Abstract:

This biographical essay of colonial figure John Mare is a collaboration between two different researchers who were united only by coincidence. Their individual work on John Mare's life produced biographical sketches so different that at first glance the two stories seemed unlikely to be about the same man. When united in their research, they were able to link their work and produca complete sketches of Mare, one of his early life as a painter in New York, and the other of a merchant and political figure in Edenton, North Carolina. A chapter is dedicated to both segments of his life, the work of each author, with a third chapter discussing how the two sketches proved to be of the same man.

Abstract:

This article looks at the effects of the emancipation proclamation on the Confederate government, its politics, support for military efforts and campaigns, and on public support and opinion of the war and the Confederacy. Particular attention is given to the resultant change in identity and sentiment among the Confederate citizenry from seeing themselves as united in the cause of preserving states' rights to being divided by the status of slaveholder and non-slaveholder and recognizing slavery as the real driving force of the war.

Abstract:

This article examines the 1918 Revenue Act designed by Chairman Claude Kitchin of the House Ways and Means Committee. The act, created during U.S. wartime, sought to collect a high, graduated excess profits tax from those netting profits in excess of a just rate of return. Kitchin believed that the country should finance the war by collecting as large taxes as possible and mortgage as little as possible. Failure to do so, Kitchin said, could send the country into a post-war depression. Conservatives saw the tax as part of an attack on business and wealth, and the tax was repealed in 1921.
