Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Trip to British Honduras, and to San Pedro, Republic of Honduras The latitude is further south and nearer the equator, and it is a well authenticated fact that it is more desirable in a Hygienic point of view to remove from a warm to a cold climate, in a majority of instances, than from a northern to a latitude nearer the equator. Here most of us are acclimated, and if taken sick we have physicians who are acquainted with the diseases of our section, and our peculiar idiosyncracies, and consequently there would be a better chance of our recovery than would be the case in another latitude, however skillful the treatment of our case might be, if unaccompanied by the circumstances above named. Here we have friends who will rejoice with us in our prosperity, and who will sympathize with us in our misfortunes, which we can not expect in a strange land. In a word, this is home; land that is ours; doubly ours; having been bequeathed to us by our forefathers, who sacrificed their lives in the war of the revolution, and by those who so recently died in the vain attempt to place our section in a position of independence. Should this country not be dearer than ever to us because of these reflections? Should we not remain here and keep forever green the graves of departed heroes, or should we desert a land that has been bought at such a price, and forget the suffering and privation of those who are now beyond reach of our sympathy, and whom no word of encouragement can reach, but whose memories we should cherish, and whose deeds we should keep forever fresh in our memories? Should we forget the midnight bivouac and scanty meal, with the cold wet ground for our bed and the canopy of heaven our only covering? the long and tiresome marches, through rain, snow and ice, with naked feet and ragged clothing?

Download or read book Confederate Settlements in British Honduras written by Donald C. Simmons, Jr. and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the American Civil War and the years immediately following, thousands of Confederate sympathizers and former soldiers left the southern United States to seek exile in other lands. Evidence suggests that more Confederate soldiers went to British Honduras, presently known as Belize, than any other single site. This work is an in-depth look at the settlements established by former Confederates--what lured the Confederates there, what the trip from New Orleans was like, what life was like for immigrants in Belize City, the settlements at Toledo, New Richmond, northern British Honduras, Manattee and other settlements, and what Belize City was like at the height of the immigrant influx. Also included are lists of arrivals at the hotels and passenger lists from the ships; both were important in identifying prominent Confederates who sought refuge in British Honduras.
Download or read book Confederates in the Tropics written by Sharon Hartman Strom and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2011-05-17 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Swett (1828-1910) was a prosperous Vicksburg merchant and small plantation owner who was reluctantly drawn into secession but then rallied behind the Confederate cause, serving with distinction in the Confederate Army. After the war some of Swett's peers from Mississippi and other southern states invited him to explore the possibility of settling in British Honduras or the Republic of Honduras. Confederates in the Tropics uses Swett's 1868 travelogue to explore the motives of would-be Confederate migrants' fleeing defeat and Reconstruction in the United States South. The authors make a comparative analysis of Confederate communities in Latin America, and use Charles Swett's life to illustrate the travails and hopes of the period for both blacks and whites. Swett's diary is presented here in its entirety in a clear, accessible format, edited for contemporary readers. Swett's style, except for his passionate prefatory remarks, is a remarkably unsentimental, even scientific look at Belize and Honduras, more akin to a field report than a romantic travel account. In a final section, the authors suggest why the expatriate communities of white Southerners nearly always failed, and follow up on Swett's life in Mississippi in a way that sheds light on why disgruntled Confederates decided to remain in or eventually to return to the U.S. South.

Download or read book Empire s Crossroads written by Carrie Gibson and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Empire's Crossroads, Carrie Gibson offers readers a vivid, authoritative and action-packed history of the Caribbean. For Gibson, everything was created in the West Indies: the Europe of today, its financial foundations built with sugar money: the factories and mills built as a result of the work of slaves thousands of miles away; the idea of true equality as espoused in Saint Domingue in the 1790s; the slow progress to independence; and even globalization and migration, with the ships passing to and fro taking people and goods in all possible directions, hundreds of years before the term 'globalization' was coined. From Cuba to Haiti, from Dominica to Martinique, from Jamaica to Trinidad, the story of the Caribbean is not simply the story of slaves and masters - but of fortune-seekers and pirates, scientists and servants, travellers and tourists. It is not only a story of imperial expansion - European and American - but of global connections, and also of life as it is lived in the islands, both in the past and today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I'm extremely impressed by Johnson's book. Diaspora Conversions offers an outstanding combination of theoretical acuity, erudition, and ethnographic prowess. It is bound to become highly influential in the study of religion in motion."—Manuel A. Vasquez, co-author of Globalizing the Sacred: Religion Across the Americas "Johnson's work bursts through the present conversations on African diaspora and brings us onto entirely new ground, shattering simplistic ideas and replacing them with critical distinctions. This smart and talented ethnographer succeeds in combining detailed and rich ethnographic fieldwork with an unrelentingly critical and sophisticated analysis. Johnson's work brings to life one of the most central, perhaps the most central, classic question of African American anthropology: "How is Black culture constituted, even through dislocation and displacement?"—Elizabeth McAlister, author of Rara! Vodou, Power, and Performance in Haiti and Its Diaspora "Diasporic Conversions convincingly breaks new ground by showing how the meaning of 'homeland' is fundamentally a product of historically situated and contested forms of collective imagination. What will make Johnson's book a benchmark in the study of the African diaspora, and diasporic situations more generally, is that it is not just a richly documented and rigorously argued ethnography, but a genuine anthropology of historical consciousness."—Stephan Palmié, author of Wizards and Scientists: Explorations in Afro-Cuban Modernity and Tradition
