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 140 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 The Causes of Secession (Classic Reprint) by : John Jackson McSwain
Download or read book The Causes of Secession (Classic Reprint) written by John Jackson McSwain and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Causes of Secession The 500 copies of "The Causes of Secession" published in 1917 were soon all called for by the wide demand. It was but a boyhood (perhaps also boyish) essay, but it states some of the striking facts of history and some of the unanswerable arguments. Many school teachers have told me they find it useful in teaching American History. The demand continues, and I am having the same printed again, in the hope that it may help to preserve the correct view of our Federal Government, which is in fact a dual system. Each government - State and Federal - is separate and sovereign within its sphere. Only thus can we hope to preserve the precious rights of local self-government to which largely the peculiar and powerful Anglo-Saxon civilization owes its life. That very self-reliance, individual initiative and inventive genius that have distinguished us in peace and war, take root and flourish in local self-government. To show the wide spread interest still felt and manifested in this subject, even in other sections of the country, I am publishing some of the letters received as a sort of appendix. The subject "Americanism" is on every tongue, but its definition is various and variable. To many it is a chauvinistic boast of military power. But in the hearts of the masses the ideals of freedom, justice and Democracy still survive as the most precious possessions of America. These ideals should be more generally expressed and defined in order that they may be more correctly applied in our political life. When the American people realized that in some vague but real way the life of these ideals were at stake in the World War, they freely and quickly offered all - wealth, comforts, blood, and even life - to save human freedom. The phrase "to make the world safe for democracy" was caught up and passed from heart to heart as the war-cry of this mighty modern crusade.

Book Synopsis The Causes of the Civil War by : Kenneth Milton Stampp
Download or read book The Causes of the Civil War written by Kenneth Milton Stampp and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The causes of the Civil War brings into sharp focus the major issues, real or imaginied, that divided northerners and southerners in a disastrous national crisis. Juxtaposing articles and speeches by men who lived through the struggle with the interpretations of post-Civil War historians, Kenneth M. Stampp brings face to face spokesmen for the major schools of thought. Was slavery the determinig cause? Can the blame be laid either to 'Black Republican' agitation or to the ruthless machinations of a 'Slave Power' conspiracy? Was the war an 'irrepressible conflict' between an agrarian South and an industrialized North? This volume provides no answers. Rather, the readings--including several new selections--reveal the uncertainty about the war's causes that has repeatedly driven historians back to the sources. They help us to enlarge our knowledge and deepen our understanding of the differences that set brother against brother."--Page 4 of cover.

Book Synopsis What Caused the Civil War?: Reflections on the South and Southern History by : Edward L. Ayers
Download or read book What Caused the Civil War?: Reflections on the South and Southern History written by Edward L. Ayers and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2006-08-17 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An extremely good writer, [Ayers] is well worth reading . . . on the South and Southern history.”—Stephen Sears, Boston Globe The Southern past has proven to be fertile ground for great works of history. Peculiarities of tragic proportions—a system of slavery flourishing in a land of freedom, secession and Civil War tearing at a federal Union, deep poverty persisting in a nation of fast-paced development—have fed the imaginations of some of our most accomplished historians. Foremost in their ranks today is Edward L. Ayers, author of the award-winning and ongoing study of the Civil War in the heart of America, the Valley of the Shadow Project. In wide-ranging essays on the Civil War, the New South, and the twentieth-century South, Ayers turns over the rich soil of Southern life to explore the sources of the nation's and his own history. The title essay, original here, distills his vast research and offers a fresh perspective on the nation's central historical event.

Download or read book 1861 written by Adam Goodheart and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-02-21 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping and original account of how the Civil War began and a second American revolution unfolded, setting Abraham Lincoln on the path to greatness and millions of slaves on the road to freedom. An epic of courage and heroism beyond the battlefields, 1861 introduces us to a heretofore little-known cast of Civil War heroes—among them an acrobatic militia colonel, an explorer’s wife, an idealistic band of German immigrants, a regiment of New York City firemen, a community of Virginia slaves, and a young college professor who would one day become president. Their stories take us from the corridors of the White House to the slums of Manhattan, from the waters of the Chesapeake to the deserts of Nevada, from Boston Common to Alcatraz Island, vividly evoking the Union at its moment of ultimate crisis and decision. Hailed as “exhilarating….Inspiring…Irresistible…” by The New York Times Book Review, Adam Goodheart’s bestseller 1861 is an important addition to the Civil War canon. Includes black-and-white photos and illustrations.
