  • Southern Heretics: the Republican Party in the Border South During the Civil War Era
    Southern Heretics: The Republican Party in the Border South During the Civil War Era by James Allan Stuart MacKay A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History with Specialization in Political Economy Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2019, James Allan Stuart MacKay Abstract This dissertation examines the emergence and establishment of the Republican Party in the Border South slave states of Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri during the Civil War era. As regional and national tensions over slavery began to consume American political life, Frank Blair and other likeminded antislavery leaders attempted to build a Republican organization within the Border South. This dissertation argues that to become a viable political alternative, Republicans in the Border South developed a particular ideology of liberal political antislavery. This ideology promoted a message of white supremacy and free white labor, and reinforced a desire to see the economic progress of their states untrammeled by slavery. As a result, this ideology attracted enough antislavery men to form the only viable contingent of Republicans in the southern slave states. This dissertation also argues for the political importance of Border South Republicans during the Civil War era. Despite being small in number, they played an outsized role in the political and strategic direction of the Republican Party. Border South Republican leaders took an active role in party formation, and influenced major political decisions made during the war. Furthermore, Republican policy concerning black civil and political rights during Reconstruction were often made with Border South Republican concerns in mind.

  • Sign Ordinance
    TOWN OF LAYTONSVILLE, MARYLAND Adopted November 4, 1980 Re-adopted with amendments January 7, 1986 Re-adopted with amendments September 5, 2006 Sign Ordinance Section 128. SIGNS Sec. 128.01 Statement of Purpose The purpose of this ordinance is to create the legal framework for a comprehensive and balanced system of street signs that will preserve the right of free speech and expression, provide an easy and pleasant communication between people and their environment, and avoid the visual clutter that is potentially harmful to traffic and pedestrian safety, property values, business opportunities, and community appearance. With these purposes in mind, it is the intent of this ordinance to authorize the use of signs that are: 1. Compatible with their surroundings; 2. Appropriate to the activity that displays them; 3. Expressive of the identity of individual activities and the community as a whole; and 4. Legible in the circumstances in which they are seen. 1 Sec. 128.02 Definitions. (a) Above-roof sign: A street sign displayed over the peak or parapet of a building. (b) Area: The “area” of a sign shall include the entire face of the sign including the frame or border thereof, but not the frame or border if the frame or border is completely plain, is not lit, and does not depict or display any figure, lettering, or any part of the message of the sign. Each face of a sign which meets the aforesaid definition of a “sign” in this ordinance shall be considered a separate sign for the purpose of computing allowable area. (c) Banner: A sign composed of a logo or design on a lightweight material either enclosed or not enclosed in a rigid frame and secured or mounted to allow motion caused by the atmosphere.

M^L T36c 1198617 GENEALOGY COLLECTION ALLEN COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY 3 1833 02229 0313 V >tJ : ^o^S?5v CHRONICLES OF COLONIAL MARYLAND WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY JAMES WALTER THOMAS Member of the Maryland Historical Society THE EDDY PRESS CORPORATION CUMBERLAND, MD. Copyright 1913 James Walter Thomas All rights reserved 1198817 PREFACE TPHIS work may be classified as an historical review of Maryland, anterior to and during the American Revolution, though its Author be- stows upon it the more modest title— Chronicles of Colonial Maryland. His chief object has been to explore and develop historic fields which have hitherto either|been wholly neglected, or have received but scant notice at the hands of historians. This does not apply to the first chapter, the ob- ject of which was to re-locate a cherished landmark, "once known, but forgotten"—the historic island of Saint Clement's—and thus rescue from oblivion, the spot consecrated as the first landing place of the Maryland colonists; as well, also, to identify the exact point of landing at the place of its permanent settlement. The Author, while conscious of the laborious research and painstaking care bestowed upon it, fully realizes that a work, so largely one of original research, is inevitably not without imperfections. In submitting it, therefore, to the public, he does so with the assuring hope that the learned and generous will appreciate the difficulties attending the undertaking, and will accord consideration and justice to the motive which animated this humble tribute to his native State.
