Download or read book Stories of Civil Bend written by Lee Roy Bruner and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-09 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I had many reasons for writing Stories of Civil Bend. One was to show how to overcome adversity in life, while another was to show that every person can do that if they are raised right.I was taught by my father that hard work and the will to do it was necessary for building character, but that all work and no play was unhealthy. When your chores are done there is plenty of time for fun and adventure. All of us make some bad choices, from telling lies to not speaking important truths, but what's important is to learn from those choices.When you read these stories, if you don't laugh out loud once or twice, don't smile a lot, or don't shed a tear now and then, then I will have failed you. I hope not. For all these reasons and more, I also hope that any parent who reads my Stories of Civil Bend will share at least some of them with their children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This small snapshot of the protest movement pays homage to both the determination of ordinary folk and the power of Dr. King’s words. . . . An intergenerational story filled with heart and soul.” — Kirkus Reviews When Alex spies a mule chomping on greens in a nearby garden, he can’t help but ask about it. “Ol’ Belle?” says Miz Pettway. “She can have all the collards she wants. She’s earned it.” And so begins the tale of an ordinary mule in Gee’s Bend, Alabama, that played a singular part in the civil rights movement of the 1960s. When African-Americans in a poor community — inspired by a visit from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. — defied local authorities who were trying to stop them from registering to vote, many got around a long, imposed detour on mule-drawn wagons. As Alex looks into the eyes of gentle Belle, he begins to understand a significant time in history in a very personal way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the immense body of literature about the American Civil War and its causes, the nation’s western involvement in the approaching conflict often gets short shrift. Slavery was the catalyst for fiery rhetoric on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line and fiery conflicts on the western edges of the nation. Driven by questions regarding the place of slavery in westward expansion and by the increasing influence of evangelical Protestant faiths that viewed the institution as inherently sinful, political debates about slavery took on a radicalized, uncompromising fervor in states and territories west of the Mississippi River. Busy in the Cause explores the role of the Midwest in shaping national politics concerning slavery in the years leading up to the Civil War. In 1856 Iowa aided parties of abolitionists desperate to reach Kansas Territory to vote against the expansion of slavery, and evangelical Iowans assisted runaway slaves through Underground Railroad routes in Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. Lowell J. Soike’s detailed and entertaining narrative illuminates Iowa’s role in the stirring western events that formed the prelude to the Civil War.
