    ROCKBRIDGB COUNTY, VIRGINIA ROCKBRIDGE COUNTY, VIRGINIA A N INFORMAL HISTORY by Edmi,nd Pendleton Tompkins, M.D. Late Librarian, Rockbridge H lstorlcal Society Edited by Mars1,all William Fishwick, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of American Studies Washington and Lee University I 9 5 2 WHITTBT & SHBPPBRSON • RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 0 FOREWORD AMBRICAN HISTORY has too often been written from the top down, rather than from the bottom up. The group involved has usually been the Senate, the Cabinet, or the General Staff. The scene has too often been New York, Washington, or the library stacks, rather than the American land and Main Street from which our culture springs and from which all our power is ultimately derived. The real American heritage is apparent only to those who follow the smaller contours and meanings, and fit them carefuHy into the general picture. Only when the individual fibers are understood is the completed pattern comprehensible. Edmund Pendleton Tompkins (1868-1952) spent years ex­ amining the fibers that went into Rockbridge county, and found in its diversification incentive and material for an Odyssey of the human spirit. Born in Lexington, Dr. Tomp­ kins attended Washington and Lee University and the Medi­ cal College of Virginia. From 1897 to 1907 he practiced medicine in the Natural Bridge neighborhood, and in 1913 toured the hospitals of Europe. Returning to his native county in 1925, he practiced medicine until his eighty-second year, endearing himself to thousands of people whom he attended. For many years he was county coroner, and he always par­ ticipated in the various affairs of his community.

REVOLT IN VIRGINIA Harry Byrd and the 1952 Presidential Election by JAMES R. SWEENEY* PRIOR to 1952 Virginians had voted for a Republican president only once in the twentieth century. In 1928 Herbert Hoover defeated Al Smith by 24,463 votes. Extraordinary circumstances produced that result. Smith's Catholicism and his opposition to Prohibition made him unacceptable to many Virginians, including the politically powerful Methodist Bishop James Cannon, Jr. By 1952 an entirely different political situation had developed in the Democratic Party, but Virginia Democrats were confronted with the same problem as in 1928, namely, whether or not to support a presidential candidate for whom they had a distinct lack of enthusiasm.' Since the incep- tion of the New Deal, the dominant wing of the Virginia Democratic Party, headed by Senator Harry F.

The origin of and continued demand for desegregation came from black Virginians who were challenging an oppressive racial caste system that greatly limited their freedom as American citizens. In the 1930's they b^gan demanding teacher salaries and school facilities equal to their white counter- parts. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People provided lawyers and organizational assistance as the school protests became a mass movement among black Virginians. In 1951, the protest became an attack on public school segre- gation itself. /V The Brown decision and the response to it split white opinion into three groups. A few white liberals publicly ac- cepted racial integration as good; extreme segregationists vehemently rejected any change in the racial caste system; a third group occupied the more complex middle or moderate posi- tion.

Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Dr. Konrad H. Jarausch Dr. Christopher Browning Dr. Chad Bryant Dr. Lloyd Kramer Dr. Terence McIntosh ©2007 Benjamin Carl Pearson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT BENJAMIN CARL PEARSON: Faith and Democracy: Political Transformations at the German Protestant Kirchentag, 1949-1969 (Under the direction of Konrad H. Jarausch) In the decades following World War II, German Protestants worked to transform their religious tradition. While this tradition had been previously characterized by rigidly hierarchical institutional structures, strong nationalist leanings, and authoritarian political tendencies, the experiences of dictatorship and defeat caused many Protestants to question their earlier beliefs. Motivated by the desire to overcome the burden of the Nazi past and by the opportunity to play a major role in postwar rebuilding efforts, several groups within the churches worked to reform Protestant social and political attitudes. As a result of their efforts, the churches came to play an important role in the ultimate success and stability of West German democracy. This study examines this transformation at the meetings of the German Protestant Kirchentag, one of the largest and most diverse postwar gatherings of Protestant laity. After situating the Kirchentag within the theological and political debates of the immediate postwar years, it focuses on changing understandings of the role of the church in society, the pluralization of Protestant political attitudes, and the shift from national to international self-understandings within the churches.

Reinhold Niebuhr and the World Council of Churches challenged Cold War liberalism from within. As they did, they anticipated and even applauded the anti-liberalism of early Cold War conservatives. While exploring intellectual precursors of the New Left, this essay forefronts one forgotten byproduct of the political realignments following World War II: The transgressive politics of “conservative socialism.” Furthermore, this work contributes to growing awareness of ecumenical Christian impact within American life. Keywords: protestantism; liberal protestantism; conservativism; liberalism; cold war; christian realism; ecumenism; reinhold niebuhr; world council of churches; new left 1. Introduction This essay remembers two interrelated forerunners of the 1960s New Left. The young, white “radical liberals” of that era distanced themselves from the Old Left by rejecting the organized working class as a force for distributive social justice [1,2]. They instead sought to reconcile values of personal authenticity and inclusive solidarity, as reflected in their premier statement of principles, the “Port Huron Statement” (PHS, 1962). The PHS was produced by Tom Hayden and the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).

Participatory democracy has been defined in the abstract as “a system of government where rank-and- file citizens rule themselves.” In con- trast to representative, majoritarian, and pluralist (i.e., interest group) forms of democracy, participatory democracy is often considered practi- cal and desirable only on small social scales such as the neighborhood. In that light, it has more in common with contemporary communitari- anism than with Western liberalism, which focuses more on individual than group freedom from political and economic controls.
