This makes it a compelling exploration of the problems of local history. Forgetting and the Forgotten presents a historiography of a Jeffersonian tale of progress by white folk who conquered and cultivated the wilderness to create a yeoman farmer democracy. The texts of these tales are mostly found in what Batinski describes as “gilt-covered histories found on parlor tables.” Those accounts are contested by his historiography of inclusion. In these accounts, Batinski voices the forgotten and suppressed stories of the twelfth- to fifteenth-century Mississippian people and the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Algonquian-speaking people. He writes of those who failed in their settlement efforts and moved on; of those People of Color who drifted into the county as laborers, some of whom were used up; and of those European immigrants who came in to mine coal and build railroads for national corporations. This is not so much a history of Jackson County as it is an examination of the history of Jackson County as a lesson on the uses and abuses of the past.Forgetting and the Forgotten opens with an elegiac retelling of Mississippian cosmology, written from a close reading of stories of origin collected by anthropologists. These are tied to the numerous traces these Mississippians left on the landscape as rock glyphs, earthen monuments, and objects of daily use and ceremony. The visible heritage on the land was turned against the Indigenous peoples whom the white settlers met. Native Americans were accused of being the vicious and debauched people who destroyed the great mound builder civilization. In a transitional chapter, “To Square the Circle,” Batinski shows how understanding of the land was changed from a place of memories that contained ancient stories of origin and place, to the survey grid laid over the Old Northwest by the Ordinance of 1787. The grid was the critical tool of organizing a European system of title, record, and ownership. The implementation of the grid “extinguished” native peoples’ claims.The white settlers recounted their stories of hard work and perseverance. These scripted accounts were based upon widely observed conventions of the meaning of the past and its value. Batinski does a good job of assessing the nature of these nineteenth-century county histories that were commercial enterprises with pro-forma structure and content. These keepers of the past recorded the stories of those who could pay to be included. As a counterpoint, Batinski introduces the stories that were left out, such as the wide resistance in Jackson County to the Civil War. The traditional narratives highlighted General John A. Logan, the Democratic congressman (and former state legislator who had worked to prevent Black migration into Illinois) who bec","PeriodicalId":17416,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society (1998-)","volume":"164 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135324757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shannon","doi":"10.5406/23283335.116.2.3.11","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5406/23283335.116.2.3.11","url":null,"abstract":"In this robust yet approachable book, the authors explore the impact of the Irish on Illinois history. While the central argument is that the Irish played an important role in the state's history from its founding, this book does much more than that with its topic. It seeks to outline the differences in the Irish experience in Illinois across time, geography, social, and political structures.At its best, The Irish in Illinois punctures stereotypes about Irish life in Illinois. A superficial observer might conclude that the Irish in Illinois primarily impacted political and social life in Chicago by forming interconnected communities based on Roman Catholicism and Democratic Party politics. While this is true to an extent, the authors assert that the Irish impact on Illinois goes beyond these narrow suppositions.Starting with the pre-statehood period, the authors trace the impact of people coming from a variety of Irish backgrounds and for a variety of reasons. Also of note is the corresponding tracing of developments in Ireland that influenced those who left and how they navigated their new world in Illinois. Immigrants who came during the Great Famine of 1845–1852 differed in composition and motivation from those who came both before and after.Related to this is their argument that the Irish served as a model for subsequent immigrants. Specifically, in their path to integration into American society, the Irish opened a path for groups that came later. Future researchers into this issue would do well to consider this process and how it does (or does not) apply to immigrant groups in both urban and rural contexts.The authors also confront the troubled history of the Irish and race relations in Illinois. They rightly point out the role played by Irish Americans in the race massacres in Springfield in 1908, East St. Louis in 1917, and Chicago in 1919. Cast against the background of their proposed dynamic of assimilation, this complicity and direct involvement in racial violence presents a complex pictureThe authors, in arguing about the Irish and politics, suggest that the Irish possessed a preternatural aptitude for succeeding in gaining political power. There might have been more done on this, delving into why this might have been the case. Looking back to Ireland, these immigrants often operated as clients of political patrons who controlled access to the benefits of the political system. At some level, this view of politics transferred to Illinois with these new immigrants. They operated as well as they did in politics because of their experience in Ireland.Using primary and secondary literature, the authors position their work well as an overview and a starting point for further research into the role played by Irish people in Illinois. This well-written and well-organized volume forms a welcome addition to the literature and should serve as the inspiration for more research into the impact of the Irish in the Prairie State.","PeriodicalId":17416,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society (1998-)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135324762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Schroeder-Lein","doi":"10.5406/23283335.116.2.3.10","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5406/23283335.116.2.3.10","url":null,"abstract":"The Concise Lincoln Library series, published by Southern Illinois University Press since 2011, now contains about twenty-eight volumes. One of the most recent is Mark E. Steiner's Lincoln and Citizenship, which follows the series format of a short book intensely focused on a particular Lincoln-related topic.Steiner sets the stage for his study by posing the following question: Whom did Abraham Lincoln mean when he addressed a crowd as “fellow citizens”? Did it mean the same thing to him as when he said “ladies and gentlemen”? Taking a chronological approach, Steiner shows how Lincoln's concept of citizenship changed over time.In his first comment about citizenship, a campaign statement published in the Sangamo Journal on June 18, 1836, Lincoln seems to have taken a step back from the then-popular universal white male suffrage, already a feature of the 1818 Illinois state constitution. He would offer suffrage only to whites who met obligations to the state, such as militia duty and paying taxes, and, in an aside, mentioned that this could include taxpaying women, although Lincoln was never an advocate of woman suffrage. Steiner explains this viewpoint as part of a Whig campaign against Democratic presidential candidate Martin Van Buren in 1836 and 1840, although other Whigs did not want to return to limiting white male suffrage. Lincoln did not continue to advocate taxpayer suffrage.In the antebellum period, nativism was very strong in the United States, particularly in the Northeast. The effort to restrict the rights of recent immigrants led to the founding of the American or “Know-Nothing” party in the 1850s. Lincoln always opposed nativism, and welcomed naturalized white males to citizenship, particularly German immigrants who supported the Republican Party.Lincoln was anti-slavery in his opinions, opposed to the extension of slavery into the territories, but not an abolitionist, favoring the immediate end of slavery. A moderate and gradualist, Lincoln favored voluntary colonization of freed blacks through late 1862, but he was not an active member of a colonization society.The issue of possible black citizenship, disallowed by the Dred Scott decision in 1857 and then made possible by the Civil War, as well as Lincoln's changing views on the subject, occupy the final two chapters of the book. In his campaign statements during some of the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates, Lincoln proclaimed his opposition to black political and social equality. He nevertheless believed, and stated, that blacks were equal in their rights to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” as found in the Declaration of Independence. In other words, blacks had “natural” rights and should also have some civil rights (to improve their condition, to own property, and to testify in court, for example). These complicated and sometimes contradictory opinions by Lincoln have been the subject of much discussion in a number of previous books. Steiner provides a clear and concis","PeriodicalId":17416,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society (1998-)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135324763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
