  • Riots, Public Perception and Government Response in the Civil
    Law and Lawlessness: Government Response to Riots in Southern Cities during the Civil War Erik Lorenz HIST-497: Research Methods in History October 29, 2020 1 Introduction “There are lamp posts and rope enough to cure this worse than treason—and the remedy will be supplied by an outraged people.”1 This ominous observation was made in a poster which some disgruntled citizen posted in a public place in Mobile, Alabama before May 9th, 1863. The sentiment described could have been articulated by upset citizens in many urban centers during the Civil War. In the wartime South, cities were often the scene of violent crowd passions. From outrage over food prices to violent political passions, moments of lawlessness swept through cities, raising questions over the role government played in leading to those riots and how they dealt with such moments of lawlessness. Historians of riots in southern cities during the Civil War have focused on bread riots in particular and their characteristics, causes and gendered elements. Andrew Smith’s Starving the South: How the North Won the Civil War predictably argues that hunger was the deciding factor in the Civil War.2 Smith covers Northern and Southern agricultural production before the war, the impact of the Confederate cotton embargo, the reasons the Confederacy failed to grow more food over the course of the war, and touches on the Confederate government response to food scarcity. In his chapter on the Confederate bread riots, Smith gives a broad overview of their characteristics, causes and gendered elements. He recounts the events of various riots while largely focusing on the Richmond riot.

The trail is currently a mostly crushed limestone trail, but the ITEP grant would be used to pave the trail with asphalt and will connect the Amtrak Train Station in Mattoon with Eastern Illinois University in Charleston. As Phase 2 of this Lincoln Prairie Grass trail improvement project, the cities are formulating a “beautification development plan” for the entire trail which includes cultural, natural, historical and recreational improvements to make the trail a transportation “experience”; while still performing its multi-modal function. BACKGROUND Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act / Federal Program Funds (1994) In February 1994, the cities of Charleston and Mattoon were awarded Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act “ISTEA” funds ($511,200) for the construction of a crushed limestone "Lincoln Prairie Grass Trail" which was completed and currently exists between the two cities.

  • Northwest Ohio Political Sentiment During the Civil War
    NORTHWEST OHIO POLITICAL SENTIMENT DURING THE CIVIL WAR Brian Yager A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2016 Committee: Michael Brooks, Advisor Dwayne Beggs © 2016 Brian Yager All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Michael Brooks, Advisor This thesis explores the political sentiment of Northwest Ohio during the Civil War. First, it explores the relevant literature pertaining to the political environment in the Union. Next, it examines Northwest Ohio newspapers’ election coverage for the following elections: 1860 presidential election, 1863 gubernatorial election, and 1864 presidential election. For each of these elections, the newspaper coverage is compared to the election results in order to better understand the political attitudes of Northwest Ohioans. The study finds that a conflict of visions existed between the two major political parties, which did not cease in a time of war. Additionally, it reveals that Northwest Ohio differed from other parts of the Union because it was a racially conscious society and a slight majority approved of the war to end the rebellion. iv For My Parents v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A special thanks to the committee members on my thesis, Dr. Michael Brooks and Dr. Dwayne Beggs, for their valuable time and advice, which this thesis would not be possible without them. Both of them have provided much appreciated feedback and suggestions, especially for writing style. I would also like to thank Dr. Rebecca Mancuso whose term paper assignment in her Local History course inspired me to explore Civil War political sentiment at the local level.

    © 2015 Sally E. Heinzel LIBERTY PROTECTED BY LAW: RACE, RIGHTS, AND THE CIVIL WAR IN ILLINOIS BY SALLY E. HEINZEL DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Bruce Levine, Chair Professor Frederick Hoxie Professor David Roediger, University of Kansas Assistant Professor Ronald Gifford, Illinois State University ii Abstract Illinois was a hostile place for free blacks to live before the Civil War. Its racial laws, built on the principles of white supremacy and exclusivity, were among the most restrictive in the antebellum North. Illinois’s legal code discouraged blacks from moving to the state and severely circumscribed the rights of those who did. Yet, only weeks before the Civil War ended, Illinois lawmakers repealed the state’s most oppressive black laws. This dissertation explores how the war destabilized the racial order that white Illinoisans had constructed. It travels from the home front to the frontlines in order to understand the ways civilians and soldiers responded to a war that evolved into an assault on slavery. As Illinois soldiers became willing participants in the process of emancipation, Republicans back at home strove to eliminate the vestiges of slavery by striking down state statutes that denied blacks natural rights and equal protection under the law. iii To my parents, Nancy and Steve iv Acknowledgements It takes a village to write a dissertation. This project never would have made it out infancy without the guidance and support I have received along the way.

The more I read about African American elites, the more I began to question the idea that they were powerless in a white dominated society. Although it was true that the vast majority of African Americans had very little control over the circumstances of their lives, the same was true for the vast majority of poor and immigrant white people during the last decades of the 1800s. I was encouraged by several professors to explore my questions in greater depth during my masters program as well as my doctoral studies. The result was this final academic project that answered some questions, but which provided so many more. I will always be grateful to Dr.

During the massacre, one white Carolinian and six black Carolinians were killed. Forty years later, in 1916, a monument was erected in North Augusta, South Carolina to honor and remember Mckie Meriwether, who was described as the only person killed during the massacre. The monument does not mention the true horrific history of the white terrorism against black Carolinians. After white Carolinians reclaimed power in the state, they were able to alter the memory of the Hamburg Massacre from a horrific to heroic event.

  • Commemorating the Charleston Riot: Memory, Memorial, and Monetary Modernity*
    Commemorating the Charleston Riot: Memory, Memorial, and Monetary Modernity* Alex Scalise ommemoration is a difficult task for public historians C because it is tied to broader American cultural values and beliefs. Yet, with an abundance of so many different races, ethnicities, and ideologies, whose collective history should be remembered and memorialized? Historian David Thelen attempts to make clear the relationship between memory and history in “Memory and American History.” In the article, he connects historical study to individual and collective memory. He believes “the social dimensions of memory are more important than the need to verify accuracy.” But, whose historical interpretation is accurate? In a survey conducted with historian Roy Rosenzweig, concerning the uneasy link between memory and historical accuracy, Thelen states that, “in each construction of a memory, people…reorganize details from the past in an active and subjective way.” Individuals tend to recall their memories as truths, pitting them against the recollections of others. Also, most respondents preferred an interactive and collaborative approach to history. Particularly, the respondents prefer “to see history making as a more Alex Scalise, from Mokena, Illinois, earned his BA in history with a minor in anthropology in spring 2014. “Commemoration of the Charleston Riot: Memory, Memorial, and Monetary Modernity” was written for Dr. Debra Reid's Public History: Meaning and Method course in the fall of 2013. His paper was also featured in the Charleston Riot commemorations on campus this year. *This article contains no footnotes, as it was designed to use an annotated bibliography of the works central to its argument, and to discuss those works within the text, without using citations.
