Book excerpt: Finalist, 2016 Ralph Waldo Emerson Award One of Bustle's Books For Your Civil Disobedience Reading List Examines the key role dissent has played in shaping the United States, emphasizing the way Americans responded to injustices Dissent: The History of an American Idea examines the key role dissent has played in shaping the United States. It focuses on those who, from colonial days to the present, dissented against the ruling paradigm of their time: from the Puritan Anne Hutchinson and Native American chief Powhatan in the seventeenth century, to the Occupy and Tea Party movements in the twenty-first century. The emphasis is on the way Americans, celebrated figures and anonymous ordinary citizens, responded to what they saw as the injustices that prevented them from fully experiencing their vision of America. At its founding the United States committed itself to lofty ideals. When the promise of those ideals was not fully realized by all Americans, many protested and demanded that the United States live up to its promise. Women fought for equal rights; abolitionists sought to destroy slavery; workers organized unions; Indians resisted white encroachment on their land; radicals angrily demanded an end to the dominance of the moneyed interests; civil rights protestors marched to end segregation; antiwar activists took to the streets to protest the nation’s wars; and reactionaries, conservatives, and traditionalists in each decade struggled to turn back the clock to a simpler, more secure time. Some dissenters are celebrated heroes of American history, while others are ordinary people: frequently overlooked, but whose stories show that change is often accomplished through grassroots activism. The United States is a nation founded on the promise and power of dissent. In this stunningly comprehensive volume, Ralph Young shows us its history.

XIII RIGHT GIVING Howard Briggs, who sold newspapers at the corner of Market and Main streets in Millville every day after school, had met with an accident. One of the boys was excitedly telling his teacher, Miss Mayberry, about it the next morning. He was run down by an automobile and his right leg broken, and to the boys of the school this seemed almost the greatest misfortune that could come to a vigorous thirteen-year-old boy. "Now, if it had been his arm," suggested one sympathizer, "he could have that done up in a sling and come to school just the same." "Yes," said another, "and perhaps he could even have sold papers with his good hand." "My, won't he be disappointed not to get promoted next spring!" exclaimed one of the girls. Miss Mayberry, who had been listening but had said little, now spoke. "I must attend a teachers' meeting this afternoon, so I can't call on Howard, but I suggest that you appoint a committee of three to give him our sympathy and find out if there is anything we can do to help him." The pupils agreed to this eagerly, and the next morning directly after the opening exercises Miss Mayberry asked for a report from the visitors. Edwin Foster was made the spokesman. "Why, Miss Mayberry," Edwin began eagerly, "Howard is the pluckiest boy you ever saw. He looked pretty white and smelled like an apothecary shop, but he said he wanted his schoolbooks sent home so that he could keep up in all his studies. I told him we'd help by letting him know just how fast we were going." "Yes," said Miss Mayberry, "and if the doctor -assures us that he is able to do this work, perhaps we can make some arrangement for him to send the regular written work to me to correct. But I have another suggestion to make if you have finished, ...
