This book has been purposely given a sub-title, in order that the peculiar position of the Indian, in 1861, may be brought out in strong relief. He was enough inside the American Union to have something to say about secession and enough outside of it to be approached diplomatically. It is well to note, indeed, that Albert Pike negotiated the several Indian treaties that bound the Indian nations in an alliance with the seceded states, under the authority of the Confederate State Department
Every Inaugural Speech from Washington's shortest to Harrison's longest.... Includes pictures of the presidents.
Grace stresses the opinion of witnesses and friends to formulate a picture of Joan of Arc of her life.
The modern State is the distinctive product of a unique civilization. But it is a product which is still in the making, and a part of the process is a struggle between new and old principles of social order. To understand the new, which is our main purpose, we must first cast a glance at the old. We must understand what the social structure was, which-mainly, as I shall show, under the inspiration of Liberal ideas
It might be worth while for England to take risks to settle the Jewish problem; but not to take risks merely to unsettle the Arab problem, and leave the Jewish problem unsolved.
It is strange how gloomy thoughts vanish as one sets foot in Asia. Only yesterday we were still tossing on the sea of European thought, with its political anxieties, its social miseries and its restless aspirations, the heritage of the unquiet race of Japhet-and now we seem to have ridden into still water, where we can rest and forget and be thankful.
This book is a preservation work to save a bit of history for today's woman. It contains many pictures of women that were local leaders in the Suffrage Movement and some men that endorsed and supported their cause.
Originally published in 1880 the Biographical Encyclopedia of Texas carries a rare and unique listing with bios of Texans seldom remembered in history courses. Heroes and Statesmen & Women that should never be forgotten are brought forward in this reprint.
Bringing the War Home is a war story unlike you will ever read. Drawing on his experiences as a reporter and environmental emergency response worker in the war torn Persian Gulf as well as US Congressional and military records never before assembled in a single volume, William Thomas takes readers from nighttime missile attacks on American forces and frantic cries of "gas, gas, gas!" to the dazed survivors of Baghdad bombing raids and the wreckage-clogged Highway to Hell.
White slavery is slavery in its most vile form, unlike the type slavery the USA had in the 1700-1800s, where the slave auction was open and public, and ownership was transferred by property title. White slavery is abduction, kidnapping, and seducing young boys and women into a hidden world of sexual slavery.
THE object of these essays is not to exhaust criticism of the government of the United States, but only to point out the most characteristic practical features of the federal system. Taking Congress as the central and predominant power of the system, their object is to illustrate everything Congressional.
The Zionist Takeover of Palestine"-written after several trips to the Holy Land, the author looks at the pitiful conditions of the Palestinian Arab refugees and examines the history of Palestine and the succession of forces which have influenced that history, including the role of the Soviet Communists, British and Americans, and how their meddling has brought about the present tragic state of affairs. Also is an analysis of how Zionists collect money from Americans and a penetrating critique of Israel's "democratic" government.
The fact that there is no modern or even ancient accessible work on the nature and powers of constitutional conventions, has led me to attempt to fill the gap with the present book, which represents no preconceived theory, but rather merely an impartial collection of all the available law and precedent.
Story of one girl's plight dealing with white slavery and the government's blind eye to the atrocities in Chicago.
THE language of Zosimus, according to the judgment of Photius, Patriarch of Constantinople, in his BIBLIOTHECA, is concise, expressive, pure, and sweet; but, being a Heathen, he often reproaches the Christian Princes, and is upon that account reprehended by the same Photius, by Evagrius, Nicephorus, and others: it is, however, the opinion of Leunclavius, that Zosimus ought to be believed even in those relations, there being no doubt that the Christian Princes were guilty of many enormities, which could not be passed over by the faithful Historian.
