Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expansion of the American People, Social and Territorial It is generally conceded that the isolation of America from the world's politics is ending with the close of the century; that the four hundred years of new-world preparation is completed; and that, regardless of questions of ethics or even expediency, the old conditions can never return. This changed position is due especially to the United States. Among the other peoples of America, the slow process of evolution is steadily making for better things than they have known; but the United States has experienced one of those sudden commercial and even external political revolutions, which come without choice and with resistless force. So gradually did evolution prepare the way for this revolution that not the keenest prophet of states-craft foretold the arrival of the United States at its majority. The continent had been crossed, the distant brought near, internal commerce satiated, adjacent foreign trade inaugurated, and a restlessness born of conscious strength and superiority had become manifest. Conviction of the ability to do but precedes the doing. The present time in the United States seems, therefore, to warrant some retrospect of the past; some attempt to collect the details of this making of a nation; some setting forth of the hardships, the problems, the mistakes, and the triumphs of our forefathers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the American People Since the American Revolution, the terms America and American have acquired a specific significance. They apply to the United States of America and its people; but the use of the words in this sense has been more com mon in trade and travel than in literature. There are half a dozen United States in the western world: two in North and four in South America. The words are rarely heard in association with Mexico or Brazil, yet they form a part Of the Official name Of these republics. Our own history, as a nation, shows a distinct line of cleavage in the use of the two words United States. Is our Union to be understood as consisting of the united States, or of the United States? We all agree on the use Of the words of America. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Building an American Empire by : Paul Frymer
Download or read book Building an American Empire written by Paul Frymer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How American westward expansion was governmentally engineered to promote the formation of a white settler nation Westward expansion of the United States is most conventionally remembered for rugged individualism, geographic isolationism, and a fair amount of luck. Yet the establishment of the forty-eight contiguous states was hardly a foregone conclusion, and the federal government played a critical role in its success. This book examines the politics of American expansion, showing how the government's regulation of population movements on the frontier, both settlement and removal, advanced national aspirations for empire and promoted the formation of a white settler nation. Building an American Empire details how a government that struggled to exercise plenary power used federal land policy to assert authority over the direction of expansion by engineering the pace and patterns of settlement and to control the movement of populations. At times, the government mobilized populations for compact settlement in strategically important areas of the frontier; at other times, policies were designed to actively restrain settler populations in order to prevent violence, international conflict, and breakaway states. Paul Frymer examines how these settlement patterns helped construct a dominant racial vision for America by incentivizing and directing the movement of white European settlers onto indigenous and diversely populated lands. These efforts were hardly seamless, and Frymer pays close attention to the failures as well, from the lack of further expansion into Latin America to the defeat of the black colonization movement. Building an American Empire reveals the lasting and profound significance government settlement policies had for the nation, both for establishing America as dominantly white and for restricting broader aspirations for empire in lands that could not be so racially engineered.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Vol. 30: Issued Bi-Monthly, July-December, 1907 Another thing: none Of our possessions will ever be given up until our power has begun to wane, and the days of our decline have fallen upon us. What we have we hold, is the motto of our blood. Show me an instance where - England has set up her perma nent dominion over an inferior people which she has withdrawn; an instance where Germany has done the like and withdrawn; an instance where we Americans have done the like and withdrawn. It is not in our blood to retreat from duty. Cuba is no example; for the Platt amendment established there the most perfect suzerainty in the world, and Cuba was under potential American authority every moment that politicians, for stump speech purposes, were declaiming about our withdrawal and apostrophizing Cuba Libre. Hawaii is no example, for the dis honorable mistake Of withdrawing from those islands has been repaired. NO American public man has ever survived resistance to American territorial expansion. NO American political party has ever successfully Opposed it. The proudest monuments Of many of our greatest statesmen have been their championship of this ex panding instinct of our blood.

Book Synopsis The Territorial Question (Classic Reprint) by : Volunteer Volunteer
Download or read book The Territorial Question (Classic Reprint) written by Volunteer Volunteer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Territorial Question Such a solemn agreement should receive the greatest respect, and the unyielding support of all good citizens. The organic act, or constitution, constitutes the basis upon which all the acts of the government are founded, and by which the people connected with such government are induced to respect and sustain such acts. Many of the people may not always and at all times approve of some of those acts, because their judgments or prejudices may be in opposition; but as they have been enacted by that branch of government which was established by the constitution, they adopt the necessity of compliance until they are repealed or modified in a legal and constitutional manner. A government organized upon such a basis is supposed to be free from the charge of tyranny, and the people are looked upon as being no other than freemen. The constitution being a compact, made by and between the people, possesses therefore a mutual character, which is thus placed beyond the control of the mere prejudices or even the interests of any part of the people, when the enforcement of such prejudices or interests would be calculated to subvert the interests of the other part; and although a majority may uphold such encroachments upon the rights of the minority, yet, if the constitution does not sustain such majority, but, 011 the contrary, condemns its acts, the majority is bound to conform to the requirements of the constitution as soon as those requirements are interpreted by the authority which the same constitution has designated as the umpire and expounder of its provisions, between the government and people, and between the different portions of the people. The constitution having been created, and the several departments of the government for which it provides, having been established by the independent action of the people, it becomes the bounden duty of all good citizens to obey the directions of the several departments, according to the construction of the constitution which each department may put upon their own acts, until such acts are repealed or annulled by the decision of a higher department, as constituted by the constitution. We hold, therefore, that the question with regard to the settlement of the territories belonging to a nation, must be adjusted according to the interests of the whole people of the nation, and not by that of a majority of mere voters, unless the constitution of the nation has clearly defined some other manner of deciding. It is true the majority may assume the right to make their own construction upon their powers under the constitution, and they may attempt to maintain the doctrine to which they give their political support. But in the exercise of this right, they should not allow their prejudices to govern them; they should confine their action entirely within the rules of justice and comity toward all men. They should refrain from committing any overt acts which might lead to the infringement of the rights of their fellow citizens, whether the exercise of those rights accords with their own views or not. All controversies which may arise between the people, should be settled upon a basis of equal justice to all who may have any interest in the settlement of the question in dispute. It is the duty of every citizen of the United States to remember that before the constitution of the United States was adopted, each state was a free and independent government, and that the people of those governments were not compelled by any compact or agreement of whatever kind to jeopardise any of their personal interests for the good of those residing in another state.

Book Synopsis An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States (10th Anniversary Edition) by : Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz
Download or read book An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States (10th Anniversary Edition) written by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller Now part of the HBO docuseries "Exterminate All the Brutes," written and directed by Raoul Peck Recipient of the American Book Award The first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoples Today in the United States, there are more than five hundred federally recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the fifteen million Native people who once inhabited this land. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire. With growing support for movements such as the campaign to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous Peoples’ Day and the Dakota Access Pipeline protest led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States is an essential resource providing historical threads that are crucial for understanding the present. In An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them. And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military. Shockingly, as the genocidal policy reached its zenith under President Andrew Jackson, its ruthlessness was best articulated by US Army general Thomas S. Jesup, who, in 1836, wrote of the Seminoles: “The country can be rid of them only by exterminating them.” Spanning more than four hundred years, this classic bottom-up peoples’ history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative. An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is a 2015 PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature.

Book excerpt: The new edition of Amy Greenberg's Manifest Destiny and American Territorial Expansion continues to emphasize the social and cultural roots of Manifest Destiny when exploring the history of U.S. territorial expansion. With a revised introduction and several new documents, this second edition includes new coverage of the global context of Manifest Destiny, the early settlement of Texas, and the critical role of women in America's territorial expansion. Students are introduced to the increasingly influential transnational concept of settler colonialism, while maintaining a central focus on the ideological origins, social and economic impetus, and territorial acquisitions that fueled U.S. territorial expansion in the nineteenth century. Readers of the revised edition will also find an updated bibliography reflecting both the historiography of American expansion and its transnational context, as well as updated questions for consideration.

Book Synopsis Indigenous Economics by : Ronald L. Trosper
Download or read book Indigenous Economics written by Ronald L. Trosper and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does “development” mean for Indigenous peoples? Indigenous Economics lays out an alternative path showing that conscious attention to relationships among humans and the natural world creates flourishing social-ecological economies. Economist Ronald L. Trosper draws on examples from North and South America, Aotearoa/New Zealand, and Australia to argue that Indigenous worldviews centering care and good relationships provide critical and sustainable economic models in a world under increasing pressure from biodiversity loss and climate change. He explains the structure of relational Indigenous economic theory, providing principles based on his own and others’ work with tribal nations and Indigenous communities. Trosper explains how sustainability is created at every level when relational Indigenous economic theory is applied—micro, meso, and macro. Good relationships support personal and community autonomy, replacing the individualism/collectivism dichotomy with relational leadership and entrepreneurship. Basing economies on relationships requires changing governance from the top-down approaches of nation-states and international corporations; instead, each community creates its own territorial relationships, creating plurinational relational states. This book offers an important alternative to classic economic theory. In Indigenous Economics, support for Indigenous communities’ development and Indigenous peoples’ well-being go hand-in-hand. Publication of this book is made possible in part by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Program in Public Understanding of Science.

Book Synopsis Beautiful Democracy by : Russ Castronovo
Download or read book Beautiful Democracy written by Russ Castronovo and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-05-15 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The photographer and reformer Jacob Riis once wrote, “I have seen an armful of daisies keep the peace of a block better than a policeman and his club.” Riis was not alone in his belief that beauty could tame urban chaos, but are aesthetic experiences always a social good? Could aesthetics also inspire violent crime, working-class unrest, and racial murder? To answer these questions, Russ Castronovo turns to those who debated claims that art could democratize culture—civic reformers, anarchists, novelists, civil rights activists, and college professors—to reveal that beauty provides unexpected occasions for radical, even revolutionary, political thinking. Beautiful Democracy explores the intersection of beauty and violence by examining university lectures and course materials on aesthetics from a century ago along with riots, acts of domestic terrorism, magic lantern exhibitions, and other public spectacles. Philosophical aesthetics, realist novels, urban photography, and black periodicals, Castronovo argues, inspired and instigated all sorts of collective social endeavors, from the progressive nature of tenement reform to the horrors of lynching. Discussing Jane Addams, W.E.B. Du Bois, Charlie Chaplin, William Dean Howells, and Riis as aesthetic theorists in the company of Kant and Schiller, Beautiful Democracy ultimately suggests that the distance separating academic thinking and popular wisdom about social transformation is narrower than we generally suppose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conquest of the United States by Spain: A Lecture Before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Yale University, January 16, 1899 Fifty years from now, the historian, looking back to 1898, will 110 doubt see, in the course which things will have taken, consequences of the proceedings of that year, and of this present one, which will not all be bad, but you will observe that that is not a justification for a happy-go-lucky policy; that does not affect our duty to-day in all that we do to seek wisdom and prudence, and to determine our actions by the best judgment which we can form. War, expansion, and imperialism are questions of statesmanship and of nothing else. I disregard all other aspects of them, and all extraneous elements which have been intermingled with them. I received the other day a circular of a new educational enterprise in which it was urged that, 011 account of onr new possessions, we ought now to devote especial study to history, political economy, and wliat is called political science. I asked myself, why ? What more reason is there for pursuing these studies now 011 behalf of our dependencies than there was before to pursue them 011 behalf of ourselves ? I11 our proceedings of 1S98, we made 110 use of whatever knowledge we had of any of these lines of study. The original and prime cause of the war was that it was a move of partisan tactics in the strife of parties at Washington. As soon as it seemed resolved upon, a number of interests began to see their advantage in it, and hastened to further it. It was necessary to make appeals to the public which would bring quite other motives to the support of the enterprise, and win the consent of classes who would never consent to either financial or political jobbery. Such appeals were found in sensational assertions which we had no means to verify, in phrases of alleged patriotism, in statements about Cuba and the Cubans which we now know to have been entirely untrue. Where was the statesmanship of all this? If it is not au established rule of statecraft that a statesman should never impose any sacrifices on his people for anything but their own interests, then it is useless to study political philosophy any more, for this is the alphabet of it. It is contrary to honest statesmanship to imperil the political welfare of the state for party interests.
