Book excerpt: Excerpt from The "Truth" About Sunday Closing and Local Option: Being a Reply Made on the 10th April, 1883, in the Town Hall, Rugeley by the Rev. R. M. Grier, M.A., R. D., Vicar of Rugeley, and Prebendary of Lichfield; To Speeches Delivered on These Subjects by H. C. Edwards, Esq. We must, however, remember, in justice to licensed victuallers, that (as the Protest informs us, page 21) the inn or public house is not a mere drink shop. It ought not to be and there would be no desire to interfere with it, if it, were not so at all. (laughter and applause.) If the licensed victuallers will consent to let people meet on their premises without supplying them with alcohol, they will find very few voices raised against their trade. What right-minded per sons object to, is not social intercourse (we all desire to promote it).but habits which lead to social disturbance, and domestic brawls, which benefit no one' except it be the vendors of intoxicants.

Download or read book Blue Laws and Black Codes written by Peter Wallenstein and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2013-02-20 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women were once excluded everywhere from the legal profession, but by the 1990s the Virginia Supreme Court had three women among its seven justices. This is just one example of how law in Virginia has been transformed over the past century, as it has across the South and throughout the nation. In Blue Laws and Black Codes, Peter Wallenstein shows that laws were often changed not through legislative action or constitutional amendment but by citizens taking cases to state and federal courtrooms. Due largely to court rulings, for example, stores in Virginia are no longer required by "blue laws" to close on Sundays. Particularly notable was the abolition of segregation laws, modified versions of southern states’ "black codes" dating back to the era of slavery and the first years after emancipation. Virginia’s long road to racial equality under the law included the efforts of black civil rights lawyers to end racial discrimination in the public schools, the 1960 Richmond sit-ins, a case against segregated courtrooms, and a court challenge to a law that could imprison or exile an interracial couple for their marriage. While emphasizing a single state, Blue Laws and Black Codes is framed in regional and national contexts. Regarding blue laws, Virginia resembled most American states. Regarding racial policy, Virginia was distinctly southern. Wallenstein shows how people pushed for changes in the laws under which they live, love, work, vote, study, and shop—in Virginia, the South, and the nation.

Book excerpt: To understand the problems that face the world, one must understand human nature. From exploitation and violence to decisions about how to wisely govern or care for human life, the problems humanity faces aren't just abstract issues—they impact the day-to-day lives of many individuals and communities across the globe. How should Christians wrestle with these complex and difficult problems in a thoughtful, ethical way? According to Jeffrey A. Brauch, people need to start with an informed grasp of human nature. It's only by understanding human nature that a person can recognize their profound value as God's good creation despite their fallen condition, and uphold equal human rights regardless of differences. Flawed Perfection will help Christians from across the political and cultural spectrum think carefully about and actively respond to these issues with both gravity and grace

Download or read book The Campaign for Prohibition in Victorian England written by Anthony E. Dingle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-07 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evils of drink were a constant preoccupation in late Victorian England. The United Kingdom Alliance, founded in 1853, fought a long and vigorous but ultimately unsuccessful campaign for prohibition. In doing so it eventually developed into one of the most powerful reformist pressure groups operating in Victorian political life. First published in 1980, this book covers in extensive detail the legislative activity of the Alliance and analyses the administration and campaign strategies involved, from its formation to the disastrous electoral defeat of the liberal party in 1895. Stressing that the phenomenon of Prohibition cannot be adequately explained purely in political terms, this study shows that the preliminary success and eventual failure of the Alliance was closely related to its nonconformist ethics and attitudes. This book will be of interest to those studying Victorian history, politics and religion.
