  • The United States Navy Looks at Its African American Crewmen, 1755-1955
    “MANY OF THEM ARE AMONG MY BEST MEN”: THE UNITED STATES NAVY LOOKS AT ITS AFRICAN AMERICAN CREWMEN, 1755-1955 by MICHAEL SHAWN DAVIS B.A., Brooklyn College, City University of New York, 1991 M.A., Kansas State University, 1995 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2011 Abstract Historians of the integration of the American military and African American military participation have argued that the post-World War II period was the critical period for the integration of the U.S. Navy. This dissertation argues that World War II was “the” critical period for the integration of the Navy because, in addition to forcing the Navy to change its racial policy, the war altered the Navy’s attitudes towards its African American personnel. African Americans have a long history in the U.S. Navy. In the period between the French and Indian War and the Civil War, African Americans served in the Navy because whites would not. This is especially true of the peacetime service, where conditions, pay, and discipline dissuaded most whites from enlisting. During the Civil War, a substantial number of escaped slaves and other African Americans served. Reliance on racially integrated crews survived beyond the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, only to succumb to the principle of “separate but equal,” validated by the Supreme Court in the Plessy case (1896). As racial segregation took hold and the era of “Jim Crow” began, the Navy separated the races, a task completed by the time America entered World War I.

  • From the UCA Archives LI UCA’S Alumni Remembered Fourth in a Four-Part Series by Jimmy Bryant – UCA Archivist
    From the UCA Archives LI UCA’s Alumni Remembered Fourth in a Four-Part Series By Jimmy Bryant – UCA Archivist In sheer number of deaths, World War II is considered the most deadly conflict in human history. Most published estimates of the total number of people killed (military and civilian combined) range from a low of 50 million to a high of 78 million. According to the Congressional Research Service that provides information to Congress, the United States Armed Forces suffered a total of 291,557 killed in action with another 113,842 deaths occurring due to other causes. According to the Encyclopedia of Arkansas, 194,645 Arkansans served in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II, or about 10% of the state’s 1940 population. The same source shows that 3,519 Arkansans were killed in action. According to the Faulkner County Veterans Memorial that stands in front of the Faulkner County Courthouse, 120 military personnel from Faulkner County lost their lives in the war. On a percentage basis, the University of Central Arkansas (UCA) was hit hard by the number of war deaths. From the fall of 1941 through the fall of 1944, UCA averaged 458 students per fall semester. UCA’s loss of 46 alumni amounted to approximately 10% of the student body during that time. After the war was over, UCA officials wanted to find a way to properly remember those who had given their lives for their country. They decided to create a living memorial by planting a live oak tree for each former student that had been killed.

HOLLIS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PEEFACE The history of the Frigate Constitution is un- dertaken in order to bring within the pages of one volume all the events which go to make a long and interesting career upon the sea. It is the outgrowth of a short article for the " Atlantic Monthly " to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the vessel's launch. She has so long been a favorite topic for stoiytellers and writers that nothing new remains to be told. It is rather a case for recall- ing much that has been forgotten. As the forma- tion and service of the sailing navy supply the background which brings our ship into stronger perspective, all the circumstances which had an in- fluence upon her design, construction, and employ- ment are given. WhUe, therefore, in no sense a history of the Navy, it forms* a reasonably con- nected narrative of naval events, and particularly of our good old frigate.

  • Fort Dallas and the Naval Depot on Key Biscayne, 1836 -1926 by NATHAN D
    Fort Dallas and the Naval Depot on Key Biscayne, 1836 -1926 By NATHAN D. SHAPPEE EARLY WRITINGS ON FORT DALLAS When Dr. Walter S. Graham began publication of the Miami Metropolis in April, 1896, he planned to publish occasionally articles on local history. The first of these appeared in the issue of November 20, 1896 and was a sketch of Fort Dallas. Earlier in the year Dr. Graham had written to the War Department requesting data on the local monument of the Seminole War. He was informed that another person had already asked for data on Fort Dallas. This person proved to be Mrs. Julia D. Tuttle who owned Fort Dallas and desired information about her property. Dr. Graham then approached Mrs. Tuttle for permission to receive the War Department's account and to publish it in the Metropolis. The published article consisted of the department's article in full and as it was written. To this Graham added data which he had collected as additional local highlights on the topic. In his earlier capacity as a land buyer and title searcher for Henry M. Flagler and his East Coast Railroad, he had collected interesting and personal memoirs on Fort Dallas. The first article, however, had been compiled from records in the Adjutant General's Office and, because of this, related almost exclusively only the Army's role in this protracted conflict. The compiler did not consult the records of other services of the government which, as it has turned out, had large amounts of data on Fort Dallas and the events of the Seminole War in the Miami area.1 Actually it was the Navy which appeared first on Biscayne Bay in 1836 to establish patrols of the coast and to set up a post or fort.

Today, the belief in the corporeal assumption of Mary is universal in the East and in the West; according to Benedict XIV (De Festis B.V.M., I, viii, 18) it is a probable opinion, which to deny were impious and blasphemous.
