Download or read book John William McCormack written by Garrison Nelson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 929 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first biography of U.S. House Speaker John W. McCormack, author Garrison Nelson uncovers previously forgotten FBI files, birth and death records, and correspondence long thought lost or buried. For such an influential figure, McCormack tried to dismiss the past, almost erasing his legacy from the public's mind. John William McCormack: A Political Biography sheds light on the behind-the-curtain machinations of American politics and the origins of the modern-day Democratic party, facilitated through McCormack's triumphs. McCormack overcame desperate poverty and family tragedy in the Irish ghetto of South Boston to hold the second-most powerful position in the nation. By reinventing his family history to elude Irish Boston's powerful political gatekeepers, McCormack embarked on a 1928 - 1971 House career and from 1939-71, the longest house leadership career. Working with every president from Coolidge to Nixon, McCormack's social welfare agenda, which included Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, immigration reform, and civil rights legislation helped commit the nation to the welfare of its most vulnerable citizens. By helping create the Austin-Boston Connection, McCormack reshaped the Democratic Party from a regional southern white Protestant party to one that embraced urban religiously and racially diverse ethnics. A man free of prejudice, John McCormack was the Boston Brahmin's favorite Irishman, the South's favorite northerner, and known in Boston as "Rabbi John," the Jews' favorite Catholic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: VIRUS OF FEAR by Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist W. Horace Carter; a thrilling three-year autobiography of the young newspaper editor who vividly depicts the infamous resurrection & demise of the Carolinas Ku Klux Klan. The relentless crusade by his weekly paper led to conviction of 300 Klansmen. Many were imprisoned, a first in the U.S. CBS's Charles Kuralt says: "What it takes to defeat a murdering mob, sometimes, is one brave & decent man. I learned that in my youth from Horace Carter; he was the man. This is a fine memoir of a fighting editor." Fighting for the newspaper's survival & his life, the young editor crushed the violent, night-riding, lawless vigilantes. Scores of men & women were brutally whipped, branded & even had ears cut off. These floggings in the wee hours brought fear & even death. Defying death threats, newspaper boycotts & the advice of friends, Carter lambasted the Klan weekly with fiery front page editorials that eventually led to the KKK crumbling & the imprisonment of the Grand Dragon. Carter became the first weekly newspaper editor to win the Pulitzer for Meritorious Public Service. He was named "One of the Ten Most Outstanding Young Men in America" by the U.S. Jaycees.

Download or read book Hoosiers and the American Story written by Madison, James H. and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
