Book excerpt: The Mexican cartels are desperate. Since the secession, their human trafficking business has dwindled while the presence of military units along the border makes smuggling a far less lucrative proposition. Like a pack of starving predators, the massive criminal organizations turn on each other, preparing to unleash a bloodbath unlike any the world has seen. Out of the chaos rises a new leader, a man whose reputation for strategic thinking and meticulous planning is known throughout the underworld. He has a plan to overthrow the government in Mexico City and bring the cartels into a new era of dominance and profitability. Best of all, he will make it look like Texas is at fault. Zach and Sam are thrust into the middle of the diabolical scheme, the two Rangers fighting for the very survival of the republic and all she has come to represent.

Book Synopsis The Road to Disunion by : William W. Freehling
Download or read book The Road to Disunion written by William W. Freehling and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is history in the grand manner, a powerful narrative peopled with dozens of memorable portraits, telling this important story with skill and relish. Freehling highlights all the key moments on the road to war, including the violence in Bleeding Kansas, Preston Brooks's beating of Charles Sumner in the Senate chambers, the Dred Scott Decision, John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry, and much more. As Freehling shows, the election of Abraham Lincoln sparked a political crisis, but at first most Southerners took a cautious approach, willing to wait and see what Lincoln would do--especially, whether he would take any antagonistic measures against the South. But at this moment, the extreme fringe in the South took charge, first in South Carolina and Mississippi, but then throughout the lower South, sounding the drum roll for secession. Indeed, The Road to Disunion is the first book to fully document how this decided minority of Southern hotspurs took hold of the secessionist issue and, aided by a series of fortuitous events, drove the South out of the Union. Freehling provides compelling profiles of the leaders of this movement--many of them members of the South Carolina elite. Throughout the narrative, he evokes a world of fascinating characters and places as he captures the drama of one of America's most important--and least understood--stories. The long-awaited sequel to the award-winning Secessionists at Bay, which was hailed as "the most important history of the Old South ever published," this volume concludes a major contribution to our understanding of the Civil War. A compelling, vivid portrait of the final years of the antebellum South, The Road to Disunion will stand as an important history of its subject. "This sure-to-be-lasting work--studded with pen portraits and consistently astute in its appraisal of the subtle cultural and geographic variations in the region--adds crucial layers to scholarship on the origins of America's bloodiest conflict." --The Atlantic Monthly "Splendid, painstaking account...and so a work of history reaches into the past to illuminate the present. It is light we need, and we owe Freehling a debt for shedding it." --Washington Post "A masterful, dramatic, breathtakingly detailed narrative." --The Baltimore Sun

Download or read book Secession written by Allen Buchanan and published by Westview Press. This book was released on 1991-09-25 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book-length treatment of an increasingly crucial topic. Professor Buchanan develops a coherent theory of the conditions under which secession is morally justifiable and applies it to historical and contemporary examples. Buchanan locates his account of the right to secede in the broader context of contemporary political thought, introducing readers to influential accounts of political society, such as contractarianism and communitarianism, and showing how the possibility of secession fits into a more complete account of political community and political obligation.This is an important book, not just for political and social theorists, but for any reader concerned with the future of troubled political federations and other states under conditions of ethnic and cultural pluralism.

Book Synopsis The Secession Movement in South Carolina, 1847-1852 (Classic Reprint) by : Philip May Hamer
Download or read book The Secession Movement in South Carolina, 1847-1852 (Classic Reprint) written by Philip May Hamer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-10 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secession Movement in South Carolina, 1847-1852 The period, 1847-1852, forms but a small part of the more than thirty-five years during which may be traced the course of events which found its logical fulfilment in the secession of South Carolina from the Union in 1860. Although limited in time and, in this thesis, restricted largely to one state, the dis union movement of this period possesses a unity and significance sufficient to warrant separate treatment. In its first phase it was primarily a Southern movement in opposition to the attempted prohibition of slavery in the territories acquired as a result of the Mexican War. It developed under the leadership of John C. Calhoun into an effort. To unite the South in a demand for the equality of the slave power within the Union or its independence without the Union. The difficulty of securing concerted action on the part of the slave holding states was demonstrated by the failure of the Nashville Convention, which, however, but for the Compromise of 1850, might have been, as Robert Barnwell Rhet't believed it would be, the beginning of a revolution. In this first phase South Carolina had played an important but not. Too conspicuous part. In the second phase she openly demanded the rejection of the Compromise and the dissolution of the Uni-on. Her disunion majority, however, was split into two factions: one demanding the secession of South Carolina alone from the Union; the other advocating disunion, but only in Pooperation with other Southern states. The victory of the latter faction and the acceptance of the Compromise by the other states prevented any precipitate secession.

Book Synopsis The Secession Movement in Alabama (Classic Reprint) by : Clarence Phillips Denman
Download or read book The Secession Movement in Alabama (Classic Reprint) written by Clarence Phillips Denman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secession Movement in Alabama If the focus is at times shifted to the general Southern movement, it is because the events under consideration, while not peculiar to Alabama, were representative Of her interests. Since Alabama frequently followed the lead Of other states, I have endeavored to place her in the proper relation, even if secondary for a time, in order to show the influence Of those states on her later action. The greater portion Of this monograph was submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Michigan in June, 1930. Professor Ulrich B. Phillips supervised its preparation from its beginnings until his leave in the summer of 1929. In the following year, Professor Arthur H. Hirsch supervised the work. A number of revisions have since been made, the most extensive being, a more detailed statement in the earlier parts of Chapters I and II, giving the Alabamians' views of their grievances which underlay the secession movement, the elaboration Of the material in the earlier part Of Chapter III on the economic aspects of secession, and the addition of material in the last chapter giving the way in which the Ordinance of Secession was received by its opponents. Professor Charles W. Ramsdell of the University of Texas has courteously read the manu script and has given a number of helpful criticisms and suggestions for putting it in its final form.

Book Synopsis Apostles of Disunion by : Charles B. Dew
Download or read book Apostles of Disunion written by Charles B. Dew and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Dew’s Apostles of Disunion has established itself as a modern classic and an indispensable account of the Southern states’ secession from the Union. Addressing topics still hotly debated among historians and the public at large more than a century and a half after the Civil War, the book offers a compelling and clearly substantiated argument that slavery and race were at the heart of our great national crisis. The fifteen years since the original publication of Apostles of Disunion have seen an intensification of debates surrounding the Confederate flag and Civil War monuments. In a powerful new afterword to this anniversary edition, Dew situates the book in relation to these recent controversies and factors in the role of vast financial interests tied to the internal slave trade in pushing Virginia and other upper South states toward secession and war.
Book Synopsis Secession and Separatist Conflicts in Postcolonial Africa by : Charles G. Thomas
Download or read book Secession and Separatist Conflicts in Postcolonial Africa written by Charles G. Thomas and published by ISSN. This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wars fought for political separation have become omnipresent in post-colonial Africa. From the division of Sudan, to the continued fragmentation of Somalia, and the protracted struggles of Cabinda and Azawad, conflict over seccession and separation continues to the present day. This is the first single volume to examine the historical arc of secession and secessionist conflict across sub-Saharan Africa. Paying particular attention to the development of secessionist conflicts and their evolving goals, Secession and Separatist Conflicts in Postcolonial Africa draws on case studies and rigorous research to examine three waves of secessionist movements, themselves defined by international conflict and change. Using detailed case studies, the authors offer a framework to understand how secession and separation occur, how these are influenced by both preceding movements and global political trends, and how their ongoing legacies continue to shape African regional politics. Deeply engaging and thoroughly researched, this book presents a nuanced and important and important new overview of African separatist and secessionist conflicts. It addresses the structures, goals, and underlying influences of these movements within a broader global context to impart a rich understanding of why these conflicts are waged, and how they succeed or fail.
Book Synopsis The Ashgate Research Companion to Secession by : Peter Radan
Download or read book The Ashgate Research Companion to Secession written by Peter Radan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secession is a detachment of a territory from an existing state with the aim of creating a new state on the detached territory. Secession is usually an outcome of the political mobilization of a population on the territory to be detached and, as a political phenomenon, is a subject of study in the social sciences. Its impact on inter-state relations is a subject of study in international relations. But secession is also subject to regulation both in the constitutional law of sovereign states and in international law. Following a spate of secessions in the early 1990s, legal scholars have proposed a variety of ways to regulate the international responses to attempts at secessions. Moreover, since the 1980s normative justification of secession has been subject to an intense debate among political theorists and moral philosophers. This research companion has the following three complementary aims. First, to offer an overview of the current theoretical approaches to secession in the social sciences, international relations, legal theory, political theory and applied ethics. Second, to outline the current practice of international recognition of secession and current domestic and international laws which regulate secession. Third, to offer an account of major secessionist movements - past and present - from a comparative perspective. In their accounts of past secessions and current secessionist movements, the contributors to this volume focus on the following four components: the nature and source of secessionist grievances, the ideologies and techniques of secessionist mobilization, the responses of the host state or majority parties in the host state, and the international response to attempts at secession. This provides a basis for identification of at least some common patterns in the otherwise highly varied processes of secession.
Book Synopsis Crucible of the Civil War by : Edward L. Ayers
Download or read book Crucible of the Civil War written by Edward L. Ayers and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2008-12-30 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crucible of the Civil War offers an illuminating portrait of the state’s wartime economic, political, and social institutions. Weighing in on contentious issues within established scholarship while also breaking ground in areas long neglected by scholars, the contributors examine such concerns as the war’s effect on slavery in the state, the wartime intersection of race and religion, and the development of Confederate social networks. They also shed light on topics long disputed by historians, such as Virginia’s decision to secede from the Union, the development of Confederate nationalism, and how Virginians chose to remember the war after its close.
