Anglo-American kinship, as a set of historical continuities linking the United States to Great Britain and as a reckoning of relatedness, constituted a valuable cultural resource for Southerners as they contemplated their place within the American nation and outside in the nineteenth century. Like the more conventional calculations of consanguinity and familial belonging it referenced, the Anglo-American kinship was contingent, convoluted, and, not infrequently, contested. Articulated at various times by masters and former slaves, ministers and merchants, plantation mistresses and politicians, this sense of belonging to an imagined transatlantic family transcended the boundaries of gender, race, and class as readily as it traversed national borders. Though grounded in biogenetic factors, the language of Anglo-American kinship encompassed claims of belonging predicated on confessional faith, language, and institutions as well as blood. This thesis considers the interaction between conceptions of Anglo-American kinship and the formation of Southern national identity, both unionist and separatist, between 1830 and 1890 by examining institutions and social rituals that both inculcated filiopietism and constructed Southerness in the Civil War era and beyond. The subjects under consideration in this study include the role of European travel in forging Southern distinctiveness before the war, ring tournaments and the ethos of medieval chivalry they promoted, the Protestant Episcopal Church and its role in managing the sectional crisis, postbellum immigration societies and their vision of the plantation South remade in the image of British manors, and the role that state historical associations played in reunion and the entrenchment of the Lost Cause mythology as the predominant historical framework for interpreting the American Civil War.

Esse grupo é apontado pela bibliografia como o de maior sucesso relativo, dentre todos aqueles que vieram para o Brasil. O período de análise compreende os anos de 1866 (ano em que se estabeleceram os primeiros imigrantes na região) até 1900. Concentrando as pesquisas em fontes documentais primárias, procuramos elaborar o panorama das relações (especialmente econômicas) que envolveram esses imigrantes em Santa Bárbara e arredores. Utilizando escrituras de compra e venda, hipotecas, contratos de empreitada e agrícolas, testamentos, procurações, lista de eleitores, registros de casamentos, registros de impostos de indústrias e profissões, reconstruímos as relações estabelecidas por esses imigrantes com a população local e também entre si. As fontes demonstram que, aos poucos, os norte-americanos foram se integrando à sociedade local, inclusive naturalizando-se e participando ativamente da política, adquirindo imóveis rurais e urbanos e inserindo-se na economia local, primeiramente com a agricultura comercial do algodão, seguida pela cana-de-açúcar (inclusive com produção de aguardente), e pela melancia. Na área urbana foram proprietários de negócios de secos e molhados, dentistas, médicos, ferreiros, entre outras profissões. / Abstract: This work aims to recover the history of a group of North American immigrants who went to Santa Bárbara d'Oeste, São Paulo state, at the end of the American Civil War, as well as the myth and the reality that surrounds it. This group is identified in the literature as the most successful one among all those who came to Brazil. The period of analysis covers the years from 1866 (when the first immigrants settled in the region) up to 1900. Focusing our research on primary sources, we attempted to elaborate the landscape of relations (especially economic) involving these immigrants in and around Santa Bárbara. Using deeds of purchase and selling, mortgages, contracts of service and agricultural societies, wills, letters of attorney, list of voters, marriage records, tax records of companies and professions, we analyzed the relationships established by these immigrants with the local population and among themselves. The documents show that, gradually, the North Americans integrated themselves into the local society, becoming naturalized and participating actively in politics, buying real estate in urban and rural areas and entering the local economy, primarily through commercial agriculture of cotton, then the cane sugar (including the production of aguardente - sugar cane rum), and watermelon. In urban areas they were owners of grocery stores, dentists, doctors, blacksmiths, among other professions. / Mestrado / Historia Economica / Mestre em Ciências Econômicas

Historians have done their duty in commemorating an individual who was, as Sidney Hook’s Hero in History would describe, an “event making-man.” A myriad of works focused on understanding the martial effort behind George S. Patton Jr. from his ancestral lineage rooted in military tradition to his triumph during the Second World War. What is yet to be understood about Patton, however, is the role that the Civil War played in his transformation into one of America’s iconic generals. For Patton, the Lost Cause legacy, one that idealized the image of the Confederate soldier in terms of personal honor, courage, and duty, became the seed for his preoccupation for glory.

"The Great Hanging" is a documentary film that tells the story of the largest extra-legal mass hanging in U.S. History. This story is told through stage play recital of "October Mourning" written by historian and professor Dr. Pat Ledbetter. Using the stage play as a vehicle, the film showcases cinematic re-enactments based in the events in Gainesville, Texas during October 1862. These events show how a small community became overwhelmed by the fog of war and delved into madness as the Civil War crept closer and closer to their doorstep.
