(though the house was tendered to him at 12, by the Courtfl with a view of escaping a reply from me, I will, late as it is, endeavor to dis pose of his assaults upon my character, before you who have heard him. And who can't be here to-mnrrow shall depart And before I adduce the damning records of his guilt and turpitude, I must again call your 'at tention to the conduct of this individual.

Very well, reverend sir, I shall meet you upon each and every point on which you have assailed me, and nail you to the counter as a counter feit Christian, and a gross fabricator.

Download or read book Evil Necessity written by Harold D. Tallant and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Kentucky, the slavery debate raged for thirty years before the Civil War began. While whites in the lower South argued that slavery was good for master and slave, many white Kentuckians maintained that because of racial prejudice, public safety, and property rights, slavery was necessary but undeniably evil. Harold D. Tallant shows how this view bespoke a real ambivalence about the desirability of continuing slavery in Kentucky and permitted an active abolitionist movement in the state to exist alongside contented slaveholders. Though many Kentuckians were increasingly willing to defend slavery against northern opposition, they did not always see this defense as their first political priority. Tallant explores the way in which the disparity between Kentuckians' ideals and their actions helped make Kentucky a quintessential border state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While it is well known that more Africans fought on behalf of the British than with the successful patriots of the American Revolution, Gerald Horne reveals in his latest work of historical recovery that after 1776, Africans and African-Americans continued to collaborate with Great Britain against the United States in battles big and small until the Civil War. Many African Americans viewed Britain, an early advocate of abolitionism and emancipator of its own slaves, as a powerful ally in their resistance to slavery in the Americas. This allegiance was far-reaching, from the Caribbean to outposts in North America to Canada. In turn, the British welcomed and actively recruited both fugitive and free African Americans, arming them and employing them in military engagements throughout the Atlantic World, as the British sought to maintain a foothold in the Americas following the Revolution. In this path-breaking book, Horne rewrites the history of slave resistance by placing it for the first time in the context of military and diplomatic wrangling between Britain and the United States. Painstakingly researched and full of revelations, Negro Comrades of the Crown is among the first book-length studies to highlight the Atlantic origins of the Civil War, and the active role played by African Americans within these external factors that led to it. Listen to a one hour special with Dr. Gerald Horne on the "Sojourner Truth" radio show.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of R. Wickliffe, Jr. (Of Kentucky, ): Delivered in the National Convention of the Whig Young Men of the United States, Assembled at Baltimore, May 4th 5th, 1840 Mr. Wickliffe, having been selected by the Delegation from Kentucky, to address the Convention on behalf of that Commonwealth, spoke substantially as follows: Mr. President: - An epoch has arrisen in the history of the Whig party. For the first time within the last eight years, we present an undivided front. Hitherto, our strength has been wasted, and our numbers divided between rival candidates, from various quarters of the Union. In a party that was bound together by principle, and not by the strong tie of public plunder, it was natural to expect that men would entertain and indulge personal preferences, and be incapable of that rigid discipline and implicit obedience by which the adherents of power have ever been distinguished. The day of disunion and of defeat is past. Our party is now not only rallied around the same standard, but led on by the same commander. If the bravery of the troops be equal to the skill and gallantry of our veteran leader; if the warworn soldier, covered with laurels in many a hard-fought battle, and decked with bays from many a civic field, be an object worthy of the gratitude and admiration of a generous people; if the genius of American liberty and the spirit of republican institutions be most fully embodied in him who is equally prepared to wield the sword or the plough; if this republic be not yet sunk in corruption and lost to all sense of truth and justice - victory, sure and lasting, awaits us and the great principles which we have so long struggled to uphold. For the brilliant prospect that lies before us; for the new life and zeal that cheer us and our constituents, we are indebted to the deliberations of the Harrisburg Convention. Called into existence by the unanimous voice of the whig party, and composed of some of the most gifted and venerable men of whom the republic could boast, its decree went forth and was received with applauding shouts by Whig America.
