Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial Addresses on the Life and Character of Garrett Davis: A Senator From Kentucky, Delivered in the Senate and House of Representatives, Forty-Second Congress, Third Session, December 18, 1872 Garrett Davis was a native of Kentucky. He was born in Mount Sterling on the 10th of September, 1801. His father and mother emigrated from Montgomery County, Maryland, to the county of the same name in Kentucky. His mother was a Miss Garrett, a family still well and widely known in Maryland, and it was from his mother's family that he derived his own baptismal name. His father was a man of marked character. To energy and industry, he added strong will and great personal popularity. He was for many years the sheriff of his adopted county, and represented it several times in the lower branch of the General Assembly of Kentucky. The strongly marked character of the parents was deeply impressed upon their children. Mr. Davis was one of three brothers. The brilliant talents of two of them, Amos and Singleton Davis, long since dead, are still remembered in Kentucky, while the long and distinguished public service of him whom we to-day mourn, is imperishably interwoven with the public annals of an entire country. Mr. Davis enjoyed the advantages of what we know in Kentucky as a common country school. At the early period when his father left Maryland to find a new home in the wild and sparsely settled portion of Kentucky where he settled, the means of instruction were extremely limited. Mr. Davis applied himself diligently, and soon acquired a good English education, with some knowledge of the Latin and Greek languages. At an early age he determined to study law. With a view of practical knowledge he sought employment as a deputy in the circuit court clerk's office of Montgomery County. In 1823 he removed to Bourbon County, where he continued to prosecute his legal studies, and at the same time to write in the circuit court clerk's office of that county. About the year 1824 he commenced the practice of his profession at Paris, and to it he consecrated the earlier years of life with enthusiastic devotion.

Book excerpt: When U.S. Congressman Lucian Anderson from Kentucky voted for the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in January 1865, abolishing slavery, he gambled more than his political career. Anderson was from Mayfield, one of the most rabidly secessionist towns in the Bluegrass State. During the Civil War, his political alignment changed from pro-slavery Union Democrat to Unconditional Unionist to Republican. Elected by Unionists in 1863, he soon received death threats and was kidnapped by Confederate raiders who held him for ransom (while he tried to convert them to the Union cause). He was a Kentucky delegate to the 1864 national convention that re-nominated President Abraham Lincoln. Knowing he could not win another term, Anderson did not seek reelection in 1865. Based on newspaper articles, letters and other contemporary sources, this book provides a detailed portrait of an overlooked but significant figure of the Civil War and Kentucky history.

Download or read book Rebels on the Border written by Aaron Astor and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebels on the Border offers a remarkably compelling and significant study of the Civil War South's highly contested and bloodiest border states: Kentucky and Missouri. By far the most complex examination to date, the book sharply focuses on the "borderland" between the free North and the Confederate South. As a result, Rebels on the Border deepens and enhances understanding of the sectional conflict, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. After slaves in central Kentucky and Missouri gained their emancipation, author Aaron Astor contends, they transformed informal kin and social networks of resistance against slavery into more formalized processes of electoral participation and institution building. At the same time, white politics in Kentucky's Bluegrass and Missouri's Little Dixie underwent an electoral realignment in response to the racial and social revolution caused by the war and its aftermath. Black citizenship and voting rights provoked a violent white reaction and a cultural reinterpretation of white regional identity. After the war, the majority of wartime Unionists in the Bluegrass and Little Dixie joined former Confederate guerrillas in the Democratic Party in an effort to stifle the political ambitions of former slaves. Rebels on the Border is not simply a story of bitter political struggles, partisan guerrilla warfare, and racial violence. Like no other scholarly account of Kentucky and Missouri during the Civil War, it places these two crucial heartland states within the broad context of local, southern, and national politics.

Download or read book The Worst Passions of Human Nature written by Paul D. Escott and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American North’s commitment to preventing a southern secession rooted in slaveholding suggests a society united in its opposition to slavery and racial inequality. The reality, however, was far more complex and troubling. In his latest book, Paul Escott lays bare the contrast between progress on emancipation and the persistence of white supremacy in the Civil War North. Escott analyzes northern politics, as well as the racial attitudes revealed in the era’s literature, to expose the nearly ubiquitous racism that flourished in all of American society and culture. Contradicting much recent scholarship, Escott argues that the North’s Democratic Party was consciously and avowedly "the white man’s party," as an extensive examination of Democratic newspapers, as well as congressional debates and other speeches by Democratic leaders, proves. The Republican Party, meanwhile, defended emancipation as a war measure but did little to attack racism or fight for equal rights. Most Republicans propagated a message that emancipation would not disturb northern race relations or the interests of northern white voters: freed slaves, it was felt, would either leave the nation or remain in the South as subordinate laborers. Escott’s book uncovers the substantial and destructive racism that lay beyond the South’s borders. Although emancipation represented enormous progress, racism flourished in the North, and assumptions of white supremacy remained powerful and nearly ubiquitous throughout America.
