Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Incidents in the Life of Jacob Barker, of New Orleans, Louisiana: With Historical Facts, His Financial Transactions With the Government, and His Course on Important Political Questions, From 1800 to 1855 The object of this book is to present the genealogy of Jacob Barker to his fellow-citizens, with some incidents of his eventful life, which has already extended more than three-quarters of a century, with a narrative of his friendly relations with many distinguished men, and of his combats with those who endeavored to impugn his every act. Mr. Barker is particularly anxious to have his political opinions perpetuated, and that his action in the support of his country at the time of her greatest need should be known in detail, and finally, that the facts which constitute the merits of his existing claim on the government of the United States for money lent to carry on the war with Great Britain of 1812, should be placed before the public. He cannot but think that if a member of the Federal party, when they were in power, had rendered similar services, he would have been dealt with very differently; the whole land would have resounded with his praise. The reader may find some interest in the perusal of the letter of General Washington to Mr. Madison; the articles of the Philadelphia Association, formed ten years before the revolution, not to import British fabrics; the history of Nantucket; the character of John Wells; incidents in the life of General Armstrong; the opinions of many illustrious men as expressed by themselves; the speeches of Mr. Barker and of his counsel on the duelling and conspiracy trials; the certiorari of Judge Woodworth; a review of the causes which led to the war of 1812; of the restrictive system; of the battle of Bladensburg; of the capture of the city of Washington; with Mr. Barker's remarks concerning a national bank; the finances of the nation; its currency; the Democratic and Federal parties; a chronological sketch of the ancestry of Doctor Franklin. From these points, taken together, some interesting facts connected with the history of the country may be gathered. The Author has had free access to the journal, correspondence, and other papers of Mr. Barker, and been permitted to select therefrom for publication such as he might think would be of interest to the reader. Mr. Barker's political opinions subjected him and his measures to the uncompromising hostility of those who entertained different views, the effect of which was to sharpen his appetites, lead him into combat, and urge him forward totally regardless of consequences; this, together with his pride of opinion and love of victory, occasioned him many difficulties which men less impulsive and less confiding in themselves would have avoided; the freedom with which he handled his opponents indicated his confidence in the goodness of his cause, and established the independent character of his mind. From what was said and written by himself and by his friends, the reader will be enabled to form a better opinion than from anything the Author can add; his temperance, industry and enterprise, may be thought worthy of imitation by those youths who have to wrestle with the rough and selfish world for fortune and fame; his example may inspire them with confidence to undertake what otherwise would seem fraught with too many difficulties. Although friendless and pennyless, with a very limited education, he did not hesitate to embark on a sea of uncertainty in transactions of the first magnitude, and accomplished much.

This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the 2022 Pulitzer Prize in History Finalist for the 2022 Lincoln Prize Winner of the 2022 John Nau Book Prize in American Civil War Era History One of NPR's Best Books of 2021 and a New York Times Critics' Top Book of 2021 A groundbreaking history of the movement for equal rights that courageously battled racist laws and institutions, Northern and Southern, in the decades before the Civil War. The half-century before the Civil War was beset with conflict over equality as well as freedom. Beginning in 1803, many free states enacted laws that discouraged free African Americans from settling within their boundaries and restricted their rights to testify in court, move freely from place to place, work, vote, and attend public school. But over time, African American activists and their white allies, often facing mob violence, courageously built a movement to fight these racist laws. They countered the states’ insistences that states were merely trying to maintain the domestic peace with the equal-rights promises they found in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. They were pastors, editors, lawyers, politicians, ship captains, and countless ordinary men and women, and they fought in the press, the courts, the state legislatures, and Congress, through petitioning, lobbying, party politics, and elections. Long stymied by hostile white majorities and unfavorable court decisions, the movement’s ideals became increasingly mainstream in the 1850s, particularly among supporters of the new Republican party. When Congress began rebuilding the nation after the Civil War, Republicans installed this vision of racial equality in the 1866 Civil Rights Act and the Fourteenth Amendment. These were the landmark achievements of the first civil rights movement. Kate Masur’s magisterial history delivers this pathbreaking movement in vivid detail. Activists such as John Jones, a free Black tailor from North Carolina whose opposition to the Illinois “black laws” helped make the case for racial equality, demonstrate the indispensable role of African Americans in shaping the American ideal of equality before the law. Without enforcement, promises of legal equality were not enough. But the antebellum movement laid the foundation for a racial justice tradition that remains vital to this day.
Download or read book The Carceral City written by John Bardes and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2024-04-02 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans often assume that slave societies had little use for prisons and police because slaveholders only ever inflicted violence directly or through overseers. Mustering tens of thousands of previously overlooked arrest and prison records, John K. Bardes demonstrates the opposite: in parts of the South, enslaved and free people were jailed at astronomical rates. Slaveholders were deeply reliant on coercive state action. Authorities built massive slave prisons and devised specialized slave penal systems to maintain control and maximize profit. Indeed, in New Orleans—for most of the past half-century, the city with the highest incarceration rate in the United States—enslaved people were jailed at higher rates during the antebellum era than are Black residents today. Moreover, some slave prisons remained in use well after Emancipation: in these forgotten institutions lie the hidden origins of state violence under Jim Crow. With powerful and evocative prose, Bardes boldly reinterprets relations between slavery and prison development in American history. Racialized policing and mass incarceration are among the gravest moral crises of our age, but they are not new: slavery, the prison, and race are deeply interwoven into the history of American governance.
