Michigan’s Fight for Freedom: The Civil War Era Lorenzo Cultural Center – February – May 2008 PART II: CIVIL WAR FACTS AND INFORMATION CIVIL WAR TIMELINE The American Civil War (1861-1865) pitted brother against brother in a new land which needed unification more than it needed to be divided, and it cost hundreds of thousands of lives, not to mention the several thousand it crippled forever. Armies were made up of poorly trained, poorly clothed, poorly equipped, and poorly fed individuals. Yet, soldiers from both sides fought with uncommon bravery, even when they knew they wouldn't make it to the end of the day. The Civil War gave birth to heroes. Men such as General Ulysses S. Grant, General Robert E. Lee, and of course, the Great Emancipator himself, President Abraham Lincoln, who abolished slavery, upholding Thomas Jefferson's decree that "All men are created equal." Prelude to War The War Begins: January – June 1820 - The Missouri Compromise is negotiated 1861 allowing Maine to be admitted to the Union as January and February- Mississippi, Florida, a Free State and Missouri as a slave state Alabama, Georgia, Texas, and Louisiana maintaining a balance between free and slave secede from the Union states.

Michigan’s Fight for Freedom: The Civil War Era Lorenzo Cultural Center – February – May 2008 ABRAHAM LINCOLN When Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860, seven slave states left the Union to form the Confederate States of America, and four more joined when hostilities began between the North and South. The Civil War then engulfed the nation as Lincoln vowed to preserve the Union, enforce the laws of the United States, and end the secession. Almost all historians judge Lincoln as the greatest President in American history because of the way he exercised leadership during the war and the impact of that leadership on the moral and political character of the nation.

  • Music and the American Civil War
    “LIBERTY’S GREAT AUXILIARY”: MUSIC AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by CHRISTIAN MCWHIRTER 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 2009 Copyright Christian McWhirter 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Music was almost omnipresent during the American Civil War. Soldiers, civilians, and slaves listened to and performed popular songs almost constantly. The heightened political and emotional climate of the war created a need for Americans to express themselves in a variety of ways, and music was one of the best. It did not require a high level of literacy and it could be performed in groups to ensure that the ideas embedded in each song immediately reached a large audience. Previous studies of Civil War music have focused on the music itself. Historians and musicologists have examined the types of songs published during the war and considered how they reflected the popular mood of northerners and southerners. This study utilizes the letters, diaries, memoirs, and newspapers of the 1860s to delve deeper and determine what roles music played in Civil War America. This study begins by examining the explosion of professional and amateur music that accompanied the onset of the Civil War. Of the songs produced by this explosion, the most popular and resonant were those that addressed the political causes of the war and were adopted as the rallying cries of northerners and southerners. All classes of Americans used songs in a variety of ways, and this study specifically examines the role of music on the home-front, in the armies, and among African Americans.

  • Passing: Intersections of Race, Gender, Class and Sexuality
    Passing: Intersections of Race, Gender, Class and Sexuality Dana Christine Volk Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In ASPECT: Alliance for Social, Political, Ethical, and Cultural Thought Approved: David L. Brunsma, Committee Chair Paula M. Seniors Katrina M. Powell Disapproved: Gena E. Chandler-Smith May 17, 2017 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: passing, sexuality, gender, class, performativity, intersectionality Copyright 2017 Dana C. Volk Passing: Intersections of Race, Gender, Class, and Sexuality Dana C. Volk Abstract for scholarly and general audiences African American Literature engaged many social and racial issues that mainstream white America marginalized during the pre-civil, and post civil rights era through the use of rhetoric, setting, plot, narrative, and characterization. The use of passing fostered an outlet for many light- skinned men and women for inclusion. This trope also allowed for a closer investigation of the racial division in the United States. These issues included questions of the color line, or more specifically, how light-skinned men and women passed as white to obtain elevated economic and social status. Secondary issues in these earlier passing novels included gender and sexuality, raising questions as to whether these too existed as fixed identities in society. As such, the phenomenon of passing illustrates not just issues associated with the color line, but also social, economic, and gender structure within society. Human beings exist in a matrix, and as such, passing is not plausible if viewed solely as a process occurring within only one of these social constructs, but, rather, insists upon a viewpoint of an intersectional construct of social fluidity itself.

These files represent a tremendous source of information on Civil War nurses: both their wartime experiences and their post-war lives. They also potentially document a significant shift in attitudes towards women’s military service, making them perfect for an examination of social history from 1860 to the turn of the 20th century. Yet no one has done an in-depth analysis of these pension records, the legislation that made them possible, or the process that nurses went through in their struggle for military pensions.

    NUCMC Catalog Record Creator: Brinton, Daniel Garrison, 1837‐1899. Title: Daniel Garrison Brinton papers. Date Created: 1863‐1899 (bulk 1863‐1864) Extent: 1 box (.5 linear ft.) Location: Chester County Historical Society, West Chester, Pa. Biographical Data: Dr. Daniel Garrison Brinton (13 May 1837‐31 July 1899) was born in Thornbury Township, Chester County, Pa., on "Homestead Farm" to Lewis and Ann (Garrison) Brinton. Brinton entered the army as a surgeon and served as Medical Director of the II Army Corps, holding the rank of Brevet Lieutenant‐Colonel. After the war, Brinton became well known for his work in ethnology, anthropology, and linguistics of North and South America. Summary: Chiefly letters from Brinton to his parents during the Civil War years of 1863 and 1864. Brinton's letters give the reader descriptions about troop movements before, during, and after the battles of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. Although Brinton is said to have served with the troops at Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain, and Missionary Ridge, the letters in the collection stop in Sept. 1863 and begin again in Aug. 1864 when Brinton writes his family from the U.S. General Hospital in Quincy, Ill., where he was superintendent for the remainder of the war. Correspondence includes references to Lewis A. Armistead, Francis C. Barlow, O.O. Howard, Robert E. Lee, George G. Meade, Carl Schurz, Adolph von Steinwehr, Frederick William Stowe, Horatio Worrall, and to Mosby's Guerillas.
