Pages : 364
Book Description
Hocus-pocus Both man, Lemur, and friend, Black Cat, work as spoken-wordsmith; their place of work are meetings and conventions or wherever the crowd is large. They erect their tents at different places and start to woo people to their stands, contradicting each other in other to win enough people to their stands to believe in either of them and, in the process sell their tracts and pamphlets. They have just finished from Hyde Park and Stratford where there is a huge gathering of musical and sporting turnouts. Grace works as an official of the government and augments her wage by going to the street every weekend when she is not working with her battered-looking violin to play some disjointed tones by saying 'hello' to forlorn looking passersby to attract their attention and patronage. Your sins are much heavier, then! God's punishment upon your brute would have been tampered if in your weakness you had hit a wife instead of a woman He first created ere her decision at alteration into the creation to be priced and possessed by punch gloves like you, as she strives towards the dearness of motherhood! O, how debased thou art! Why did you allow thyself to be driven to the sharp edge of dire evil by the devil thou art! To raise thy hand up against anything is evil itself let alone God's love, a woman! She will see to medication! Sinner! Subways and moron ...And the fools and yet the many and more damnable bastards who would not aspire to dare...furthering the rapid rise of more fools and many more inconsiderate bastards! Bastards! Oh, difficult villains! It looked at the expanse of life that was present everywhere, the greenery, the physical presence of endeavours and the sacrifices of minds desperately innovative and great in the ever achievements of all these grandeurs, and when it thought of the so-called educated minds far yonder...

Secret Societies and Clubs in American History
Author: David Luhrssen
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
Grounded in extensive historical research, this eye-opening survey reveals the long-undervalued role secret societies have played in American history. Americans are fascinated by secret societies and have devoured exaggerated claims for their influence. At the same time, scholarly assessments of covert groups that have shaped American social, cultural, and political history have often undervalued their role or even questioned their existence. This survey challenges both the exaggerators and the deniers. Freemasons? They may not be the hidden rulers of the world, but a significant number of America's founders were Masons. The Know Nothings? Two American presidents joined the movement. The Bohemian Grove? Republican politicians and corporate leaders really did engage in strange behavior under the redwood trees through the 20th century. Revealing fascinating facts about some of the most talked-about covert societies, including the Mafia, the Skull and Bones and the Ku Klux Klan, Secret Societies and Clubs in American History exposes the truth about the subcultures that made their mark on some of the most important events in the nation's history and contributed to the shaping of the country itself.

Anatomy of Rebellion
Author: Claude E. Welch Jr.
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438423772
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
Anatomy of Rebellion provides an understanding of four rebellions that will make clear the factors that are crucial in the development of other rebellions. Seeking a political pattern in the process of rebellion, Claude Welch, Jr., has investigated four large-scale rural uprisings that came close to becoming revolutions: the Taiping rebellion in China 1850-64, the Telengana uprising in India of 1946-51, the Mau Mau rebellion in Kenya of 1952-56, the Kwilu uprising in Zaire of 1963-65. Weaving the facts of these rebellions with theories about political violence, Welch follows the rebellions through the initial stages of discontent to the explosion of violence to the suppression of the uprisings. He then challenges explanations of political violence, both Marxist and non-Marxist, that other scholars have proposed. Rebellions have not been studied as thoroughly as the major successful revolutions, although the frequency of rebellions in the modern world is not likely to diminish. Rural dwellers' discontents are still clashing with central governments' ambitions; Anatomy of Rebellion clarifies how this volatile type of political violence occurs.

A Secret Society History of the Civil War
Author: Mark A. Lause
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252093593
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
This unique history of the Civil War considers the impact of nineteenth-century American secret societies on the path to as well as the course of the war. Beginning with the European secret societies that laid the groundwork for Freemasonry in the United States, Mark A. Lause analyzes how the Old World's traditions influenced various underground groups and movements in America, particularly George Lippard's Brotherhood of the Union, an American attempt to replicate the political secret societies that influenced the European revolutions of 1848. Lause traces the Brotherhood's various manifestations, the most conspicuous being the Knights of the Golden Circle (out of which developed the Ku Klux Klan), and the Confederate secret groups through which John Wilkes Booth and others attempted to undermine the Union. Lause profiles the key leaders of these organizations, with special focus on George Lippard, Hugh Forbes, and George Washington Lafayette Bickley. Antebellum secret societies ranged politically from those with progressive or even revolutionary agendas to those that pursued conservative or oppressive goals. This book shows how, in the years leading up to the Civil War, these clandestine organizations exacerbated existing sectional tensions in the United States. Lause's research indicates that the pervasive influence of secret societies may have played a part in key events such as the Freesoil movement, the beginning of the Republican party, John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, Lincoln's election, and the Southern secession process of 1860-1861. This exceptional study encompasses both white and African American secret society involvement, revealing the black fraternal experience in antebellum America as well as the clandestine operations that provided assistance to escaped slaves via the Underground Railroad. Unraveling these pervasive and extensive networks of power and influence, A Secret Society History of the Civil War demonstrates that antebellum secret societies played a greater role in affecting Civil War-era politics than has been previously acknowledged.
