The High Water Mark of Social History in Civil War Studies

Just hours before the Army of Northern Virginia raised the white flag at Appomattox Court House, Confederate Colonel Edward Porter Alexander approached his commanding officer, Robert E. Lee, with what he hoped was a game-saving plan. Rather than suffer the mortification of surrendering, Alexander begged Lee to scatter his men across the countryside like “rabbits & partridges” where they could continue waging war, not as regular Confederate soldiers, but as elusive guerrilla fighters. Lee listened patiently to his subordinate’s reasoning for irregular warfare. Before Alexander finished, he reminded Lee that the men were utterly devoted to their commanding general, and that such loyalty would continue to inspire the sacrifice of more blood, even if it meant taking to the woods and fighting like common outlaws. When Alexander concluded his impassioned plea, Lee asked his subordinate to imagine what would happen if he turned Alexander’s suggestion into official policy. But before Alexander had a chance to respond, Lee reminded him that virtually every Southern community had been overrun by Union armies, that farms were in disarray, and that crops were ruined. Lee feared that his veterans, upon returning home, would have no choice but to plunder and rob for survival. It would take no time for his disciplined army to descend into a demoralized mob that would take the rest of the South into a downward spiral of unending and unrestrained violence. “As for myself,” Lee concluded, “while you young men might afford to go to bushwhacking, the only proper & dignified course for me would be to surrender myself & take the consequences of my actions.” [excerpt

Identity, Community, and Nikki S. Lee

This research sheds light on the complex artistry of Korean-born photographer Nikki S. Lee. Although Lee\u27s work initially appears straightforward and casual, this essay explores how photographs in The Hip Hop Project and The Tourist Project actually reinforce and critique specific cultural stereotypes. In performing different ethnic and cultural identities for her photographs, Lee also investigates what it means to one\u27s own identity to be labeled part of a specific community

Take on Appomattox

On April 9, 1865, Palm Sunday, Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant met in the front parlor of Wilmer McLean’s house in the little village of Appomattox Court House to discuss the status of their two armies. After swapping stories of the days of their Mexican War service, the two men finally penned their names on terms of surrender, effectively ending the American Civil War. Grant, magnanimous towards the now defeated Confederates, and Lee, humble in his loss, ushered in the era of reconciliation that would bandage up the past four bloody years and push the reunited country forward together as one.

Leveille, Lee

Lee Leveille is a 30-year-old Californian transplant that grew up in Sumner and Greene, ME. S/he works as an intentional peer support specialist in central Maine and is currently finishing up his/her bachelor’s in Psychology and Community Studies at the University of Maine at Machias. S/he is an active member of his/her local synagogue after beginning the conversion process to Judaism in 2016. Lee considers him/herself to be a transgender butch, or someone who lives simultaneously as both a butch woman and transman. His/her pronouns are thus conditional in order to provide him/her with the flexibility to adapt to different environments. S/he hopes to bring more visibility to how living in these two worlds can influence each other, as well as seeking to mend rifts between different groups in the LGBT community. Leveille lives in central Maine. S/he discusses their experience with gender using a metaphor about living in multiple worlds. Throughout the interview Lee stresses his/her distaste for socially constructed identity boxes. S/he also delves into topics such as bullying, intimate partner violence, and abuse; being autistic; and converting to Judaism.

Letter, S. H. Pope to W. H. Lee; 2/19/1865

Letter, Samuel H. Pope in Shuqualak, Mississippi, to William Hollinshed Lee, at the Officer\u27s Hospital in Uniontown, Alabama, expressing his desire for Lee to visit him at his boarding house. Sims was wounded and captured. Pope sympathizes with Lee\u27s unpleasant experience in the hospital. General Stephen D. Lee and Regina Harrison had a \u27\u27grand affair\u27\u27 of a wedding, and \u27\u27Maj. Blewitt gave them a large Confederate party the following evening.\u27\u27 Pope doesn\u27t believe that war time is the right time to get married. 1865.https://scholarsjunction.msstate.edu/mss-san-lee-sar-papers/1003/thumbnail.jp

Letter, S. H. Pope to W. H. Lee; 1/8/1865

Letter, Samuel H. Pope in Shuqualak, Mississippi, to William Hollinshed Lee, at the Officer\u27s Hospital in Uniontown, Alabama. Pope is stationed in Shuqualak as Purchasing Commissary. He invites Lee to visit Columbus and mentions that he can stay with Mrs. Morrow (Pope\u27s mother-in-law) and \u27\u27Miss Clodie\u27\u27 (Clotille Morrow). He wonders if Lee can work out a transfer to the hospital in Columbus. \u27\u27All excitement from Raids has subsided.\u27\u27 Sam Battle Fort was shot through both shoulders in November and was \u27\u27unable to push on a coat.\u27\u27 Pope explains why didn\u27t receive his recent mail in a timely way; when he telegraphed Lee, he had \u27\u27just returned from a tour of inspection on horse back, through the interior of the state.\u27\u27 1865.https://scholarsjunction.msstate.edu/mss-san-lee-sar-papers/1002/thumbnail.jp

The Shell Model, the Renormalization Group and the Two-Body Interaction

The no-core shell model and the effective interaction $V_{{\rm low} k}$ can both be derived using the Lee-Suzuki projection operator formalism. The main difference between the two is the choice of basis states that define the model space. The effective interaction $V_{{\rm low} k}$ can also be derived using the renormalization group. That renormalization group derivation can be extended in a straight forward manner to also include the no-core shell model. In the nuclear matter limit the no-core shell model effective interaction in the two-body approximation reduces identically to $V_{{\rm low} k}$. The same considerations apply to the Bloch-Horowitz version of the shell model and the renormalization group treatment of two-body scattering by Birse, McGovern and Richardson
