Category : Cato Street Conspiracy, 1820
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
"A high profile treason trial in a highly nervous London sponsored by a highly nervous government who considered revolution to be a real possibility. Arthur Thistlewood (1770-1820), later to be a Cato Street conspirator, had developed revolutionary sympathies by reading Paine's works and by visits to America and Paris. He joined the revolutionary Spencean Society in London (the Society aim at revolutionising all social institutions in the interest of the poorer classes) and, together with the father and son James Watson, organised a revolutionary meeting at Spa Fields. He and his co-conspirators were arrested and tried but extraordinarily all were acquitted. He was eventually hanged in 1820 after the Cato Street debacle"--description.

Mobtown Massacre: Alexander Hanson and the Baltimore Newspaper War of 1812
Author: Josh S. Cutler
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1467142271
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
With a bitterly divided nation plunged into the War of 1812, a fiery young Federalist editor named Alexander Hanson risked his life to defend a newspaper that dared express unpopular views. His words provoked a violent standoff that crippled the city of Baltimore and left Hanson beaten within an inch of his life. This little-known episode in American history - complete with a midnight jailbreak, bloodthirsty mobs and unspeakable acts of torture - helped shape the course of war, the Federalist Party and the nation's very notion of the freedom of the press. Josh Cutler's history of the Mobtown Massacre offers a lesson in liberty that reverberates today.

President by Massacre
Author: Barbara Alice Mann
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 455
Book Description
President by Massacre pulls back the curtain of "expansionism," revealing how Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, and Zachary Taylor massacred Indians to "open" land to slavery and oligarchic fortunes. President by Massacre examines the way in which presidential hopefuls through the first half of the nineteenth century parlayed militarily mounted land grabs into "Indian-hating" political capital to attain the highest office in the United States. The text zeroes in on three eras of U.S. "expansionism" as it led to the massacre of Indians to "open" land to African slavery while luring lower European classes into racism's promise to raise "white" above "red" and "black." This book inquires deeply into the existence of the affected Muskogee ("Creek"), Shawnee, Sauk, Meskwaki ("Fox"), and Seminole, before and after invasion, showing what it meant to them to have been so displaced and to have lost a large percentage of their members in the process. It additionally addresses land seizures from these and the Tecumseh, Tenskwatawa, Black Hawk, and Osceola tribes. President by Massacre is written for undergraduate and graduate readers who are interested in the Native Americans of the Eastern Woodlands, U.S. slavery, and the settler politics of U.S. expansionism.
