Born into a family staunchly supporting Andrew Jackson, Doubleday reflected the determined Unionist position of the strong-willed president. Abner's attitude towards the Union was later vividly demonstrated at Fort Sumter.

Show moreAbner Doubleday was an unusual and often a controversial person. Born into a family staunchly supporting Andrew Jackson, Doubleday reflected the determined Unionist position of the strong-willed president. Abner's attitude towards the Union was later vividly demonstrated at Fort Sumter. A mediocre career at West Point illustrated Doubleday's lack of desire to excel although he possessed the ability to do so. The controversy over the origin of baseball, although Doubleday was never directly involved in the question, was the first of several controversies with which Abner Doubleday's name is associated., Doubleday never seemed satisfied with his early life. In his papers he continually referred to people, prominent in later years, which he knew. While serving in the Mexican War, Doubleday continually felt the need to relate the dangerous situations in which he was placed. He seemed to want to demonstrate his personal responsibilities, which while actually meager, he viewed as of supreme importance. Doubleday apparently wanted to be a famous, bold cavalier, but realized he failed to accomplish his objective and stressed his "noble" deeds., Doubleday loved large cities and the benefits they offered a person. He liked being in the right social circles and enjoyed the "good life." By 1852, while serving as a commissioner for the Senate, Doubleday had come to despise Mexico and the Mexicans. By 1858, while serving in Florida, he disliked the inconveniences of chasing "savages." With secession in 1860 Doubleday no longer liked Charlestonians; later extending his revulsion to all Confederates., With the crisis at Sumter in 1861 Doubleday was greatly troubled. The affront to the United States government was almost more than he could bear. With the outbreak of the war, Doubleday was more than willing to fight the rebels. A dependable, if unspectacular soldier, Doubleday served well during the Civil War. While no one accused him of original thinking militarily, his men always fought well. Gettysburg was Doubleday's finest hour but became his final hour in the Civil War when he could not countenance serving under a junior officer., It seems strange that Doubleday served in the Freedmen's Bureau since his superior was none other than his old enemy from Gettysburg, O.O. Howard. Doubleday's service in California brought the controversy over the origin of the cable car. Retirement from the army in 1873 brought out several new qualities in Abner Doubleday. He wrote books, read French and Spanish literature, and became interested in the occult and became a believer in theosophy., Doubleday was a colorful figure in nineteenth century America. He was associated with several significant events in the growth of the nation. Doubleday represented, possibly to an extreme, the attitude of many American Unionists and supporters of Manifest Destiny. His commitment to a united nation is similar to Lincoln's attitude. Doubleday not only vocalized this sentiment, but, like Lincoln, was prepared to fight for his belief. Abner Doubleday was an intense American. He desired a strong, powerful United States and opposed those not supporting such a course.

Show moreThe American Missionary Association played an important role in the slaves' transition to freedmen. This study examines the work of the AMA with black North Carolinians during the Civil War and Reconstruction. Life for Yankee teachers in the South is described, along with their motives for coming, the various tasks they performed and the Southern reaction to their presence and labors. Attention is given to the relief, religious and missionary activities of the Association, but the emphasis is on Education. Freedmen's desire and eagerness to learn, black academic progress, curriculum, obstacles and discipline are discussed in chapters II, III, and IV. The role of black teachers in the AMA and the contributions of native blacks to the education movement are also delineated. In addition, the AMA's relationship with and its labors in the black community and its work with the state's poor whites are analyzed and adds valuable new information to Freedmen's Aid Literature.

Show moreTraditionally, the offspring of illustrious, respected citizens are not studied unless they become famous in their own right. Traditionally, too, the daughters of prominent eighteenth-century men have been largely ignored or referenced casually in a footnote. From the age of four, however, Charlotte Cibber Charke, the youngest daughter of the Poet Laureate, Colley Cibber, made certain that she would not be ignored. In her childhood began adventures and escapades that would lead her through a riotous, tragic life that deserves to be remembered. Charlotte Cibber Charke's notoriety is well-deserved, but not so much for her passing as a man as for her unflinching struggle to survive as an unattached woman against all the dictates of propriety of the eighteenth century. Her attempts at the careers of actress, entrepreneur, and author have been examined and the judgment is that she is well worth remembering. Dressing as a man onstage soon carried over into her personal life, especially after her irascible temperament and the Licensing Act of 1737 thwarted her London theatrical career. Versatile acting abilities and a ferocious desire to preserve her autonomy enabled her to pose as a young man while attempting diverse male occupations to support herself and her daughter. Waiting tables in a tavern, selling sausages on the street, trading teas in her shop, running a boarding house, and managing an elaborate puppet show were some of her survival schemes. On more than one occasion she was pursued and proposed to by young women. Labeled a transvestite by modern critics, Charlotte Cibber Charke was, rather, a survivor. In a time when women alone were either protected as mistresses or exploited as prostitutes, she faced these two choices and determined she could accept neither. Deserted by her husband of less than a year and left alone with an infant, she attempted the logical route to survival and independence--she went on the stage in her father's theatre at Drury Lane and became as famous for her breeches roles in her time as Nell Gwynn had been in hers.
