It was a holiday for blacks, with picnics and speeches. 8 was being celebrated as Emancipation Day in Greeneville.
After that, Johnson resisted further civil-rights legislation. More than a year later, Johnson was president in December, 1865, when Congress passed the 13th Amendment, formally ending slavery in all states. Johnson was military governor of Tennessee when he signed the documents freeing all the state’s slaves in October, 1864. However, scholars today cite 1863 as the more likely year. 8, 1862, before the Emancipation Proclamation. However, he became more anti-slavery as the war progressed.Īccording to tradition often cited in the early 20th century, the date Johnson freed his slaves was Aug. Johnson worked to exempt his home state from the provisions of Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, on that grounds that Tennessee was already part of the Union. At an 1861 pro-Union rally on Gay Street in Knoxville, someone fired a shot at Johnson, in an apparent assassination attempt. In fact, some Tennessee Unionists owned slaves, and among them was Andrew Johnson. Many East Tennesseans opposed the Confederacy, but many of those Unionists did not yet oppose slavery. His role in ending slavery is complicated. Johnson, most famous as the 17th president of the United States, lived in Greeneville, Tenn. 8 is believed to be the day Andrew Johnson freed his slaves. There are still mysteries about its origins, but Aug.
This year, the holiday arrives as a week of events related to black culture. Traditionally observed on August 8, it is recently celebrated on the second Saturday in August. However, if properly understood and harnessed, these light-induced effects could make possible an entirely novel methodology for in-situ tuning of organic electronic device physical parameters.This weekend, Knoxville celebrates Emancipation Day. Overlooking illumination conditions and failing to provide a consistent ambient light environment throughout device fabrication will result in non-uniform chain conformations and layering architectures, inevitably impacting device performance. Ultimately, these works cumulatively provide strong evidence indicating that light exposure is in fact an important parameter with far-reaching implications upon the final structure of organic electronic materials.
Finally, the sixth section studies the self-assembly of conjugated polymer composite thin films cast from a single solution through neutron reflectivity, while additionally monitoring the effects of light exposure during the thermal annealing process upon the final film depth profile. The fourth and fifth chapters further expand our understanding of the proposed thermodynamic driving forces behind the light induced structural changes in conjugated polymer solutions first through alterations in solvent quality, and then through fine-tuning of incident light wavelength, exposure time, and intensity. The third chapter explores the structural evolution of solution gels formed from conjugated polymers at multiple length scales using small and ultra small angle scattering, as well as quantifying modifications to this structural progression brought on by white light exposure. The next section outlines an initial exploration of light induced effects on benchmark conjugated polymers in solution elucidated via the use of small angle neutron scattering. The first part of this dissertation provides a background to conjugated polymers, their role in common electronic applications, and the known effects of illumination on polymeric materials. Considering the strong link between polymer chain structure and device efficiency in these materials, a comprehensive understanding of certain experimental conditions which may influence this conformation and thusly alter the functionality of the devices predicated upon them is of vital importance. Conjugated polymers are an important class of optoelectronic polymeric materials which make up the active layer of key organic electronic devices such as organic photovoltaics, transistors, and light emitting diodes. This dissertation explores the effects which illumination has on the structure and conformation of conjugated polymers, both in solution and the bulk.
