Download or read book Illinois written by Richard J. Jensen and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The epic struggle between traditional, agrarian society and modern industrial capitalism was played out on the national stage as the War between the States. The same struggle between traditional and modern values split Illinois between "Egypt"--the southern region populated by yeoman farmers who came to Illinois from Kentucky, Virginia, Missouri, and other southern states--and the Yankee-dominated, urban north. Richard J. Jensen treats Illinois as a microcosm of the nation, arguing that its history exhibits basic conflicts that had much to do with shaping American society in general. Northern reformers in Illinois were intent on remaking the state in their image: middle-class, egalitarian, urban, and progressive. These values clashed with the patriarchal supremacy and intense loyalty to kin and ken by which the people of southern Illinois, and the South, organized their lives. When the Civil War broke out, sympathy for the Confederacy ran high in southern Illinois. Although the region officially supported the Union, guerrilla bands terrorized Unionists, and in Charleston a full-scale riot against Federal troops erupted in 1864. The Union victory decisively shifted both the nation and Illinois toward faster modernization. Violence became more bureaucratized, and localism eroded with the onslaught of chain franchises, consolidated schools, and homogenized suburbs. Jensen extends his discussion to the emergence of newer, postmodern conflicts that continue to occupy the people of Illinois. Without neglecting the high-profile individuals and events that put the Prairie State on the map, Jensen offers an innovative, wide-angle view that expands our perspective on Illinois history.

Download or read book The Story of Illinois and Its People Classic Reprint written by William Lewis Nida and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Illinois and Its People History is the most human, and therefore the most absorbing, of all studies. There seems to be no practical limit to the interest that may be secured in the class room, when the great events are presented to the pupils as the actual deeds of real people. In capable hands the pages often become, as it were, a stage on which living characters reenact the dramas of former generations. Take the children, in imagination, through that picturesque region and along the beautiful streams that Black Hawk loved, and he ceases to be merely a troublesome Indian, and becomes to them thereafter the hero of a pathetic racial tragedy. Pioneer days have gone forever from Illinois. Yet that ever-present longing in the human race to go to the woods, to build the cabin, and to battle with the wilderness, will spring up as a flame in the minds of our boys and girls of today, when told of the heroic deeds of their forefathers. Nor will the fact be overlooked, that out of these meager frontier fabrics were woven some of the most sterling characters of our national life. Let us, then, carry out the lumber of unimportant details and the dry bones of facts and dates, and bring in the live flesh and blood of Interest, Incident and Narrative, and we shall find that the time devoted to the study of the history of our own State has indeed been a profitable season.
