    From Red Shirts to Research: The Question of Progressivism in North Carolina, 1898 to 1959 by Calen Randolph Clifton, 2013 CTI Fellow Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School This curriculum unit is recommended for: 8th Grade Social Studies North Carolina: The Creation of the State and Nation Keywords: Progressivism, race relations, business, Great Depression, civil rights, Charlotte, desegregation, textile mills, sharecropping Teaching Standards: 8.H.2.2, 8.H.3.3, 8.C&G.1.3, 8C&G1.4 Synopsis: This unit is designed to build student skills of independent analysis and inquiry. Beginning with the Wilmington Massacre of 1898 and ending with the creation of Research Triangle Park in 1959, students will come to their own understanding of the progressive nature of North Carolina’s past. I plan to teach this unit during the coming year in to 111 students in 8th Grade Social Studies, North Carolina: The Creation of the State and Nation. I give permission for the Institute to publish my curriculum unit and synopsis in print and online. I understand that I will be credited as the author of my work. From Red Shirts to Research: The Question of Progressivism in North Carolina, 1898 to 1959 Calen Randolph Clifton Introduction The concept of progressivism is hard to grasp. In a literal sense, progressivism is the idea that advances in a society can improve the quality of life experienced by the members of that society. However, the ways in which different individuals and groups view "progress" can be paradoxical. This is especially true in societies that are struggling with internal strife and discord.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options
    National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options Updated December 3, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R42812 National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options Summary The National Statuary Hall Collection, located in the U.S. Capitol, comprises 100 statues provided by individual states to honor persons notable for their historic renown or for distinguished services. The collection was authorized in 1864, at the same time that Congress redesignated the hall where the House of Representatives formerly met as National Statuary Hall. The first statue, depicting Nathanael Greene, was provided in 1870 by Rhode Island. The collection has consisted of 100 statues—two statues per state—since 2005, when New Mexico sent a statue of Po’pay. At various times, aesthetic and structural concerns necessitated the relocation of some statues throughout the Capitol. Today, some of the 100 individual statues in the National Statuary Hall Collection are located in the House and Senate wings of the Capitol, the Rotunda, the Crypt, and the Capitol Visitor Center. Legislation to increase the size of the National Statuary Hall Collection was introduced in several Congresses. These measures would permit states to furnish more than two statues or allow the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories to provide statues to the collection. None of these proposals were enacted. Should Congress choose to expand the number of statues in the National Statuary Hall Collection, the Joint Committee on the Library and the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) may need to address statue location to address aesthetic, structural, and safety concerns in National Statuary Hall, the Capitol Visitor Center, and other areas of the Capitol.

  • Ulf Martin, John Mcleod Playing the Game: Dreierles
    ULF MARTIN, JOHN McLEOD Playing the Game: Dreierles he 2018 IPCS Convention in Leinfelden-Echterdingen and the following days were particularly fruitful for card game research. Not only did we Tenjoy the experience of playing the Württemberg games Gaigel and Binokel with local players during the Convention itself, but we also took the opportunity to learn several other fascinating card games during our subsequent travels in Southwest Germany. In a future article we will write about the various types of Schafkopf we discovered in the Palatinate. Meanwhile this article is devoted to a little-known Tarot game played in Central Baden. The former state of Baden, now part of the Land Baden-Württemberg, is so far as we know the only region in Germany where the tradition of playing games with the Tarot cards has survived. In this region the special 54-card French-suited Tarot pack known as Cego is used. There are two designs – the one most often used is an animal Tarot, but another version with domestic scenes on the trumps, somewhat like the modern French Tarot design, may still occasionally be found. Cego is also the name of the Tarot game most often played with these cards, and it is sometimes described as the “national card game of Baden”. But the same cards are also used for at least two other games. One is Strassenwart, also known as Vier-Anderle, which is not a Tarot game proper. The other is Dreierles (“Dreierle”, “Dreier”), a true Tarot game with some resemblance to Austrian Tapp-Tarock. From a pack made by The existence of Dreierles was already known Jacob, Mannheim, c.1890 to us from an article by Friedrich Schlager1 and it is mentioned in history of Tarot games by Dummett and McLeod2, but until recently we were unsure whether the game had survived, and we had no detailed description of it.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Party Formation in the United States Adissertationsubmittedinpartialsatisfactionofthe requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Darin Dion DeWitt 2013 c Copyright by Darin Dion DeWitt 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Party Formation in the United States by Darin Dion DeWitt Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Thomas Schwartz, Chair This dissertation is about how political parties formed in the world’s first mass democracy, the United States. I trace the process of party formation from the bottom up. First, I ask: How do individuals become engaged in politics and develop political affiliations? In most states, throughout the antebellum era, the county was the primary unit of political admin- istration and electoral representation. Owing to their small size, contiguity, and economic homogeneity, I expect that each county’s active citizens will form a county-wide governing coalition that organizes and dominates local politics. Second, I ask: Which political actor had incentives to lure county organizations into one coalition? I argue that the institutional rules for electing United States Senators – indirect election by state legislature – induced prospective United States Senators to construct a majority coalition in the state legislature. Drawing on nineteenth century newspapers, I construct a new dataset from the minutes of political meetings in three states between 1820 and 1860. I find that United States Senators created state parties out of homogeneous counties. They encouraged cooperation among county-wide governing coalitions by canvassing annual county political meetings, drafting ii and revising a multi-issue policy platform that had the potential to unite a majority of the state’s county governing coalitions, encouraging individual counties to create county- wide committees of correspondence and vigilance, and, finally, organizing a permanent state central committee and regular state-wide conventions.
