Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume resumes the story of Governor William Berkeley upon his return from England in 1659, then moves the reader quickly to that quintessential political embroglio of 17th-century America--Bacon's Rebellion of 1676. Convinced about the Governor's lack of concern for their safety and economic well being, a group of rebellious frontier planters cast their lot with Berkeley's cousin and former ally on the Governor's Council, Nathaniel Bacon. Bacon soon found himself at the head of a force of 2,000 men that routed the Pamunkeys and ultimately took possession of all of Virginia west of the Chesapeake Bay. Although Berkeley would emerge victorious, executing a number of Bacon's lieutenants, he was himself recalled to England five months later, scarcely three months before his own demise. An extraordinary episode in colonial history, Bacon's Rebellion may have been an earlier century's harbinger of the limits to which America's colonists would permit themselves to be ruled by a tyrant.

Download or read book Secret Societies and Clubs in American History written by David Luhrssen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-09-09 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grounded in extensive historical research, this eye-opening survey reveals the long-undervalued role secret societies have played in American history. Americans are fascinated by secret societies and have devoured exaggerated claims for their influence. At the same time, scholarly assessments of covert groups that have shaped American social, cultural, and political history have often undervalued their role or even questioned their existence. This survey challenges both the exaggerators and the deniers. Freemasons? They may not be the hidden rulers of the world, but a significant number of America's founders were Masons. The Know Nothings? Two American presidents joined the movement. The Bohemian Grove? Republican politicians and corporate leaders really did engage in strange behavior under the redwood trees through the 20th century. Revealing fascinating facts about some of the most talked-about covert societies, including the Mafia, the Skull and Bones and the Ku Klux Klan, Secret Societies and Clubs in American History exposes the truth about the subcultures that made their mark on some of the most important events in the nation's history and contributed to the shaping of the country itself.

Download or read book Abe Lincoln s Secret War Against The North written by John Chodes and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abraham Lincoln, an American icon, was feared and hated during his presidency as a brutal dictator. His severe attacks on New York, Maryland, Indiana and Missouri show that he was turning the United States into a permanently militarized nation. Lincoln was reviled not only by Southerners and by his political rivals (the Democrats), but also to a surprising degree by the rank and file of his own Republican Party. He won the war, and so he is remembered as “Honest Abe” and the “Great Emancipator.” But through this investigation of three Northern states that opposed Abraham Lincoln’s policies, and even one state that had fervently supported him, the true picture becomes more clear. Why is this story important for today? Because many of the negatives in 21st-century American society—the centralization of power in Washington, political indifference to the popular will, the continual expansion of the “military–industrial complex,” can all be traced to their starting point: Abraham Lincoln’s presidency. The Radical wing of Lincoln’s Republican Party was a precursor of the 20th- and 21st-century totalitarian regimes. These Radicals believed in, and fulfilled, their goal of one-party rule. This goal was not shaped by four years of brutalizing war but was inherent in their ideology from the beginning.
