Full text

Abstract:

During the eighteenth century, African slavery played a fundamental role in the lives of settlers in the Illinois Country. The master class viewed slavery in terms of control meaning the complete domination of the slave system. Lawmakers, first the French bureaucracy and later (to a lesser extent) the Americans, pursued control through legislation. The most notable slave code was the French, Code Noir de la Louisiane, which tried to specifically address every conceivable slave situation. French settlers in the area also sought control of the slave system through the selective implementation of the law. African-descended people viewed slavery in terms of power. Slavery created imbalances in the lives of these people that they tried to rectify through accessing both spiritual and temporal power. The mode of accessing spiritual power that African-descended enslaved people in the Illinois Country used demonstrates a West-Central-African mindset and is best understood within the context of the African Atlantic Diaspora. Though the Illinois Country changed colonial hands several times from 1673 to 1818, the population makeup and slave system remained relatively unchanged until the massive influx of American settlers at the turn of the nineteenth century. During the beginning of the American administration of the Illinois Country, some French slaveholders integrated into the American indenture system, others remained aloof, and most moved to the Missouri side of the Mississippi River. The coming of the Americans eventually brought about the end of the French settlers and their enslaved people as separately identifiable entities in the Illinois Country.

Full text

Abstract:

Four municipalities in DuPage County, Illinois were selected for study to determine the effects of zoning on housing that is affordable to low and moderate-income groups, and to suggest possible recommendations to achieve some inclusiveness by providing a wide range of housing options.Though Woodridge, Naperville and Villa Park appear to have made progress in terms of providing housing choices for low and moderate income groups, there exist some limited opportunities to increase affordable housing in these communities. Oak Brook is most exclusionary. It provides no opportunities for low and moderate-income groups that work in that community, even though it is a major employment center. This creates difficulties for entry job seekers and other low groups that want to live in these communities.The recommendations are specifically tailored to each community in terms of what the community could realistically do, in view of the limited land available for development. This study is intended to renew interest in zoning and affordable housing, and lead to zoning reforms in communities in DuPage County, Illinois.

Full text

Abstract:

Giddings cores on upland areas indicate the Evansville Quadrangle includes both pre-Illinois and Illinois Episode glacial ice advances. Upland stratigraphy predominantly consists of Wisconsin Episode loess overlying Illinois Episode diamicton overlying bedrock or bedrock residuum. At one site in the northern part of the quadrangle, pre-Illinois diamicton is distinguished from Illinois diamicton by the presence of the Yarmouth Geosol. Pre-Illinois and Illinois Episode glacial boundaries (or diamicton boundaries) exist in the Evansville Quadrangle. The pre-Illinois Episode diamicton boundary includes the northern portion of the quadrangle, whereas the Illinois Episode diamicton boundary exists below 167.6 m (550 feet) on the uplands in the southern part of the quadrangle. However, Illinois Episode ice may have advanced farther south at lower elevations in the Kaskaskia River valley. The Kaskaskia River valley contains a modern floodplain, as well as at least three separate terraces resulting from alternating periods of aggradation and incision in the Kaskaskia Valley. The uppermost terrace is an Illinois Episode terrace occurring from approximately 129.5 - 134.1+ m (425 - 440+ feet), and consists of Peoria Silt overlying Roxana Silt overlying outwash sands of the Pearl Formation. The middle terrace is Wisconsin Episode in age occurring from 121.9 - 129.5 m (400 - 425 feet), and consists of the Peoria Silt overlying the Equality Formation. The Equality Formation was deposited in a slackwater lake that formed as a result of backflooding of the Kaskaskia River during flooding events of the Mississippi River. A low terrace and floodplain are Holocene in age. The Holocene terrace occurs from 117.3 - 121.9 m (385 - 400 feet), and consists of thin Cahokia Formation (clayey facies) overlying the Equality Formation. This terrace represents a back swamp created as slackwater lake levels rose in the Kaskaskia Valley. Finally, a floodplain deposit of the Kaskaskia River occurs at 117.3 m (385 feet) or less. Bedrock exposures are relatively limited but were observed in stream beds, such as Little Nine Mile Creek (a tributary stream of the Kaskaskia River) in the southeastern part of the quadrangle. Exposed bedrock also occurs along the bluffs of the Mississippi River and could occur in sinkholes close to the land surface, although sinkhole geology was not investigated for this study.

Edison, Jeffrey. "The Forgotten County| St. Clair County, Illinois, in 1968." Thesis, Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10793882.

Full text

Abstract:

1968 was a tumultuous year where Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy were assassinated, the Democratic National Convention in Chicago had protests, and the election of Richard Nixon shaped the next four years. The mainstream media overshadowed the local interpretation of these events. Mid-sized cities like St. Louis have largely been ignored by the mainstream media and modern scholarship. St. Louis is a complex case because it includes the city, the county, and the greater Metro East region which lies in the neighboring state of Illinois. Unlike other major cities and their suburbs, cities in the St. Louis region consider themselves separate from the city even though there is a clear influence from the city. An examination of St. Clair County, Illinois in the Metro East will show how the complexity goes even deeper. Three cities in St. Clair County, Illinois shared their opinions about the major events in 1968, and their different interpretations of these events leads to a unique window into social and racial sentiments within the county. Each city represents one aspect of St. Clair County life. East St. Louis represents a largely African American industrial suburb of St. Louis, O’Fallon was the predominant white rural farm and mining area of the county, and Belleville represents the blend of a city suburb and the rural country life.

The few previous historians who have done research on this region focused mainly on one city in the Metro East to exemplify the whole, and East St. Louis is used as the focal point of St. Clair County. I will not solely rely on one city to give an overarching concept, but three distinct cities with different economic and population makeups. Through my research on newspaper editorials on a micro level, I demonstrate the larger trend of these sentiments in the Midwest that go largely unnoticed by the larger media in 1968.

Hebenstreit, Lisa. "Conservation Status of the Illinois Chorus Frog (Pseudacris illinoensis) in Madison County, Illinois." Thesis, Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10844395.

Full text

Abstract:

The Illinois Chorus Frog (Pseudacris illinoensis) is a state-threatened species that has been impacted by development. Pseudacris illinoensis is found in nine counties in Illinois, predominately along the Illinois River, however, there is an isolated population in Madison County. The population once spanned 15 km², into Granite City and South Roxana, but is now is limited to one isolated population near a mitigation site that was purchased in 1996 for the development of Interstate 255. The last population estimate was in 2002 and was estimated to be 245 individuals and the current status is unknown. This study was conducted to help to preserve a future for this population by evaluating population demography, population range, road mortality, and locating breeding habitat. Mobile Road Surveys were conducted in the Spring of 2015, 2016, and 2018. Four ponds were seined in 2016 to check for successful reproduction. Coordinates were taken for all sightings, choruses, and road mortalities. Maps were created using ArcMap to compare range and areas frogs are most likely to cross the road. Minimum Convex Polygon was used to compare historical range versus present range. Population was unable to be estimated during this study due to lack of recaptures. Females had significantly greater body mass but nonsignificant snout-vent lengths when compared to males. Using Kruskal-Wallis, a segmented survey map showed a significant difference of frogs in the road, with the most near the mitigation site. Minimum Convex polygon showed that there has been a 61% reduction of the range in Madison County. Seining confirmed fish in every pond except one site. It is important that this population be monitored continuously because there is development in the immediate area (less than 0.025 miles from the mitigation site). Future studies should include a population estimate and locations of travel corridors using PIT tags and radio telemetry. Breeding habitat and travel corridors are important land acquisitions to consider.

Abstract:

Fire has been an important influence on the structure and health of the North American grasslands for hundreds of years. In Jersey County Illinois, two natural loess hill prairies were studied to compare the effectiveness of varying management regimes. The purpose was to determine how a burn vs. a nonburn management regime enhances or hinders the establishment of the prairie grasses and forbs in a tallgrass hill prairie ecosystem. The variables studied included: the vegetational abundance, the frequency, and the biomass of the species that were present. In addition the soil's organic matter content and pH were measured. Overall, the Fire Road Prairie, or the unburned prairie, proved to be the community that was deteriorating and becoming unproductive. Whereas, the Osage Prairie contained a balance of grasses and forbs that were representative of a healthy and thriving community. The data supported the existing theory that a burn management plan does help the overall stability and productivity of a tallgrass ecosystem.

Abstract:

Chapter 1 explores the theatrical context of 1930s country music on radio, specifically daily and weekly shows, including the National Barn Dance, on Chicago’s WLS. Similar to vaudeville, radio programmed the diverse strands of vernacular expression with music (including Western art music) that pointed to the high and popular aesthetics of the middle-class mainstream. With an emphasis on reception, this chapter demonstrates that listeners debated the merits of early country music as well as other musical styles and genres with a class-based understanding of aesthetics. The syncretic nature and theatrical characters of early country music (such as the singing mountaineer, the crooning cowboy, and the rustic buffoon) fit radio’s attempts to negotiate the crossing and blurring of the serious and the popular, the urban and the rural, and the sentimental and the parodic. Thus, through the technology of radio, early country music first secured a place in the American consciousness by rubbing against other styles and genres that transgressed cultural and musical divides.

Abstract:

Patrick Henry ordered Col. George Rogers Clark to take the Illinois country for Virginia in January 1778. Using Fort Pitt information and Spanish support secured by Henry, his Illinois Regiment surprised the largely French population at Kaskaskia, Cahokia, and Vincennes in July. After British governor, Henry Hamilton, brought a Detroit force to recapture Vincennes, Clark led his 170-man army through “a drowned country” in February 1779 to retake Vincennes and capture its commander. The British surrender of Vincennes survives among the most important events of the American Revolution, as it nullified the Crown’s plan to capture the American West before trapping Washington on the east coast. The new country’s ability to hold the territory through the Treaty of Paris negotiations also secured the Old Northwest territory for the United States.

Abstract:

This chapter connects the growth of the American starring system in the 1830s to the expansion of trans-Appalachian markets and the popularization of new female-centered repertoire from Europe. The national reach of “big stars” like Ellen Tree and Celeste Elliott created the context in which women and girls pursued starring careers by introducing new breeches roles in melodramas and English opera and dance featuring female spectacle. The case study of St. Louis, Missouri, demonstrates how western theaters depended upon recruiting stars even as managers and critics remained ambivalent about some of this new entertainment. Although they did not always enjoy professional autonomy, starring women ensured the economic viability of western theater while using these markets to expand their repertoire and renown.

Abstract:

Chapter 7 positions the commercial success of female country artists and the narratives of honky-tonk music against the marketing strategies of 1950s country music. As the country music industry strove for commercial acceptance in the popular music market, it promoted its male (including Hank Williams and Webb Pierce) and female performers (such as Kitty Wells, Jean Shepard, and Goldie Hill) as examples of middle-class propriety. This chapter argues that the contradictions between the lyrical themes of honky-tonk music and the 1950s tropes of domesticity used in marketing individual country artists spoke of and assuaged the anxieties and tensions of social class and geographical migration for an audience of displaced white southerners.

Abstract:

The Illinois trailer park has generous lots, amenities, and liberal pet rules. Choosing this trailer park over alternative local options highlights parental priorities for: affordable housing and children’s access to a quality education. But the adjacent town resists formally incorporating this bordering large park. Prioritizing homeownership, country living, and education are values Illinois park folk share with those in nearby upscale subdivisions. They uniformly believe, however, they are scorned, by the townspeople, who stigmatize them as trailer-trash, because of where they live. That stigma particularly creates a soiled identity for park youth.

Abstract:

Chapter 2 focuses on Lulu Belle’s 1930s radio career on WLS’s National Barn Dance as the first female radio star to embody the parodies of southern culture and early country music. Connecting her theatrics and vocal styling to a history of vaudevillian comediennes, this chapter explores Lulu Belle’s early radio performances of unruly hillbilly characters, such as the naive country girl or the man-hungry gal. In her highly publicized marriage to Scotty Wiseman, Lulu Belle’s rustic domestic image was easily conflated with notions of nostalgia, sentimentality, and romance. However, this did not prevent her from slipping in and out of roles to play the part of the demanding, comic wench or the flirtatious mountain gal. Her protean transformations persisted throughout her radio career and into film, helping give shape to historic performative models for women in country music.

Abstract:

This essay calls into question the notion of labeling and how it relates to the general categorization of the Italian post-World War II immigrant to the United States. It examines through a semiotic lens the notion of Italian and how that adjective can be both restrictive as well as very broad in its adoption. This essay further proposes a new way to consider the “migrant” writer, be that person one who has left Italy for another country or who has arrived from another country in order to settle in Italy.

Abstract:

The Midwest railroad network connected almost every major city by 1860, accounting for 36% of the United States (U.S.) railroad network mileage. Indiana became famous for the first Union Station in the world, as well as for one of the most developed and luxurious interurban rail system in the U.S. The twentieth century drastically transformed the picture, endowing the country with well-developed and world class highway and aviation networks, but leaving Indiana with a limited passenger rail network. Today, the Hoosier State line, which operates between Indianapolis, Indiana and Chicago, Illinois, is in danger of elimination. As of October 2013, the State of Indiana, local communities, and Amtrak reached an agreement to support the Hoosier State line, an agreement recently extended through January 2015. Amtrak is hesitant to support the corridor, doubting its economic viability. In response, the Indiana Department of Transportation (DOT) was the first nationally to announce a Request for Proposals (1404s1) under the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act in order to obtain competitive bids for the operation of the Hoosier State line. Recent studies suggest that the improvement and enhancement of the Midwest regional rail system to allow higher speeds has the potential to significantly benefit the area. The route from Chicago to Cincinnati via Indianapolis is a strong candidate among the possible routes in the Midwest, and within the second tier nationwide. Studies also suggest that such an upgrade can return great user benefits, reduce travel times, and bring significant regional economic benefits supporting the creation of new permanent jobs in Indiana. This paper presents the chronicle of passenger rail transportation in the U.S., Midwest, and Indiana in particular, from the early 1830s to the recent attempts of the State of Indiana to sustain the Hoosier line. This paper also investigates the effect of the community’s support on Indiana’s passenger rail evolution, as well as the potential of “higher” speed rail in the state.

Abstract:

Groundwater source heat pumps exploit the difference between the ground surface temperature and the nearly constant temperature of shallow groundwater. This project characterizes two areas for geothermal heating and cooling potential, Mason County in central Illinois and the American Bottoms area in southwestern Illinois. Both areas are underlain by thick sand and gravel aquifers and groundwater is readily available. Weather data, including monthly high and low temperatures and heating and cooling degree days, were compiled for both study areas. The heating and cooling requirements for a single-family house were estimated using two independent models that use weather data as input. The groundwater flow rates needed to meet these heating and cooling requirements were calculated using typical heat pump coefficient of performance values. The groundwater in both study areas has fairly high hardness and iron concentrations and is close to saturation with calcium and iron carbonates. Using the groundwater for cooling may induce the deposition of scale containing one or both of these minerals.
