Download or read book Freebooters and Smugglers written by Ernest Obadele-Starks and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1891 a young W. E. B. DuBois addressed the annual American Historical Association on the enforcement of slave trade laws: “Northern greed joined to Southern credulity was a combination calculated to circumvent any law, human or divine.” One law in particular he was referring to was the Abolition Act of 1808. It was specifically passed to end the foreign slave trade. However, as Ernest Obadele-Starks shows, thanks to profiteering smugglers like the Lafitte brothers and the Bowie brothers, the slave trade persisted throughout the south for a number of years after the law was passed. Freebooters and Smugglers examines the tactics and strategies that the adherents of the foreign slave trade used to challenge the law. It reassesses the role that Americans played in the continuation of foreign slave transshipments into the country right up to the Civil War, shedding light on an important topic that has been largely overlooked in the historiography of the slave trade.

In her seventeenth year, that all comes to an end. The Spanish sack Mysteré, slaughtering Marie’s family and burning their crops. She and the other survivors are cast out in a rickety boat to take their chances on the high seas. For her companions, it is the end, but for Marie, the adventure is just beginning. Rescued by an English lord, she is taken to London, where she tries to make sense of a country whose customs are entirely foreign to her. Here she meets Jason Paxton, a daring rake who will lead her back to the ocean, to take her place upon the waves.
Download or read book The Freebooters written by Barry Windsor-Smith and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2005-09-05 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Freebooters is a lively, character-driven graphic narrative set in a fantastic, ancient milieu that superficially bears resemblance to a world that will be familiar to longtime Windsor-Smith fans who remember his work on another famous warrior. This volume collects the entirety of Windsor-Smith's "The Freebooter" stories from the acclaimed BWS: Storyteller comic book series from the early 1990s, including a full-length chapter from the unpublished tenth issue, plus more than 50 pages of new story. The Freebooters is amongst the most raucous and literate comics of Windsor-Smith's career, the culmination of a lifetime of experience and knowledge, approaching his comics with a seriousness of purpose while never losing his unmistakable sense of humor. A ripping good yarn!

Book excerpt: In 1855 an American named William Walker invaded Nicaragua with 58 reckless soldiers of fortune. Within a year he took over the government and had himself "declared" president of Nicaragua. Planning to create a vast slave empire in Central America with himself as dictator, Walker challenged the power of Great Britain, the wealth of Cornelius Vanderbilt, and the prestige of the president of the United States. He terrorized the five small Central American republics, as he ruthlessly plunged them into a ghastly bloodbath. Walker rose to the height of fame in the years just prior to the Civil War, his name was on every tongue. Frenzied admirers in New Orleans carried him triumphantly on their shoulders as a conquering hero. But he also inspired the fear, hatred, and vengeance of many who opposed him, and at the age of 36 he was executed by a firing squad of barefoot soldiers in Honduras in September 1860.
