  • The Democratic Party and the Transformation of American Conservatism, 1847-1860
    PRESERVING THE WHITE MAN’S REPUBLIC: THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICAN CONSERVATISM, 1847-1860 Joshua A. Lynn A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Harry L. Watson William L. Barney Laura F. Edwards Joseph T. Glatthaar Michael Lienesch © 2015 Joshua A. Lynn ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joshua A. Lynn: Preserving the White Man’s Republic: The Democratic Party and the Transformation of American Conservatism, 1847-1860 (Under the direction of Harry L. Watson) In the late 1840s and 1850s, the American Democratic party redefined itself as “conservative.” Yet Democrats’ preexisting dedication to majoritarian democracy, liberal individualism, and white supremacy had not changed. Democrats believed that “fanatical” reformers, who opposed slavery and advanced the rights of African Americans and women, imperiled the white man’s republic they had crafted in the early 1800s. There were no more abstract notions of freedom to boundlessly unfold; there was only the existing liberty of white men to conserve. Democrats therefore recast democracy, previously a progressive means to expand rights, as a way for local majorities to police racial and gender boundaries. In the process, they reinvigorated American conservatism by placing it on a foundation of majoritarian democracy. Empowering white men to democratically govern all other Americans, Democrats contended, would preserve their prerogatives. With the policy of “popular sovereignty,” for instance, Democrats left slavery’s expansion to territorial settlers’ democratic decision-making.

Now, the imposing seven- foot marble likeness resides in the entranceway to Beeson University Center. Curry inherited a post–Civil War college in dire straits, leaving after two years. He made his national reputation as an advocate for public education for everyone. 10 Leadership Team Samford’s vice presidential leadership team is responsible for all areas of the university—academics, business affairs, enrollment management and student affairs, operations and planning, and advancement (fund-raising and communication). Learn more about the team in this series of short profiles. 18 Reconsecrating a Sacred Place Fifteen years ago, in 1995, Samford consecrated its divinity school chapel as “a hallowed place to the glory of God.” Beeson Divinity School students and faculty recently reconsecrated the chapel, with its spectacular demonstration of Protestant sacred art. It was named Andrew Gerow Hodges Chapel in 2002. 30 Focusing on Student Success New Alabama community college chancellor Freida Hill understands the needs of students in the system she heads. Many have to work their way through school, as she did.

  • State Supreme Courts and the Confederate Constitution
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: “A LIGHT WHICH REVEALS ITS TRUE MEANING”: STATE SUPREME COURTS AND THE CONFEDERATE CONSTITUTION Donald Louis Stelluto, Jr., Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Herman J. Belz Departm ent of History During the Civil War, Confederate wartime legislation, chiefly conscription, exemption, and impressments statutes, raised fundamental constitutional issues. These actions by the national government became a prolific source of litigation in many southern states. Yet, in the absence of a national Confederate Supreme Court, it fell to state supreme courts and state jurists to resolve these challenges to the national government’s exercise of constitutional war powers and to enunciate key constitutional principles and explain the tenets of Confederate political philosophy. As a result, southern state supreme courts became the primary venues in which national constitutional issues were adjudicated. The constitutional purposes and goals of the Confederacy were national - rather than state -oriented and provided for limited but effective national government, a truly federal union in which state and national governments were to both operate effectively and energetically, and within the national gover nment, the powers of the national government were to be separated to promote efficiency and prevent usurpation. In these cases, state supreme courts enunciated key Confederate constitutional doctrines and principles n amely, limited government or constituti onalism, federalism, the separation of powers, and national purposes. State jurists established that the Confederate Constitution was a substantive and purposeful constitutive consisting of conservative principles and innovative forms and features. Operat ing as a de facto supreme court, these state supreme courts considered scores of wartime decisions.

  • Statues from the National Statuary Hall Collection
    CAPITOL VISITOR CENTER TEACHERTEACHER LESSONLEssON PPLALANN Statues froM the NatioNal Statuary Hall CollectioN Introduction In 1864, Congressman Justin Morrill of Vermont proposed converting the former House of Representatives Chamber into a venue for displaying statues of notable Americans from each state. Signed into law that same year, the National Statuary Hall Collection now consists of 100 statues. All 50 individual states have contributed 2 statues (either bronze or marble) to honor those determined to be notable and worthy of commemoration. There are many ways students can engage and explore the National Statuary Hall Collection. What follows is a framework for one approach. In this lesson, students consider the collection and what constituted the inclusion of an individual at the time their statue became part of the collection. Students research one individual and develop a persuasive statement outlining why they feel this person was chosen to be represented by a statue in the collection. While intended for 8th grade students, the lesson can be adapted for other grade levels. 1 TEACHER LESSON PLAN: STATUES FROM THE NATIONAL STATUARY HALL COLLECTION CAPITOL VISITOR CENTER TEACHER LESSON PLAN Estimated Time Three to five class sessions National Standards United States History National Standards (Specific Era addressed depends on selection of individual to research) Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts, grade 8 Reading Informational text 1, 2, 6 Writing 2, 4, 5 Speaking and Listening 1, 4 Common Core State Standards
