Abstract:

AbstractSince 2015, America has witnessed a profound shift in aggregate public sentiments toward Confederate statues and symbols. That shift was keenly felt on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin (UT), culminating in the removal of four such statues in 2015 and 2017. However, an inquiry into their creation points to an equally significant shift in sentiments during the 1920s. UT's statues were commissioned in 1919 by George Littlefield, a Confederate veteran and university regent, as part of a larger war memorial. The ostensible purpose of that memorial was to commemorate veterans of both the Civil War and World War I. However, during the 1920s, a new generation of university leaders rejected Littlefield's design—and with it the assertion that the services of Civil and World War veterans were morally congruent and united in a common historical trajectory. This article tracks the ways in which they quietly and yet profoundly undermined the project, causing it to be significantly delayed and then extensively altered. Meanwhile, students and veterans improvised their own commemorative practices that were in stark contrast to the Confederate generation—the latter wanted to remember, while the former wanted to forget.

Abstract:

Beginning in the 1880s, southern states introduced pensions for Confederate veterans and widows. They expanded these programs through the 1920s, while states outside the region were introducing cash transfer programs for workers, poor mothers, and the elderly. Using pension application records and county-level electoral data, we argue that political considerations guided the distribution of these pensions. We show that Confederate pension programs were funded during years in which Democratic gubernatorial candidates were threatened at the ballot box. Moreover, we show that pensions were disbursed to counties in which these candidates had lost ground to candidates from alternative parties.

Abstract:

The proportion of men aged 65 and older who are willing and able to work declined steadily over the twentieth century. The major factors in the rise of retirement appear to be the increased availability of pensions and the shift out of farming occupations; however, most research on this issue has focused only on the experience of northern men. This article uses data from records of the Georgia Confederate pension program to investigate the effects of pension and occupation on the southern retirement decision in the early twentieth century. An analysis of Union veterans living in the South suggests that regional factors like farm residence had a larger impact on retirement behavior than military pensions. As in the North, increases in wealth, especially among farmers, were associated with a higher probability of retirement.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article, the first detailed scholarly assessment of northern responses to the death of former Confederate President Jefferson Davis in December 1889, contributes to ongoing academic debates over the troubled process of sectional reconciliation after the Civil War. Southern whites used their leader's funeral obsequies to assert not only their affection for the deceased but also their devotion to the Lost Cause that he had championed and embodied. Based on an analysis of northern newspapers and mass-circulation magazines in the two weeks after Davis's death, the essay demonstrates that many northerners, principally Republican politicians and editors, Union veterans, and African Americans, were outraged by southerners’ flagrant willingness to laud a man whom they regarded as the arch-traitor and that they remained opposed to reconciliation on southern terms. However, despite continuing concerns about public displays of affection for the Confederacy evident at the time of Davis's reinterment in Richmond in May 1893, northern opposition to the Lost Cause waned rapidly in the last decade of the nineteenth century. Full-blown sectional reconciliation occurred after the Republicans gave up on their efforts to enforce black voting rights in the South and President William McKinley's imperialist foreign policy necessitated, and to some degree garnered, support from southern whites. The death of Jefferson Davis, therefore, can be seen as an important event in the difficult transition from a heavily sectionalized postwar polity to a North-South rapprochement based heavily on political pragmatism, sentiment, nationalism, and white supremacism.

Abstract:

We study whether paternal trauma is transmitted to the children of survivors of Confederate prisoner of war (POW) camps during the US Civil War (1861–1865) to affect their longevity at older ages, the mechanisms behind this transmission, and the reversibility of this transmission. We examine children born after the war who survived to age 45, comparing children whose fathers were non-POW veterans and ex-POWs imprisoned in very different camp conditions. We also compare children born before and after the war within the same family by paternal ex-POW status. The sons of ex-POWs imprisoned when camp conditions were at their worst were 1.11 times more likely to die than the sons of non-POWs and 1.09 times more likely to die than the sons of ex-POWs when camp conditions were better. Paternal ex-POW status had no impact on daughters. Among sons born in the fourth quarter, when maternal in utero nutrition was adequate, there was no impact of paternal ex-POW status. In contrast, among sons born in the second quarter, when maternal nutrition was inadequate, the sons of ex-POWs who experienced severe hardship were 1.2 times more likely to die than the sons of non-POWs and ex-POWs who fared better in captivity. Socioeconomic effects, family structure, father-specific survival traits, and maternal effects, including quality of paternal marriages, cannot explain our findings. While we cannot rule out fully psychological or cultural effects, our findings are most consistent with an epigenetic explanation.

Abstract:

The American Civil War fractured communities in border states where families who would eventually support the Union or the Confederacy lived together prior to the conflict. We study the subsequent migration choices of Civil War veterans and their families using a unique longitudinal dataset covering enlistees from the border state of Kentucky. Nearly half of surviving Kentucky veterans moved to a new county between 1860 and 1880. We find strong evidence of sorting along ideological dimensions for veterans from both sides of the conflict. However, we find limited evidence of a positive economic return to these relocation decisions.

"Confederate Veterans At Rest: Archeological and Bioacheological Investigations at the Texas State Cemetery, Travis County, Texas." Index of Texas Archaeology Open Access Grey Literature from the Lone Star State, 1996. http://dx.doi.org/10.21112/ita.1996.1.19.

Full text

Abstract:

Since its inception in 1851, the Texas State Cemetery in Austin has risen in stature to become the state's premier burial place for state officials, historical figures, and prominent citizens. Extensive renovation work that began in 1995 necessitated an archeological study that included historic archival research, pedestrian survey, geomorphological assessment, mechanical testing in proposed construction zones, recording and investigation of historical features (including three unmarked graves) found in construction zones, and excavation and relocation of 57 graves of Confederate veterans and spouses. Prewitt and Associates, Inc., conducted these investigations between April and August of 1995. Archival research provides a concise history of the development and historical significance of the 145-year-old State Cemetery. Although it was sometimes neglected and remained an obscure burial place prior to 1900, the current project marks the third major renovation phase to be undertaken this century. The earliest extensive improvements occurred between 1910 and 1915 under the direction of Governor O. B. Colquitt. The second major overhaul, promoted by businessman and historian Louis W. Kemp, occurred during the late 1920s and early 1930s. The 1995-1996 renovations are an interagency cooperative effort, overseen by Lieutenant Governor Bob Bullock and funded in 1995 as a, Statewide Transportation Enhancement Project under the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991. True to the visions of all its supporters, the Texas State Cemetery is destined to be more than a simple burial ground - it is becoming a cemetery-museum for the curation of Texas history. The pedestrian survey and geomorphological investigation yielded nothing unexpected, but subsurface testing uncovered unusual features in two proposed construction zones. Three previously unknown grave pits were exposed in a Gradall trench in the northeastern corner of the cemetery where construction of a cenotaph is planned. Hand testing revealed outlines of wooden coffins that contained no human remains. Archival research uncovered two facts relating to the empty graves: (1) the northeastern 1-acre of the cemetery was set aside between 1866 and ca. 1875 for the burial of Federal soldiers stationed in Austin during the post-Civil War Reconstruction period; and (2) the Federal burials were later exhumed and reinterred in a National Cemetery in San Antonio, Texas. Gradall trenching in the proposed Plaza de los Recuerdos construction zone uncovered extensive concrete curbing associated with a former north-south roadway that entered the cemetery from Seventh Street. Subsequent research identified these features as remnants of Albert Sidney Johnston Avenue, constructed by the short-lived Austin construction firm of Brown & Reissig in 1912-1913 during the Colquitt renovation era. This roadwork was covered over during the 1929-1930 construction of Lou Kemp Highway. The greatest archeological effort involved the moving of historic graves, necessitated by the master renovation plan which called for landscaping to provide a buffer between vehicular traffic along the main cemetery road and the closest graves in Sections D and F. These sections contain the graves of over 2,000 Confederate veterans, soldiers, and wives. Of these, 57 graves fronting along the central roadway were exhumed and reinterred in a safer Iocation in Section D. Headstones associated with each grave, along with additional archival research, provided a great deal of information (minimally name and age at death) on the 1884 to 1951 burials of 51 Confederate veterans and 6 spouses whose remains were excavated. The mortuary artifacts associated with these burials, and detailed osteological analyses on skeletal remains of 56 individuals, are described. The archeological and bioarcheological data reported herein provide a rare look at the evolution of funerary traits during the early twentieth century, as well as insights into the health of an elderly group of people, many of whom fought in and survived the Civil War. Average age at death for the individuals comprising this sample is 77.3 years. An osteological examination of the remains showed that most observable skeletal disorders consisted of age-progressive changes such as arthritis, antemortem tooth loss, and caries. Signs of trauma also were common, with some skeletal conditions interpreted as evidence of war-related wounds.
