Book Synopsis The Limits of Liberty by : James David Nichols
Download or read book The Limits of Liberty written by James David Nichols and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2018-07 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Limits of Liberty chronicles the formation of the U.S.-Mexico border from the perspective of the “mobile peoples” who assisted in determining the international boundary from both sides in the mid-nineteenth century. In this historic and timely study, James David Nichols argues against the many top-down connotations that borders carry, noting that the state cannot entirely dominate the process of boundary marking. Even though there were many efforts on the part of the United States and Mexico to define the new international border as a limit, mobile peoples continued to transgress the border and cross it with impunity. Transborder migrants reimagined the dividing line as a gateway to opportunity rather than as a fence limiting their movement. Runaway slaves, Mexican debt peones, and seminomadic Native Americans saw liberty on the other side of the line and crossed in search of greater opportunity. In doing so they devised their own border epistemology that clashed with official understandings of the boundary. These divergent understandings resulted in violence with the crossing of vigilantes, soldiers, and militias in search of fugitives and runaways. The Limits of Liberty explores how the border attracted migrants from both sides and considers border-crossers together, whereas most treatments thus far have considered discrete social groups along the border. Mining Mexican archival sources, Nichols is one of the first scholars to explore the nuance of negotiation that took place between the state and mobile peoples in the formation of borders.

Book Synopsis At the Heart of the Borderlands by : Cameron D. Jones
Download or read book At the Heart of the Borderlands written by Cameron D. Jones and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the Heart of the Borderlands is the first book-length study of Africans and Afro-descendants in the frontiers of Spanish America. While people of African descent have formed part of most borderlands histories, this study recognizes and explains their critical contribution to the formation of frontier spaces. Lack of imperial control coupled with Spain's desperation for settlers and soldiers in frontier areas facilitated the social mobility of Afro-descendants. This need allowed African descendants to become not just members of borderland societies but leaders of it as well. They were essential actors in helping to shape the limits of the Spanish empire. Africans and Afro-descendants built, opposed, and shaped Spanish hegemony in the borderlands, taking on roles that would have been impossible or difficult in colonial centers due to the socio-racial hierarchy of imperial policies and practices.

Book Synopsis South to Freedom by : Alice L Baumgartner
Download or read book South to Freedom written by Alice L Baumgartner and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant and surprising account of the coming of the American Civil War, showing the crucial role of slaves who escaped to Mexico. The Underground Railroad to the North promised salvation to many American slaves before the Civil War. But thousands of people in the south-central United States escaped slavery not by heading north but by crossing the southern border into Mexico, where slavery was abolished in 1837. In South to Freedom, historianAlice L. Baumgartner tells the story of why Mexico abolished slavery and how its increasingly radical antislavery policies fueled the sectional crisis in the United States. Southerners hoped that annexing Texas and invading Mexico in the 1840s would stop runaways and secure slavery's future. Instead, the seizure of Alta California and Nuevo México upset the delicate political balance between free and slave states. This is a revelatory and essential new perspective on antebellum America and the causes of the Civil War.
Book Synopsis Freebooters and Smugglers by : Ernest Obadele-Starks
Download or read book Freebooters and Smugglers written by Ernest Obadele-Starks and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1891 a young W. E. B. DuBois addressed the annual American Historical Association on the enforcement of slave trade laws: “Northern greed joined to Southern credulity was a combination calculated to circumvent any law, human or divine.” One law in particular he was referring to was the Abolition Act of 1808. It was specifically passed to end the foreign slave trade. However, as Ernest Obadele-Starks shows, thanks to profiteering smugglers like the Lafitte brothers and the Bowie brothers, the slave trade persisted throughout the south for a number of years after the law was passed. Freebooters and Smugglers examines the tactics and strategies that the adherents of the foreign slave trade used to challenge the law. It reassesses the role that Americans played in the continuation of foreign slave transshipments into the country right up to the Civil War, shedding light on an important topic that has been largely overlooked in the historiography of the slave trade.

Book Synopsis At the Precipice by : Shearer Davis Bowman
Download or read book At the Precipice written by Shearer Davis Bowman and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2010-10-04 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did eleven slave states secede from the Union in 1860-61? Why did the eighteen free states loyal to the Union deny the legitimacy of secession, and take concrete steps after Fort Sumter to subdue what President Abraham Lincoln deemed treasonous rebellion? At the Precipice seeks to answer these and related questions by focusing on the different ways in which Americans, North and South, black and white, understood their interests, rights, and honor during the late antebellum years. Rather than give a narrative account of the crisis, Shearer Davis Bowman takes readers into the minds of the leading actors, examining the lives and thoughts of such key figures as Abraham Lincoln, James Buchanan, Jefferson Davis, John Tyler, and Martin Van Buren. Bowman also provides an especially vivid glimpse into what less famous men and women in both sections thought about themselves and the political, social, and cultural worlds in which they lived, and how their thoughts informed their actions in the secession period. Intriguingly, secessionists and Unionists alike glorified the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, yet they interpreted those sacred documents in markedly different ways and held very different notions of what constituted "American" values.

Download or read book Runaways in Texas written by Lodis Rhodes and published by Lyndon Baines Johnson Foundation. This book was released on 1985 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public concern for children has become more visible during the last decade as awareness of child abuse and neglect has increased. It is difficult to design policies to deal with troubled youth who run away. Because families of runaways are often looked upon as failures, there is a reluctance among families to report the runaway. Families may not define leaving home without permission as runaway behavior. Statistical estimates of runaways are difficult because of timing of the estimates, survey bias, and political trends. This study attempted to estimate the number of runaways and determine the type of services they and their families receive in Texas. A questionnaire was completed by 1,022 Texas households having children between the ages of 10 and 17. Respondents provided demographic, runaway, and social service information. The results showed that approximately two percent of the households (N=19) reported a runaway incident. Racial percentages of runaways resembled the state's racial composition. The median income of families reporting runaways was higher than the state average, suggesting that the poorest families were not necessarily experiencing the most runaway behavior. The survey did not generate information about the need for new services for runaways and their families. Several types of youth can be classified as runaways. Some children leave home of their own choosing, others are asked to leave by their parents, and others leave to escape abuse or neglect. A general survey on runaways will not reveal these different populations or their respective needs for services. The survey questionnaire and tables of results are included. (ABL)
