A precursor to the more infamous New York draft riots of 1863, the violence was triggered by the prospect of a draft and the rumored arming of black soldiers. Fearing that their jobs would be threatened by emancipation and an influx of black workers, immigrant laborers tried to establish themselves as true citizens and African Americans as interlopers. During the Civil War, as at other times in the nation’s history, black men staked their claims to citizenship on their loyal labor and their armed service—not just in federal armies, but in defense of their homes and livelihoods. When black workers organized in self-defense, white Cincinnatians quickly formed militia units in response. This wartime rioting followed patterns of antebellum riots, but the emancipation of African Americans and their military service during the war created a clear turning point in black demands for social citizenship.

  • Microfilm Publication M617, Returns from U.S
    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.

Please contact [email protected] for additional information. Indiana Midwestern state that made significant contributions to the Union War effort. Admitted to the Union in 1816, Indiana was carved out of the Old Northwest Territory, which the U.S. Government had wrested from Native Americans by force during the late 18 th and early 19 th centuries. Indiana encompasses 36,185 square miles and is bordered by Lake Michigan and the state of Michigan to the north, Ohio to the east, Kentucky to the south, and Illinois to the west. Indiana’s long southern border formed by the Ohio River gives the state excellent access by water to points farther east and ready access to the Mississippi River to the south and west. On the eve of the Civil War in 1861, Indiana’s population stood at 1.35 million; the state had undergone a significant population boom in the decades preceding the war. Indiana residents generally supported the Abraham Lincoln administration’s efforts to maintain the Union during this conflict, although there was significant opposition to the war effort and some level of sympathy for the Confederacy, especially in the southern portion of the state.

  • The Developmental History of Civil War Prison Camps in Illinois and Indiana
    THE DEVELOPMENTAL HISTORY OF CIVIL WAR PRISON CAMPS IN ILLINOIS AND INDIANA A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS For the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE IN HISTORIC PRESERVATION By TRAVIS ALLEN RATERMANN ADVISER-FRANCIS PARKER BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY 2009 2 ABSTRACT THESIS: The Developmental History of Civil War Prisons in Indiana and Illinois. STUDENT: Travis Allen Ratermann DEGREE: Master of Science of Historic Preservation COLLEGE: College of Architecture and Planning DATE: May, 2009 PAGES: 126 Many Civil War properties still exist, though only one prison camp from the western theater is still interpreted and little in the way of research has been conducted on the built environment of these sites throughout the North and the South. Therefore, addressing how the Civil War Prison Camps in Illinois (Camp Butler, Camp Douglas, Rock Island, and Alton Penitentiary) and Indiana (Camp Morton) developed throughout their use by the United State War Department is essential for those studying about Civil War-era prisoner of war camps. Currently, this topic is hidden in published documents regarding the entire site and other stories that may involve the camp. There are only remnants of the built environment that still remain on the original sites such as the small cell wall from the Alton Military Prison in Alton, Illinois. It is interesting to note how the camp developed structurally, through the materials and labor used. This project has the ability to become significant to historians who question why these sites were dismantled shortly after the war’s end and why very few of the structures that were built during this time period remained after the end of the war, especially when dealing with certain construction materials and their lifespan in the open environment.
