At MHS
John Ferling, University of West Georgia

John Ferling will speak on his new book Whirlwind: The American Revolution and the War That Won It. Balancing social and political concerns of the period and perspectives of the average American revolutionary with a careful examination of the war itself, Ferling has crafted the ideal book for armchair military history buffs, a book about the causes of the American Revolution, the war that won it, and the meaning of the Revolution overall.

Throughout his long career, John Ferling has specialized in the American Revolution. At University of West Georgia for almost 40 years, he taught numerous courses on the Revolution, America’s Founders, and U. S. military history. He is the author of thirteen books, all but two of which have dealt with the American Revolution and its leaders.

This panel brings together two projects on reproductive healthcare and childbirth in early America. As Nora Doyle’s work shows, scholars of early American and Atlantic World history have shown particular interest in the link between perceptions of childbirth pain and the nascent concept of race. Yet by focusing primarily on racial ideology formation, historians have missed opportunities to understand the rich medical cultures in which these women were participants and practitioners. Doyle’s paper focuses on the medical cultures of Native women in early North America to show that these women were concerned about painful and difficult deliveries and therefore availed themselves of a variety of medical techniques and practitioners to manage their birth experiences. Jennifer Reiss’s paper places early American medical and social approaches to impregnation, gestation, parturition, and mothering in the context of early American disability history. It argues that both the male dominated, professionalizing, medical community and women themselves understood the female body and its reproductive labor as disabled and disabling, respectively. While providing a deep history for the current crisis in reproductive healthcare, the paper also suggests that thinking about reproduction as disablement should give additional meaning and nuance to how historians assess the concept of disability before the antebellum era.

This panel examines the presence of loyalism in the North Atlantic following the American Revolution. Alexandra Mairs-Kessler’s work demonstrates how Bermuda, a colony whose population remained loyal to the Crown while simultaneously providing economic support to the rebellion, became home to loyalist refugees seeking to rebuild. Refugees William Browne and Bridger Goodrich highlight the tension between pragmatism and vengeance that was part of the loyalist diaspora. These two refugees from Massachusetts and Virginia took different paths during the war, and both their passive and active choices shaped their lasting attitudes regarding the post-war Atlantic World. This study explores how wartime experiences of violence and loss shaped the relationship between these two men and their new colonial home. Ross Nedervelt’s paper discusses how British officials and loyalists turned neighboring border-sea territories—specifically the Bahamas—into sites where imperial forces challenged the United States and its citizens’ sovereignty through resistance and subversive activities. Bahamian colonists, Seminoles, and Black maroons became strategic players in Britain’s counterrevolutionary operations during and immediately after the War of 1812, and an active threat to the United States’ westward expansion. The Bahamian, Seminole, and maroon groups’ armed resistance resulted in General Andrew Jackson and the U.S. army invading Spanish Florida, solidified the U.S.-British Empire border, and began the development of an American foreign policy intended to resist European interference in the western hemisphere.

Social Reform and Identity Formation in the 17th Century - A Panel Discussion
Hybrid / NOTE: times are shown in EST
Tuesday, April 1, 2025 5:00 PM - 6:15 PM EST
This panel investigates forms of social control in 17th century New England. Arthur George Kamya’s paper examines the regulation of distilled liquor in 17th century Massachusetts Bay Colony, exploring how authorities navigated competing moral, economic, and security imperatives. Initially targeting a cross-section of colonists, liquor laws evolved to focus on servants, Native Americans, and eventually African Americans. The colony's approach shifted from moral censure to pragmatic revenue generation, with officials using fines and licenses to fund government operations. Kamya’s study illuminates how alcohol regulation became a tool of social control, state-building, and the construction of racial hierarchies in colonial New England, offering insights into the complex interplay between commerce, governance, and identity formation in early America. As discussed in Alice King’s work, Connecticut adopted a notable strategy towards certain Indigenous populations during the initial decades of settlement, attempting to control and exploit Native communities by turning them into colonial tributaries who would provide essential supplies, wampum, and military aid. King’s paper considers the evolution of tributary politics at the end of the seventeenth century after the Dominion of New England and Glorious Revolution had destabilized colonial authority and left colonists vulnerable to attack by French and Native forces, including the Wabanaki Confederacy during King William’s War, 1689-1697, when Connecticut leaders sought to raise soldiers for New England’s defense from these historic tributary communities.
