The Joint University Library and Mrs. Moore received the papers from Mrs. Nell Savage Mahoney, the landlord of Anne Rankin in her latter years. Changes in archival methods as well as the gradual erosion of the internal organization of the papers led to the reprocessing of the papers, originally processed by the Manuscript Division in 1959. According to the original finding aid, the Manuscripts Division of the Tennessee State Library and Archives retains the literary rights in the unpublished writings of the Rankin family in these papers. The Tennessee State Library and Archives dedicates the said literary rights to the public. For the purposes of scholarly research, single photocopies of unpublished writings may be made.

SLAVERY, SECESSION, AND SIN: RELIGION & DISSENT IN THE UPCOUNTRY SOUTH, 1820-1865 A Dissertation presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History The University of Mississippi by DOUGLAS R. PORTER, JR. April 2013 Copyright Douglas R. Porter, Jr. 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Despite decades of scholarship illuminating divisions within Southern society during the nineteenth century, religious historians still imply that white Southerners collectively supported slavery, secession, and the Confederate war effort, choices they believed to be inherently just and holy. This dissertation challenges this notion by highlighting religious dissent in the South during the antebellum and Civil War eras. It argues that antislavery and anti-Confederate white Southerners imagined their lives and times, and justified their social and political choices, with as much religious urgency as their proslavery and pro-Confederate neighbors.

  • Tennessee Historical Quarterly Civil War and Reconstruction Articles 1997-2010
    Tennessee Historical Quarterly Civil War and Reconstruction Articles 1997-2010 Spring 1997 Origins of an African-American School in Haywood County (pp 44-55) By Dorothy Granberry This account of the Freedmen’s School at Brownsville (later renamed Dunbar) examines the socio-political context in which the school emerged in 1866, the involvement of African American community leaders, and the evolution of the school into a community enterprise. R.C. Scott established a Freedmen’s Bureau office in Brownsville in 1866, where 41 percent of the population was black. The first three month session of the school was April-June that year; in August it resumed with 20 boys and 27 girls under the age of 16. By May 1867, the African American community had bought its own lot for a school, where they built a two-story frame building that was used until it burned in the 1910s. (It was named the Dunbar School in the 1890s.) The article profiles the community leaders who started the school: Mortimore Bond, Charles Somerville, Thomas Claiborne, Hardin Smith, Samuel Williams, and Frank Peebles. Next explored is the form the developing school took, the bases used by the black community in choosing trustees, and the community’s goals for the school. \ Summer 1997 The Incarceration of a Regiment (pp 80-95) By C. Wallace Cross The Forty-Ninth Tennessee was organized into ten regiments at Fort Donelson in late 1861 and was captured there on February 16, 1862. The differing experiences of the officers and enlisted men at their respective prisons exemplified “rank hath its privilege,” as the field grade officers enjoyed comfortable conditions at Fort Warren in Boston, the company officers were treated well at Johnson’s Island in northern Ohio, and the enlisted men suffered at Camp Douglas in northern Illinois.
