Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alabama Secedes From the Union: An Address If you had been in Montgomery on the fateful night of Tuesday, November 6, 1860, you would have seen the streets of the little city, for then it had only 12,000 people, thronged with citizens and visitors. They were of all sexes, classes and colors; men, women and children, professional men, tradesmen, mechanics and planters; whites and blacks, all serious and anxious. They jostled and crowded each other on the sidewalks. Market Street (now Dexter Avenue) was filled with horsemen and the fine equipages of the wealthy. The lobby of the Exchange Hotel was packed, and the adjoining sidewalks jammed with humanity. Men and women stood anxiously around the telegraph office, and hundreds were about the newspaper offices eagerly scanning each bulletin. Large groups gathered about Estelle Hall. The people generally so happy and carefree, wore looks of disquietude that night, and there was an unwonted seriousness brooding over the city. What was the cause of all the anxiety? Why were the multitudes so grave that night of November 6, 1860? Do you ask me? A presidential election had been held that day, and the people were waiting to know who was to be the future head of the nation. It was a most momentous election, for that day's decision would shake the very foundations of the government. The early hours of the evening had passed. The election returns were coming in slowly. It was now near midnight. The result of the election depended upon the vote of one State. New York had 35 electoral votes. Without her votes Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin, whose political teachings and principles were hostile to the people of Alabama and of the South, could not be elected. Election of Republican Candidates And so, as midnight came on Tuesday, November 6, 1860, the people of Montgomery awaited with deep concern the result of the balloting. No one could safely predict how New York would cast her votes. But now the time is at hand. The ballots have all been counted, and on every tongue is the question, How did New York vote? New York's votes went to Abraham Lincoln. The standard bearer of the Republican Party, elected on a political platform deadly inimical to the civilization of the South, would soon be president of the United States; the affairs of the national government would soon be in the hands of the political foes of the South.

Download or read book The Free State of Winston written by Don Dodd and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a lifetime of researching and writing about their home county of Winston, the husband and wife team of Don and Amy Dodd have crafted a unique pictorial retrospective that conveys a serene sense of what it was like to grow up in the hills of Winston. Outlining the highlights of this Appalachian county's history, from its opposition to the Confederacy to its slow evolution from its rustic, rural roots of the mid-nineteenth century, two hundred photographs illustrate a century of hill country culture. A sparsely settled, isolated county of small farms with uncultivated, forested land, most of Winston County was out of the mainstream of Southern life for much of its history. The creation of the Bankhead National Forest preserved almost 200,000 acres of forested land, primarily in Winston, to perpetuate this "stranded frontier" into the post-World War II era. The story setting is scenic--fast-flowing creeks, waterfalls, bluffs, caves, natural bridges, and dense forests--and the characters match the stage--individualistic, rugged pioneers, more than a thousand mentioned by name within these pages. Winston has long resisted change, has held fast to traditional values, and, as seen in this treasured volume, is a place as unique as any other in America.

Download or read book Loyalty and Loss written by Margaret M. Storey and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2004-09-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though slavery was widespread and antislavery sentiment rare in Alabama, there emerged a small loyalist population, mostly in the northern counties, that persisted in the face of overwhelming odds against their cause. Margaret M. Storey’s welcome study uncovers and explores those Alabamians who maintained allegiance to the Union when their state seceded in 1861—and beyond. Storey’s extensive, groundbreaking research discloses a socioeconomically diverse group that included slaveholders and nonslaveholders, business people, professionals, farmers, and blacks. By considering the years 1861–1874 as a whole, she clearly connects loyalists’ sometimes brutal wartime treatment with their postwar behavior.

Download or read book Alabamians in Blue written by Christopher M. Rein and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alabamians in Blue offers an in-depth scholarly examination of Alabama’s black and white Union soldiers and their contributions to the eventual success of the Union army in the western theater. Christopher M. Rein contends that the state’s anti-Confederate residents tendered an important service to the North, primarily by collecting intelligence and protecting logistical infrastructure. He highlights an underappreciated period of biracial cooperation, underwritten by massive support from the federal government. Providing a broad synthesis, Rein’s study demonstrates that southern dissenters were not passive victims but rather active participants in their own liberation. Ecological factors, including agricultural collapse under levies from both armies, may have provided the initial impetus for Union enlistment. Federal pillaging inflicted further heavy destruction on plantation agriculture. The breakdown in basic subsistence that ensued pushed Alabama’s freedmen and Unionists into federal camps in garrison cities in search of relief and the opportunity for revenge. Once in uniform, Alabama’s Union soldiers served alongside northern regiments and frustrated Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest’s attempts to interrupt the Union supply efforts in the 1864 Atlanta campaign, which led to the collapse of Confederate arms in the western theater and the eventual Union victory. Rein describes a “hybrid warfare” of simultaneous conventional and guerilla battles, where each significantly influenced the other. He concludes that the conventional conflict both prompted and eventually ended the internecine warfare that largely marked the state’s experience of the war. A comprehensive analysis of military, social, and environmental history, Alabamians in Blue uncovers a past of biracial cooperation in the American South, and in Alabama in particular, that postwar adherents to the “Myth of the Lost Cause” have successfully suppressed until now.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secession Movement in Alabama If the focus is at times Shifted to the general Southern movement, it is because the events under consideration, while not peculiar to Alabama, were representative of her interests. Since Alabama frequently followed the lead Of other states, I have endeavored to place her in the proper relation, even if secondary for a time, in order to show the in uence Of those states on her later action. The greater portion of this monograph was submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Of Doctor Of Philosophy at the University of Michigan in June, 1930. Professor Ulrich B. Phillips supervised its preparation from its beginnings until his leave in the summer of 1929. In the following year, Professor Arthur H. Hirsch supervised the work. A number of revisions have since been made, the most extensive being, a more detailed statement in the earlier parts of Chapters I and II, giving the Alabamians' views Of their grievances which underlay the secession movement, the elaboration Of the material in the earlier part Of Chapter III on the economic aspects of secession, and the addition of material in the last chapter giving the way in which the Ordinance of Secession was received by its opponents. Professor Charles W. Ramsdell of the University Of Texas has courteously read the manu script and has given a number of helpful criticisms and suggestions for putting it in its final form.
