But the townspeople of Oberlin, Ohio, believed there that all people deserved to be free, so Price started a new life in town-until a crew of slave-catchers arrived and apprehended him. When the residents of Oberlin heard of his capture, many of them banded together to demand his release in a dramatic showdown that risked their own freedom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though coming from humble beginnings, the Daniels family has lived in relative peace and prosperity. And while they are Jewish, they call themselves Persians and, for 2,500 years, declare Iran as their home. Though imperfect (then again, what is?), they have enjoyed the benefits of the shah¿s rule, with his forward-looking policy for Iran. Then came Ayatollah Khomeini¿s rise to power and his subsequent takeover of this ancient land of Iran. Disillusioned students, hiding behind the fervor of their philosophical and religious convictions, as well as opportunistic rebels and people without morals or conscience, flocked to the ayatollah¿s side, performing under his banner acts of atrocities and violence that set the country backward. And out of all this, the Daniels family, including many others, is caught in the middle, targeted by malicious people under the guise of their so-called revolution.

Besides, he doesn't have much choice—he broke the Code when he freed a friend who had been accused of rogue piracy, and he can no longer show his face in Shipwreck Cove. When Jack's ship is attacked by pirates and his captain dies in the altercation, he suddenly finds himself in command.
Book Synopsis The Price of Freedom by : Calvin Coolidge
Download or read book The Price of Freedom written by Calvin Coolidge and published by The Minerva Group, Inc.. This book was released on 2001 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ?Of course it would be folly to argue that the people cannot make political mistakes. They can and do make grave mistakes. They know it, they pay the penalty, but compared with the mistakes which have been made by every kind of autocracy they are unimportant. Oftentimes the inconvenience and loss fall on the innocent. This is all a part of the price of freedom. Unless the people struggle to help themselves, no one else will or can help them. It is out of such struggle that there comes the strongest evidence of their true independence and nobility, and there is struck off a rough and incomplete economic justice, and there develops a strong and rugged national character. It represents a spirit for which there could be no substitute. It justifies the claim that they are worthy to be free.? Calvin Coolidge
Book Synopsis The Price of Freedom by : T. Stephen Whitman
Download or read book The Price of Freedom written by T. Stephen Whitman and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stereotypical image of manumission is that of a benign plantation owner freeing his slaves on his deathbed. But as Stephen Whitman demonstrates, the truth was far more complex, especially in border states where manumission was much more common. Whitman analyzes the economic and social history of Baltimore to show how the vigorous growth of the city required the exploitation of rural slaves. To prevent them from escaping and to spur higher production, owners entered into arrangements with their slaves, promising eventual freedom in return for many years' hard work. The Price of Freedom reveals how blacks played a critical role in freeing themselves from slavery. Yet it was an imperfect victory. Once Baltimore's economic growth began to slow, freed blacks were virtually excluded from craft apprenticeships, and European immigrants supplanted them as a trained labor force.
Book Synopsis The Price of Freedom Denied by : Brian J. Grim
Download or read book The Price of Freedom Denied written by Brian J. Grim and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Price of Freedom Denied shows that, contrary to popular opinion, ensuring religious freedom for all reduces violent religious persecution and conflict. Others have suggested that restrictions on religion are necessary to maintain order or preserve a peaceful religious homogeneity. Brian J. Grim and Roger Finke show that restricting religious freedoms is associated with higher levels of violent persecution. Relying on a new source of coded data for nearly 200 countries and case studies of six countries, the book offers a global profile of religious freedom and religious persecution. Grim and Finke report that persecution is evident in all regions and is standard fare for many. They also find that religious freedoms are routinely denied and that government and the society at large serve to restrict these freedoms. They conclude that the price of freedom denied is high indeed.

Book Synopsis The Price of Freedom by : Piotr Stefan Wandycz
Download or read book The Price of Freedom written by Piotr Stefan Wandycz and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Price of Freedom surveys and explains the fascinating and intricate history of East Central Europe - the present day countries of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Taking a thematic approach, the author explores such issues and controversies as the tension between the industrial developed West and the agrarian East Central Europe, the rise of modern nationalism, democracy and authoritarianism and Communism. While the countries of East Central Europe have differed dramatically from one another, the author asserts that they have been bound by a certain community of fate. These comparisons are traced through the Middle Ages and the Early Modern era to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This exploration reveals that it is no accident that the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland were the first among the former Soviet bloc nations to be admitted to NATO, and are likely to become the first members of the expanded European Union. Thus an understanding of their experiences, contributions and their place within the European community of nations vastly enriches our knowledge of Europe's past and present. The second edition of this distinguished book brings the history of the region up to date. It discusses the events of the post-communist decade of the 1990s and the problems resulting from the transition to democracy and market economy.

Living in a socialist country we faced many challenges but being young and inexperienced we believed nothing could stop us from reaching our goals. After twenty years of persistent work, we were successful but living in constant fear of the communist leaders because of our different beliefs. We realized that money, cars and houses didn't mean happiness. Life without FREEDOM is miserable. Leaving everything behind, we miraculously escaped socialism with our teenage boys. America gave us an opportunity to start a new life. We faced enormous obstacles. On the road of life we experienced everything... disappointments, hate, success, joy, happiness and painful tears which helped us appreciate every moment of life. Our story is one of a kind. It gives a glimpse to the history, political and nationality differences in Slovakia and how serious and funny life could be.
