Wiseman December 2011 Chair: Jack Davis Major: History This dissertation explores the confluence of the constructed categories of race and whiteness through the figure of David Levy Yulee. As a two-term senator, a large- scale landowner, and the entrepreneur responsible for Florida‟s first major railroad, David Levy Yulee was a leader in nineteenth-century Florida‟s economic development and political history. He was also the nation‟s first Jewish senator, an irony as he did not practice the Jewish religion, maintain Jewish cultural practices, or associate with Jewish communities. Quite the opposite, Yulee engaged Christian society, married a Christian woman and occasionally attended church, and adhered to Christian religious dogma. Nevertheless, most people considered him to be a Jew because of his family and ancestry, links to Judaism often socially described as race. Many nineteenth- century Americans, including Yulee, considered these bonds to be permanently inscribed in his blood marking him as distinct from the widely perceived nineteenth- century archetype of the Christian Anglo-American. Although society ascribed Yulee with a racial Jewish identity, this designation did not limit his social or political success. Yulee manipulated this social label by aggrandizing some aspects of his racial background, but also by performing the role of 6 a Southern white gentleman, an archetype of white Southern manhood. Aside from aligning with Christianity, Yulee mingled with the elite of Southern Christian society. He also fiercely advocated the Southern political position of states‟ rights and the corresponding right to own slaves; indeed, he owned numerous slaves and large plantations. Yulee‟s projection of whiteness helped him earn admission into the ranks of upper-class Southern society and allowed him to achieve social, economic, and political success, but he remained racially bound to Judaism. Moreover, this dissertation illustrates the role of memory in constructing academic and usable, oftentimes fictitious, history and community identity. Since his death in 1886, different social communities have remembered Yulee as a railroad entrepreneur, a staunch supporter of the Old South, and as the nation‟s first Jewish senator. Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Yulee‟s Jewish identity has served as an example in discussions about the extent of American inclusion and citizenship. Jews in south Florida, home to one of the nation‟s largest Jewish communities, use Yulee to illustrate the enduring and prominent Jewish role in the state‟s history. For much of the twentieth century, north Florida communities have often remembered Yulee in the context of the Old South, yet these memories have been waning in the last third of the twentieth century. In their place, Floridian‟s are increasingly applying memories of Yulee as a community builder and railroad entrepreneur to their own endeavors in creating community unity out of diverse social sectors. 7 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Early Sunday morning, October 10, 1886, David Levy Yulee, a former United States senator from the state of Florida, died at the Clarendon hotel in New York City. Newspapers reported that Yulee was returning to his home in Washington, D.C., from a vacation in Bar Harbor, Maine, when he stopped in New York on the first of October.1 His health began deteriorating soon after arriving in the city. As the situation gravened, doctors ushered Yulee‟s family to his bedside. They surrounded him when he passed away that autumn morning, pneumonia reportedly claiming his life. Yulee‟s family brought the former senator‟s remains to Washington, his home for the last several years of his life. There, the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church held memorial services for him before interring him beside his wife in Oak Hill cemetery near Georgetown. Yulee had many esteemed colleagues among the social and political elite of his time. Former United States President Chester Arthur was one of his many prominent dinner guests while his honorary pallbearers included former Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston.2 Public sites, such as the Court of General Term in Washington, D.C., adjourned early on the morning of October 12 out of respect to Yulee‟s memory.3 Nationwide, presses carried the news of his death, which made the front page in such widely read publications as the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, and the Atlanta Constitution. 1 The most extensive accounts of Yulee‟s death are found in the Washington Post, October 11, 1886, and the New York Times, October 11, 1886, 5. 2 The American Israelite, October 22, 1886, 5. 3 The Washington Post, October 13, 1886, 2. 8 Newspapers around the nation began issuing obituaries, eulogies, and editorials in the days and weeks following Yulee‟s death. Some obituaries contained little more than a few sentences, but many more offered extensive memories of his life. Editors could choose from many aspects of Yulee‟s life as subject matter for these foundational memories of him. The ex-senator had endured a long and often turbulent political career in the Democratic Party, one that was pierced by the Civil War, the most divisive and violent domestic episode in American history. Yulee also became an extremely wealthy man by touting Florida‟s natural resources and commercial prospects, spurring internal improvements, and amassing a great fortune as a real estate speculator, planter, and railroad developer. Yulee‟s accomplishments seem even more remarkable since most people marked him as the first senator of Jewish descent in the history of the predominantly Christian United States. These first memories of Yulee at the time of his death outlined the different ways in which his political career, entrepreneurial activities, and religious heritage would be historically remembered. Obituaries in Florida‟s newspapers devoted considerable attention to Yulee‟s political and economic activities that affected Florida‟s material and political development. A leader in the drive for statehood, Florida‟s newspapers connected Yulee‟s political efforts with the state‟s demographic growth and material prosperity, and especially recalled his role in the development of Florida‟s interior. Florida obituaries mentioned Yulee‟s efforts towards improving the state‟s communication and transportation infrastructures by developing the state‟s ports and postal system. They lauded his efforts in advancing the state‟s railroads both before and after the Civil War. Some obituaries reminded their readers that Yulee‟s push for federal assistance against 9 the local Indians spurred the passing of the Armed Occupation law, which provided 160 acres of land to frontier settlers.4 Yulee‟s promotion of Florida‟s internal improvements benefited many people: the poor, the wealthy, and especially him. Conversely, most obituaries across the nation paid scant attention to Yulee‟s endeavors in Florida. Most newspapers depicted Yulee as a wealthy man, but they were unclear, for instance, whether he inherited his wealth, acquired it through his legal career or agricultural pursuits, or made it in railroad development and real estate speculation. Accounts often referred to Yulee‟s dual antebellum careers as a lawyer and planter. They also noted that

    COVER Two eastbound trains and passengers appear to be waiting at the Archer depot for a westbound train from Gainesville, ca. 1910. The wood-burning freight on the right has arrived from Cedar Key, while the coal-burning train on the left has come from the south. The line on the right is the original “Florida Railroad” built by Senator David Levy Yulee’s company. Originating in Fernandina, the line had reached Archer by 1859, and was completed to its terminus at Cedar Key in 1861. The line on the left was built to haul phosphate from the mines in the area and other freight. It eventually went all the way to Tampa. From the collection of Herbert J. Doherty, Jr. Gainesville.

    JEWISH STATISTICS 277 JEWISH STATISTICS The statistics of Jews in the world rest largely upon estimates. In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries, official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the num- bers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to by one statistical authority after another. For the statistics given below various authorities have been consulted, among them the " Statesman's Year Book" for 1910, the English " Jewish Year Book " for 5670-71, " The Jewish Ency- clopedia," Jildische Statistik, and the Alliance Israelite Uni- verselle reports. THE UNITED STATES ESTIMATES As the census of the United States has, in accordance with the spirit of American institutions, taken no heed of the religious convictions of American citizens, whether native-born or natural- ized, all statements concerning the number of Jews living in this country are based upon estimates. The Jewish population was estimated— In 1818 by Mordecai M. Noah at 3,000 In 1824 by Solomon Etting at 6,000 In 1826 by Isaac C. Harby at 6,000 In 1840 by the American Almanac at 15,000 In 1848 by M.

GEORGE MERCER BROOKE, JR. Professor of History Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va. On 5 November 1823, the Adjutant General in Washington ordered Lieutenant Colonel George Mercer Brooke of the Fourth Infantry to take four companies from Cantonment Clinch near Pensacola to Tampa Bay for the purpose of building a military post. Exactly three months later, Brooke reported from the Tampa Bay area that he had arrived and work on the post was under way. A study of this troop movement and the construction of the cantonment later called Fort Brooke gives some insight into the problems the army faced one hundred and fifty years ago. At that time the population of the country was only ten million and the immigration flood of the nineteenth century was as yet only a trickle. The population was predominantly rural, only seven per cent living in urban areas. The railroad era lay in the future. Missouri had just recently been admitted as the twenty-fourth state after a portentous struggle on the slavery issue, and the country was laboring to recover from the Panic of 1819 induced in large part by overspeculation in land.

  • The Gordian Knot: Apartheid & the Unmaking of the Liberal World Order, 1960-1970
    THE GORDIAN KNOT: APARTHEID & THE UNMAKING OF THE LIBERAL WORLD ORDER, 1960-1970 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Ryan Irwin, B.A., M.A. History ***** The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Professor Peter Hahn Professor Robert McMahon Professor Kevin Boyle Professor Martha van Wyk © 2010 by Ryan Irwin All rights reserved. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the apartheid debate from an international perspective. Positioned at the methodological intersection of intellectual and diplomatic history, it examines how, where, and why African nationalists, Afrikaner nationalists, and American liberals contested South Africa’s place in the global community in the 1960s. It uses this fight to explore the contradictions of international politics in the decade after second-wave decolonization. The apartheid debate was never at the center of global affairs in this period, but it rallied international opinions in ways that attached particular meanings to concepts of development, order, justice, and freedom. As such, the debate about South Africa provides a microcosm of the larger postcolonial moment, exposing the deep-seated differences between politicians and policymakers in the First and Third Worlds, as well as the paradoxical nature of change in the late twentieth century. This dissertation tells three interlocking stories. First, it charts the rise and fall of African nationalism. For a brief yet important moment in the early and mid-1960s, African nationalists felt genuinely that they could remake global norms in Africa’s image and abolish the ideology of white supremacy through U.N.

  • 1 After Slavery & Reconstruction: the Black Struggle in the U.S. for Freedom, Equality, and Self-Realization* —A Bibliogr
    After Slavery & Reconstruction: The Black Struggle in the U.S. for Freedom, Equality, and Self-Realization* —A Bibliography Patrick S. O’Donnell (2020) Jacob Lawrence, Library, 1966 Apologia— Several exceptions notwithstanding (e.g., some titles treating the Reconstruction Era), this bibliography begins, roughly, with the twentieth century. I have not attempted to comprehensively cover works of nonfiction or the arts generally but, once more, I have made— and this time, a fair number of—exceptions by way of providing a taste of the requisite material. So, apart from the constraints of most of my other bibliographies: books, in English, these particular constraints are intended to keep the bibliography to a fairly modest length (around one hundred pages). This compilation is far from exhaustive, although it endeavors to be representative of the available literature, whatever the influence of my idiosyncratic beliefs and 1 preferences. I trust the diligent researcher will find titles on particular topics or subject areas by browsing carefully through the list. I welcome notice of titles by way of remedying any deficiencies. Finally, I have a separate bibliography on slavery, although its scope is well beyond U.S. history. * Or, if you prefer, “self-fulfillment and human flourishing (eudaimonia).” I’m not here interested in the question of philosophical and psychological differences between these concepts (i.e., self- realization and eudaimonia) and the existing and possible conceptions thereof, but more simply and broadly in their indispensable significance in reference to human nature and the pivotal metaphysical and moral purposes they serve in our critical and evaluative exercises (e.g., and after Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum, in employing criteria derived from the notion of ‘human capabilities and functionings’) as part of our individual and collective historical quest for “the Good.” However, I might note that all of these concepts assume a capacity for self- determination.

  • 2006 Abstracts
    Works in Progress Group in Modern Jewish Studies Session Many of us in the field of modern Jewish studies have felt the need for an active working group interested in discussing our various projects, papers, and books, particularly as we develop into more mature scholars. Even more, we want to engage other committed scholars and respond to their new projects, concerns, and methodological approaches to the study of modern Jews and Judaism, broadly construed in terms of period and place. To this end, since 2001, we have convened a “Works in Progress Group in Modern Jewish Studies” that meets yearly in connection with the Association for Jewish Studies Annual Conference on the Saturday night preceding the conference. The purpose of this group is to gather interested scholars together and review works in progress authored by members of the group and distributed and read prior to the AJS meeting. 2006 will be the sixth year of a formal meeting within which we have exchanged ideas and shared our work with peers in a casual, constructive environment. This Works in Progress Group is open to all scholars working in any discipline within the field of modern Jewish studies. We are a diverse group of scholars committed to engaging others and their works in order to further our own projects, those of our colleagues, and the critical growth of modern Jewish studies. Papers will be distributed in November. To participate in the Works in Progress Group, please contact: Todd Hasak-Lowy, email: [email protected] or Adam Shear, email: [email protected] Co-Chairs: Todd S.

  • Florida Jewish History Month January
    Florida Jewish History Month January Background Information In October of 2003, Governor Jeb Bush signed a historic bill into law designating January of each year as Florida Jewish History Month. The legislation for Florida Jewish History Month was initiated at the Jewish Museum of Florida by, the Museum's Founding Executive Director and Chief Curator, Marcia Zerivitz. Ms. Zerivitz and State Senator Gwen Margolis worked closely with legislators to translate the Museum's mission into a statewide observance. It seemed appropriate to honor Jewish contributions to the State, as sixteen percent, over 850,000 people of the American Jewish community lives in Florida. Since 1763, when the first Jews settled in Pensacola immediately after the Treaty of Paris ceded Florida to Great Britain from Spain, Jews had come to Florida to escape persecution, for economic opportunity, to join family members already here, for the climate and lifestyle, for their health and to retire. It is a common belief that Florida Jewish history began after World War II, but in actuality, the history of Floridian Jews begins much earlier. The largest number of Jews settled in Florida after World War II, but the Jewish community in Florida reaches much further into the history of this State than simply the last half-century. Jews have actively participated in shaping the destiny of Florida since its inception, but until research of the 1980s, most of the facts were little known. One such fact is that David Levy Yulee, a Jewish pioneer, brought Florida into statehood in 1845, served as its first U.S.
