Book Synopsis The American Republic by : Bruce Frohnen
Download or read book The American Republic written by Bruce Frohnen and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many reference works offer compilations of critical documents covering individual liberty, local autonomy, constitutional order, and other issues that helped to shape the American political tradition. Yet few of those works are available in a form suitable for classroom use, and traditional textbooks give short shrift to these important issues. The American Republic overcomes that knowledge gap by providing, in a single volume, critical, original documents revealing the character of American discourse on the nature and importance of local government, the purposes of federal union, and the role of religion and tradition in forming America’s drive for liberty. The American Republic is divided into nine sections, each illustrating major philosophical, cultural, and policy positions at issue during crucial eras of American development. Readers will find documentary evidence of the purposes behind European settlement, American response to English acts, the pervasive role of religion in early American public life, and perspectives in the debate over independence. Subsequent chapters examine the roots of American constitutionalism, Federalist and Anti-Federalist arguments concerning the need to protect common law rights, and the debates over whether the states or the federal government held final authority in determining the course of public policy in America. Also included are the discussions regarding disagreements over internal improvements and other federal measures aimed at binding the nation, particularly in the area of commerce. The final section focuses on the political, cultural, and legal issues leading to the Civil War. Arguments and attempted compromises regarding slavery, along with laws that helped shape slavery, are highlighted. The volume ends with the prelude to the Civil War, a natural stopping-off point for studies of early American history. By bringing together key original documents and other writings that explain cultural, religious, and historical concerns, this volume gives students, teachers, and general readers an effective way to begin examining the diversity of issues and influences that characterize American history. The result unquestionably leads to a deeper and more thorough understanding of America's political, institutional, and cultural continuity and change. Bruce P. Frohnen is Associate Professor of Law at Ohio Northern University College of Law. He holds a J.D. from the Emory University School of Law and a Ph.D. in Government from Cornell University.

Book Synopsis With Fire and Sword by : Henryk Sienkiewicz
Download or read book With Fire and Sword written by Henryk Sienkiewicz and published by Standard Ebooks. This book was released on 2021-12-30T03:59:38Z with total page 1014 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goodwill in the seventeenth century Polish Commonwealth has been stretched thin due to the nobility’s perceived and real oppression of the less well-off members. When the situation reaches its inevitable breaking point, it sparks the taking up of arms by the Cossacks against the Polish nobility and a spiral of violence that engulfs the entire state. This background provides the canvas for vividly painted narratives of heroism and heartbreak of both the knights and the hetmans swept up in the struggle. Henryk Sienkiewicz had spent most of his adult life as a journalist and editor, but turned his attention back to historical fiction in an attempt to lift the spirits and imbue a sense of nationalism to the partitioned Poland of the nineteenth century. With Fire and Sword is the first of a trilogy of novels dealing with the events of the Khmelnytsky Uprising and the following wars of the late seventeenth century, and weaves fictional characters and events in among historical fact. While there is some contention about the fairness of the portrayal of Polish and Ukrainian belligerents, the novel certainly isn’t one-sided: all factions indulge in brutal violence in an attempt to sway the tide of war, and their grievances are clearly depicted. The initial serialization and later publication of the novel proved hugely popular, and in Poland the Trilogy has remained so ever since. In 1999, the novel was the subject of Poland’s then most expensive film, following the previously filmed later books. This edition is based on the 1890 translation by Jeremiah Curtin, who also translated Sienkiewicz’s later (and perhaps more internationally recognized) Quo Vadis. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
Book Synopsis Traveled Through a Fine Country by : Henry Brockman
Download or read book Traveled Through a Fine Country written by Henry Brockman and published by . This book was released on 2011-08-17 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Brockman was born February 1, 1824, in Barren County, Kentucky, the son of John and Nancy Elmore Brockman. The family moved to Miller County, Missouri, while Henry was still young. He married Elizabeth Castleman in March 1852, and the couple had nine children. Brockman was an active member of the church, serving as deacon, and an active Mason. Brockman joined the Confederate States Army (CSA) in July of 1862. He enlisted as a First Lieutenant, but soon became Captain of Company K, Tenth Infantry Regiment, Second Missouri Brigade, also known as "Parson's Brigade." The unit participated in battles at Prairie Grove, Helena, and Little Rock, in addition to numerous skirmishes in south Arkansas. They fought in battles in Pleasant Hill and Mansfield in Louisiana. Away on medical leave after being wounded at the Battle of Mansfield, Brockman missed the Battle of Jenkins' Ferry, but he rejoined the men near Camden, Arkansas, where they camped during the winter of 1864-65. Brockman's unit surrendered at Shreveport, Louisiana, in the spring of 1865. During his tour of duty he was instrumental in the creation of a roaming Masonic lodge which was ordained by the Grand Lodge of Arkansas and travelled with the brigade.After the war, Brockman returned home to Miller County, Missouri, where he taught school for a short time before moving his family to Star City in Lincoln County, Arkansas, where some of his descendants still reside today. He died July 27, 1881, and is buried in Butler/Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Lincoln County, Arkansas.Henry Brockman's Civil War journal has been preserved by the Arkansas History Commission for more than one hundred years. The following text is an attempt at an accurate transcription of that journal, allowing Brockman to tell the story of the war in his own words. Parts of the journal were difficult to read, so naturally, some errors are to be expected. Quoted text is presented in italics, while dates of the entries are not in italics, since they have been standardized to increase understanding of the content. No changes have been made in spelling to Brockman's writings, but many dashes have been added for clarity. Researchers should consult the original journal before quoting for publication.
