  • The Globalization of Cotton As a Result of the American Civil War
    SEEDS OF DESTRUCTION: THE GLOBALIZATION OF COTTON AS A RESULT OF THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by RICKY-DALE CALHOUN B.I.S., Murray State University, 2002 M.A., Murray State University, 2005 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2012 Abstract Cotton was the most important commodity in the economy of the industrialized Western world in the mid-nineteenth century, as vital then as petroleum is today. It was widely believed that a prolonged interruption of the cotton supply would lead not merely to a severe economic depression, but possibly to the collapse of Western Civilization. Three quarters of the world’s cotton supply came from the Southern states of the United States. When the American Civil War erupted and cotton supplies were cut off, the British Cotton Supply Association was faced with the difficult task of establishing cotton cultivation in other locations. In order for the effort to succeed, the British had to obtain and distribute millions of pounds of American cotton seeds. The United States government, the Illinois Central Railroad, and a number of organizations and individuals cooperated to obtain the necessary seeds that the British had to have. American farm equipment manufacturers assisted by designing, making, and distributing portable cotton gins and other implements needed by cotton growers overseas. U.S. consuls overseas sometimes assisted the Cotton Supply Association with seed and equipment distribution. This dissertation is about the implementation of the grand economic strategies of the United States and Great Britain.

  • West Kimberley Place Report
    WEST KIMBERLEY PLACE REPORT DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY ONE PLACE, MANY STORIES Located in the far northwest of Australia’s tropical north, the west Kimberley is one place with many stories. National Heritage listing of the west Kimberley recognises the natural, historic and Indigenous stories of the region that are of outstanding heritage value to the nation. These and other fascinating stories about the west Kimberley are woven together in the following description of the region and its history, including a remarkable account of Aboriginal occupation and custodianship over the course of more than 40,000 years. Over that time Kimberley Aboriginal people have faced many challenges and changes, and their story is one of resistance, adaptation and survival, particularly in the past 150 years since European settlement of the region. The listing also recognizes the important history of non-Indigenous exploration and settlement of the Kimberley. Many non-Indigenous people have forged their own close ties to the region and have learned to live in and understand this extraordinary place. The stories of these newer arrivals and the region's distinctive pastoral and pearling heritage are integral to both the history and present character of the Kimberley. The west Kimberley is a remarkable part of Australia. Along with its people, and ancient and surviving Indigenous cultural traditions, it has a glorious coastline, spectacular gorges and waterfalls, pristine rivers and vine thickets, and is home to varied and unique plants and animals. The listing recognises these outstanding ecological, geological and aesthetic features as also having significance to the Australian people. In bringing together the Indigenous, historic, aesthetic, and natural values in a complementary manner, the National Heritage listing of the Kimberley represents an exciting prospect for all Australians to work together and realize the demonstrated potential of the region to further our understanding of Australia’s cultural history.

S.Holbirooke-Jones. In refuting the claim of Wesley's critic that 'all the extraordinary gifts and operations of the Holy Ghost belonged only to the apostolical and primitive time,' Bart I offers evidence of glossalalia and other preternatural phenomena occurring at various times throughout history: 1) In the' _ _ New Testament it examines evidence for these spiritual manifestations; particularly the primary sources of Acts II and I Cors.

Physical description of the island and its people The Solomon group of islands forms a double chain southeast of the Bismarck archipelago off Papua New Guinea. Malaita, an elongated collection of mountains and hills rising from a submerged Melanesian ' " "/ land mass, extends 190 kilometers in length but measures only forty at the widest point.1 Mala, Ngwala, Mwala or Mara appear to be the main dialectal variations of Malaita's original name, which trans- lates "island as land". The "ita" ending may be a mistake, added through a misunderstanding by early Spanish explorers, or the whole word "Malaita" may be a corruption of "Marahiria", meaning "the big island", a word used by a dialect group on the west coast where the 2 Spanish landed. In the nineteenth century Malaita was commonly known as Maratta by both the Suropeans and the Melanesian labourers who left there for the colonies. The Solomons are part of the Pacific "Ring of Fire"; there are several active volcanoes on other islands in the group, but Malaita 3 is free of them.

According to Helen Hughes MacGill “My father’s father, Henry MacGill, was a second-generation Ontario Canadian of Scottish descent; and this is a good place to say again that we have only a clan connection with the fur-trading McGills who gave the land on which McGill University stands”. She wanted to clarify this point to demonstrate that there was no link between her family and her husband’s (Everett Cherrington Hughes) job at McGill University.
