Roots of Secession
Author: William A. Link
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807863203
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
Offering a provocative new look at the politics of secession in antebellum Virginia, William Link places African Americans at the center of events and argues that their acts of defiance and rebellion had powerful political repercussions throughout the turbulent period leading up to the Civil War. An upper South state with nearly half a million slaves--more than any other state in the nation--and some 50,000 free blacks, Virginia witnessed a uniquely volatile convergence of slave resistance and electoral politics in the 1850s. While masters struggled with slaves, disunionists sought to join a regionwide effort to secede and moderates sought to protect slavery but remain in the Union. Arguing for a definition of political action that extends beyond the electoral sphere, Link shows that the coming of the Civil War was directly connected to Virginia's system of slavery, as the tension between defiant slaves and anxious slaveholders energized Virginia politics and spurred on the impending sectional crisis.

Pages : 352
Book Description
Roots and Wings recounts Virginia Tanner's remarkable career as a dance artist, educator, and founder of the University of Utah's Tanner Dance Program. From her early experiences assisting at Evelyn Davis's dance school in Washington, D.C., to the creation of the Tanner Dance Program at the University of Utah, her influence in the field was pervasive. She channeled children's energy, sharpened their senses, and encouraged youthful, authentic dance expression. Tanner's work endures, continuing to echo with sensitivity and spirit in the bodies of young dancers throughout the United States and abroad. By revealing both the broader and specific themes of Tanner's career and legacy, this narrative fills an important void. While exploring Tanner's story, it also recognizes the value of unique instructional methodologies for teaching dance to young children and the vital role the arts play in children's lives.

Reading the Roots
Author: Michael P. Branch
Publisher: University of Georgia Press
ISBN: 9780820325484
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
Reading the Roots is an unprecedented anthology of outstanding early writings about American nature--a rich, influential, yet critically underappreciated body of work. Rather than begin with Henry David Thoreau, who is often identified as the progenitor of American nature writing, editor Michael P. Branch instead surveys the long tradition that prefigures and anticipates Thoreau and his literary descendants. The selections in Reading the Roots describe a diversity of landscapes, wildlife, and natural phenomena, and their authors represent many different nationalities, cultural affiliations, religious views, and ideological perspectives. The writings gathered here also range widely in terms of subject, rhetorical form, and disciplinary approach--from promotional tracts and European narratives of contact with Native Americans to examples of scientific theology and romantic nature writing. The volume also includes a critical introduction discussing the cultural, scientific, and literary value of early American nature writing; headnotes that contextualize all authors and selections; and a substantial bibliography of primary and secondary sources in the field. Reading the Roots at last makes early American landscapes--and a range of literary responses to them--accessible to scholars, students, and general readers.

Book Description
A historical and genealogical book that covers more than a millennium of time with many spellings of the Bell family along with a pattern of their European, English, Scottish and Irish migration movements to North America and the West Indies colonies. --- Compiled from the author's repository of computer notes and facts of over one hundred thousand pages covering over fourteen thousand Bells of many spellings. -- They are descendants of Flemish/Normans who became Nobles, Clan Chiefs, Members of Parliament, Members of Congress, Governors, Bishops, Clergymen, Great Merchants, Worshipful Merchants, and Indentured Servants. -- Bell's were active as powerful Speaker of The House of Commons, Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer to the Queen, Virginia Company of London Charter Signers, Fierce Border Reivers, Explorers, Inventors, Colony Settlers, Plantation Owners, Headrights, Soldiers, Military Officers, American Patriots, Transported Undesirables, Slave Owners, and a Presidential Candidate. -- They were ancestors of the present day English Crown. --- This is an attractive and scholarly book whose authors have compiled a timeline of several Bell bloodlines, their many Coat of Arms and other family events from ca. 820 AD to ca. 1800. -- Today many family researchers can often trace their ancestors to ca. 1800, this book may help them to find earlier kinship. --- The unique style of compiling, sequencing, writing and cramming thousands of orderly facts is a first for established family archivists and researchers, yet is easy for beginners to follow. -- Hundreds of other books that list related Bell families after 1800 are referenced. -- The index of about 7000 other than Bell surnames, often related, may be of interest to non Bell researchers.
