Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of Conquest, the Story of American Expansion, Through Arms and Diplomacy When the "Free Quakers" of Philadelphia inscribed on their new meeting-house "Erected in the year of our Lord, 1783, of the Empire 8," they were not "Jingos" or "imperialists," but believers in God and in the growth of the United States of America. Among these Friends, who had drawn sword for their country, were my ancestors and kinsmen. It is not wonderful that their descendant inherits also their view. To-day there are those who read the words "empire" and "expansion" in the same light. They see in the events of the pivotal year of 1898 the Divine hand, and they hear in the new developments fresh calls to duty. On history is based surest prophecy. Those who are most familiar with the story of our country will be best fitted to comprehend intelligently the part they are called upon to play in the future. With emphasis upon the original meaning of the word "conquest," I have in this volume told the story of our national expansion and of the triumphs of American arms and diplomacy from July 4, 1776, when we began to be a corporate nation or empire, until this first year of Greater America.

Download or read book Beautiful Democracy written by Russ Castronovo and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-05-15 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The photographer and reformer Jacob Riis once wrote, “I have seen an armful of daisies keep the peace of a block better than a policeman and his club.” Riis was not alone in his belief that beauty could tame urban chaos, but are aesthetic experiences always a social good? Could aesthetics also inspire violent crime, working-class unrest, and racial murder? To answer these questions, Russ Castronovo turns to those who debated claims that art could democratize culture—civic reformers, anarchists, novelists, civil rights activists, and college professors—to reveal that beauty provides unexpected occasions for radical, even revolutionary, political thinking. Beautiful Democracy explores the intersection of beauty and violence by examining university lectures and course materials on aesthetics from a century ago along with riots, acts of domestic terrorism, magic lantern exhibitions, and other public spectacles. Philosophical aesthetics, realist novels, urban photography, and black periodicals, Castronovo argues, inspired and instigated all sorts of collective social endeavors, from the progressive nature of tenement reform to the horrors of lynching. Discussing Jane Addams, W.E.B. Du Bois, Charlie Chaplin, William Dean Howells, and Riis as aesthetic theorists in the company of Kant and Schiller, Beautiful Democracy ultimately suggests that the distance separating academic thinking and popular wisdom about social transformation is narrower than we generally suppose.
