1. "Unnatural Mother": Race, Gender, and Infanticide in the Nineteenth-Century South

Title Tesim:
"Unnatural Mother": Race, Gender, and Infanticide in the Nineteenth-Century South
Creator:
Pearson, Tyra
Date of publication:
2017
Abstract Tesim:
This article uses legal cases regarding infanticide in the American South to examine the intersections between conceptions of gender, race, and servitude in the nineteenth-century United States. Extralegal considerations, especially patriarchy, often informed the verdicts made in state courts, which reveals that societal ideas about race, slavery, and gender influenced legal decisions in the antebellum South.

4. Yearning for Normalcy: Marriage and Gender in the Slaveholding Class During the Civil War

Title Tesim:
Yearning for Normalcy: Marriage and Gender in the Slaveholding Class During the Civil War
Creator:
Litke, Tyler
Date of publication:
2017
Abstract Tesim:
This article examines the theme of dependence within gender relations and the overall controlling structure of paternalism in the nineteenth-century South through the lens of southern planter class couples’ experiences in the Civil War. It argues that women’s frustrations with their emotional need for their husbands prevented them from acknowledging their diminished need for practical male support. In search of a solution, women reached for the familiarity of patriarchy in ways as varied as the problems themselves.

5. The Backlash to Charles M. Jones's Project of Racial Integration

Title Tesim:
The Backlash to Charles M. Jones's Project of Racial Integration
Creator:
Brunner, Georgia
Date of publication:
2017
Abstract Tesim:
This article analyzes Rev. Charles M. Jones’s efforts to integrate his church in Chapel Hill and the subsequent responses from locals. I argue that those against integration often appealed to Presbyterian Church doctrine, while those who supported Jones’s integration project often appealed to broader religious principles.
