PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-An American Bible: A History of the Good Book in the United States, 1777-1880

An American Bible is an extremely compelling piece of cultural history that succeeds in making rich rather than schematic sense of the major dramas that lay behind the production of over 1700 different American editions of the Bible in the century after the American Revolution Gutjahrs book is especially powerful in demonstrating how nineteenthcentury efforts to purge the Bible of textual and translational impurities in search of an authentic text led ironically to the emergence of entirely new gospels like the Book of Mormon and the massive fictionalized literature dealing with the life of ChristJay FliegelmanStanford UniversityDuring the first threequarters of the nineteenth century American publishing experienced unprecedented exponential growth An emerging market economy widespread religious revival educational reforms and innovations in print technology worked together to create a culture increasingly formed and framed by the power of print At the center of this new culture was the Bible the book that has been called the best seller in American publishing history Yet it is important to realize that the Bible in America was not a simple uniform entity First printed in the United States during the American Revolution the Bible underwent many revisions translations and changes in format as different editors and publishers appropriated it to meet a wide range of changing ideological and economic demandsThis book examines how many different constituencies both secular and religious fought to keep the Bible the preeminent text in the United States as the countrys print marketplace experienced explosive growth The author shows how these heated battles had profound consequences for many American cultural practices and forms of printed material By exploring how publishers clergymen politicians educators and lay persons met the threat that new printed material posed to the dominance of the Bible by changing both its form and its contents the author reveals the causes and consequences of mutating Gods supposedly immutable Word.

Lincoln grew up on the western frontier in Kentucky. Largely self-educated, he became a lawyer in Illinois, a Whig Party leader, and a member of the Illinois House of Representatives, where he served from 1834 to 1846. In 1860 Lincoln secured the Republican Party presidential nomination as a moderate from a swing state. With very little support in the slaveholding states of the South, he swept the North and was elected president in 1860. His election prompted seven southern slave states to form the Confederate States of America before he was sworn into office.. Unit 1, Chapter 4, Section 3.

Using archival sources, Ian Robert Dowbiggin documents the involvement of both American and Canadian psychiatrists in the eugenics movement of the early twentieth century. He explains why professional men and women committed to helping those less fortunate than themselves arrived at such morally and intellectually dubious conclusions. Psychiatrists at the end of the nineteenth century felt professionally vulnerable, Dowbiggin explains, because they were under intense pressure from state and provincial governments and from other physicians to reform their specialty. Eugenic ideas, which dominated public health policy making, seemed the best vehicle for catching up with the progress of science. Among the prominent psychiatrist-eugenicists Dowbiggin considers are G. Alder Blumer, Charles Kirk Clarke, Thomas Salmon, Clare Hincks, and William Partlow. Tracing psychiatric support for eugenics throughout the interwar years, Dowbiggin pays special attention to the role of psychiatrists in the fierce debates about immigration policy. His examination of psychiatry\'s unfortunate flirtation with eugenics elucidates how professional groups come to think and act along common lines within specific historical contexts. An intersectional history of the shared struggle for African American and Latinx civil rightsSpanning more than two hundred years, An African American and Latinx History of the United States is a revolutionary, politically charged narrative history, arguing that the Global South was crucial to the development of America as we know it. Scholar and activist Paul Ortiz challenges the notion of westward progress as exalted by widely taught formulations like manifest destiny and Jacksonian democracy, and shows how placing African American, Latinx, and Indigenous voices unapologetically front and center transforms US history into one of the working class organizing against imperialism.Drawing on rich narratives and primary source documents, Ortiz links racial segregation in the Southwest and the rise and violent fall of a powerful tradition of Mexican labor organizing in the twentieth century, to May 1, 2006, known as International Workers\' Day, when migrant laborers--Chicana/os, Afrocubanos, and immigrants from every continent on earth--united in resistance on the first Day Without Immigrants. As African American civil rights activists fought Jim Crow laws and Mexican labor organizers warred against the suffocating grip of capitalism, Black and Spanish-language newspapers, abolitionists, and Latin American revolutionaries coalesced around movements built between people from the United States and people from Central America and the Caribbean. In stark contrast to the resurgence of America First rhetoric, Black and Latinx intellectuals and organizers today have historically urged the United States to build bridges of solidarity with the nations of the Americas.Incisive and timely, this bottom-up history, told from the interconnected vantage points of Latinx and African Americans, reveals the radically different ways that people of the diaspora have addressed issues still plaguing the United States today, and it offers a way forward in the continued struggle for universal civil rights.2018 Winner of the PEN Oakland/Josephine Miles Literary Award This new book covers every nuclear delivery system the United States ever deployed.
