American Military History (HIST 365) The Reform Period (1866-1914) The Reform Period (1866-1914) Part Three of Six. doc (428k) THE REFORM PERIOD (1866-1914) Introduction At the end of the Civil War, the United States possessed the largest, most experienced, active armed force in the world. Within two years that massive force was gone, its citizen volunteers back on the farm and in the factories. The army and navy returned to traditional duties with their organizations virtually unchanged, although Congress added two infantry and two cavalry regiments of African Americans to the army. For the remainder of the nineteenth century the army served the nation much as it had before 1860. It served largely in the trans-Mississippi west policing or subduing Native Americans. In a series of campaigns beginning in 1866 and culminating in the late 1870s, soldiers broke the power of the Plains Indians and confined them to reservations. They repeated the process in the southwest in the early 1880s. As part of the effort to quell Native Americans the army assisted in the construction of the great transcontinental railroads. The army also continued to act as the nation's police force. It faced frustration in enforcing Reconstruction policy in the south and most soldiers welcomed relief from that failed experiment. As Reconstruction ended, however, the army suppressed rioting railroad workers in 1877, performed similar service during the 1894 Pullman strike, and intervened in lesser labor upheavals through the early 1900s. On all other counts, postwar army life resembled an earlier era of mundane garrison duty in small posts scattered across the nation.

The Art Frame Workshop Held In Trust About Bob Henry Ossian Flipper's life (1856-1940) is the story of dramatic social change in America that marked the post-Civil War period when newly freed blacks struggled for recognition and equality. Born a slave in Thomasville, Georgia, Flipper grew up in Atlanta. An outstanding student, he was the third black to be accepted at West Point Military Academy and the first to graduate. His first assignment was at Fort Still, Oklahoma (Indian Territory), as the black officers of the 10th Calvary "Buffalo Soldiers". There he used his civil engineering training and talents to reduce the spread of malaria by building a drainage ditch. "Flipper's Ditch is now a National Historic Landmark. In the summer of 1881 at Fort Davis, Texas, he fell victim to racial prejudice and was accused of embezzling government funds and "conduct unbecoming an officer". Acquitted of the first charge, but determined guilty of the second, he was dismissed from his beloved army. IN spite of this tragic end to his military career, he then began an outstanding career as a mining engineer. While the climax of the play is Flipper's trial, some lesser known events that follow give an unusual insight into his character. Held in Trust is a magnificent display of showmanship; emotional, gripping, factual, unfortunately true, highly recommended, and well worth attending. -JH Polk, General USA, Ret.

Henry Ossian Flipper - First African American Captain, First African American to Graduate from West Point Henry Ossian Flipper was born in Thomasville, Georgia, on March 21, 1856, into slavery and spent his formative years in Georgia. Following the Civil War, he attended the American Missionary Association Schools in his home state. In 1873 Flipper was appointed to the U.S. Military Academy West Point ), and in 1877 he became the first African-American to graduate from the institution . He was commissioned a second lieutenant and assigned to the 10th Cavalry. From 1878 until 1880 Lieutenant Flipper served on frontier duty in various installations in the southwest, including Fort Sill, Oklahoma. His duties included scouting, as well as serving as post engineer surveyor and construction supervisor, post adjutant, acting assistant and post quartermaster, and commissary officer. In 1881 Lieutenant Flipper's commanding officer accused him of "embezzling funds and of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman." As a result of these charges, he was court-martialed. He was acquitted of the embezzlement charge but was found guilty, by general court martial, of conduct unbecoming an officer. On June 30, 1882, he was dismissed from the Army as required by this conviction. As a civilian, Henry Flipper went on to distinguish himself in a variety of governmental and private engineering positions.

Henry Ossian Flipper From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Henry Ossian Flipper March 21 May 3 ) was the first African-American cadet to graduate from West Point , on June 15 . Born a slave in Georgia , he took advantage of Reconstruction to attend Atlanta University, where, as a freshman, he was given a commission to West Point, where there were already four other African-Americans. The small group had a difficult time at the military academy, where they were rejected by the White students. Nevertheless, Ossian persevered and became the first of the group to graduate, with the rank of second lieutenant in the cavalry. He was soon sent to Texas and later to Fort Sill in then Indian Territory , where he served as an engineer, supervising the drainage of malaria -infested ponds and the construction of roads and telegraph lines . By , he had worked his way up to the position of quartermaster. Throughout this period, his rise through the ranks was encumbered by racism in the military, though he did have the support of many of the White civilians he encountered, who were impressed by his competency. At one point, he was even brought before a court martial, after money went missing in the post. Realizing that this could be used against him by officers intent on forcing him out of the army, he attempted to hide the discrepancy, which was later discovered. Although he was eventually acquitted, he was found guilty of "conduct unbecoming an officer," and in , given a dishonorable discharge. For the rest of his life, Flipper contested the charges and fought to regain his commission.

WEST POINT PIONEER by Larry R. Jordan HENRY OSSIAN FLIPPER MANY ARE AWARE of the distinction that Henry Ossian Flipper holds, but few may be aware of the actual career of Henry Flipper as a cadet, as a cavalry officer, and as a prominent civilian engineer. Henry Ossian Flipper was born 31 March 1856 of slave parents in Thomasville, Georgia. He was the oldest of five brothers who, like him, made significant achievements at a time when the success of a Negro was somewhat of a far-fetched possibility. Flipper began his education by learning to read at age eight with the help of another slave who taught school at night in a woodshop where he worked during the day. After being freed, his family went to Atlanta, Georgia, where his father began working as a shoemaker. Henry Flipper was first formally taught by the wife of an ex-Confederate captain but later began attending a succession of schools established by the American Missionary Association for the new freedmen. The last school Flipper attended was Atlanta University, opened in 1869, where he studied for three years before his appointment to the United States Military Academy. Appointed in 1873, he was the first Negro to graduate but the fifth to enter as a cadet. His future as a cadet seemed grim since the first four had been dismissed on questionable grounds. Flipper often stated that he was treated very courteously by his instructors, but his fellow cadets often treated him with discourtesy. However, he was treated often as an equal in private, but due to the tempo of the times and for fear of being labeled as a friend of a Negro, many of his peers publicly ignored him more as a matter of necessity rather than out of a feeling of contempt. As a result, Flipper maintained his dignity and remained aloof and very polite to all who came in contact with him.

Held in Trust: The Story of Lt. Henry Ossian Flipper An uplifting account of overcoming discrimination without resorting to violence is told in "Held in Trust: The Story of Lt. Henry Ossian Flipper." Flipper (1856-1940) was the first black graduate from West Point Military Academy. Following assignments with the 10th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers, he fell victim to racial prejudice, was framed on a trumped-up case of embezzlement and was dishonorably discharged for "conduct unbecoming of an officer." Flipper tried throughout the rest of his life to clear his name, but he did not live to see his vindication. His friends and family took up the fight and an honorable discharge was conferred posthumously, in 1976. Based on an original one-man, one-act play, Held in Trust weaves historical narration (given by Ossie Davis) with dramatic recreations of an elderly Flipper reminiscing about his life. George Robert Snead appears as Flipper and the production is introduced by General Colin Powell. According to Snead, Held in Trust is a tribute to all African-Americans who withstand tremendous obstacles.

Officers of the 7th Cavalry Parade ground Indian woman Distributing beef West Point provided most of the officers, with the rank and file recruited heavily from immigrants and African Americans. Hierarchy reigned in the frontier army. Officers did not mingle socially with their men, nor did their wives and children have much to do with enlisted families. Garrisons were usually small, rarely more than a few companies, and they were widely scattered. Isolated, poorly paid, often inadequately housed, and very slow to win promotion, bachelor and married officers alike found life on frontier posts harsh, as did military wives and children. Duty was mostly routine, and disability or death were far more likely from disease than combat.
