Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of rebellions in the small, impoverished Black Forest lordship of Hauenstein between 1725 and 1745 provide David Martin Luebke with evidence for a new and more nuanced view of peasant action and discourse on power and community. In the rebellions called the Salpeter Wars, the peasants of Hauenstein sought to curtail the expansion of centralizing bureaucratic powers that were eroding traditional local autonomies. They could not agree how best to resist and two factions emerged, the quarrels between them escalating finally into civil war. After twenty years of bloody feuding, several lawsuits, three Austrian military invasions, and half a dozen rebel attempts to engineer the personal involvement of the Emperor, the Salpeter Wars ended with the destruction of precisely those autonomies that Hauenstein's peasant elites had set out to defend. Luebke challenges the dominant paradigm on peasant rebellion which holds that social integration and political solidarity characterize the peasant village and structure its rebel activity. He argues for a concept of the peasant community flexible enough to accommodate the divisions characteristic of early modern peasant society. State building, combined with a long-term trend toward social stratification among peasants, rearranged patterns of mutual dependency between rulers and subjects in ways that often created factional rifts among the subjects. In His Majesty's Rebels Luebke elucidates the dynamics of peasant rebellions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Her Majesty's Rebels The story of the way in which it had been acquired was perhaps not known, perhaps ignored in the English family, but it had been cherished in hatred and handed down from father to son in the Irish home. All that need be told of it now is the bare fact that, some two hundred years ago, one Henry Desmond took advantage of a penal law which enabled a younger son, on becoming a Pro testant, to disinherit the elder who remained a Catholic. He committed this act of treachery, obtained possession of the property, built on the banks of the stream near the village the house known as the Court, and, being well hated in the country, afterwards placed his estate in the hands of middlemen and took up his residence in England.

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III BREAKFAST AND DINNER AT BALLYVODRA In the household of Ballyvodra there was no government, no order, no rules that were not habitually broken. The master would allow things to take their course until some abuse became unbearable, and then express his feelings in a burst of anger. Carmody the butler and Mrs. Irwin the cook, both old servants and loyal to the family, were continually quarrelling together; Mr. O'Toole, the tutor, was secretly in awe of the boys, and Miss Green, Kathleen's governess, shed many a tear over her pupil's wilfulness. Mr. O'Brien's maiden sisters, Miss Bridget and Miss Honora, superintended the housekeeping on alternate weeks, and each lacked the authority of a permanent mistress. Both within and without the place was amazingly untidy and neglected, partly from bad management and partly from want of money. In some of the fine old rooms the paper hung in strips from the walls, the carpets were in holes, hardly a window was in working order, and many of them were kept open by the insertion of a boot-jack or a log of firewood. Outside it was much the same: the once orderly garden was a wilderness of overgrowth and weeds, the front avenue was used byfarm-carts, and the entrance gates were off their hinges. The master of the place had undergone a similar change. Once, as all the neighbourhood knew, when the old mistress was alive, Ballyvodra had been among the most hospitable houses of the county, and Mr. O'Brien the gayest of hosts. After his wife's death things had begun to drift, and as money troubles accumulated, and some of the less generous influences of religion took hold of him, he allowed indifference to appearances to degenerate into neglect. Like most Irish squires he had received but an indifferent education, and at school h...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the half century after 1650 that saw the gradual imposition of a slave society in England's North American colonies, poor white settlers in the Chesapeake sought a republic of equals. Demanding a say in their own destinies, rebels moved around the region looking for a place to build a democratic political system. This book crosses colonial boundaries to show how Ingle's Rebellion, Fendall's Rebellion, Bacon's Rebellion, Culpeper's Rebellion, Parson Waugh's Tumult, and the colonial Glorious Revolution were episodes in a single struggle because they were organized by one connected group of people. Adding land records and genealogical research to traditional sources, Noeleen McIlvenna challenges standard narratives that disdain poor whites or leave them out of the history of the colonial South. She makes the case that the women of these families played significant roles in every attempt to establish a more representative political system before 1700. McIlvenna integrates landless immigrants and small farmers into the history of the Chesapeake region and argues that these rebellious anti-authoritarians should be included in the pantheon of the nation's Founders.

Book excerpt: Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, the epic New York Times bestselling account of how Civil War general Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson became a great and tragic national hero. Stonewall Jackson has long been a figure of legend and romance. As much as any person in the Confederate pantheon—even Robert E. Lee—he embodies the romantic Southern notion of the virtuous lost cause. Jackson is also considered, without argument, one of our country’s greatest military figures. In April 1862, however, he was merely another Confederate general in an army fighting what seemed to be a losing cause. But by June he had engineered perhaps the greatest military campaign in American history and was one of the most famous men in the Western world. Jackson’s strategic innovations shattered the conventional wisdom of how war was waged; he was so far ahead of his time that his techniques would be studied generations into the future. In his “magnificent Rebel Yell…S.C. Gwynne brings Jackson ferociously to life” (New York Newsday) in a swiftly vivid narrative that is rich with battle lore, biographical detail, and intense conflict among historical figures. Gwynne delves deep into Jackson’s private life and traces Jackson’s brilliant twenty-four-month career in the Civil War, the period that encompasses his rise from obscurity to fame and legend; his stunning effect on the course of the war itself; and his tragic death, which caused both North and South to grieve the loss of a remarkable American hero.

Download or read book Napoleon and the Rebel written by Marcello Simonetta and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2011-06-07 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucien was the most talented of the Bonaparte brothers, who not only can be credited for helping Napoleon seize power, but who also had a promising political career of his own. He was a romantic, an idealist, and an anti-monarchist whose love for Alexandrine, the woman he married in spite of Napoleon's objections, caused him to fall out of favor with his powerful brother. In Napoleon and the Rebel: A Story of Brotherhood, Passion, and Power, authors Simonetta and Arikha draw from a massive trove of first-hand documents, allowing them to present a rare, detailed portrait of this remarkable dynasty that reveals Emperor Napoleon and his family at their most intimate and vulnerable moments. The turbulent relationship between Napoleon and his favorite brother, Lucien, of whom the emperor said, "of all my siblings, he was the most gifted, and the one who hurt me most," creates the perfect springboard to illustrate the bloody power struggles, romantic idealism, and corruption that characterized nineteenth-century Europe, as well as the rise and fall of the French empire.

Download or read book Toussaint s Clause written by Gordon S. Brown and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2005 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its formative years, America, birthplace of a revolution, wrestled with a volatile dilemma. John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, and many other founding fathers clashed. What was to be the new republic's strategy toward a revolution roiling just off its shores? From 1790 to 1810, the disagreement reverberated far beyond Caribbean waters and American coastal ports. War between France and Britain, the great powers of the time, raged on the seas and in Europe. America watched aghast as its trading partner Haiti, a rich hothouse of sugar plantations and French colonial profit, exploded in a rebellion led by former slave Toussaint L'Ouverture. Toussaint's Clause: The Founding Fathers and the Haitian Revolution narrates the intricate history of one of America's early foreign policy balancing acts and one of the nation's defining moments. The supporters of Toussaint's rebellion against France at first engineered a bold policy of intervention in favor of the rebels. But Southern slaveholders, such as Jefferson, eyed the slave-general's rise and masterful leadership skills with extreme alarm and eventually obtained a reversal of the policy-even while taking advantage of the rebellion to make the fateful Louisiana purchase. Far from petty, the internal squabbles among America's founders resolved themselves in delicate maneuvers in foreign capitals and on the island. The stakes were mortally high-a misstep could have plunged the new, weak, and neutral republic into the great powers' global war. In Toussaint's Clause, former diplomat and ambassador Gordon S. Brown details the founding fathers' crisis over Haiti and their rancorous struggle, which very often cut to the core of what America meant by revolution and liberty. During a thirty-five-year Foreign Service career, Gordon S. Brown served mainly in the Middle East and North Africa including assignments as General Norman Schwarzkopf's political advisor in the first Gulf War and ambassador to Mauritania. Since his retirement, he has written Coalition, Coercion, and Compromise on the diplomacy of the first Gulf War and The Norman Conquest of Southern Italy and Sicily.
