In February 2017, the Charlottesville City Council had voted to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee from a public park, and Unite the Right members demonstrated against that decision on August 12. Counter- demonstrators marched through Charlottesville in opposition to the beliefs of Unite the Right. One participant was accused of driving a car into a crowd and killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer. The country was horrified. A national discussion on the use of Confederate symbols and monuments was already in progress after Dylann Roof murdered nine black church members at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in Charleston, South Carolina, on June 17, 2015. Photos of Roof posing with the Confederate flag were spread across the internet. Discussion of these events, including the origins of Confederate objects and images and their appropriation by groups today, was a backdrop for President Dudley’s appointment of the commission on Aug.

  • Lee, Honor, and the Confederacy
    1 Andy Haugen 5-8-11 History Senior Thesis Lee, Honor, and the Confederacy Honor played a vital role in southern culture and was not taken lightly, for one of the reasons the South seceded was that southerners believed their honor had been insulted. The traditions of the South demanded control of land and the independence to act for the good of family and community. The South began to feel the pressure of servitude to political forces that denounced practices like slavery, particularly in debates over the spread of slavery in western territories. Secession, then, can be understood as an effort to restore southern honor.1 One of Virginia’s leading gentlemen, Robert E. Lee, joined the Confederacy in 1861. With him, he brought not only his extraordinary military talents but an unwavering sense of honor and virtue that he possessed not only in wartime but throughout his entire life. For Lee, honor required action for the overall public good. Lee had devoted thirty years of his life to the U.S. Army yet during the Civil War he forfeited his Arlington Plantation along the Potomac River, had sons and relatives captured, and suffered physical hardships himself. If the Confederate cause was to succeed, Lee felt that private citizens and public figures would have to cooperate, sacrifice, and accept their duty. During the Civil War, the Confederate States of America learned quickly that the many independently functioning factions within their ranks did not have a cohesive intent or purpose. While Lee depended on honor and virtue to sustain the South, the very concept was virtually lost in the face of war.

    \\jciprod01\productn\G\GWN\89-3\GWN302.txt unknown Seq: 1 12-MAY-21 13:47 War Powers Abrogation Jeffrey M. Hirsch* ABSTRACT The United States’ peacetime security is based entirely on its all-volunteer armed forces. These volunteers, split equally between full- and part-time ser- vicemembers, risk not only their health and safety, but also their economic stability when they are called away from home for training or active duty. Servicemembers’ duties also interfere with the demands of employers, credi- tors, and government agencies—which can result in job losses, financial diffi- culties, and other costs. As a result, the federal government has long used its constitutional war powers to enact legislation protecting servicemembers from many of these hardships. These statutes provide employment leave and an- tidiscrimination protection, tax relief, and special procedural rights that lessen the burden of military service to ensure that the United States has a sufficient number of well-trained soldiers. Despite these statutes’ importance to national security, their applicability to state entities is in doubt. Using the Supreme Court’s fluctuating state sover- eign immunity jurisprudence, many state employers have invoked sovereign immunity to bar servicemembers’ private claims for monetary relief. More often than not, courts have sided with the states and dismissed ser- vicemembers’ federal claims for want of jurisdiction. However, these decisions are based on erroneous interpretations of the Court’s doctrine of sovereign immunity. Under current law, the federal government’s ability to subject states to individual suits is analyzed from a historical perspective. The inquiry asks whether the states, in ratifying the Constitution, believed that they retained im- munity in a given area.

    2017 ANNUAL REPORT IMPROVING GOVERNANCE IN A TIME OF TRANSITION rookings research is firmly rooted in observed facts, empirical BB data, and an institutional commitment to developing practical solutions to the most vexing policy challenges facing society, in the United States and around the world. This way of operating is necessary in an ever-more polarized Washington, where like-minded people are drawn to information sources that reinforce their increasingly entrenched worldviews and even facts are the subject of debate. For more than 100 years, Brookings has built a reputation for quality, independence, and impact on the value proposition that thoughtful, unbiased analyses lead to good policies, which are at the heart of good governance. This is a constant, even in times of transition in administrations and shifting global alliances. 1 CO-CHAIRS’ MESSAGE rookings is more important PHOTO: KATHERINE LAMBERT KATHERINE PHOTO: BB than ever. There has never been a greater need for indepen- dent, high-quality research that has a genuine impact on the most pressing matters of public policy. We can fulfill this purpose because of our Board’s vision and oversight, our leadership’s strong management, and the support of our many donors, whose names you can read in the Honor Roll at the end of this report. We are deeply grateful to them all. The Brookings 2.0 strategic plan that we began implementing in 2016 brings a new framework and urgency to our efforts, and the pages that follow offer some details on our progress. The plan starts with expanding Brookings’s mission, from a focus on the efficient functioning of government to the improvement of governance at all levels of society.
