Download or read book Great Britain and the American Civil War Volume One written by Ephraim Douglass Adams and published by . This book was released on 2015-11-20 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Confederacy seceded from the Union shortly after the election of Abraham Lincoln, they hoped to quickly win their independence in a short war. But they also held what they hoped was an ace up their sleeve; they believed their cotton trade made it paramount for European nations to recognize the Confederacy if not intervene in its favor. Lincoln and the North also was aware of the precarious status with Great Britain, and the relationship was quickly tested by the "Trent Affair", which featured the arrest of Confederate diplomats after Union forces boarded a British ship. During the first half of the Civil War, both sides played a game of cat and mouse hoping to curry favor with Great Britain. Ephraim Douglass Adams (1865-1865) was an American educator who became an associate professor of history around the end of the 20th century. From that position he wrote his two-volume history of Great Britain and the American Civil War, one of the most comprehensive accounts of the relationship between Great Britain and the warring United States and Confederate States respectively.

Download or read book Our First Civil War written by H. W. Brands and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A fast-paced, often riveting account of the military and political events leading up to the Declaration of Independence and those that followed during the war ... Brands does his readers a service by reminding them that division, as much as unity, is central to the founding of our nation."—The Washington Post From best-selling historian and Pulitzer Prize finalist H. W. Brands comes a gripping, page-turning narrative of the American Revolution that shows it to be more than a fight against the British: it was also a violent battle among neighbors forced to choose sides, Loyalist or Patriot. What causes people to forsake their country and take arms against it? What prompts their neighbors, hardly distinguishable in station or success, to defend that country against the rebels? That is the question H. W. Brands answers in his powerful new history of the American Revolution. George Washington and Benjamin Franklin were the unlikeliest of rebels. Washington in the 1770s stood at the apex of Virginia society. Franklin was more successful still, having risen from humble origins to world fame. John Adams might have seemed a more obvious candidate for rebellion, being of cantankerous temperament. Even so, he revered the law. Yet all three men became rebels against the British Empire that fostered their success. Others in the same circle of family and friends chose differently. William Franklin might have been expected to join his father, Benjamin, in rebellion but remained loyal to the British. So did Thomas Hutchinson, a royal governor and friend of the Franklins, and Joseph Galloway, an early challenger to the Crown. They soon heard themselves denounced as traitors--for not having betrayed the country where they grew up. Native Americans and the enslaved were also forced to choose sides as civil war broke out around them. After the Revolution, the Patriots were cast as heroes and founding fathers while the Loyalists were relegated to bit parts best forgotten. Our First Civil War reminds us that before America could win its revolution against Britain, the Patriots had to win a bitter civil war against family, neighbors, and friends.
Download or read book The Civil War And the American System written by W. Allen Salisbury and published by Executive Intelligence Review. This book was released on 2015-09-03 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When historian W. Allen Salisbury first wrote this book in 1978, he was seeking to teach Americans that the battle between the American System of economics and the British System of free trade which resulted in the Civil War, was at the center of the political battles of the 20th century. Today, this is even more true. The heirs of Adam Smith and the British Empire are pressing for worldwide adoption of free trade, a system which led to slavery in the 19th century, and would do so again today. And certain U.S. political circles are even openly demanding a return to the principles and Constitution of the Confederacy. Utilizing a rich selection of primary-source documents, Salisbury reintroduces the forgotten men of the Civil War-era battle for the American System: Mathew Carey, his son and successor Henry Carey, William Kelley, William Elder, and Stephen Colwell. Together with Abraham Lincoln, they demanded industrial-technological progress, against the ideological subversion of British "free trade" economists and the British-dominated Confederacy. Salisbury hightlights the career of Henry C. Carey, who, as Lincoln's leading economic adviser, acted to prevent a complete City of London banker's takeover of the United States political-economic system.
Download or read book The Confederate General s of America s Civil War written by Mike Rothmiller and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-09 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been nominated for the prestigious Pulitzer Prize in American history. This book is the authors protest against the removal of confederate statues and monuments. The author wants you to join his fight to preserve the history of the confederacy, and he plans to donate a significant portion of the proceeds from this book to legitimate organizations diligently working to maintain America's history. By purchasing this book, you'll demonstrate your support for keeping the history of the Confederate States of America alive. In the forward of the book, the author eviscerates the woefully ignorant individuals and the despicable pandering politicians demanding the removal of confederate monuments; which in effect, is akin to stealing knowledge from future generations of African American's. Their actions equate to racism. Many people have commented they would have purchased the book simple for the forward and dedication. The book contains over 400 photographic portraits of the courageous generals of the Confederacy. The Civil War was a tragic and bloody rebellion in American history claiming the lives of nearly 700,000 soldiers fighting for the Union and The Confederate States of America. Most historians agree the Confederate soldiers were considered Americans during the war, and are deemed Americans today. Many of the Confederate Generals in this book fought for America in the Mexican War before resigning their commissions to serve heroically in the Confederate States of America military. In the eyes of millions of Southerners and Northerners, these men were true patriots of the South. No one can deny they are an integral part of America history and they must be remembered. After the civil war, the surviving Confederate Generals quickly reconciled with the Union and supported it. Many of these Generals later served in the United States Senate, the United States Congress and as Governors of states. Never forget, as surely as Union Generals viewed themselves as patriots, the Generals of the South considered themselves patriots. All served, all sacrificed. All carried visible and internal wounds for life, and all bled in some fashion. Those are the perils of war and all who served, deserve respect and their place in history. It's been said a picture is worth a thousand words. Each image in this book speaks countess words. "I have fought against the people of the North because I believed they were seeking to wrest from the South its dearest rights. But I have never cherished toward them bitter or vindictive feelings, and I have never seen the day when I did not pray for them." Robert E. Lee
Download or read book The Origins of the American Civil War written by Brian Holden Reid and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Civil War (1861-65) was the bloodiest war of the nineteenth century and its impact continues to be felt today. It, and its origins have been studied more intensively than any other period in American history, yet it remains profoundly controversial. Brian Holden Reid's formidable volume is a major contribution to this ongoing historical debate. Based on a wealth of primary research, it examines every aspect of the origins of the conflict and addresses key questions such as was it an avoidable tragedy, or a necessary catharsis for a divided nation? How far was slavery the central issue? Why should the conflict have errupted into violence and why did it not escalate into world war?

Download or read book Divided Hearts written by Richard J. M. Blackett and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2000-12-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divided Hearts explores the passionate political strife that raged in Britain as a result of the American Civil War. Moving beyond Mary Ellison's 1972 landmark regional study of Lancashire cotton workers' reactions, R. J. M. Blackett opens the subject to a new, wider transatlantic context of influence and undertakes a deftly researched and written sociological, intellectual, and political examination of who in Britain supported the Union, who the Confederacy, and why. The American Civil War had a profound effect on Britain's political culture; no other event during that period -- not in Poland, Hungary, Italy, or British colonies -- compared. Blackett argues that the traditional historiographical assessments of British partisanship along class and economic lines must be reevaluated in light of the nature and changing contours of transatlantic abolitionist connections, the ways in which nationalism framed the debate, and the effect that race -- among other issues -- exerted over the British public's perception of conditions in America. Divided Hearts presents a compelling and innovative thesis, one sure to engage scholars in many fields of history.
