Abstract:

The Tuscarora War marked a major turning point in the development of proprietary North Carolina. Beginning in 1711 and continuing for two years, the war rendered the central coastal plains a virtual wasteland and plunged the colony into an economic recession. Only the arrival of South Carolina troops in 1712 and 1713 saved North Carolina from complete destruction.;While the defeat of the Tuscaroras marked the end of their dominance along the North Carolina coastal plains, the war also served as a major catalyst behind political, economic, and demographic developments in the colony. During the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, proprietary neglect, coupled with the absence of an overseas trade, hindered early commercial development and led to chronic political instability. On the eve of the war, the colony was in the midst of a civil revolt as leaders from the Albemarle region vied with religious opponents and political competitors in Bath County for control of the government.;The war affected the political scenario of the colony insofar as it enabled the Albemarle elite to dominate the government. Albemarle officials used their newfound power to strengthen colonial institutions and establish their independence from the proprietors. The period of growth not only led to a trade boom in the 1720s but also led to the expansion of western and southern settlement along former Tuscarora territories.;Although the war provided the Albemarle elite with opportunities to promote the public interest as well as their personal fortunes, it did not end political factionalization. The removal of the Tuscaroras and the growth of the colonial economy attracted newcomers to the Cape Fear region whose commercial wealth was equal to if not greater than that of the Albemarle elite. as the Cape Fear planters began to infiltrate the colonial government, Albemarle leaders again resorted to factional and individualistic politics. By the end of the proprietary period, North Carolina had entered a new phase of factional politics that would continue until the mid-eighteenth century.

Shaw, Hunter D. "For home and country Confederate nationalism in western North Carolina." Master's thesis, University of Central Florida, 2010. http://digital.library.ucf.edu/cdm/ref/collection/ETD/id/4583.

Full text

Abstract:

This study examines Confederate nationalism in Western North Carolina during the Civil War. Using secondary sources, newspapers, civilian, and soldiers' letters, this study will show that most Appalachians demonstrated a strong loyalty to their new Confederate nation. However, while a majority Appalachian Confederates maintained a strong Confederate nationalism throughout the war; many Western North Carolinians were not loyal to the Confederacy. Critically analyzing Confederate nationalism in Western North Carolina will show that conceptions of loyalty and disloyalty are not absolute, in other words, Appalachia was not purely loyal or disloyal.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the life and political career of Henry Toole Clark, the second of North Carolina?s three Civil War governors. Clark served one term as the state?s chief executive from July 1861 to September 1862, a crucial period in which North Carolina established itself as a constituent member of the Confederate States and first suffered the hardships of war. As the leader of the state in that formative period, he mobilized thousands of troops for the Southern cause, established the first, and only, Confederate prison in North Carolina, arranged the production of salt for the war effort, created European purchasing connections, and built a successful and important gunpowder mill. Clark, however, found more success as an administrator than as a political figure. The Edgecombe County planter devoted over twenty years to the service of the Democratic Party at the local, state, and national levels, and over ten years as a state senator. As governor, he was unable to maneuver in the new political world ushered in by the Civil War, and he retired abruptly from public service at the end of his term. Clark?s life and career offer insight into the larger world of the antebellum planter-politician, that dominant group of southern leaders who led the region into dependence upon slavery and, ultimately, to war. Though the planter class was diverted from power for a brief time during Reconstruction, the political and racial ideology of that class would shape conservative white southern thought for the next hundred years.

Abstract:

About twelve miles to the south of Newfoundland's Burin Peninsula, there are two small islands, called St. Pierre and Miquelon which have belonged to France for nearly four centuries. In June of 1940 when France succumbed to the onslaught of the Nazis, the territory, like all other French holdings in the New World, fell under the control of the Vichy French government. But on December 24th, 1941, the Islands were seized by a Free French Naval task force acting under the direction of Charles de Gaulle, who had ordered this action not only in direct contradiction to the expressed wishes of the Allies, but also after having specifically assured them that he would not attempt to undertake such a move. The result was a serious diplomatic crisis, the ramifications of which far outweighed any importance the Islands themselves may have had. For by seizing this territory de Gaulle had brought himself into direct conflict with U.S. policy regarding the Western Hemisphere and, in addition, created great difficulties between the Allies over the issue of U.S. recognition of Vichy, versus British support for de Gaulle.
This thesis, then, will examine the events which led up to this crisis, and will attempt to ascertain what significance, if any, it had on the conduct of the war as a whole.

Harrell, Maegan K. "Parallel Identities: Southern Appalachia and the Southern Concepts of Gender During the American Civil War." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2014. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/2407.

Full text

Abstract:

Southern concepts of gender influenced Appalachian society throughout the antebellum and Civil War eras. Concepts of masculinity and femininity, including “the cult of true womanhood” and Southern manhood, shifted and broaden throughout the South due to wartime stressors. Appalachians adjusted these gender roles in order to survive chaos and turmoil in their region. The brutal political and community divisions, high rates of desertion, guerilla warfare, and threats of invasion in the mountain regions intensified these concepts of gender. Southern constructions of gender molded the Appalachian experience of war but the high level of conflict strengthened these new roles as a means of survival.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is a case study aimed at a key argument in the emerging field of Civil War medical and environmental history. While historians have long acknowledged disease as a major killer during the Civil War, only recently have environmental and medical historians turned their collective attentions to unpacking the complex interconnections of disease, environmental conditions, and culture. By examining the 58th North Carolina Infantry Regiment from the mountains of western North Carolina, this thesis asserts that the combined role of the disease environment and conditions in military camps created the massive outbreaks of disease that characterized the seasoning process of the regiment. Furthermore, the soldiers were practical in their response to conditions, weighing family, nation, and other factors in the face of death. When the threat of disease combined with personal and other factors, many soldiers deserted or took other actions of self-preservation over loyalty to the Confederacy.

Thomas, Peter R. Jr. "Camp, Combat, and Campaign: North Carolina's Confederate Experience." UNF Digital Commons, 2015. http://digitalcommons.unf.edu/etd/586.

Abstract:

This research examines a sample of North Carolina Confederates as they transitioned from citizen to soldier between 1861 and 1863 during the American Civil War, and it questions how levels of commitment and devotion emerged during this transformation. North Carolina Confederates not only faced physical and emotional challenges as they transitioned from citizen to soldier, but also encountered social obstacles due to the strict social order of the Old South. Orthodoxy maintains this social dissent hindered any form of solidarity among North Carolina Confederates. The question remains, though, why did so many North Carolinians remain committed to the Confederacy until death or surrender? This thesis addresses that question. It acknowledges traditional works on North Carolina’s Civil War experience, however it focuses on the war front more closely. By examining soldiers’ personal reflections to experiences encountered during their transition more understanding concerning soldiers’ shifting perceptions emerge. This thesis encapsulates a soldier’s transition through three stages: camp, combat, and campaign. Each stage offers insight into how perceptions toward fellow men, the home front, combat, and camp-life changed over time. Soldiers were exposed to unprecedented levels of fear, sickness, death, and nostalgia that shook their foundations. Levels of commitment were questioned as men encountered each obstacle. The reflections herein indicate men’s devotion actually increased by 1863 by engaging the basic duties of soldiering and learning to function together in the midst of combat. Self-awareness for health and survival, hard work, and camp life activities took on new meanings by 1863. Furthermore, this sample offers an example of how the constant interactions of men whether in camp or on the battlefield ultimately strengthened solidarity among troops. This thesis pays particular attention to soldiers’ attachments to natural landscapes, and their abilities to materially alter landscapes for the purposes of survival and respite. These North Carolinians reveal how experiences during their transition from citizen to soldier ultimately laid a foundation to remain committed to the war.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis deals with the life and career and intimate life of Francis Carroll Grevemberg, an antiaircraft World War II officer from New Orleans, Louisiana. Grevemberg joined the Louisiana National Guard in 1932 and began his military career in the midst of the Great Depression. In the reorganization of the U.S. Army before World War II, the War Department transformed Grevemberg's cavalry regiment into a coastal artillery battalion with antiaircraft capability. During World War II, Grevemberg saw continuous action in the North Africa, Italy and Southern France. He regularly wrote letters from battlefields to his wife Dorothy. These letters provide a important window into a young officer's feelings, thoughts and affection in the unfolding of World War II. They are documents of a soldier's emotional release during times of crises. Lt. Col. Grevemberg is a rare, World War II antiaircraft artillery officer who took part and survived five amphibious landings in the Mediterranean.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the effect regionalism had upon North Carolina and Virginia during the 1847-1862 legislative battles over the Danville, Virginia, to Greensboro, North Carolina, railroad connection. The first chapter examines the rivalry between eastern and western North Carolina for internal improvement legislation, namely westerners’ wish to connect with Virginia and easterners’ desire to remain economically relevant. The second chapter investigates the Tidewater region of Virginia and its battle against the Southside to create a rail connection with North Carolina. The third chapter examines the legislation for the Danville Connection during the American Civil War in the Virginia, North Carolina, and Confederate legislatures. Through an examination of voting patterns and public opinion, this thesis finds that, despite Confederate President Jefferson Davis’s designation of the Danville connection as a military necessity, regionalism overcame Confederate nationalism during this instance.

Full text

Abstract:

L’histoire des commerçants « nord-africains » dans le département du Rhône de 1945 à 1985 connaît deux phases chronologiques. Une première allant de 1945 au milieu des années 1960, avec une prédominance des commerçants originaires d’Algérie et un contexte marqué par la guerre d’indépendance algérienne. Une deuxième s’étend du milieu des années 1960 à 1985, avec une diversification des origines nationales et des activités commerciales, dans un contexte post-colonial et post-industriel. Un premier axe traite de l’évolution de leurs statuts et de la législation commerciale. L’analyse porte également sur les pratiques de contrôle et de surveillance pendant la guerre d’Algérie puis après les indépendances nationales. Un deuxième axe s’intéresse aux activités commerciales, à leurs caractéristiques et à leurs évolutions. Le croisement des approches quantitatives et qualitatives permet de distinguer les réseaux à l’œuvre dans l’accès au monde du petit commerce et à certaines spécialisations commerciales. Enfin, un troisième axe s’intéresse à l’étude des trajectoires socioprofessionnelles ainsi qu’à leur implantation spatiale. Quels rôles jouent-ils au sein de leur communauté d’origine et dans la société d’accueil ? Quels étaient leurs fonctions spécifiques ou non ? Peut-on parler d’une certaine « élite » économique, sociale ou même politique ? Existe-t-il une identité spécifique aux commerçants originaires du Maghreb ? Ces questions amènent à interroger les contours d’un éventuel groupe social à part entière ou d’une catégorie sociale spécifique ou non
The history of "North African" traders in the Rhône department from 1945 to 1985 has two chronological phases. The first goes from 1945 to the mid-1960s, with a predominance of traders from Algeria and a context marked by the Algerian War of Independence. A second extends from the mid-1960s to 1985, with a diversification of national origins and commercial activities, in a post-colonial and post-industrial context. A first axis deals with the evolution of their statutes and commercial legislation. The analysis also covers control and surveillance practices during the Algerian war and after national independence. A second axis focuses on commercial activities, their characteristics and their evolution. The crossing of quantitative and qualitative approaches makes it possible to distinguish the networks at work in the access to the world of small-scale trade and to certain commercial specialisations. Finally, a third axis is interested in the study of socio-professional trajectories and their spatial location. What roles do they play within their community of origin and in the host society? What were their specific functions or not? Can we speak of a certain economic, social or even political "elite"? Is there a specific identity for traders from the Maghreb? These questions lead us to question the contours of a possible social group in its own right or a specific social category or not

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation studies the intersection of knowledge, culture, and power in contested coastal and estuarine space in eighteenth-century northeastern North America. It examines the interdependence of vernacular pilot knowledge and directed hydrographic survey, their integration into practices of warfare and governance, and roles in assimilating American space to metropolitan scientific and aesthetic discourses. It argues that the embodied skill and local knowledge of colonial and Aboriginal peoples served vital and underappreciated roles in Great Britain’s extension of overseas activity and interest, of maritime empire. It examines the maritimicity of empire: empire as adaptation to marine environments through which it conducted political influence and commercial endeavour. The materiality of maritime empire—its reliance on patterns of wind and current, on climate and weather, on local relations of sea to land, on proximity of spaces and resources to oceanic circuits—framed and delimited transnational flows of commerce and state power. This was especially so in coastal and riverine littoral spaces of northeastern North America. In this local Atlantic, pilot knowledge—and its systematization in marine cartography through hydrographic survey—adapted processes of empire to the materiality of the maritime, and especially to the littoral, environment. Eighteenth-century British state agents acting in northeastern North America—in Mi’kmaqi/Acadia/Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, and New England—developed new means of adapting this knowledge to the tasks of maritime empire, creating potent tools with which to extend Britain’s imperial power and influence amphibiously in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. If the open Atlantic became a maritime highway in this period, traversed with increasing frequency and ease, inshore waters remained dangerous bypaths, subject to geographical and meteorological hazards that checked overseas commercial exchange and the military and administrative processes that constituted maritime empire. While patterns of oceanic circulation permitted extension of these activities globally in the early modern period, the complex interrelation of marine and terrestrial geography and climate in coastal and estuarine waters long set limits on maritime imperial activity. This dissertation examines the nature of these limits, and the means that eighteenth-century British commercial and imperial actors developed to overcome them.
