Download or read book Great Crossings written by Christina Snyder and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-01 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Great Crossings: Indians, Settlers, and Slaves in the Age of Jackson, prize-winning historian Christina Snyder reinterprets the history of Jacksonian America. Most often, this drama focuses on whites who turned west to conquer a continent, extending "liberty" as they went. Great Crossings also includes Native Americans from across the continent seeking new ways to assert anciently-held rights and people of African descent who challenged the United States to live up to its ideals. These diverse groups met in an experimental community in central Kentucky called Great Crossings, home to the first federal Indian school and a famous interracial family. Great Crossings embodied monumental changes then transforming North America. The United States, within the span of a few decades, grew from an East Coast nation to a continental empire. The territorial growth of the United States forged a multicultural, multiracial society, but that diversity also sparked fierce debates over race, citizenship, and America's destiny. Great Crossings, a place of race-mixing and cultural exchange, emerged as a battleground. Its history provides an intimate view of the ambitions and struggles of Indians, settlers, and slaves who were trying to secure their place in a changing world. Through deep research and compelling prose, Snyder introduces us to a diverse range of historical actors: Richard Mentor Johnson, the politician who reportedly killed Tecumseh and then became schoolmaster to the sons of his former foes; Julia Chinn, Johnson's enslaved concubine, who fought for her children's freedom; and Peter Pitchlynn, a Choctaw intellectual who, even in the darkest days of Indian removal, argued for the future of Indian nations. Together, their stories demonstrate how this era transformed colonizers and the colonized alike, sowing the seeds of modern America.

Book excerpt: “Timely and important . . . It should be our North Star for the recovery and beyond.” —Hillary Clinton “Sperling makes a forceful case that only by speaking to matters of the spirit can liberals root their belief in economic justice in people’s deepest aspirations—in their sense of purpose and self-worth.” —The New York Times When Gene Sperling was in charge of coordinating economic policy in the Obama White House, he found himself surprised when serious people in Washington told him that the Obama focus on health care was a distraction because it was “not focused on the economy.” How, he asked, was the fear felt by millions of Americans of being one serious illness away from financial ruin not considered an economic issue? Too often, Sperling found that we measured economic success by metrics like GDP instead of whether the economy was succeeding in lifting up the sense of meaning, purpose, fulfillment, and security of people. In Economic Dignity, Sperling frames the way forward in a time of wrenching change and offers a vision of an economy whose guiding light is the promotion of dignity for all Americans.
Download or read book A Biographical Sketch of Col Richard M Johnson of Kentucky Classic Reprint written by Asahel Langworthy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Biographical Sketch of Col. Richard M. Johnson, of Kentucky Men are the creatures of instruction. Sentiments infused into the mind at an early period of life, are seldom entirely eradicated To promote the happiness, and to perpetuate the republican institutions of our country, it is necessary that correct principles be impressed upon the hearts of the rising generation. Like the farina which impregnates the opening blossom, they become the germ of that fruit which will be developed with growing years, and died their blessings around them in maturity of life. Knowledge, with moral and philosophical precepts, has its influence upon the human mind; but the examples of the great and good exert a controlling power on the sentiments and conduct of those who see and admire them. In presenting a living character, worthy of emulation, We think it would be difficult to point out a greater combination of excellences, than is exhibited in the life of Col. Richard Mentor Johnson. His father, Col. Robert Johnson, was a native of Virginia. Having braved the dangers of the field in early manhood for the defence of American Independence, he moved with his young family to Red Stone, now Brownstown, in Pennsylvania, in 1780, before the Revolutionary war had terminated. Here he resided till the summer of 1781, when he removed to Kentucky, then a county of his native State. In October of that year, Col. Richard M. Johnson, the subject of this sketch, was born.

Book excerpt: A gorgeous full-color graphic historical novel, sure to become an instant classic, that explores the friendship and feud between Ida B. Wells and Frederick Douglass, offering new insights into slavery and incarceration in the United States. Told from the perspectives of statesman and orator Frederick Douglass, and journalist and activist Ida B. Wells, Before 13th is a story that illuminates the contradictions of freedom. Friends and rivals, Douglass and Wells clashed over how to grapple with the racism and exoticism that defined portrayals of African Americans at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, where Douglass was invited to speak after they had initially agreed to boycott the event. It uses the story of this real-life conflict as a lens through which we see the history of slavery and incarceration as never before. Historical anthropologist Michael Ralph joins forces with acclaimed illustrator Laura Molnar to reimagine these two influential Black Americans and the controversies surrounding the Thirteenth Amendment—which some contend did not abolish slavery, claiming instead it was used to keep African Americans in a condition approximating bondage in the years immediately following Emancipation. Before 13th boldly takes on this issue, offering a provocative re-thinking that goes back years earlier than the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment, to a practice known as convict leasing, an experiment in capitalist innovation and progressive legal reform, whose profound effects continue to be felt today. Before 13th features100 four color illustrations.
