  • Professional Communities in Alabama, from 1804 to 1861
    OBJECTS OF CONFIDENCE AND CHOICE: PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITIES IN ALABAMA, 1804-1861 By THOMAS EDWARD REIDY JOSHUA D. ROTHMAN, COMMITTEE CHAIR GEORGE C. RABLE LAWRENCE F. KOHL JOHN M. GIGGIE JENNIFER R. GREEN A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2014 ! Copyright Thomas E. Reidy 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Objects of Confidence and Choice considered the centrality of professional communities in Alabama, from 1804 to 1861. The dissertation highlighted what it meant to be a professional, as well as what professionals meant to their communities. The study examined themes of education, family, wealth patterns, slaveholding, and identities. This project defined professionals as men with professional degrees or licenses to practice: doctors, clergymen, teachers, and others. Several men who appeared here have been widely studied: William Lowndes Yancey, Josiah Nott, J. Marion Sims, James Birney, Leroy Pope Walker, Clement Comer Clay, and his son Clement Claiborne Clay. Others are less familiar today, but were leaders of their towns and cities. Names were culled from various censuses and tax records, and put into a database that included age, marital status, children, real property, personal property, and slaveholding. In total, the database included 453 names. The study also mined a rich vein of primary source material from the very articulate professional community. Objects of Confidence and Choice indicated that professionals were not a social class but a community of institution builders. In order to refine this conclusion, a more targeted investigation of professionals in a single antebellum Alabama town will be needed.

THE BROWN PRINTING CO. 1916 Hres Copyright. 1916 BY EDWARD CHAMBERS BETTS ^ 'CI.A'I4R190 NOV -I 1916 "VU) I ^ FOREWORD In the preparation of this work the author is largely indebted to the Department of Archives and History of Alabama, under the capable management of Dr. Thomas M. Owen, who con- tributed liberally of his time assisting in a search of the files and records of this Department. Especially is the author indebted for the aid received from the letters of Judge Thomas J. Taylor,* dealing with this subject. In its inception this work was not intended for, nor is it offered as, a literary efifort, but merely as a chronicle of his- torical facts and events dealing with Huntsville. In its prepa- ration, the author has taken care to record nothing within its pages for which his authority as to the source of information is not given. It has value only as a documentary record of facts and events gleaned chiefly from contemporaneous sources, and is as accurate as could be made after verification from all material at hand, which was necessarily very meager.

    History of the Twentieth Tennessee Regiment Volunteer Infantry C.S.A. by W.J. McMurray, M.D. Published By The Publication Committee, Consisting of W.J. McMurray, M.D.; Deering J. Roberts, M.D.; and Ralph J. Neal Nashville, Tenn. 1904 CAUSES OF THE GREAT CIVIL WAR BETWEEN THE STATES. We of the South believe that there were three great primary causes that brought on the war; lst African Slavery. 2nd-Constant encroachment by the Federal or Northern party upon the reserved rights of the Southern States. 3rd- The right to secede from the Federal Union. The Southern States claimed that the reserved rights of the States that had never been delegated to the Federal Government gave them this right; which the Federal Government denied. So it will be seen that when the Southern States believed that their reserved rights had been invaded, their property was about to be destroyed, and their social fabric upturned by the Northern party, the South did attempt to bring into force these reserved rights, which caused the Federal party to bring on a war of invasion and destruction, that has scarcely been equaled in the annals of civilized or barbarous warfare. Who can deny any State either North or South these rights, when you read the second and third articles of confederation which say; "Article 2nd-Each State retains its sovereignty -Freedom and independence - and every power jurisdiction and right, which is not by this confederation expressly delegated to the United States in Congress."
