History

Nuclear weapons technology transformed the meaning of American citizenship in the early Cold War. The nature of nuclear war forced Americans to reconsider the relationship between citizens and the state, raising the question: who was responsible for Americans’ survival? As weapons technologies became more destructive, this civic debate intensified, demanding the involvement of policymakers, scientists, activists, and a surprising number of everyday Americans. Using a framework I call nuclear citizenship, this dissertation illustrates how knowledge of the nuclear threat led American citizens to reimagine ideas of public safety and democracy. This research thus examines the intersection of federal civil defense policies, popular science, and antinuclear activism, revealing how nuclear weapons opened new avenues for political participation and challenged ideas about democratic practice in the post-World War II era. Put another way, the problem of public safety in the Atomic Age gave Americans a new language for discussing rights, responsibilities, civic duty, and the power of the state. Americans, I argue, used their understanding of nuclear science and technology as a means for pushing back against the Cold War state. American civilians were active participants in a public dialogue that ultimately came to conclude that nuclear weapons stood in the way of peace, prosperity, and human health. Scholars frequently examine nuclear history through the lens of classified federal policymaking, military advancements, or elite science. These narratives downplay the economy of nuclear information available to civilians, and the ability of average Americans to understand and act in response to nuclear knowledge. This dissertation reorients the historical understanding of the early nuclear era in the United States by drawing attention to grassroots political engagement with nuclear science and technology. By utilizing a variety of local and federal records, personal correspondence, popular media, and civic group documents, my research gives agency to a range of unconsidered actors. My work thus adds nuance to larger scholarly conversations about the relationship between science, the state, and civilians, and changing currents of political activism in the postwar era.

▼ In 1790 1804 and 1819 the U.S. House of Representatives debated measures intended to restrict slavery and the transatlantic slave trade. During these three debates slaveholding representatives primarily from the Lower South attempted to call into question the general government’s right to discuss and legislate on slavery contending that except for in a few specific instances outlined in the Constitution slavery was purely a state matter not a national one. Their opponents employed a variety of tactics to counter this idea. One particularly effective approach was an expression of concern for the impact of slavery and the slave trade on the national character—the nation’s honor or reputation among other nations of the Atlantic world. Those who invoked concern for the national character did so as a way to keep slavery and the transatlantic slave trade in the national dialogue and legitimize these issues as national matters over which the general government possessed authority. In 1790 in response to three antislavery memorials sent to Congress a few representatives used national character and national interest to combat the contention that the slave trade and slavery were not national issues. In 1804 following South Carolina’s decision to reopen the transatlantic slave trade members of the House invoked anxiety for the national character to censure the state’s actions using national character to discuss imposing a tax on the transatlantic slave trade. In 1819 and 1820 as the House debated a proposal to restrict slavery in the new state of Missouri representatives who favored restriction used concern for the impact of the spread of slavery on the national character to promote the general government’s authority to impose the restriction. During all three debates members of the House of Representatives used concern over what other nations would think of the United States to validate discussion of antislavery measures in Congress. Examining these debates about slavery and the slave trade through the lens of national character provides valuable insight to the ambiguous relationship between slavery and the general government as well as the relationship between slavery and the founding principles of the United States.

▼ Many people think that the conservation-movement started in the twentieth century; but contrary to that belief, it started in 1847 when George P. Marsh, a U.S. Congressman from Vermont, called attention to the destructive impact that people were having on the land, especially in deforestation. He called for a conservationist approach to the management of the forested land because we were depleting our nation???s natural resources with devastating speed. By 1860 the negative effect of exploitation of tourism and livestock grazing in the high country of Yosemite were causing rampant and irreversible damage. Ongoing poaching and park devastation in Yellowstone required Congress to deploy the U.S. Army to build a camp at Mammoth Hot Springs to protect wildlife and natural reserves in 1886. The rookeries that provided nurseries for nesting young birds and the egrets and herons that graced the Florida landscape were being slaughtered at a rate of 5 million a year in 1886 to provide feathers for women???s hats. Clearly, federal intervention and enforced protection would have to ensue before the integrity of the United States??? natural resources were permanently compromised and all wildlife would go the way of the passenger pigeon. This thesis will examine the early United States conservation legislation that was introduced to Congress and became laws to protect our vanishing wilderness and wildlife. It will also investigate President Theodore Roosevelt and how he courageously and with conviction pursued the rights of ???Citizen Bird???. This project will include 9 lesson plans for the elementary and middle school students that will acquaint them with the early history of American conservation and the development of the National Park System. Most important of all, the students will come away from these lesson plans with a feeling of respect and stewardship for the natural world they share this earth with.

▼ This dissertation reintegrates abolitionism into the main currents of U.S. political history. Because of a bifurcation between studies of the American antislavery movement and political histories of the sectional conflict, modern scholars have drastically underestimated the significance of abolitionist political activism. Historians often characterize political abolitionists as naïve idealists or separatist moral purists, but I recast them as practical, effective politicians, who capitalized on rare openings in American political institutions to achieve outsized influence in the face of a robust two-party system. Third-party abolitionists shaped national debate far beyond their numbers and played central roles in the emergence of the Republican Party. Over the second half of the 1830s, political abolitionists devised the Slave Power concept, claiming that slaveholder control of the federal government endangered American democracy; this would later become the Republicans' most important appeal. Integrating this argument with an institutional analysis of the Second Party System, antislavery activists assailed the Whigs and Democrats – cross-sectional parties that incorporated antislavery voices while supporting proslavery policies – as beholden to the Slave Power. This analysis thus provided the rationale for creation of the abolitionist Liberty Party and then became its chief rhetorical tool.Liberty partisans cast all elections as contests against the Slave Power and repeatedly forced slavery into political debate by controlling balances of power in many northern locales. Meanwhile, they developed a sophisticated lobbying strategy to exploit Congress as a public forum that could be made to magnify and widely disseminate the Slave Power argument. As northern Whigs and Democrats faced new antislavery electoral pressures and chafed under the Slave Power's increasing exactions, Liberty leaders redoubled their efforts to pry antislavery dissidents from the major parties. In the process Liberty men paved the way for a broader anti-Slave Power coalition and helped found the Free Soil Party in 1848. A small but dedicated Free Soil congressional bloc then built on Liberty tactics to further harness congressional debate as a platform for dramatizing the Slave Power's control of national policymaking. When the 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act roused northern voters and deranged once-stable party allegiances, Free Soil leaders in and out of Congress seized on the opportunity to spearhead a party uniting all opponents of the Slave Power. In helping propel this new Republican Party to northern preeminence by 1856, erstwhile Liberty men and Free Soilers finally foresaw the end of the Slave Power's national supremacy, and, ultimately, of slavery itself.

History

This dissertation is a study of free African American politics, in the cities of Baltimore and Philadelphia, between 1817 and 1863. At the heart of this black politics were efforts to assert the right of free African Americans to citizenship in their native United States. Claims on the ambiguous notion of citizenship were important to free blacks both as a means of improving their own lives and as a way to combat slavery. The dissertation begins with the organized black protest against the founding of the American Colonization Society. The contest over the notion, advanced by the ACS, that free blacks were not truly American, or that they could not ever be citizens in the land of their birth, powerfully shaped the language and tactics of black politics. The dissertation ends with the enlistment of black troops in the Civil War, a development which powerfully shaped subsequent arguments for full black citizenship. It argues that in this period, free African Americans developed a rhetorical language of black nativism, the assertion that birth on American soil and the contribution of one's ancestors to the American nation, had won for African Americans the right to be citizens of the United States. This assertion was made even more resonant by the increasing levels of white immigration during this period; African Americans pointed to the injustice of granting to white immigrants that which was denied to native born blacks. This discourse of nativism served as a means of weaving the fight for black citizenship into the fabric of American politics. The dissertation also argues that the cities of Philadelphia and Baltimore were part of a distinctive borderland where the issues of slavery and black citizenship were particularly explosive, and where free African Americans, therefore, found themselves with significant political leverage.

▼ The written history of the United States Civil War provides limited analysis on the topic of desertion and execution for desertion in the Army of the Potomac. The specific numbers involved are well documented. With the exception of occasional narratives on the executions themselves, there is no examination of the human decisions taken; beginning with the soldier’s choice to desert. In addition, while the military court-martial trial was rigid in its structure and process, it allowed for discretion in the sentencing phase. Human choice exerted its greatest influence in the aftermath of the trial as the sentence was reviewed up through the military chain of command. Ultimately, the case would arrive at the desk of President Abraham Lincoln; the final arbitrator of life or death. Fortunately for the convicted, they had a compassionate Commander in Chief and President Lincoln personally intervened in hundreds of their cases. There were over 200,000 incidents of desertion from the Union Armies during the Civil War. Desertion and other crimes resulted in 75,961 court-martial trials and 1,883 soldiers were sentenced to be executed. A total of 265 men were executed and 147 of those were for desertion. This paper provides a micro history of eight soldiers from Massachusetts regiments executed for desertion. They are contrasted against seven soldiers from Massachusetts regiments pardoned for the same capital crime of desertion. Extrapolating the data elements of the accused, along with their trial testimonies, allows for the identification of three major factors that influenced whether a soldier who deserted was executed or pardoned. A second contribution to the historical record on the Civil War is the identification of the personal data elements found in these men’s lives. By consolidating these elements, such as place of birth, a profile of the typical deserter emerges. This deserter profile can be contrasted against a historically codified profile of a typical Union soldier. Ultimately, while these deserters were denigrated for their crime of desertion, they deserve to have their stories heard. In doing so, it is possible to identify who these men really were and what their role was in the United States Civil War.

▼ West Virginia imposed state prohibition on its citizens on July 1, 1914. While the transition to a dry society was relatively quiet in the days leading up to July 1, this tranquility belied the sixty-year battle waged between Mountain State "wets" and "drys" over liquor proscription. Beginning in the 1850s among evangelical Protestants, the anti-liquor movement pushed for different levels of alcohol proscription. By the 1880s, drys were pushing for a state prohibitory amendment to the West Virginia Constitution. The legislative efforts of these pre-progressive agitators failed on multiple occasions. This political disappointment peaked with the statewide rejection of a prohibition referendum in 1888. In short, while teetotalers were able to secure local and county-level prohibition via ordinances and commission elections and chip away at the saloon trade through incremental adjustments to state liquor law, West Virginia was not yet ready to climb aboard the water wagon.;Around the turn of the twentieth century, Mountain State drys had activated a more sophisticated and well-funded propaganda campaign. The key to this development was the founding of the West Virginia Anti-Saloon League. Better organization was not enough, however, to explain why West Virginians would eventually authorize state liquor proscription in 1912. The Mountain State also experienced a rapid form of industrialization that changed its socioeconomic and political environment. These changes enhanced a philosophical shift from a laissez-faire, Gilded Age sensibility defined by intense political and social localism to an outlook more closely aligned with Progressive-era activism. In other words, before the turn of the twentieth century, West Virginians accepted localized liquor proscription, but tended to avoid more bureaucratic or statewide anti-alcohol fixes. Once industrialization hit and progressivism seeped in, however, Mountain State residents were more likely to accept the idea of imposing their beliefs on their neighbors.;In 1912, West Virginia voters overwhelmingly authorized a constitution amendment providing for statewide prohibition. Unfortunately for drys, in spite of their best efforts at closing off loopholes and plugging the dam, the Mountain State was never as dry as the Yost Law dictated. Bureaucratic inefficiency, corruption, and widespread illicit distilling delegitimized the law in the eyes of many West Virginians. By the time progressivism waned and America entered the Great Depression, most Americans – Mountain State citizens included – wanted state and federal prohibition to go away. West Virginians repealed national prohibition in 1933 and the Yost Law in 1934.;The rise and fall of prohibition in West Virginia lends valuable insight and complexity to many of the Mountain State's post-bellum social, economic, and political struggles. "Vending Vice" is the story of the temporary victory of northern industrialization and centralized bureaucracy over southern Bourbon Democracy and localism. This tension existed in numerous… Advisors/Committee Members: Elizabeth Fones-Wolf, Ken Fones-Wolf, Jack Hammersmith.

▼ This study explores the atomic identity and nuclear politics of Richlanders and Tri-Citians through an analysis of the collision points between local atomic culture, federal nuclear policy, and the antinuclear environmental movement. Between 1943 and 1989, nuclear supporters in the Tri-Cities and in the nation moved from the center to the outskirts of American politics and values. Pronuclear Tri-Citians in the early post-war period influenced the course of federal nuclear policy in their efforts to maintain and grow the local economy. By the 1980s, however, the political and cultural power of pronuclear Tri-Citians decreased as the nation moved away from nuclear power and limited the production of atomic bomb-making materials. This national realignment pushed pronuclear Tri-Citians toward the conservative antienvironmental camp. Deeply rooted in the community's Manhattan Project heritage and World War II victory narrative, pronuclear Tri-Citians' environmental politics developed in relation to their work at Hanford, the geopolitical division in Washington state, and the modern environmental movement. Using the experiences of pronuclear Richlanders and Tri-Citians, I show how divisions over nuclear technology contributed to the state's and the nation's growing political and cultural divide. While Richland and the Tri-Cities were not unique in their allegiance to nuclear power or dependence on federal money, the community's relative isolation, the profound effects of the Manhattan Project on the area, and the ongoing economic and psychological dependence of the community on Hanford, render these cities an excellent case study of the long-term political and cultural effects of atomic production. The antinuclear environmental movement's message characterized Hanford as a source of danger and cast Hanford's managers, scientists, and engineers as sinister atomic secret keepers. This image stood in stark contrast to the community's vision of themselves as World War II heroes and Cold War patriots, and investigating the points of conflict between these two narratives brings to the fore nuclear technology's role in the culture wars and growing division between conservative and liberal Americans.

▼ Capital and Culture: William Wilson Corcoran and the Making of Nineteenth-Century America explores the fascinating life of one of the nation's earliest and most successful political insiders, financiers, philanthropists, and shapers of the emerging cultural elite. Corcoran helped establish and normalize many important components of modern American culture. He played a key role in stabilizing and merchandizing U.S. financial securities at home and abroad and was responsible for significant developments in public debt war finance. He was also successful as one of the first professional lobbyists in the capital city. Corcoran encouraged and legitimated American landscape painting and probably established the country's first true art gallery. Corcoran's tireless efforts to improve the nation's capital were a remarkable early model of urban development. His dedication to landscaping the emerging National Mall predates such plans for New York's Central Park, which scholars often characterize as the oldest urban park in a major American city. A generation before Carnegie and Rockefeller spent vast sums of money on large donations, Corcoran helped shape American philanthropy. He gave away the majority of his fortune in major gifts to institutions and to needy individuals. Corcoran was among the first philanthropists to expand charity's reach beyond one's immediate community and he established a pattern of national giving across specific areas of interest or need. Corcoran championed a view of national reconciliation and southern repair simultaneously born out of the Civil War. He formulated a patriotic and nationalist view of a united America, but nonetheless developed and supported efforts to rebuild southern institutions destroyed by the conflict. Corcoran's adroit utilization of networks combined the personal and professional in ways that were both a key to his success and ahead of his time. At the seat of American politics and power for more than half a century, Corcoran effectively transcended region and faction. His connections to money and power on the one hand, and to art and cultural leadership on the other, created sophisticated and long-standing networks distinct from traditional kinship groups that Corcoran used to his advantage years before such actions became commonplace.

▼ From 1661-1676, a new merchant-planter elite emerged in Maryland. Like any successful merchants in the seventeenth century, they built and maintained extensive networks within the Province and throughout the Atlantic World. Faced with dramatically different conditions in the Chesapeake, they adapted their practices in innovative ways that foreshadowed developments that would not take firm hold until after the 1720s. As they confronted the economic uncertainty inherent in reliance upon a single, marginally profitable cash crop, they moved to diversify their economic endeavors not only within their trade but also in their agricultural endeavors, and into other fields as well, such as the Indian trade and into careers at law. As the leading members of the community, they came to enter and dominate politics, where the Calverts cultivated their loyalty with patronage appointments. And in the crisis months of the late summer and autumn of 1676, the leading men of this new elite were in charge. Half of the Delegates to the Assembly were merchant-planters, as were two-thirds of the Council. And one of their own, Thomas Notley, sat as Governor.In the face of the crisis Governor Notley, with a secure power-base, was swift and decisive in his actions to protect both Marylanders and the Calvert Government. After the immediate crisis had passed, Notley pursued a pragmatic and thoughtful policy of addressing the concerns and passing reforms that had long been desired by opponents to the Calverts’ rule. Thomas Notley was a most unusual leader in 1676, bridging both the proprietary and anti-proprietary parties in Maryland. Maryland did not implode in 1676 as Virginia did because a deeply interconnected merchant-planter community that had built strong ties among the poorer Marylanders through their trade had come to dominate the government just at that critical moment. Those connections enabled them to maintain the trust of most Marylanders in the face of the crisis. Advisors/Committee Members: Newell, Margaret (Advisor).
