The Road to Disunion: Volume I: Secessionists at Bay,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Freehling, William W., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Far from a monolithic block of diehard slave states, the South in the eight decades before the Civil War was, in William Freehling's words, "a world so lushly various as to be a storyteller's dream." It was a world where Deep South cotton planters clashed with South Carolina rice growers, where the egalitarian spirit sweeping the North seeped down through border states already uncertain about slavery, where even sections of the same state (for instance, coastal and mountain Virginia) divided bitterly on key issues. It was the world of Jefferson Davis, John C. Calhoun, Andrew Jackson, and Thomas Jefferson, and also of Gullah Jack, Nat Turner, and Frederick Douglass. Now, in the first volume of his long awaited, monumental study of the South's road to disunion, historian William Freehling offers a sweeping political and social history of the antebellum South from to . All the dramatic events leading to secession are here: the Missouri Compromise, the Nullification Controversy, the Gag Rule ("the Pearl Harbor of the slavery controversy"), the Annexation of Texas, the Compromise of , and the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Freehling vividly recounts each crisis, illuminating complex issues and sketching colorful portraits of major figures. Along the way, he reveals the surprising extent to which slavery influenced national politics before , and he provides important reinterpretations of American republicanism, Jeffersonian states' rights, Jacksonian democracy, and the causes of the American Civil War. But for all Freehling's brilliant insight into American antebellum politics, Secessionists at Bay is at bottom the saga of the rich social tapestry of the pre-war South. He takes us to old Charleston, Natchez, and Nashville, to the big house of a typical plantation, and we feel anew the tensions between the slaveowner and his family, the poor whites and the planters, the established South and the newer South, and especially between the slave and his master, "Cuffee" and "Massa." Freehling brings the Old South back to life in all its color, cruelty, and diversity. It is a memorable portrait, certain to be a key analysis of this crucial era in American history.

The science of sea turtle biology has expanded at an exponential rate, leading to major advances in many areas.

16hh 13 year old Bay TB to stay at current yard

Sam is a handsome loving VERY quirky boy who needs bringing back into work. He is definately NOT a novice ride. Sam is quite opinionated but not in a bad way and is prone to a buck which can be worked through, he loves to jump but is not keen on schooling but then neither am I. Sam is vaccinated, has had his teeth done and is on the yard worming program. His current yard offers 3 manages and a lunge arena. The yard also offers clear round and dressage events in the Summer. Turnout is all year round and there is access to the local Bridleways and Byways. Sam is good in traffic and brilliant if ridden out in company, he is however a little more spooky if ridden out alone but will still go forward. Read more
