Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the United States of North America, Vol. 2 of 4: From the Plantation of the British Colonies Till Their Assumption of National Independence His colonial policy is thus contrasted by an old writer, with that of Chief. Justice Popham, the promoter of the first attempts to colonize New England Judge Popham and Sir George Calvert agreed not more unanimously in the public design of planting, than they differed in the private way of it: the first was for extirpating heathens, the second for converting them. He sent away the lewdest, this the soberest people the one was for present profit, the other for a reasonable expectation - the first set up a common stock, out of which the people should be provided, by proportions; the second left every one to provide for himself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the United States of North America, Vol. 2: From the Discovery of the Western World to the Present Day It will be discovered, as we proceed, that outwardly, the administrations of Washington and Adams conducted the development we speak of, in a di rection exactly Opposite to that which has been followed by the expansions effected under the auspices of most of their successors. Inwardly, however, and in reality, there has been a wonderful harmony between these seemingly opposite paths of national progress. We shall have little difficulty in showing, that one effort has been the equipoise to the other, one growth the comple ment of the other; so that more has been effected than either party alone, or than both together, have aimed at; and whilst the stability of the nation has been insured, the influences and courses which could most endanger that stability have been made glaringly manifest to all; and such a pledge and assurance has been given of the guidance and blessing of the King of Nations, as may well remind all who aspire to control the affairs of the Commonwealth, of the principles which actuated those who most largely shared in its found ation, and by the operation of which alone, it, or any State, can attain to real and abiding greatness in the world. Such views as these may relieve of all dulness a narrative of 'the kind that lies before us; not factitiously, and by the introduction of materials foreign to the subject but by the display of the secret meaning and tendency of the events that make up the quiet round of commercial prosperity, of those trifling matters which appear only when massed in tables of statistics, and of the most exciting affairs of times of peace - contests for office, legislative discussions.

Download or read book American Nations written by Colin Woodard and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • A New Republic Best Book of the Year • The Globalist Top Books of the Year • Winner of the Maine Literary Award for Non-fiction Particularly relevant in understanding who voted for who during presidential elections, this is an endlessly fascinating look at American regionalism and the eleven “nations” that continue to shape North America According to award-winning journalist and historian Colin Woodard, North America is made up of eleven distinct nations, each with its own unique historical roots. In American Nations he takes readers on a journey through the history of our fractured continent, offering a revolutionary and revelatory take on American identity, and how the conflicts between them have shaped our past and continue to mold our future. From the Deep South to the Far West, to Yankeedom to El Norte, Woodard (author of American Character: A History of the Epic Struggle Between Individual Liberty and the Common Good) reveals how each region continues to uphold its distinguishing ideals and identities today, with results that can be seen in the composition of the U.S. Congress or on the county-by-county election maps of any hotly contested election in our history.
Download or read book American History Volume 2 written by Thomas S. Kidd and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2019-04-01 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American History volume 2 gives a wide overview of America’s history from the end of the Civil War era, to the political and cultural struggles of contemporary times. Thomas S. Kidd employs lessons learned from his own scholarly expertise and history classes to weave together a compelling narrative of the defeats and triumphs that have defined the American national experience. Unlike many textbooks of modern American history, religion and faith remain central aspects of the book’s coverage, through present-day America. It gives detailed treatment of episodes such as America’s military conflicts, the Civil Rights movement, and the culture wars of the past half-century. Professor Kidd also considers the development of America’s obsession with entertainment, from the rise of the first movies, to the social media age. American History volume 2 will help students wrestle with the political and cultural changes that have dramatically transformed contemporary American life

Download or read book An Indigenous Peoples History of the United States 10th Anniversary Edition written by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller Now part of the HBO docuseries "Exterminate All the Brutes," written and directed by Raoul Peck Recipient of the American Book Award The first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoples Today in the United States, there are more than five hundred federally recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the fifteen million Native people who once inhabited this land. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire. With growing support for movements such as the campaign to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous Peoples’ Day and the Dakota Access Pipeline protest led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States is an essential resource providing historical threads that are crucial for understanding the present. In An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them. And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military. Shockingly, as the genocidal policy reached its zenith under President Andrew Jackson, its ruthlessness was best articulated by US Army general Thomas S. Jesup, who, in 1836, wrote of the Seminoles: “The country can be rid of them only by exterminating them.” Spanning more than four hundred years, this classic bottom-up peoples’ history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative. An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is a 2015 PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature.
