This book was released on 2009-07 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rose O'Neale Greenhow (1817-1864) was a renowned Confederate spy. As a leader in Washington, D.C. society during the period prior to the American Civil War, she travelled in important political circles and cultivated friendships with presidents, generals, senators, and high-ranking military officers, using her connections to pass along key military information to the Confederacy at the start of the war. On August 23, 1861, she was apprehended and placed under house arrest. On January 18, 1862, Greenhow was transferred to Old Capitol Prison. Her eight-year-old daughter "Little" Rose, was permitted to remain with her. On May 31, 1862, Greenhow and her daughter were released from prison. In September 1864, Greenhow travelled on the Condor, a British blockade runner which ran aground at the mouth of the Cape Fear River near Wilmington, North Carolina. Fearing capture and reimprisonment, Greenhow fled the grounded Condor by rowboat. The rowboat was capsized by a wave, and Greenhow, weighed down with $2,000 worth of gold from her memoir royalties intended for the Confederate treasury, drowned.

This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rose O'Neal was a beautiful, well-educated, and charming Washington, D. C. socialite at the beginning of the War Between the States with connections to significant U.S. government officials. Born into the Maryland aristocracy, and the widow of a Virginian, her loyalty was covertly with the Confederacy. Rose used her wiles and connections to learn weighty secrets of Union military operations and passed this intelligence on to the Confederates. Eventually, she was imprisoned. In her own words, this is the story of her imprisonment at the Old Capitol Prison in D. C. The reader will be amused by her candid comments on those who made up the Washington elite in those stirring days. There have been several reprints of this 1863 book, but this one, while remaining true to the original text, has annotations and background information that will aid the modern reader in a clearer understanding of some of the subjects to which she is referring. Her frequent use of French and Latin terminology has also been footnoted with definitions. This 2019 reprint edition has a bonus supplement telling of Rose's tragic demise and what happened to her children. The book has additional illustrations not appearing in the original.

Download or read book The American Civil War in the Shaping of British Democracy written by Professor Brent E Kinser and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the American Civil War broke out in 1861, a central question for British intellectuals was whether or not the American conflict was proof of the viability of democracy as a foundation for modern governance. The lessons of the American Civil War for Britain would remain a focal point in the debate on democracy throughout the war up to the suffrage reform of 1867, and after. Brent E. Kinser considers four figures connected by Woodrow Wilson's concept of the "Literary Politician," a person who, while possessing a profound knowledge of politics combined with an equally acute literary ability to express that knowledge, escapes the practical drudgeries of policy making. Kinser argues that the animosity of Thomas Carlyle towards democracy, the rhetorical strategy of Anthony Trollope's North America, the centrality of the American war in Walter Bagehot's vision of British governance, and the political philosophy of John Stuart Mill illustrate the American conflict's vital presence in the debates leading up to the 1867 reform, a legislative event that helped to secure democracy's place in the British political system.
