Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University. / The problem of the dissertation, "The Sources of the Idea of Active Resistance in the Political Theory of John Knox," is twofold: (1) to present the major tenets of the political theory of Knox, (2) to indicate the sources of the idea of active resistance revealed in that political theory. The major portion of the study falls within the limits of the sixteenth century. Following the presentation of the major aspects of Knox's political theory, the study proceeds to the analysis of the sources of the idea of active resistance. The "atmospheric" influences of Scottish geography, topography and temperament, Lollardy, Lutheranism, and the Scottish middle-class movement are treated. The Biblical influence upon Knox is discussed in great detail. Knox relied heavily upon Old Testament precedents for his political theory. But he did not ignore the teaching of the New Testament. Knox was his own interpreter of scripture. He expected his interpretation to be accepted by all. He could make the Scriptures sanction revolution. [TRUNCATED]

The results of a historic ceramic analysis and a general overview of the history of North Carolina’s Moravian redware pottery are presented with an emphasis on its presence at two late 18th century historical sites, 40KN125 and 40KN275, in Knox County, TN. The connection between the Gibbs site (40KN125) and the Perry site (40KN275) is examined, while also investigating the underlying trade connections between neighboring North Carolina and East Tennessee. The histories of the sites themselves are discussed, alongside historical accounts that link the inhabitants of the two sites. The Moravians who settled in what is now Alamance County, NC were a protestant sect with a history spanning back to early 15th century Germany. These individuals were some of the first Europeans to settle in that region of North Carolina and are widely recognized for their elaborate earthenware vessels. Originating in the mid-1700’s, North Carolina’s Moravian pottery was highly valued by European colonists living in the Carolina Piedmont region. In particular, these redware vessels were in great demand and were traded with early settlers outside of this community. While produced in North Carolina, the archaeological record shows that Moravian redware was extremely rare in East Tennessee during the 18th century. However, archaeological excavations have uncovered Moravian redware at both the Gibbs and Perry sites. The pieces of Moravian redware from both assemblages seem to be strikingly similar and may have originated from a single source. The ceramic analysis includes examining vessel paste, surface treatment, and surface decoration to determine if these pieces originated from the same collection. Maps created using ESRI ArcPro GIS software are also included to examine the larger trade connection between North Carolina’s Piedmont region and eastern Tennessee. Expected results are as follows: paste, surface treatment, and decoration of the vessels from state recorded sites 40KN275 and 40KN125 match, demonstrating a connection between the two sites. This archaeological evidence, alongside written historical records provide insight into East Tennessee’s early 18th century history, and its relationship to adjoining regions during that time period.

Much general research has been done on the early history of Knox County, Indiana, but little has been done on the history of road development in the county. The main purpose of this study is to contribute to original research about Knox County road development from 1840 to 1860.In the early years of Indiana's history, lines of travel were rivers, animal pathways, and Indian trails. Most of the early routes were in the southern part of the state which was one of the first areas inhabited by white settlers. The region around Vincennes was an important trade center and a central meeting place for a variety of Indian Groups with many pathways crossing there.As the population grew in southern Indiana, Knox County which encompassed a very large area, was divided into townships. Local governments, first the Court of Quarter Sessions, then the County Commissioners and Township Trustees had power over roadbuilding. Townships were divided into road districts and road supervisors were appointed/elected to maintain the roads within each district. Individuals requested private roads, cartways, township roads, county roads and changes and vacations of each.In Knox County, Indiana, most early routes were established to connect citizens with Vincennes, the county seat. However as settlers moved into the countryside, roads were needed to reach river crossings, mills, churches, railroads, and other sites.There were objections to proposed road, change and vacation petitions for a variety of reasons. Usually the objectors thought they would suffer property damage, or they wanted to cultivate parts of their land that were cut off by the roadways. Another concern was whether a road was of public use. This was an important issue because male citizens between the ages of 20 and 50 were required by state law to work the roads every year. They were assigned to a road district, and it was there that any additional road taxes could be worked off with labor on the roads.Knox County citizens followed the same state guidelines as all Hoosiers in regard to roadbuilding. There were no examples of roadbuilding that would make Knox County appear to be different than any other county, except perhaps in the local residents' zeal to maintain Vincennes as an important crossroads between Louisville and St. Louis and Chicago and points south. / Department of History
