Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hesperos, Vol. 2 of 2: Or Travels in the West The 'Ben Franklin' had, like all the American Steam-boats, high pressure engines, and therefore, as some sort of security, there were life preservers hung up in every state room, and a talk of accidents, past, present, and to come, was in every ones mouth. We were assured, (and the intimation appeared given in kindness, and with the intention, as we thought, of relieving our fears.) that only ten steamers had been lost on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, within the last month!

Download or read book The Business of Slavery and the Rise of American Capitalism 1815 1860 written by Jack Lawrence Schermerhorn and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calvin Schermerhorn’s provocative study views the development of modern American capitalism through the window of the nineteenth-century interstate slave trade. This eye-opening history follows money and ships as well as enslaved human beings to demonstrate how slavery was a national business supported by far-flung monetary and credit systems reaching across the Atlantic Ocean. The author details the anatomy of slave supply chains and the chains of credit and commodities that intersected with them in virtually every corner of the pre–Civil War United States, and explores how an institution that destroyed lives and families contributed greatly to the growth of the expanding republic’s capitalist economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hesperos or Travels in the West, Vol. 1 of 2 I have no doubt when, in the weak moments of our last parting, you exacted from me a promise that from the very moment I lost sight of your 'waterproof' on the Quay of Liverpool, I would commence a 'journal' for your edification, you fancied, you were making the most reasonable request in the world. I, however, was not blind to the exacting nature of the demand; nor have I now to take my first lesson in the difficult art of collecting one's thoughts and writing materials, while tossing and tumbling on the wide Atlantic, a thousand miles from land; and if I do succeed in writing a sea-letter in a collected form, no one will be more surprised than myself.

Download or read book Sounds American written by Ann Ostendorf and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sounds American provides new perspectives on the relationship between nationalism and cultural production by examining how Americans grappled with musical diversity in the early national and antebellum eras. During this period a resounding call to create a distinctively American music culture emerged as a way to bind together the varied, changing, and uncertain components of the new nation. This played out with particular intensity in the lower Mississippi River valley, and New Orleans especially. Ann Ostendorf argues that this region, often considered an exception to the nation—with its distance from the center of power, its non-British colonial past, and its varied population—actually shared characteristics of many other places eventually incorporated into the country, thus making it a useful case study for the creation of American culture. Ostendorf conjures the territory's phenomenally diverse “music ways” including grand operas and balls, performances by church choirs and militia bands, and itinerant violin instructors. Music was often associated with “foreigners,” in particular Germans, French, Irish, and Africans. For these outsiders, music helped preserve collective identity. But for critics concerned with developing a national culture, this multitude of influences presented a dilemma that led to an obsessive categorization of music with racial, ethnic, or national markers. Ultimately, the shared experience of categorizing difference and consuming this music became a unifying national phenomenon. Experiencing the unknown became a shared part of the American experience.
