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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illinois, the Origins: An Address by Clarence Walworth Alvord, Ph. D., Associate Professor of History, University of Illinois, Before the Trustees, Faculty, and Students of the Western Illinois State Normal School, Friday, December, 3, 1909 There is another way in which we are proclaiming our pride in the past of our state that IS equally significant, namely, through the work of our historians. Perhaps in no state in the Union is there greater activity in the study of local history than is found in Illinois. Our State Historical Society is among the largest. The State Historical Library is showing an activity which rivals the work of any other institution of similar kind and is, I hope, wisely expending the appropriations made by the legislature. There is a praiseworthy activity in the local historical societies; and the individuals who are working upon Illinois history are in creasing in numbers every year. The state legislature, aside from its appropriation to the State Historical Library, has displayed its interest in another way, by passing a bill re quiring a knowledge of state history from all candidates for teachers positions. This action on the part of the legisla ture may be open to criticism; but, from our view-point to night, it is an exhibition of state pride, of the consciousness of a past, the knowledge of which is regarded as a valuable acquisition for the citizens of this community. This development of an appreciation of the state's past among our people should be a cause of congratulation, for the result of this energy, although it may be occasionally misdirected, will finally exercise great in uence upon our citizens, when our true history is better known, because we have a past that has been of great value to humanity, a past which, on the whole, we may contemplate with pride.

Download or read book The Negro in Illinois written by Brian Dolinar and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major document of African American participation in the struggles of the Depression, The Negro in Illinois was produced by a special division of the Illinois Writers' Project, one of President Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration programs. The Federal Writers' Project helped to sustain "New Negro" artists during the 1930s and gave them a newfound social consciousness that is reflected in their writing. Headed by Harlem Renaissance poet Arna Bontemps and white proletarian writer Jack Conroy, The Negro in Illinois employed major black writers living in Chicago during the 1930s, including Richard Wright, Margaret Walker, Katherine Dunham, Fenton Johnson, Frank Yerby, and Richard Durham. The authors chronicled the African American experience in Illinois from the beginnings of slavery to Lincoln's emancipation and the Great Migration, with individual chapters discussing various aspects of public and domestic life, recreation, politics, religion, literature, and performing arts. After the project was canceled in 1942, most of the writings went unpublished for more than half a century--until now. Working closely with archivist Michael Flug to select and organize the book, editor Brian Dolinar compiled The Negro in Illinois from papers at the Vivian G. Harsh Collection of Afro-American History and Literature at the Carter G. Woodson Library in Chicago. Dolinar provides an informative introduction and epilogue which explain the origins of the project and place it in the context of the Black Chicago Renaissance. Making available an invaluable perspective on African American life, this volume represents a publication of immense historical and literary importance.
