Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A revealing study of the worldview of nineteenth-century American peace activists, this book chronicles the political and intellectual development of the two major antebellum peace movements. The American Peace Society, a moderate group, understood peace work in the context of a positive view of the role of the state and social institutions in restraining war. It aimed to work through the institutions of church and state to achieve peace. The Garrisonian nonresistants of the New England Non-Resistant Society constituted a radical group which advocated the individual's complete separation from all institutions and a strict adherence to the example of Christ's life and teachings." "As Valarie H. Ziegler shows, the task of establishing peace in a culture where institutionalized forms of violence such as slavery were legally protected proved endlessly frustrating for both groups. As they faced the questions raised by such diverse events as the lynching of abolitionists, the women's rights movement, the Mexican War, the Fugitive Slave Law, and John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, the advocates of peace faced the challenge of reformulating their ethical models, in hope of finding some way to reconcile peace, liberty, and social order." "Despite their differences in temperament, both groups were initially convinced that the New Testament's admonition to love one's enemies and refuse to return evil for evil was an absolute command. They believed they were called to practice peace without regard for the consequences. As civil unrest raged over slavery, however, the advocates discovered that they did care about consequences. They wanted to abolish slavery and create a just social order." "With the coming of the Civil War, the peace activists faced their most difficult task: choosing between a violent struggle to free the slaves and dutiful obedience to the Sermon on the Mount."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book International Law and the Use of Force written by Shirley V. Scott and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-11-25 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a discussion of key documents that explain the development, current status, and relevance of the international law governing the initiation of military hostilities. International Law and the Use of Force: A Documentary and Reference Guide brings to life a crucial body of law, explaining its historical origins, the core rules and principles of the regime embodied in the Charter of the United Nations, and contentious aspects of that law in the contemporary world. In light of the intensified interest in the question of justified or unjustified use of force, this timely resource introduces and analyzes over 40 documents relating to the legality of the initiation of military hostilities. The volume presents competing assessments of the legality of key uses of force and explains mainstream positions on important issues such as national right to self-defense, anticipatory and preemptive self-defense, terrorism, aggression, and the role of the UN Security Council. The book concludes by assessing whether the international law that seeks to limit the number of wars has in fact made the world a more peaceful place.
Download or read book Antislavery Materials at Bowdoin College written by Angela M. Leonard and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bibliography was assembled by a history and Afro-American studies class at Bowdoin College (Maine). The document emphasizes primary sources on antislavery from the manuscript collection of the college. The guide lists 38 graduates of the college including well known figures such as Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, as well as John Brown Russwurm, the first black person to graduate from the college. The listings include letters by such prominent blacks as Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, and Booker T. Washington. The work is divided into informative sections covering: (1) Bowdoin resource facilities, (2) Bowdoin alumni, (3) Bowdoin student organizations, (4) Bowdoin overseers, trustees, and presidents, (5) Bowdoin faculty and administrators, (6) Maine antislavers, and (7) major figures in antislavery. Three appendixes list individual collections. The first includes a list of general holdings dealing with Bowdoin and Maine Antislavers. This section lists reformers who cannot be linked to antislavery by primary documents available in the college's special collections. Secondary references denote their antislavery ties, but it is not clear whether materials that are still in circulation would make the connection. Biographical sketches of the authors of letters and other materials are offered, along with reproductions of portraits and photographs when available. The second appendix lists first editions of rare antislavery literature including journals, church and society reports and monographs. Journals in the collection range from about 1825 through 1866. The final appendix consists of correspondence between William Pitt Fessenden and Samuel Fessenden relating to the slave issue. (DK)
