Proceedings of the Sixteenth Annual Session of the State Literary and Historical Association of North Carolina by R. D. W. Connor Pdf

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Sixteenth Annual Session of the State Literary and Historical Association of North Carolina: Raleigh; November 8-9, 1915 This is a time of preparation for war. Men and munitions are being made ready, and a thousand auxiliary enterprises are under way to con tribute to the success of the common cause. Among the war measures of the day, none have a greater appeal to our hearts than those which foresee the human wreckage that must inevitably result, and prepare relief and compensation. As our vigorous, upstanding young men put on their uniforms and go to the training camps, our thoughts go ahead of them across the seas to the trenches and the firing line. [there some of them must suffer wounds and disease and death that victory may be won and that the honor and safety of our country may be maintained. So we have raised millions of money for the Red Cross and have enlisted the services of devoted men and women in preparing hospitals, and ambu lances, and medical and surgical supplies against the death and suffering sure to come. A measure of protection and relief that anticipates even more fully and humanely the needs of the future is the War Insurance Act signed by President Wilson a few weeks ago. This law provides separation allowances for the families or dependent relatives of our soldiers, it establishes liberal rates of compensation to soldiers who are wounded or contract disease in the military service, and it offers the men in our army and navy the Opportunity to secure life or total disability insurance up to at the lowest rates that could be obtained in time of peace by able-bodied men such as those who compose our military forces. AS Secretary of the Treasury mcadoo has said, this epoch-making law affords our soldiers and sailors the greatest measure of protection ever offered to its fighting forces by any nation in the history of the world.

The Fight for the Old North State by Hampton Newsome Pdf

On a cold day in early January 1864, Robert E. Lee wrote to Confederate president Jefferson Davis "The time is at hand when, if an attempt can be made to capture the enemy's forces at New Berne, it should be done." Over the next few months, Lee's dispatch would precipitate a momentous series of events as the Confederates, threatened by a supply crisis and an emerging peace movement, sought to seize Federal bases in eastern North Carolina. This book tells the story of these operations—the late war Confederate resurgence in the Old North State. Using rail lines to rapidly consolidate their forces, the Confederates would attack the main Federal position at New Bern in February, raid the northeastern counties in March, hit the Union garrisons at Plymouth and Washington in late April, and conclude with another attempt at New Bern in early May. The expeditions would involve joint-service operations, as the Confederates looked to support their attacks with powerful, homegrown ironclad gunboats. These offensives in early 1864 would witness the failures and successes of southern commanders including George Pickett, James Cooke, and a young, aggressive North Carolinian named Robert Hoke. Likewise they would challenge the leadership of Union army and naval officers such as Benjamin Butler, John Peck, and Charles Flusser. Newsome does not neglect the broader context, revealing how these military events related to a contested gubernatorial election; the social transformations in the state brought on by the war; the execution of Union prisoners at Kinston; and the activities of North Carolina Unionists. Lee's January proposal triggered one of the last successful Confederate offensives. The Fight for the Old North State captures the full scope, as well as the dramatic details of this struggle for North Carolina.

Ghosts of the Confederacy by Gaines M. Foster Pdf

After Lee and Grant met at Appomatox Court House in 1865 to sign the document ending the long and bloody Civil War, the South at last had to face defeat as the dream of a Confederate nation melted into the Lost Cause. Through an examination of memoirs, personal papers, and postwar Confederate rituals such as memorial day observances, monument unveilings, and veterans' reunions, Ghosts of the Confederacy probes into how white southerners adjusted to and interpreted their defeat and explores the cultural implications of a central event in American history. Foster argues that, contrary to southern folklore, southerners actually accepted their loss, rapidly embraced both reunion and a New South, and helped to foster sectional reconciliation and an emerging social order. He traces southerners' fascination with the Lost Cause--showing that it was rooted as much in social tensions resulting from rapid change as it was in the legacy of defeat--and demonstrates that the public celebration of the war helped to make the South a deferential and conservative society. Although the ghosts of the Confederacy still haunted the New South, Foster concludes that they did little to shape behavior in it--white southerners, in celebrating the war, ultimately trivialized its memory, reduced its cultural power, and failed to derive any special wisdom from defeat.

Writing North Carolina History by Jeffrey J. Crow,Larry E. Tise Pdf

Writing North Carolina History is the first book to assess fully the historical literature of North Carolina. It combines the talents and insights of eight noted scholars of state and southern history: William S. Powell, Alan D. Watson, Robert M. Calhoon, Harry L. Watson, Sarah M. Lemmon, and H. G. Jones. Their essays are arranged in chronological order from the founding of the first English colony in North America in 1585 to the present. Traditionally North Carolina has not received the same scholarly attention as Virginia and South Carolina, despite the excellent resources available on Tar Heel history. This study, derived from a symposium sponsored by the North Carolina Division of Archives and History in 1977, asks questions and describes methodologies needed to redress past neglect. Besides providing a comprehensive evaluation of what has been written about North Carolina, the essayists offer perspectives on how historians have interpreted the state's history and what directions future historians need to take. Particularly important, the book provides a bibliography and suggests opportunities for future historical investigation by discussing topics, themes, and source materials that remain untapped or underused. North Carolina's unique and colorful culture, folklore, geography, politics, and growth demand new and creative historical analysis. Collectively the authors and editors of Writing North Carolina History offer a welcome, necessary guide to the study of Tar Heel history. Originally published in 1979.
