I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: Dante Basista, Student Date Approvals: Dr. David Simonelli, Thesis Advisor Date Dr. Martha Pallante, Committee Member Date Dr. Donna DeBlasio, Committee Member Date Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Dean of Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT This is a study of the correspondence and published writings of three-time Democratic Presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan in relation to his role in the anti-imperialist movement that opposed the US acquisition of the Philippines, Guam and Puerto Rico following the Spanish-American War. Historians have disagreed over whether Bryan was genuine in his opposition to an American empire in the 1900 presidential election and have overlooked the period following the election in which Bryan’s editorials opposing imperialism were a major part of his weekly newspaper, The Commoner. The argument is made that Bryan was authentic in his opposition to imperialism in the 1900 presidential election, as proven by his attention to the issue in the two years following his election loss.

  • GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, and the RECONSTRUCTION of CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented In
    NEW CITIZENS: GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alison Clark Efford, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Doctoral Examination Committee: Professor John L. Brooke, Adviser Approved by Professor Mitchell Snay ____________________________ Adviser Professor Michael L. Benedict Department of History Graduate Program Professor Kevin Boyle ABSTRACT This work explores how German immigrants influenced the reshaping of American citizenship following the Civil War and emancipation. It takes a new approach to old questions: How did African American men achieve citizenship rights under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments? Why were those rights only inconsistently protected for over a century? German Americans had a distinctive effect on the outcome of Reconstruction because they contributed a significant number of votes to the ruling Republican Party, they remained sensitive to European events, and most of all, they were acutely conscious of their own status as new American citizens. Drawing on the rich yet largely untapped supply of German-language periodicals and correspondence in Missouri, Ohio, and Washington, D.C., I recover the debate over citizenship within the German-American public sphere and evaluate its national ramifications. Partisan, religious, and class differences colored how immigrants approached African American rights. Yet for all the divisions among German Americans, their collective response to the Revolutions of 1848 and the Franco-Prussian War and German unification in 1870 and 1871 left its mark on the opportunities and disappointments of Reconstruction.

  • Marillion on Leidsekade Live
    Leidsekade Live (Hilversum, 21 April 1996) Marillion on Leidsekade Live On 22 April 1996 Marillion did an interview acoustic set that was broadcast on Dutch radio. This is a transcription of that interview plus some photographs Note: all photographs were made by Bart Stringa! Thanks! ... Shouty audience... clapping... Mark Stakenburg: Welcome, Steve Hogarth to Leidsekade Live. You just released a double live album called Made Again. It was recorded in Paris, London and Rotterdam. Why Rotterdam, because it's kind of a difficult hole to get a really good sound, I think. Steve Hogarth: No, that's true, it is a bit of a shed, isn't it, the Ahoy. But there is always an amazing crowd there, it always tends to sell out. And it's nice to capture the atmosphere of the crowd because the difference between recorded studio albums and live albums is the crowd, really. The band are usually worse, you know, live. But you've got a crowd. And that's the whole point of making a live record is to try and capture the way the musicians respond to the crowd. The way that bounces back and to. And Netherlands has always been a precious market for the band. M: You have a hard following here. S: Yes, of course, a very passionate following. So it's the obvious country to come to for us to make a live recording. M: Is it more difficult to perform knowing there is a tape rolling? So that it's going to be an album maybe? S: Yeah, it is actually.

  • Party Women and the Rhetorical Foundations of Political Womanhood
    “A New Woman in Old Fashioned Times”: Party Women and the Rhetorical Foundations of Political Womanhood A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Emily Ann Berg Paup IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Karlyn Kohrs Campbell, Advisor December 2012 © Emily Ann Berg Paup 2012 i Acknowledgments My favorite childhood author, Louis May Alcott, once wrote: “We all have our own life to pursue, our own kind of dream to be weaving, and we all have the power to make wishes come true, as long as we keep believing.” These words have guided me through much of my life as I have found a love of learning, a passion for teaching, and an appreciation for women who paved the way so that I might celebrate my successes. I would like to acknowledge those who have aided in my journey, helped to keep me believing, and molded me into the scholar that I am today. I need to begin by acknowledging those who led me to want to pursue a career in higher education in the first place. Dr. Bonnie Jefferson’s The Rhetorical Tradition was the first class that I walked into during my undergraduate years at Boston College. She made me fall in love with the history of U.S. public discourse and the study of rhetorical criticism. Ever since the fall of 2002, Bonnie has been a trusted colleague and friend who showed me what a passion for learning and teaching looked like. Dr.

  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions by Ned Hémard
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Lost The Presidency and Lost At Love Thomas Jefferson almost lost the presidency in 1800 to Aaron Burr. Each candidate received seventy-three electoral votes. The tie had to be resolved in the House of Representatives. One vote broke the deadlock and made Jefferson our third chief executive. One of those votes that made the difference was that of William Charles Cole Claiborne, a native of Virginia elected to represent Tennessee in the U.S. House in 1796 and again in 1798. Jefferson rewarded him by appointing him governor of the Territory of Mississippi in 1801. After the Louisiana Purchase, he governed Louisiana until becoming its first elected governor upon statehood in 1812. Incredibly, Claiborne’s deciding vote was probably illegitimate. Born in 1775, he did not meet the constitutional age requirement of twenty-five years for election to the House until the last year of his second term. He is still the youngest member ever elected to that body. Yet had he not cast that vote, Jefferson may not have purchased Louisiana and there would have been no Louisiana for Claiborne to govern. Claiborne may not have married into an aristocratic Creole family or been around for the Battle of New Orleans. And there’d be no Claiborne Avenue. But this is a story of another extremely close election. Samuel Jones Tilden (1814-1886) was a New York-born corporate attorney with many railroads as clients. A successful legal practice and a talent for wise investments made him a rich man.
