General 'Black Jack' Logan by Brian Fox Ellis Pdf

Meet the most famous man of the 19th century completely forgotten in the 21st, General John A. Logan. Logan was a congressman from Southern Illinois who often won elections with more than 80% of the vote. He was Mark Twain's favorite public speaker, President Grant's favorite volunteer General, Frederick Douglas' champion for civil rights, and Abraham Lincoln's nemesis who later helped Lincoln win re-election. Let us travel back in time to 1885. General John A Logan has recently won his third term as a United States Senator. The Senator from Maine, James Blaine ran as the Republican nominee for president with Logan as his vice president. They lost their election to Grover Cleveland, but there is a buzz that Logan will run for president in the next election. Papers across the country have picked up on the 'Logan Boom'. Formatted as an interview this book uses many quotes from actual newspaper interviews and speeches to introduce you to one of the most complex characters in American History and a King Maker in Washington.

Forgetting and the Forgotten by Michael C. Batinski Pdf

Revealing the forgotten in community histories Histories try to forget, as this evocative study of one community reveals. Forgetting and the Forgotten details the nature of how a community forged its story against outsiders. Historian Michael C. Batinski explores the habits of forgetting that enable communities to create an identity based on silencing competing narratives. The white settlers of Jackson County, Illinois, shouldered the hopes of a community and believed in the justice of their labor as it echoed the national story. The county’s pastkeepers, or keepers of the past, emphasizing the white settlers’ republican virtue, chose not to record violence against Kaskaskia people and African Americans and to disregard the numerous transient laborers. Instead of erasing the presence of outsiders, the pastkeepers could offer only silence, but it was a silence that could be broken. Batinski’s historiography critically examines local historical thought in a way that illuminates national history. What transpired in Jackson County was repeated in countless places throughout the nation. At the same time, national history writing rarely turns to experiences that can be found in local archives such as court records, genealogical files, archaeological reports, coroner’s records, and veterans’ pension files. In this archive, juxtaposed with the familiar actors of Jackson County history—Benningsen Boon, John A. Logan, and Daniel Brush—appear the Sky People, Italian immigrant workers, black veterans of the Civil War and later champions of civil rights whose stories challenge the dominant narrative.

The Loyal West by Matthew E. Stanley Pdf

A free region deeply influenced by southern mores, the Lower Middle West represented a true cultural and political median in Civil War-era America. Here grew a Unionism steeped in the mythology of the Loyal West--a myth rooted in regional and racial animosities and the belief that westerners had won the war. Matthew E. Stanley's intimate study explores the Civil War, Reconstruction, and sectional reunion in this bellwether region. Using the lives of area soldiers and officers as a lens, Stanley reveals a place and a strain of collective memory that was anti-rebel, anti-eastern, and anti-black in its attitudes--one that came to be at the forefront of the northern retreat from Reconstruction and toward white reunion. The Lower Middle West's embrace of black exclusion laws, origination of the Copperhead movement, backlash against liberalizing war measures, and rejection of Reconstruction were all pivotal to broader American politics. And the region's legacies of white supremacy--from racialized labor violence to sundown towns to lynching--found malignant expression nationwide, intersecting with how Loyal Westerners remembered the war.
