Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Scientist, abolitionist, revolutionary: that is the Benjamin Franklin we know and celebrate. To this description, the talented young historian David Waldstreicher shows we must add runaway, slave master, and empire builder. But Runaway America does much more than revise our image of a beloved founding father. Finding slavery at the center of Franklin's life, Waldstreicher proves it was likewise central to the Revolution, America's founding, and the very notion of freedom we associate with both. Franklin was the sole Founding Father who was once owned by someone else and was... Scientist, abolitionist, revolutionary: that is the Benjamin Franklin we know and celebrate.

John Quincy Adams and the Politics of Slavery: Selections from the Diary
ISBN: 9780199947959 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the final years of his political career, President John Quincy Adams was well known for his objections to slavery, with rival Henry Wise going so far as to label him "the acutest, the astutest, the archest enemy of southern slavery that ever existed." As a young statesman, however, he supported slavery. How did the man who in 1795 told a British cabinet officer not to speak to him of "the Virginians, the Southern people, the democrats," whom he considered "in no other light than as Americans," come to foretell "a grand struggle between slavery and freedom"? How could a committed...
