Letter from S. Trumbell to Abraham Lincoln, with Response
This letter contains a brief recommendation from S. Trumbell regarding another letter writer. This other writer was likely a Confederate, possibly a soldier seeking to be released from prison. The oath Lincoln refers to was in the Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction, which Lincoln issued on December 8, 1863. This proclamation allowed for the pardon of all but high ranking Confederates. Lincoln approved the discharge in this case.

The shaping of Jewish identity in nineteenth-century France

With the Revolution of 1789 came the collapse of the social, political, and philosophical foundations of exclusiveness, forcing French society and the Jews to come to terms with the meaning of emancipation. Over time, the enormous challenge that emancipation posed for …

Expanding the frontiers of civil rights: Michigan, 1948-1968
Although historians have devoted a great deal of attention to the development of federal government policy regarding civil rights in the quarter century following World War II, little attention has been paid to the equally important developments at the state level. Few states underwent a more dramatic transformation with regard to civil rights than Michigan did. In 1948, the Michigan Committee on Civil Rights characterized the state of civil rights in Michigan as presenting "an ugly picture." Tw…
