Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge the following people for their support and encouragement throughout my life and especially during graduate school: I have been truly honored to work with my committee including my major professor Dr. Sue Zschoche, who taught me to love women’s history and to look outside the box; Dr. Lou Williams, who taught me to love Southern history and how Constitutional history is interwoven throughout the story of American history; and Dr. Charles Sanders, who taught me how to teach history. I would also like to acknowledge the support of Dr. MJ Morgan and the Kansas State University Chapman Center for Rural Studies during this project. I cannot thank Cathy Haney and the Clay County Historical Society enough for their help during my research, as well as the staff of the Clay County Courthouse and Kansas State Historical Society. Furthermore, I appreciate the help of Sandra Reddish during this project. I would like to thank the James Madison Memorial Fellowship for their support for my graduate studies. Finally, I would like to thank the Kansas State University Department of History faculty and staff for their assistance throughout my career at K-State. vi
Dedication To my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, without Him I would not have been able to do any of this. To My Parents, without your love, support, and encouragement I would not be where I am today. Thank you for always believing in me! To my Aunt Rita, I am inspired by your love of history. To Jon, Nathan, Jared, Jessica, and Kirstin, thank you for listening and making me laugh! To my extended family and friends, thank you for your prayers, support, and encouragement. To my graduate school friends, thank you for keeping me sane and providing advice! vii
