Download or read book Election Day written by Kate Kelly and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-05 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Election Day" has an interesting and complex heritage that combines the history of our voting practices and suffrage laws with the very wonderful story of how Americans have celebrated the day. Peppered with lively anecdotes and rich with the results of extensive research, "Election Day" makes entertaining reading for the armchair reader and will be a much consulted sourcebook for American history buffs and historians. The book intertwines presidential campaign history with a social and cultural history of the day as it depicts election changes throughout the past 250 years. There are entertaining anecdotes of: How voters throughout the years have voted early and often. How soldiers first got the right to vote from the battlefield. How Times Square in its heyday prepared for election eve. The role of the electronic media in modern election days. As the first popular history of our democratic process, "Election Day" takes the reader from oral voting during the colonial period right through to the present day use of optically scanned ballots. Readers accustomed to thinking of our autumn elections as orderly, well-supervised events will discover that boisterousness, fraudulence, hard drinking, and rioting have often marked the holiday in the past.

Download or read book John Randolph of Roanoke written by David Johnson and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2012-05-07 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most eccentric and accomplished politicians in all of American history, John Randolph (1773–1833) led a life marked by controversy. The long-serving Virginia congressman and architect of southern conservatism grabbed headlines with his prescient comments, public brawls, and clashes with every president from John Adams to Andrew Jackson. The first biography of Randolph in nearly a century, John Randolph of Roanoke provides a full account of the powerful Virginia planter's hard-charging life and his impact on the formation of conservative politics. The Randolph lineage loomed large in early America, and Randolph of Roanoke emerged as one of the most visible—and certainly the most bombastic—among his clan. A colorful orator with aristocratic manners, he entertained the House of Representatives (and newspaper readers across the country) with three-hour-long speeches on subjects of political import, drawing from classical references for his analogies, and famously pausing to gain "courage" from a tumbler at his side. Adept at satire and uncensored in his verbal attacks against colleagues, he invited challenges to duel from those he offended; in 1826, he and the then-secretary of state Henry Clay exchanged gunfire on the banks of the Potomac. A small-government Jeffersonian in political tastes, Randolph first entered Congress in 1799. As chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee he memorably turned on President Jefferson, once and for all, in 1805, believing his fellow Virginian to have compromised his republican values. As a result, Randolph led the "Old Republicans," a faction that sought to restrict the role of the federal government. In this rich biography, David Johnson draws upon an impressive array of primary sources—Randolph's letters, speeches, and writings—previously unavailable to scholars. John Randolph of Roanoke tells the story of a young nation and the unique philosophy of a southern lawmaker who defended America's agrarian tradition and reveled in his own controversy.

Book excerpt: The following are questions on important subjects intended to help people use their memory in order to retrieve information on subjects they know such as History, Geography, Religion, Science and more trivia and curiosity questions will also be included. This project will be divided into ten chapters with 100 questions for each chapter. The questions represent the first part of the book. The second part of the book includes the answers. Unlike in the Jeopardy Show, which is designed for a new champions, this project is for everyone. No one is required to gamble or play for money. No one is required to pull hair in order to find answers which may not always be so important or indispensible for everyone in real life. It is intended to entertain and to enrich knowledge. Some questions may pertain to one or more subjects or chapters. For example, questions on the Patriarch Abraham, could be found in the chapter on ancient history as well as in the chapter on the Bible. Questions on quotes may pertain to ancient history and scriptures as well as in contemporary writers/scientists. The questions and statements given here are of public domain and are not questions or statements uniquely or specifically made by any educational institution. However, credit is given when due. The answers will be given at the end of the book, so people can use their memory and knowledge before they look for the answer. The author has consulted and researched dozens of books and hundreds of internet sources as written in his bibliography. Some of the answers may be found in books he had previously published, namely The Bible, The Power of the Word (and in between the lines); The Quran and Biblical Origins; One Family, Four Cultures and Four Continents; Whose God is it Anyway?; Love and Romance in the Bible. Those books can be viewed at the following sites: www.amazon.com, www.asherauthor.com, www.xlibris.com and www.lulu.com (click on authors name) The purpose of this work is to have people enjoy daily a few moments of fun. The contents are not in any chronological order. This is not a fiction or drama book that needs to be finished at the end of the day. This will not only be fun to test ones knowledge, but also an excellent tool to sharpen and refresh the mind on different fields of knowledge. In sum, is it important to state that rediscovering old and new facts and data can lead to a certain happiness and personal satisfaction. Knowledge on diverse subjects can help in achieving better self-confidence and self-expression and, overall, a better quality of life for all people. This project has something for everyone. The questions and answers will undoubtedly satisfy readers of all walks of life and of most age groups. Facts, data and world events become so complex that this project. Finally, this project has been inspired by personal experience as it is explained at the end of this book under the title References and Bibliography.
