Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Struggle for Freedom in Kansas The expediency of our electing ofiicers under the Lecompton constitution was obvious to a large majority of the Free State men of Kansas, and was well sup ported by The Herald of Freedom, The Leavenworth Times, and other influential newspapers'of our party. That policy was also urged on us by many influential friends of free State in and out of Con gress - by my father, the'hon. Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, who wrote my elder brother, Hugh Ewing, then in partner ship with me in the practice of law at Leavenworth, most strongly insisting that the Free State men in Kansas, who were known to have a large majority in the Territory, should elect the State Officers and members of the legislature under the Lecompton constitution, and thus take possession of the government and control it, so as to make Kansas a free State - just as in the then recent October election the Free State men chose the legislature and took possession of the territorial govern ment. The Hon. Salmon P. Chase, then governor of Ohio, wrote an urgent letter to Governor Robinson, advising the vot ing policy, which, as well as the letter from my father, was read to the convem tion with great effect. The Hon. Samuel F. Vinton, an eminent member of the House of Representatives from Ohio, wrote a similar letter to me, which I read to the convention, in which he said that if the Free State men should stubbornly and fanatically refuse to adopt this pol icy, he for one would abandon the strug gle in Congress in our behalf.

Download or read book Archy Lee s Struggle for Freedom written by Brian McGinty and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-12-17 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In San Francisco, CA, in 1858, a young African American man was freed from the claims of a white man who sought to return him to slavery in Mississippi. This was one year after the Supreme Court’s notorious Dred Scott decision and during the California Gold Rush, which saw the population of the state rise from 7,000 to more than 60,000 in a few short years. Archy Lee was the name of the man who, with the aid of anti-slavery lawyers and determined opponents of human bondage, had just won his freedom from the claims of Charles Stovall. With the aid of pro-slavery lawyers and equally determined supporters, Stovall had sought to capture him and carry him back to a far-away slave plantation. Yet the book is not solely about Archy Lee. It is also about the travel routes that the gold-seekers followed to California in the 1850s, some by land over the Great Plains, some by sea around Cape Horn, yet others by sailing from the east coast of North America to the isthmus of Panama, where they crossed over the land there by train and continued on by sea to San Francisco. It is about the efforts of the racially motivated lawmakers to suppress the rights of all of California’s residents except whites, and to subject people of African, Asian, Hispanic, and Native American descent to second-, third-, or even fourth-class citizenship. It is about the residents of the state—including many whites—who fought back against those efforts, seeking to ameliorate or repeal the discriminatory laws and introduce a measure of fairness and justice into California’s civil life. It is about the lawyers and judges who participated in Archy Lee’s legal struggles in 1858, some supporting his claims for freedom while others ferociously opposed them and, in the process, elevated their own political and professional profiles.

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kansas Struggle, of 1856, in Congress, and in the Presidential Campaign: With Suggestions for the Future IN order to a full and distinct understanding of the struggle of 1856, in Congress, and during the Presidential campaign, concerning Freedom or Slavery in Kansas it will be necessary to bear in mind the previous controversy concerning the extension or non-extension of Slavery, the passage of the kansas-nebraska bill, and the at tempted settlement of Kansas by the antagonistic elements of Free State -men from the North, and Slavery extensionists from the South. Presuming the reader to be already in possession of the leading facts, up to the early part of the year 1856, we proceed to a Review of that struggle. Our object will be to exhibit clearly the position of the two contending parties, the Democratic and the Republican with the causes which occasioned the defeat of the latter, and the triumph of the friends of Slavery extension.

Download or read book Stark Mad Abolitionists written by Robert K. Sutton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A town at the center of the United States becomes the site of an ongoing struggle for freedom and equality. In May, 1854, Massachusetts was in an uproar. A judge, bound by the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850, had just ordered a young African American man who had escaped from slavery in Virginia and settled in Boston to be returned to bondage in the South. An estimated fifty thousand citizens rioted in protest. Observing the scene was Amos Adams Lawrence, a wealthy Bostonian, who “waked up a stark mad Abolitionist.” As quickly as Lawrence waked up, he combined his fortune and his energy with others to create the New England Emigrant Aid Company to encourage abolitionists to emigrate to Kansas to ensure that it would be a free state. The town that came to bear Lawrence’s name became the battleground for the soul of America, with abolitionists battling pro-slavery Missourians who were determined to make Kansas a slave state. The onset of the Civil War only escalated the violence, leading to the infamous raid of William Clarke Quantrill when he led a band of vicious Confederates (including Frank James, whose brother Jesse would soon join them) into town and killed two hundred men and boys. Stark Mad Abolitionists shows how John Brown, Reverend Henry Ward Beecher, Sam Houston, and Abraham Lincoln all figure into the story of Lawrence and “Bleeding Kansas.” The story of Amos Lawrence’s eponymous town is part of a bigger story of people who were willing to risk their lives and their fortunes in the ongoing struggle for freedom and equality.

Download or read book The Illustrated Battle Cry of Freedom The Civil War Era written by James M. McPherson George Henry Davis '86 Professor of History Princeton University and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2003-11-06 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for History and a New York Times Bestseller, Battle Cry of Freedom is universally recognized as the definitive account of the Civil War. It was hailed in The New York Times as "historical writing of the highest order." The Washington Post called it "the finest single volume on the war and its background." And The Los Angeles Times wrote that "of the 50,000 books written on the Civil War, it is the finest compression of that national paroxysm ever fitted between two covers." Now available in a splendid new edition is The Illustrated Battle Cry of Freedom. Boasting some seven hundred pictures, including a hundred and fifty color images and twenty-four full-color maps, here is the ultimate gift book for everyone interested in American history. McPherson has selected all the illustrations, including rare contemporary photographs, period cartoons, etchings, woodcuts, and paintings, carefully choosing those that best illuminate the narrative. More important, he has written extensive captions (some 35,000 words in all, virtually a book in themselves), many of which offer genuinely new information and interpretations that significantly enhance the text. The text itself, streamlined by McPherson, remains a fast-paced narrative that brilliantly captures two decades of contentious American history, from the Mexican War to Lee's surrender at Appomattox. The reader will find a truly masterful chronicle of the war itself--the battles, the strategic maneuvering on both sides, the politics, and the personalities--as well as McPherson's thoughtful commentary on such matters as the slavery expansion issue in the 1850s, the origins of the Republican Party, the causes of secession, internal dissent and anti-war opposition in the North and the South, and the reasons for the Union's victory. A must-have purchase for the legions of Civil War buffs, The Illustrated Battle Cry of Freedom is both a spectacularly beautiful volume and the definitive account of the most important conflict in our nation's history.
