Download or read book King’S Native Sons written by Larry Kenneth Alexander and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chattel slavery in colonial America was an attack upon dynastic rule. The shot heard around the world was not a musket shot fired in April 1775. Rather, it was the verdict of Englands Supreme Court that slavery is an odious scheme and not authorized under Englands rule of law in June 1772. Englands traditions and rule of law were immutableit was truly a nation of laws and not of men. Depriving native sons of liberty at birth was unconstitutional. Colonial chattel slave practices were criminal enterprises, and Queen Charlotte, the wife of Englands King George the Third, recognized it as a threat to her son the Prince of Waless ascension to the British throne due to her obvious and much talked-about African heritage. Englands Queen Charlotte was black under the black codes one-drop rule, and she knew that if black native sons could lose their birthrights, though the rule of law declares them to be Englishmen, that pretenders to the kings throne might challenge her sons birthright. The queen concerned herself with great interest in the habeas corpus case of a colony of Virginia-born black named James Somersett. The significance of the Somersett habeas corpus case was Englands emancipation of its slaves has escaped telling. Told with all the power and drama of a novel, Kings Native Sons: Lies, Lessons and Legacies is an extraordinary account of a pulse-pounding human drama framed by political intrigue and raw human emotions (Larry Kenneth Alexander, cultural theorist).

Download or read book Sister Carrie written by Theodore Dreiser and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 1999-03-02 with total page 754 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time "Theodore Dreiser is a man who, with the passage of time, is bound to loom larger and larger in the awakening aesthetic consciousness of America. Among all of our prose writers he is one of the few men of whom it may be said that he has . . . never been a trickster. If there is a modern movement in American prose writing, a movement toward greater courage and fidelity to life in writing, Theodore Dreiser is the pioneer and the hero of the movement."--Sherwood Anderson Long before she was seduced by the cautious and ordinary man whose life she would unravel with no malice and only intermittent interest, the young Carrie Meeber was seduced by the promise of the city--its vitality and reckless possibility, the thrill of material luxury, and the spectacle of power and industry. Banned on publication for its questionable morals, Sister Carrie is the great American novel of seduction, a masterpiece of insight into appetite and innocence. "Such a novel as Sister Carrie stands quite outside the brief traffic of the customary stage. It leaves behind an inescapable impression of bigness, of epic sweep and dignity. It is not a mere story, not a novel in the customary American meaning of the word; it is at once a psalm of life and a criticism of life. . . . [Dreiser's] aim is not merely to tell a tale; his aim is to show the vast ebb and flow of forces which sway and condition human destiny. The thing he seeks to do is to stir, to awaken, to move. One does not arise from such a book as Sister Carrie with a smirk of satisfaction; one leaves it infinitely touched."--H. L. Mencken
