Andrew Jackson--Brief Sketch Of His Military Career--Reminiscence Of The -great Victory At New Orleans. The war of 1812 between the United States and England was declared by Congress in June of that year in consequence of the indignities inflicted on the United States by England, the latter having violated the treaty with this country, and also the laws of nations, in the impressment of American seamen. England being engaged in a war with France, impressed American seamen and forced them to fight a nation with which the United States maintained amicable and friendly relations. It was to protect the rights of American seamen, as well as to preserve our neutrality as between England and France, that Congress felt constrained to declare war against the former. About the time of the declaration of waja comet appeared in the West, presaging, in the opinion of many ignorant of the laws governing the solar system, war, famine, or pestilence. This was followed in a short time by what was called "the shakes." The sleepers were aroused from their slumbers one morning about three hours before daylight by the violent rocking of the earth. The crockery and delf-ware in the cupboard chattered as one afflicted with a ievere attack of ague. Families aroused from their slumbers by the quaking of the earth, ran out of their houses in dishabille. Men and women, boys and girls, huddled together in their fright, expecting the earth to open and swallow them. While some were utterly paralyzed with fear, others were praying in the most fervent manner in the hope to avert the impending disaster. Meantime the earth quivered like a fallen beef that had been shot through the brain. These scenes continued for about twentyfive minutes, when the earth resumed...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A one-of-a-kind reference book, Tennessee Tragedies examines a wide variety of disasters that have occurred in the Volunteer State over the past several centuries. Intended for both general readers and emergency management professionals, it covers natural disasters such as floods, tornadoes, and earthquakes; technological events such as explosions, transportation wrecks, and structure fires; and societal incidents including labor strikes, political violence, lynchings, and other hate crimes. At the center of the book are descriptive accounts of 150 of the state’s most severe events. These range from smallpox epidemics in the eighteenth century to the epic floods of 1936–37, from the Sultana riverboat disaster of 1865 (the worst inland marine accident in U.S. history) to the 1968 assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Included as well are stories of plane crashes, train wrecks, droughts, economic panics, and race riots. An extensive chronology provides further details on more than 900 incidents, the most complete listing ever compiled for a single state. The book’s introduction examines topics that include our fascination with such tragedies; major causes of death, injury, and destruction; and the daunting problems of producing accurate accountings of a disaster’s effects, whether in numbers of dead and injured or of economic impact. Among the other features are a comprehensive glossary that defines various technical terms and concepts and tables illustrating earthquake, drought, disease, and tornado intensity scales. A work of great historical interest that brings together for the first time an impressive array of information,Tennessee Tragedies will prove exceptionally useful for those who must respond to inevitable future disasters.

Download or read book The South and the Politics of Slavery 1828 1856 written by William J. Cooper, Jr. and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1980-06-01 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The politics of slavery consumed the political world of the antebellum South. Although local economic, ethnic, and religious issues tended to dominate northern antebellum politics, The South and the Politics of Slavery convincingly argues that national and slavery-related issues were the overriding concerns of southern politics during these years. Accordingly, southern voters saw their parties, both Democratic and Whig, as the advocates and guardians of southern rights in the nation. William Cooper traces and analyzes the history of southern politics from the formation of the Democratic party in the late 1820s to the demise of the Democratic-Whig struggle in the 1850s, reporting on attitudes and reactions in each of the eleven states that were to form the Confederacy. Focusing on southern politicians and parties, Cooper emphasizes their relationship with each other, with their northern counterparts, and with southern voters, and he explores the connections between the values of southern white society and its parties and politicians. Based on extensive research in regional political manuscripts and newspapers, this study will be valuable to all historians of the period for the information and insight it provides on the role of the South in politics of the nation during the lifespan of the Jacksonian party system.
