The Radical and the Republican: Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, and the Triumph of Antislavery Politics
ISBN: 9780393330656 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "My husband considered you a dear friend," Mary Todd Lincoln wrote to Frederick Douglass in the weeks after Lincoln's assassination. The frontier lawyer and the former slave, the cautious politician and the fiery reformer, the President and the most famous black man in America--their lives traced different paths that finally met in the bloody landscape of secession, Civil War, and emancipation. Opponents at first, they gradually became allies, each influenced by and attracted to the other. Their three meetings in the White House signaled a profound shift in the direction of the Civil War, and...

Freedom National: The Destruction of Slavery in the United States, 1861-1865
ISBN: 9780393065312 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 596 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Freedom National is a groundbreaking history of emancipation that joins the political initiatives of Lincoln and the Republicans in Congress with the courageous actions of Union soldiers and runaway slaves in the South. It shatters the widespread conviction that the Civil War was first and foremost a war to restore the Union and only gradually, when it became a military necessity, a war to end slavery. These two aims--"Liberty and Union, one and inseparable"--were intertwined in Republican policy from the very start of the war.

The Scorpion's Sting : Antislavery and the Coming of the Civil War
ISBN: 9780393239935 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Surrounded by a ring of fire, the scorpion stings itself to death. The image, widespread among antislavery leaders before the Civil War, captures their long-standing strategy for peaceful abolition: they would surround the slave states with a cordon of freedom. They planned to use federal power wherever they could to establish freedom: the western territories, the District of Columbia, the high seas. By constricting slavery they would induce a crisis: slaves would escape in ever-greater numbers, the southern economy would falter, and finally the southern states would abolish the institution...

Scorpion's Sting: Antislavery and the Coming of the Civil War
ISBN: 9780393351217 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The image of a scorpion surrounded by a ring of fire, stinging itself to death, was widespread among antislavery leaders before the Civil War. It captures their long-standing strategy for peaceful abolition: they would surround the slave states with a cordon of freedom, constricting slavery and inducing the social crisis in which the peculiar institution would die. The image opens a fresh perspective on antislavery and the coming of the Civil War, brilliantly explored here by one of our greatest historians of the period. The image of a scorpion surrounded by a ring of fire, stinging itself to death, was widespread among antislavery leaders before the Civil War. It c... |

Slavery and Freedom: An Interpretation of the Old South
ISBN: 9780393317664 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This pathbreaking interpretation of the slaveholding South begins with the insight that slavery and freedom were not mutually exclusive but were intertwined in every dimension of life in the South. James Oakes traces the implications of this insight for relations between masters and slaves, slaveholders and non-slaveholders, and for the rise of a racist ideology.

Ruling Race: A History of American Slaveholders
ISBN: 9780393317053 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This pathbreaking social history of the slaveholding South marks a turn in our understanding of antebellum America and the coming of the Civil War. Oakes's bracing analysis breaks the myth that slaveholders were a paternalistic aristocracy dedicated to the values of honor, race, and section. Instead they emerge as having much in common with their entrepreneurial counterparts in the North: they were committed to free-market commercialism and political democracy for white males. The Civil War was not an inevitable conflict between civilizations on different paths but the crack-up of a single...
