Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Politics of Michigan: 1865-1878 An attempt has been made in the following pages to set forth the attitude of Michigan on the leading political issues during the important years from 1865 to 1878. The party interests of the state naturally centered about national questions during this period, but there were certain local issues, such as railroad construction and internal improvement, which also received much attention. Probably the most striking features of Michigan politics at this time were the unbroken dominance of the Republican party, and the prominence of the personal element arising from the unusual characteristics of several of the leaders. My research has been greatly facilitated by many persons who have manifested a kind interest in its progress. Mr. Thomas A. Wilson and Edward W. Barber, of Jackson, Michigan, very kindly contributed many personal reminiscences which were helpful because of their impartiality. Mr. C. M. Burton, of Detroit, Michigan, extended to me the privilege of his excellent private library, containing all the letters and papers of Jacob M. Howard. Among the many persons who assisted me in my research, acknowledgments are due Mr. Gaillard Hunt, Mr. William L. Bishop, and Miss Emily West, of the Library of Congress, and Mr. Byron A. Finney and Miss Fredricka Gillette, of the Library of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I am most deeply indebted, however, to Professor William A. Dunning, of Columbia University, who has rendered the most valuable assistance throughout the preparation of this monograph, by his advice both as to content and as to manner of treatment.

Download or read book Michigan s War written by John W. Quist and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it came to the Civil War, Michiganians never spoke with one voice. At the beginning of the conflict, family farms defined the southern Lower Peninsula, while a sparsely settled frontier characterized the state’s north. Although differing strategies for economic development initially divided Michigan’s settlers, by the 1850s Michiganians’ attention increasingly focused on slavery, race, and the future of the national union. They exchanged charges of treason and political opportunism while wrestling with the meanings of secession, the national union, emancipation, citizenship, race, and their changing economy. Their actions launched transformations in their communities, their state, and their nation in ways that Americans still struggle to understand. Building upon the current scholarship of the Civil War, the Midwest, and Michigan’s role in the national experience, Michigan’s War is a documentary history of the Civil War era as told by the state’s residents and observers in private letters, reminiscences, newspapers, and other contemporary sources. Clear annotations and thoughtful editing allow teachers and students to delve into the political, social, and military context of the war, making it ideal for classroom use.
Download or read book The WPA Guide to Michigan written by Federal Writers' Project and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. Published in 1941, the WPA Guide to Michigan documents the rich history and economies of the Great Lake State. From the Upper Peninsula to the Lower, and the Straits of Mackinac between, the guide features many photographs of the distinctive geography as well as essays about marine lore, architecture, and—in the essay on Detroit—the nation’s burgeoning auto industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With vivid battlefield accounts based on extensive primary research, award-winning author Jack Dempsey's masterful biography tells the amazing story of an unsung hero. Detroit's Alpheus Starkey Williams never tired in service to his city or his country. A veteran of the Mexican-American War, he was a preeminent military figure in Michigan before the Civil War. He was key to the Lost Order, the Battle of Gettysburg, the March to the Sea and the Carolinas Campaign. His generalship at Antietam made possible the Emancipation Proclamation, and Meade and Sherman relied on his unshakable leadership. A steady hand in wartime and in peacetime, Williams was a Yale graduate, lawyer, judge, editor, municipal official, militia officer, diplomat and congressman who stood on principle over party.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To the victors belong the spoils" is a time-honored cliche. When in 1865 northern armies defeated the greatest challenge ever posed to the Union, issues of spoils and peace terms dominated public debate. But precisely what did the victorious North want from the Reconstruction process? Historians generally have shown far less interest in northern goals than in what terms southerners were willing to accept. Robert Sawrey now seeks to redress the balance by examining the post-Civil War attitudes of a representative northern state, Ohio. Sawrey's probing study explores precisely what the key issues were for politically active Ohioans and what they sought in a Reconstruction policy. Through extensive research in contemporary newspapers, manuscripts, legislative debates, and diaries, he offers the most complete picture ever presented of northern attitudes on the two crucial issues of Reconstruction—the terms of readmission and the fate of the former slaves. Ohioans' struggle to find an equation for restoring a Union that now included nearly four million free blacks was complicated, he finds, by their prejudices and their belief in white superiority. Because they regarded the "planter conspiracy" as a primary cause of the war, they sought to assure future peace through control of the planters—a position that compelled them to advocate basic rights for ex-slaves. At the same time, they continued to support white supremacy throughout the nation. To reconcile these contradictory positions was a daunt-ing task. Yet by 1870, Sawrey finds, most politically involved Ohioans believed Reconstruction had secured their basic goals. Dubious Victory offers a fresh approach to understanding the limits of what was achievable during Reconstruction. It also explains why the achievements of the period now seem to have been so limited.
