Edward Coles, former Virginian aristocrat and future governor of Illinois, began his move westward under the impression that the Northwest Ordinance straightforwardly banned slavery in all territories north of the Ohio River. This impression, however, was much more absolute in law than it ever was in fact. The reality of the situation was that slaveholders moved to territories such as Illinois and brought their lifestyle with them.

Market Manipulation and The Price of Eggs: A Microhistory of Free Markets and Artificial Prices
ISBN: 9783031871702 / Angielski / Twarda / 2025 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.)

ISBN: 9783031438301 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This Palgrave Pivot presents the first in-depth study of the pioneering Kansas Blue Sky Act of 1911, the first effort in American financial history to regulate the sale of securities in the US. Though offering a balanced examination of critiques of the legislation as a barrier to individual liberty, interstate commerce, and economic growth, the author challenges the prevailing view of the Kansas Act as a complete anomaly, instead exploring sensitively what ‘blue sky laws’ can tell us about small-town market values during the nineteenth-century. Drawing on contemporary accounts... This Palgrave Pivot presents the first in-depth study of the pioneering Kansas Blue Sky Act of 1911, the first effort in American financial history... |
