects and endowment. The endowment continued to rebound, and at the end of the fiscal year reached $6.54 million, close to its pre-recession level. Total assets grew from $7,382,181 in FY10 to $13,476,604 at the end of FY11, an increase of 82.5 percent. This healthy bottom line was due in part to careful financial management, dynamic board leadership, a recovering stock market, and the creation of two new endowment funds: the Dr. Henry Sauls Fund, established by a gift of $25,000 from John and Laura Wallace; and the Allan Gaynor Fund, established by an initial bequest of $300,000 from Alan Gaynor, a long-time supporter of GHS. The primary reason, however, for the significant increase in the Society’s net assets was the acquisition in June 2011 of the property at 104 West Gaston Street in Savannah for development as the Jepson House Education Center. Named in honor of philanthropists and higher education champions Robert and Alice Jepson, this is the first physical expansion of the Georgia Historical Society in forty years.
