Book Synopsis Troubled Refuge by : Chandra Manning
Download or read book Troubled Refuge written by Chandra Manning and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of What This Cruel War Was Over, a vivid portrait of the Union army’s escaped-slave refugee camps and how they shaped the course of emancipation and citizenship in the United States. Even before shots were fired at Fort Sumter, slaves recognized that their bondage was at the root of the war they knew was coming, and they began running to the Union army. By the war’s end, nearly half a million had taken refuge behind Union lines in improvised “contraband camps.” These were crowded and dangerous places, with conditions approaching those of a humanitarian crisis. Yet families and individuals—some 12 to 15 percent of the Confederacy’s slave population—took unimaginable risks to reach them, and they became the first places where many Northerners would come to know former slaves en masse, with reverberating consequences for emancipation, its progress, and the Reconstruction that followed. Drawing on records of the Union and Confederate armies, the letters and diaries of soldiers, transcribed testimonies of former slaves, and more, Chandra Manning allows us to accompany the black men, women, and children who sought out the Union army in hopes of achieving autonomy for themselves and their communities. Ranging from the stories of individuals to those of armies on the move to debates in the halls of Congress, Troubled Refuge probes the particular and deeply significant reality of the contraband camps: what they were really like and how former slaves and Union soldiers warily united there, forging a dramatically new but highly imperfect alliance between the government and African Americans. That alliance, which would outlast the war, helped destroy slavery and warded off the very acute and surprisingly tenacious danger of re-enslavement. It also raised, for the first time, humanitarian questions about refugees in wartime and legal questions about civil and military authority with which we still wrestle, as well as redefined American citizenship, to the benefit but also to the lasting cost of African Americans. Integrating a wealth of new findings, Manning casts in wholly original light what it was like to escape slavery, how emancipation happened, and how citizenship in the United States was transformed. This reshaping of hard structures of power would matter not only for slaves turned citizens, but for all Americans.
Book Synopsis A Woman's Civil War by : Cornelia Peake McDonald
Download or read book A Woman's Civil War written by Cornelia Peake McDonald and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cornelia Peake McDonald kept a diary during the Civil War (1861- 1865) at her husband's request, but some entries were written between the lines of printed books due to a shortage of paper and other entries were lost. In 1875, she assembled her scattered notes and records of the war period into a blank book to leave to her children. The diary entries describe civilian life in Winchester, Va., occupation by Confederate troops prior to the 1st Manassas, her husband's war experiences, the Valley campaigns and occupation of Winchester and her home by Union troops, the death of her baby girl, the family's "refugee life" in Lexington, reports of battles elsewhere, and news of family and friends in the army.

Download or read book Mary Peake and the Mighty Acorn written by David Messick and published by . This book was released on 2019-11 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time when teaching your neighbors to read could put you at great risk, one young mother survived the threat of an unjust law, the start of war, and the burning of her town to become a hero to her community and a role model for all. The story of Mary Peake comes to life as never before in this all-new biography of the legendary educator. Born of mixed-race in Norfolk, Virginia, her mother sends her north for an education. As tensions between the North and South escalate, it is now illegal for Mary to continue her education. Even more, it is illegal to teach any black American to read, whether enslaved or free. Mary returns to Virginia and helps her community by creating the Daughters of Zion to help feed and clothe those in need... but soon, she offers much more. Teaching in secret, her skills become well known. When Virginia secedes from the United States and her home and hometown of Hampton are burnt to the ground, she teaches under an oak tree on what is now the grounds of Hampton University. Moreover, that tree becomes the spot where Abraham Lincoln's emancipation proclamation is first read in the South. Mary Peake and the Mighty Acorn is profusely illustrated with original art, historic photos, and modern images of the places where Mary lived and taught. The book was written with the assistance of the Contraband Historical Society and with full access to archives from the Hampton University Library. Created to be fully accessible to fifth grade readers, it provides a strong introduction to Mary's work for any reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This sweet gay contemporary hits the spot." —Publishers Weekly Their collections may clash but their hearts are a perfect match. Moving to eclectic New Hope, Pennsylvania, and running The Beautiful Things Shoppe is a dream come true for elegant and reserved fine arts dealer Prescott J. Henderson. He never agreed to share the space with Danny Roman, an easygoing extrovert who collects retro toys and colorful knickknacks. And yet here they are, trapped together in the quaint shop as they scramble to open in time for New Hope’s charming Winter Festival. Danny has spent years leading with his heart instead of his head. The Beautiful Things Shoppe is his chance to ground himself and build something permanent and joyful. The last thing he needs is an uptight snob who doesn’t appreciate his whimsy occupying half his shop. It’s only when two of New Hope’s historic landmarks—each as different as Danny and Prescott—are threatened that a tentative alliance forms. And with it, the first blush of romance. Suddenly, running The Beautiful Things Shoppe together doesn’t seem so bad…until Danny’s secret threatens to ruin it all. Carina Adores is home to highly romantic love stories where LGBTQ+ characters find their happily-ever-afters. Seasons of New Hope Book 1: The Hideaway Inn Book 2: The Beautiful Things Shoppe

Book excerpt: A Kirkus Best Book of the Year “A poignant and hopeful glimpse at the past for today’s curious readers.” —Rita Williams-Garcia, Newbery Honor author From the award-winning author of Eliza’s Freedom Road comes the powerful tale of a slave girl’s triumphant journey to freedom with her family during the Civil War. Twelve-year-old Callie Wilcomb and her family are enslaved, and the Civil War gives them hope that freedom may be on the horizon. On May 23, 1861, the State of Virginia ratified their vote to secede from the Union. In Virginia, a window was opened where the laws of the land no longer applied. Because of the Contraband Law, enslaved people no longer had to be returned to their owners, granting them a measure of protection and safety. With the possibility of Callie and her family escaping their bonds forever, Callie is eager to learn and become educated and hopes to teach others one day. Through hardship and loss—with love and strong family ties—Callie proves that freedom is in her stars.
