Dayton’s Arcade and the city’s African American community have been intertwined since the complex’s opening in 1904. People of color have played a central role throughout the history of the Arcade. The decade before the Great Migration brought thousands of southern African Americans to Dayton. The food markets and retail shops located at the Arcade complex became a vital destination for many because it was located near the West Side neighborhoods, where African Americans were often forced to settle because of housing practices in the city. It was also located between the various places African Americans worked, such as the factories on the eastern side of the city, and the neighborhoods in which they lived. As a result, circumstances led many African Americans to pass through the Arcade on a daily basis. As the decades passed, black patronage became increasingly important to the Arcade because the city’s white population moved in large numbers to the suburbs. Dayton has had, and continues to have, a long, notorious history as a segregated city. Many downtown businesses restricted black employment and discouraged black customers. At the Arcade, black visitors encountered less of the discrimination than they did elsewhere in the city. To be sure, the African American experience of the Arcade was riven with contradictions. Establishments within the Arcade practiced segregation. For a long period, de facto segregation prevented African Americans from sitting, riding the elevator, or trying on clothes at some establishments in the Arcade. However, the Arcade was viewed by many African Americans as more welcoming than other places

abstract:In 1813, the United States was at war with Great Britain and her native allies. While military battles were vicious and violence was expected by both sides, uncivilized warfare—also known as irregular warfare, guerrilla warfare, and unconventional warfare—angered and was spurned by both Europeans and Americans. To be sure, uncivilized warfare was practiced by both Euro-Americans and Native Americans in the Great Lakes region of North America beginning as far back as the early seventeenth century. One case was that of an Odawa (Ottawa) war party from Fort Malden in Canada, which raided, killed, and captured American settlers at Cold Creek (Ohio) in June of 1813. The raid and ambush committed deplorable acts of butchery in the killing of women and children, and the tactic was used to instill fear and panic in American settlers in hopes of forcing them to vacate Indian lands. This article examines the details of uncivilized warfare at Cold Creek, which caused moral outrage and indignation in eastern newspapers, the American military, and the US Congress. The author argues that this type of warfare was more complex in native cultural traditions and sociopolitical relations between Native Americans and whites than simple revenge. The debate by historians on this issue remains unsettled today for lack of direct and circumstantial evidence.
