    FINAL History of Wildwood 1860-1919 (chapter for 2018 printing) In the prior chapter, some of the key factors leading to the Civil War were discussed. Among them were the Missouri Compromise of 1820, the McIntosh Incident in 1836, the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 which led to “the Bleeding Kansas” border war, and the Dred Scott case which was finally decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1856. Two books were published during this turbulent pre-war period that reflected the conflicts that were brewing. One was a work of fiction: Uncle Tom’s Cabin or a Life Among the Lowly by Harriet Beecher Stowe published in 1852. It was an anti-slavery novel and helped fuel the abolitionist movement in the 1850s. It was widely popular with 300,000 books sold in the United States in its first year. The second book was nonfiction: Twelve Years a Slave was the memoir of Solomon Northup. Northup was a free born black man from New York state who was kidnapped in Washington, D.C. and sold into slavery. He was in bondage for 12 years until family in New York secretly received information about his location and situation and arranged for his release with the assistance of officials of the State of New York. His memoir details the slave markets, the details of sugar and cotton production and the treatment of slaves on major plantations. This memoir, published in 1853, gave factual support to the story told in Stowe’s novel. These two books reflected and enhanced the ideological conflicts that le d to the Civil War.

  • B. August 3, 1824 – D. May 14, 1887 It Is the Tradition of Western Michigan
    WOODS CLASS IN MEMORIAM – JUSTICE WILLIAM BURNHAM WOODS UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT JUSTICE b. August 3, 1824 – d. May 14, 1887 It is the tradition of Western Michigan University’s Thomas M. Cooley Law School to name each entering class after a former justice of the Michigan Supreme Court or of the United States’ Supreme Court. Today’s entering class is named in honor of United States Supreme Court Justice William Burnham Woods. William Burnham Woods was born in Newark, Ohio, on August 3, 1824. His father, Ezekiel Woods, was a farmer-merchant from Kentucky. His mother, Sarah Burnham Woods, was from New England. Woods attended Western Reserve College and Yale, where he graduated valedictorian in 1845. He studied law with S.D. King in his hometown of Newark and became his partner after passing the Ohio bar in 1847. After nearly a decade of practice in Newark, where he rose to local prominence as a lawyer, Woods married Anne E. Warner in 1855, and was elected mayor of Newark the following year. His political experience as mayor was followed by an election on the Democratic ticket to the state legislature in 1857, where he was chosen Speaker of the House. When the Republicans gained control of the state House in 1860, Woods became the minority leader. Although opposed to the Civil War and President Lincoln’s policy, Woods was convinced that victory over the South was necessary. He joined the Union Army in 1862, and saw action at Shiloh, Vicksburg, and on General Sherman’s march through Georgia. Near the end of the war, he was promoted to the rank of brevet major general in 1866.

  • Mcbrier History 1
    McBRIER GENEALOGY xi FOREWORD The compilation of this genealogy has been an interesting and rewarding experience. At the beginning it seemed a comparatively easy task; but before proceeding far I discovered that my knowledge of the historical facts relating to my family was meager and exceedingly hazy. I was well acquainted with most of my relatives—had known them all my life; but, in writing a sketch of the life of a particular person, dependable factual material was essential. Impressions, general ideas, or hearsay did not afford a basis for a reliable record. Even dates were uncertain and records were conflicting. Dates of births, of deaths, and of marriages were frequently recorded differently in various places, and which of these to accept as authentic was often a problem. Several avenues of approach were necessary in order to verify a given date or incident. It is a source of disappointment to one seeking information from the town and county records in the rural districts of many of our older states, to find that there are few dependable records of vital statistics prior to 1880. Unlike the newer states, where state organizations were set up soon after statehood was granted, such important data was supposed to be kept by a local town clerk or other official, but no uniform system was followed. Entries depended upon the ability and interest of the local political officeholder at the time; and many such records are glaring examples of incompetency; moreover, in many cases the recording of such data was begun only in recent years. In the English Commonwealth, church records are universally reliable.

Now they come in the morning, wearing suits and carrying incendiary posters, proclaiming that God is pro-life and on their side." INTRODUCTION Over the past decade, militant antiabortion groups, religious zealots, and radical conservative factions have dramatically increased their efforts to prevent women from exercising their constitutional right to an abor- tion.2 The level of violence has escalated rapidly,3 culminating in,the March 1993 shooting death of Dr. David Gunn, who performed legal abor- 4 tions at a health clinic in Florida. The violence continues unfettered. Clinics are besieged by angry mobs and each day doctors and patients face physical and verbal assault.5 Firebombs, death threats, and shootings have replaced reasoned debate in the anti-abortion crusade.
