Download or read book Frontier Democracy written by Silvana R. Siddali and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frontier Democracy examines the debates over state constitutions in the antebellum Northwest (Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin) from the 1820s through the 1850s. This is a book about conversations: in particular, the fights and negotiations over the core ideals in the constitutions that brought these frontier communities to life. Silvana R. Siddali argues that the Northwestern debates over representation and citizenship reveal two profound commitments: the first to fair deliberation, and the second to ethical principles based on republicanism, Christianity, and science. Some of these ideas succeeded brilliantly: within forty years, the region became an economic and demographic success story. However, some failed tragically: racial hatred prevailed everywhere in the region, in spite of reformers' passionate arguments for justice, and resulted in disfranchisement and even exclusion for non-white Northwesterners that lasted for generations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most histories of the Civil War era portray the struggle over slavery as a conflict that exclusively pitted North against South, free labor against slave labor, and black against white. In Freedom's Frontier, Stacey L. Smith examines the battle over slavery as it unfolded on the multiracial Pacific Coast. Despite its antislavery constitution, California was home to a dizzying array of bound and semibound labor systems: African American slavery, American Indian indenture, Latino and Chinese contract labor, and a brutal sex traffic in bound Indian and Chinese women. Using untapped legislative and court records, Smith reconstructs the lives of California's unfree workers and documents the political and legal struggles over their destiny as the nation moved through the Civil War, emancipation, and Reconstruction. Smith reveals that the state's anti-Chinese movement, forged in its struggle over unfree labor, reached eastward to transform federal Reconstruction policy and national race relations for decades to come. Throughout, she illuminates the startling ways in which the contest over slavery's fate included a western struggle that encompassed diverse labor systems and workers not easily classified as free or slave, black or white.
Download or read book A Symphony of Government Design written by Stephanie D. Moussalli and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original constitutions of six Southern frontier states are compared: Louisiana's (1812), Mississippi's (1817), Alabama's (1819), Arkansas's (1836), Florida's (1839), and Texas's (1845). Identical or similar elements are examined, and the historical circumstances leading each constitutional convention to adopt this group of provisions are recounted. The duplicated elements include some of the structures of the three branches of government, some individual rights, the methods of choosing seats of government, adaptations to epidemic disease, and means of enforcing fiscal accountability. Primary sources are the constitutions, the constitutional convention journals, territorial papers, and some legislative records, letters, and newspapers. This historical study of constitutional convergence conveniently summarizes parts of antebellum Southern frontier history and also examines the diffusion of a constitutional core of techniques of self-government.

Download or read book American Frontier Liberty written by Jon Garate and published by . This book was released on 2024-03-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about American frontier liberty and the customary law that makes it possible to live without any government intrusions into the lives of the people. "American Frontier Liberty" is about self-governing at its most basic and pure form. The author spent the first twenty years of his life on a homestead cattle ranch in a frontier community that was isolated from the rest of the world. In this community, the people governed themselves by a little-known law officially known as consuetudinary law, or customary law. This law is based on people living by customs and traditions rather than written enforceable laws. There are no government intrusions, government enforcement officials, mayor, policeman, judge, or lawyer. Customary law develops naturally as people live by customs and traditions. They live the traditions because they choose to. Think of a community where there are no written rules or regulations and no permits of any kind; where people abide by the traditions because they help keep peace in the community. They live by traditions because it is the right thing to do. It isn't easy to live this way, it requires taking responsibility for one's actions, wants, and needs. It requires people to work together to solve their problems and settle their disputes. In principle, customary law requires people to be honest, be good neighbors, do their own share of the work, and for the adults to teach the traditions to the children. These four principles are the foundation of any customary law. This is the kind of community that the author lived in. He tells the stories of his own generation, his father's generation, and his grandfather's generation, and how they applied the law to live peacefully for generations. Learn what it was like to live off the land without the benefit of modern conveniences. The high desert region of northeast California and northwest Nevada, where it was miles between houses and where modern civilization was a world away, sets the scene for Garate's story. The area is known as the Madeline Plains, and the community involved is located at the very southern end of the Plains. The author has lived through all stages of the evolution of liberty in America from its purest from on the frontier to where it is today. His personal experiences with liberty give him a unique, entertaining perspective on the subject. You won't want to miss out on this wealth of knowledge.
