This study focuses on the identification and analysis of the three Aristotelian modes of proof (logos, ethos, pathos) incorporated into editorials written by two United States Virgin Islanders, David Hamilton Jackson and Rothschild Francis during the period 1917-1926. / After the United States purchased the Virgin Islands (St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John), formerly the Danish West Indies, from Denmark in 1917, times continued to be turbulent and unsettled for the Islanders. Jackson and Francis, both labeled "agitators," advocated reform. Jackson in his St. Croix-based newspaper The Herald and Francis in his paper The Emancipator, published in St. Thomas, advanced arguments in favor of United States citizenship, a shift from a U.S. Navy-controlled government to a civilian one, and suffrage for the Virgin Islander. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 44-03, Section: A, page: 0609. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1983.
