Item Louis Sockalexis and the Right to Use Native American Imagery in Sports: The Cleveland Indians and Chief Wahoo(Southern New Hampshire University, 2018-05-09) Smith, Victoria Grace; Denning, Robert; Bartee, Seth; McConnell, StephanieNative American imagery has been used for mascots, logos, and team names for almost two centuries. Many teams state that this is honoring the history of the Native American. Teams have utilized Native American Athletes for the reasoning behind their team name and logo. However, this imagery is often times raciest and contributes in offensive and historically inaccurate betrayals of Native Americans to be formed. The honoring of Native Americans continues to go on especially in the world of athletics, in local school districts, colleges/universities, and professional teams. This usage of Native American imagery helps to maintain the cultural and historical aspects of these important peoples. Throughout the research many sources have been located and utilized. Local newspaper articles and other local references have been an important contribution. Over the past several decades, research has been completed in regards to Native American imagery being used for sports teams. This research has helped to support the thesis of the following paper. The following paper leaves a mark in Cultural, Social, Political, and Sports history. It has contributed to the progress that has been made in Native American sports research.

(Author abstract)Item Nativism and discriminatory laws: The Chinese Exlusion Acts' effects on immigration laws and immigrants during the 19th and 20th century(Southern New Hampshire University, 2019-05) Ippolito, Sandra; Bartee, Seth; Denning, RobertDuring the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Immigration laws would be drastically changed due in part to nativism and other factors. It would be the first time in history that the federal government would get involved in any type of immigration action and it would all start with the Chinese Exclusion act of 1882. This act would set up a chain of events that would shape laws on immigration that would get progressively worse for all immigrants that were deemed "un-desirable."

The initial conclusions about this topic have been that the Spanish did come to dominate, convert people to Christianity, and gain resources to further the Spanish Kingdom. The Native Americans were influenced and changed due to the encounters with the Spanish and there was much devastation of their lands and peoples. However, not all the encounters were negative and damaging. Some positive aspects to the encounters for example were mixed marriages, living together peacefully on the mission, and education. This historical event was more than just stories of destruction of nations and the conversion of Native Americans to Catholicism. From Spain, Latin America, Mexico, and to California, Spanish history has been debated by historians on the impact of Spanish colonization of Native Americans over the years and the majority concluded that it was a negative and horrible experience. This study will open up a discussion and analyze the Spanish colonization in a different way and that is to demonstrate some positive aspects of Spanish colonial times. The ways of religion and how the interactions of individuals and groups influenced one another will be discussed as well. The methodology will be established through looking at this period of time through religious, political, economic, and cultural lenses by historians.

The rhetoric of President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points and how they are applied to the Middle East are analyzed, especially the idea of self-determination. The concept of nationalism is broken down to be understood as an arbitrary way to group people into sub-groups of race in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. By studying nationalism and the partition of the Ottoman Empire, it is determined that a nation-state must be founded on both global support and solidarity. If global support does not exist, a nation-state can be founded by force, as was the case for the Turks under Mustafa Kemal. Solidarity can be rooted in nationalism, but it does not have to be. It can be rooted in many things, including religion, which was the case of many Kurds who choose to unite with the Turks in their fight for self-determination. The Kurds ultimately did not unite, despite British aid, and the nation-state of Kurdistan was never created.Item Tangled loyalties: a study of Kurdish nationalism and the partition of the Ottoman Empire(Southern New Hampshire University, 2018-02) Utu, Shannon King; Bartee, SethThis essay analyzes the theoretical concept of nationalism in the post WWI era through the lens of the Kurds and the partition of the Ottoman Empire.

Afghanistan was initially viewed as unimportant to U.S. interests and ignored. This caused the Afghans to turn to the Soviet Union for aid, loans, and military assistance. The U.S. reversed course and invested money and resources into the Central Asian nation, but the influence of Soviet-style communism spread through Afghanistan. A Marxist coup led to the Afghan-Soviet War of 1979-89, which caused the U.S. to invest heavily in covert operations to support the rebel Mujahideen. This support dried up after the Soviet withdrawal in 1989, leading to the Afghan Civil War and the rise of the Taliban. Under the protection of the Taliban, Osama bin Laden and his terrorist organization, al Qaeda, planned and launched multiple attacks against the U.S. After the September 11 attack, the U.S. reentered Afghanistan and spent the next twenty years fighting a war in which it had little interest. The September 11 attacks changed life in the U.S., as well as around the world, forever. The issues faced today, including instability in the Middle East, an ever-widening gap between political ideologies, and the retrograde of rights and liberties can be traced back to U.S. policy concerning Afghanistan from 1955-2001. This paper analyzes the missteps, connects them to the current issues, and identifies future potential calamities that can still be avoided.Item “Wade in the water”: Jim Crow scenes from Maysville, Kentucky(Southern New Hampshire University, 2019-04) Maley, George S.; Bartee, SethThis research explores Jim Crow scholarship in real estate, entertainment, policing, and recreation. The thesis of this research is that outside forces came to bear on Jim Crow laws and customs. This research will show that without that outside pressure, a more equal society may not have evolved organically. In addition, this research highlights scenes from the small town of Maysville, Kentucky to more fully illustrate the power and tenacity of Jim Crow. This research is not meant to belittle the efforts of thousands of brave Americans, of all colors, who risked and sometimes lost their lives in the face of racial bigotry and oppression. It is rather to suggest that without the full power of the federal government behind them, their heroic struggle might not have happened and most certainly would have been more burdensome. The methodology employed in this project was to locate primary and secondary sources related to the topic and apply those sources to the central argument of the thesis. These sources were used to gain an understanding of Jim Crow as a social and political phenomenon and demonstrate that Jim Crow was so engrained into the fabric of American life that it took a national effort spearheaded by all three branches of the federal government to wrench it away from the American experience. (Author abstract)Item “We Just Came Apart”: How the Nonviolent Actions of the Civil Rights Movement Led to the “Revolutionary Violence” of Black Power(Southern New Hampshire University, 2023-01-10) Lucas, Danielle Rose; Bartee, Seth; Denning, Robert“‘We Just Came Apart’: How the Nonviolent Actions of the Civil Rights Movement Led to the ‘Revolutionary Violence’ of Black Power” is devoted to uncovering the relationship between the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements in order to identify how the shortcomings of the Civil Rights Movement led to the armed self-defense activism associated with Black Power. Both movements had a similar ideological basis that promoted equality for all Americans, yet the tactics that were pursued to achieve their respective goals were vastly different. In the historiography of the Civil Rights Era, Black Power has continually been vilified in the available literature and displayed historically as being ineffective when compared to Civil Rights. This project challenges that assumption and provides evidence for how successful Black Power activism actually was. In the primary sources of Black Power activities, such as the various newspaper articles from the Los Angeles Times that were reviewed, the media denounced the efficacy of the activists and their protests which led to this trend being shown in the early historical literature written on the topic. Secondary sources were used in the development of this project that both strengthened and challenged key conclusions, and primary sources were provided to support the conclusions found here when they conflicted with what other historians have previously found. “‘We Just Came Apart’” is devoted to reinterpreting how Black Power has been viewed in historical literature, as well as to link how the deficiencies of the Civil Rights Movement allowed Black Power to burgeon.
