Book Description
From our earliest days to the present, education remains vital to our survival. The need to pass on information pertinent to the society in which we live is paramount, but the manner in which we educate, and the information we pass on, has changed over time.The History of Education on the Old Mission Peninsula is the recording of educational practices through-out time on a lush peninsula that extends eighteen miles into the Grand Traverse Bay in Northwestern Michigan. Educational practices, very similar to those practiced across our developing nation, are discussed in conjunction with the history of the era in which they took place, the politics of the times, and the current life requirements.We begin in the 1740's with the tribal educational systems of the Odawa and Ojibwa Native Americans, followed by the Presbyterian evangelical movement of the 1840's, lead on the Old Mission Peninsula, by Peter Dougherty. A school held on a schooner, in a private residence, a barn, and abandoned log cabin follows. Explore the seven one-room schoolhouses on the peninsula and read accounts of former students. Next, learn about the consolidation of schools, government interruption, TCAPS rejection, and finally the evolution of a charter school, the Old Mission Peninsula School.Follow education's path, here on the Old Mission Peninsula. Will this past be a predictor of the future? Only time will tell.

The Good Country
Author: Jon K. LauckPublisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806191406
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 479
Book Description
At the center of American history is a hole—a gap where some scholars’ indifference or disdain has too long stood in for the true story of the American Midwest. A first-ever chronicle of the Midwest’s formative century, The Good Country restores this American heartland to its central place in the nation’s history. Jon K. Lauck, the premier historian of the region, puts midwestern “squares” center stage—an unorthodox approach that leads to surprising conclusions. The American Midwest, in Lauck’s cogent account, was the most democratically advanced place in the world during the nineteenth century. The Good Country describes a rich civic culture that prized education, literature, libraries, and the arts; developed a stable social order grounded in Victorian norms, republican virtue, and Christian teachings; and generally put democratic ideals into practice to a greater extent than any nation to date. The outbreak of the Civil War and the fight against the slaveholding South only deepened the Midwest’s dedication to advancing a democratic culture and solidified its regional identity. The “good country” was, of course, not the “perfect country,” and Lauck devotes a chapter to the question of race in the Midwest, finding early examples of overt racism but also discovering a steady march toward racial progress. He also finds many instances of modest reforms enacted through the democratic process and designed to address particular social problems, as well as significant advances for women, who were active in civic affairs and took advantage of the Midwest’s openness to women in higher education. Lauck reaches his conclusions through a measured analysis that weighs historical achievements and injustices, rejects the acrimonious tones of the culture wars, and seeks a new historical discourse grounded in fair readings of the American past. In a trying time of contested politics and culture, his book locates a middle ground, fittingly, in the center of the country.

The Black Laws in the Old Northwest
Author: Stephen MiddletonPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313064490
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
The Northwest Territory (now the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin), under the Ordinance of 1787, was a free jurisdiction. Yet, all of the states of the territory, except Wisconsin, adopted Black Laws, legislation designed to subjugate African Americans. For the first time, this book brings together the Black Laws of the Old Northwest. The documents in the volume include statutes, legislative reports and resolutions, and petitions and memorials produced by the state legislatures, government agencies, or concerned citizens. Together, the documents provide a history of racial discrimination in this free territory. After a brief prologue, Stephen Middleton organizes the documents by state. Within each state, the documents are arranged into sets on specific topics such as immigration laws, welfare and public education laws, and jury and testimony laws. Although in general the editor lets the documents speak for themselves, he introduces each set of documents with commentary pointing to the themes in the documents. The volume will be a valuable resource for both students and scholars concerned with African-American history.
