Download or read book French Colonists and Exiles in the United States written by J. G. Rosengarten and published by Genealogical Publishing Com. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is an attempt to gather together accounts of the various French pioneers and settlements established in the United States during the latter part of the 18th and early 19th centuries. The chapter on French Louisiana, for example, recounts the arrival in 1785 of a number of French Acadians whose transit was subsidized by the King of France. Following is a list of royalists and others who escaped the French Revolution for the safety of America. By the same token, the reader will encounter in 1794 Francois Vannier, who fled the insurrection of Toussaint L'Ouverture in Santo Domingo, taking up land in Monroe County, Pennsylvania. After the Louisiana Purchase, French expatriates served on Zebulon Pike's expedition, organized land companies in Ohio and elsewhere, established communities along the Mississippi, and served in the U.S. Army under Andrew Jackson. Still others, like Hector St. John de Crevecoeur, would write traveler's accounts of American life and culture. One even designed the plan for the new capital of the nation. This comprehensive work includes entire chapters on French soldier-settlers; the Huguenots; French travelers and their memoirs; the Bonapartes and other famous exiles; French settlements in Kentucky, Indiana, and Iowa; illustrious French members of the American Philosophical Society; and the French colony in Gallipolis, Ohio, and the ill-fated one in Asylum, Pennsylvania. Appended to the text, which places hundreds if not thousands of French émigrés in the United States at a particular moment in time, are an annotated bibliography, a list of French place names in America, and an index to names and subjects. Rosengarten's classic treatise on Franco-Americana following the War for Independence is the starting point on its subject and a good bet for any researcher with 18th- or 19th-century French ancestry.

Download or read book Stranger Citizens written by John McNelis O'Keefe and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stranger Citizens examines how foreign migrants who resided in the United States gave shape to citizenship in the decades after American independence in 1783. During this formative time, lawmakers attempted to shape citizenship and the place of immigrants in the new nation, while granting the national government new powers such as deportation. John McNelis O'Keefe argues that despite the challenges of public and official hostility that they faced in the late 1700s and early 1800s, migrant groups worked through lobbying, engagement with government officials, and public protest to create forms of citizenship that worked for them. This push was made not only by white men immigrating from Europe; immigrants of color were able to secure footholds of rights and citizenship, while migrant women asserted legal independence, challenging traditional notions of women's subordination. Stranger Citizens emphasizes the making of citizenship from the perspectives of migrants themselves, and demonstrates the rich varieties and understandings of citizenship and personhood exercised by foreign migrants and refugees. O'Keefe boldly reverses the top-down model wherein citizenship was constructed only by political leaders and the courts.

Download or read book Language Loyalties written by James Crawford and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1992-06 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As late as 1987, two-thirds of the Americans who responded to a national survey believed that English was the official language of the United States. In fact, the Constitution is silent on the issue. Since Senator S. I. Hayakawa first proposed an English Language Amendment in Congress in 1981, Official English has been considered in forty-seven states and adopted by seventeen; the amendment is pending in the 102d Congress. Supporters argue that English has always been our common language—a means of resolving conflicts in a nation of diverse racial, ethnic, and religious groups, and an essential tool of social mobility and cultural integration. Opponents charge that the amendment is unnecessary and that it threatens civil rights, educational opportunities, and free speech, wrapping racist biases in a cloak of patriotism. Language Loyalties: A Source Book on the Official English Controversy provides a balanced, comprehensive guide to this complex and often confusing debate. It is an essential handbook and reference for advocates, educators, policymakers, jurists, scholars, and citizens who seek to join this debate fully informed. Addressing the issues involved in developing America's first planned national language policy, James Crawford has expertly collected and introduced more than eighty-five source documents and articles.

This book was released on 2016-07-05 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the James H. Broussard First Book Prize PROSE Award in U.S. History (Honorable Mention) A major new interpretation recasts U.S. history between revolution and civil war, exposing a dramatic reversal in sympathy toward Latin American revolutions. In the early nineteenth century, the United States turned its idealistic gaze southward, imagining a legacy of revolution and republicanism it hoped would dominate the American hemisphere. From pulsing port cities to Midwestern farms and southern plantations, an adolescent nation hailed Latin America’s independence movements as glorious tropical reprises of 1776. Even as Latin Americans were gradually ending slavery, U.S. observers remained energized by the belief that their founding ideals were triumphing over European tyranny among their “sister republics.” But as slavery became a violently divisive issue at home, goodwill toward antislavery revolutionaries waned. By the nation’s fiftieth anniversary, republican efforts abroad had become a scaffold upon which many in the United States erected an ideology of white U.S. exceptionalism that would haunt the geopolitical landscape for generations. Marshaling groundbreaking research in four languages, Caitlin Fitz defines this hugely significant, previously unacknowledged turning point in U.S. history.
