Описание: “When Lincoln took office, in March 1861, the national government had no power to touch slavery in the states where it existed. Lincoln understood this, and said as much in his first inaugural address, noting: ‘I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists.’” How, then, asks Paul Finkelman in the introduction to Lincoln, Congress, and Emancipation, did Lincoln—who personally hated slavery—lead the nation through the Civil War to January 1865, when Congress passed the constitutional amendment that ended slavery outright? The essays in this book examine the route Lincoln took to achieve emancipation and how it is remembered both in the United States and abroad. The ten contributors—all on the cutting edge of contemporary scholarship on Lincoln and the Civil War—push our understanding of this watershed moment in US history in new directions. They present wide-ranging contributions to Lincoln studies, including a parsing of the sixteenth president’s career in Congress in the 1840s and a brilliant critique of the historical choices made by Steven Spielberg and writer Tony Kushner in the movie Lincoln, about the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment. As a whole, these classroom-ready readings provide fresh and essential perspectives on Lincoln’s deft navigation of constitutional and political circumstances to move emancipation forward.

Описание: Julie and New Beginnings is a love story. It begins with Julie inviting me to a Square Dance at her church. We had never met. We had never be introduced. We had never talked. She stopped me in the hall between first and second period classes of our high school. She called me by name. She introduced herself. She invited me to the square dance at her church. We had a grand time. We are enjoying many wonderful New Beginnings since this First Beginning. The book shares ways you can discover New Beginnings for your life. Life is New Beginnings. You are welcome to enjoy the New Beginnings helpful to you.

Описание: On the morning of September 11, 2001, Muslim extremists hijacked U.S. airplanes and crashed them in New York City, Washington, DC, and rural Pennsylvania. These attacks killed 2,977 people and made Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda, and terrorism household words. This important book looks at the events leading up to 9/11, the morning of the attacks, the devastating consequences, and the life-altering aftermath. Stunning images and thoughtful sidebars and fact boxes accompany the text, which also highlights how Americans came together to heal after the tragedy.

Описание: During the long decade from 1848 to 1861 America was like a train speeding down the track, without an engineer or brakes. The new territories acquired from Mexico had vastly increased the size of the nation, but debate over their status - and importantly the status of slavery within them - paralyzed the nation. This book examines these issues.
