Описание: Abraham Lincoln and Civil War America is a short biography aimed at a general audience, but because of its short length, it will also be suitable for use on college courses in American history. The biography will concentrate on Lincoln`s years as president, with particular emphasis upon his role in determining the course and outcome of the Civil War.
In the spring of 1861, Union military authorities arrested Maryland farmer John Merryman on charges of treason against the United States for burning railroad bridges around Baltimore in an effort to prevent northern soldiers from reaching the capital. From his prison cell at Fort McHenry, Merryman petitioned Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Roger B. Taney for release through a writ of habeas corpus. Taney issued the writ, but President Abraham Lincoln ignored it. In mid-July Merryman was released, only to be indicted for treason in a Baltimore federal court. His case, however, never went to trial and federal prosecutors finally dismissed it in 1867. In Abraham Lincoln and Treason in the Civil War, Jonathan White reveals how the arrest and prosecution of this little-known Baltimore farmer had a lasting impact on the Lincoln administration and Congress as they struggled to develop policies to deal with both northern traitors and southern rebels. His work exposes several perennially controversial legal and constitutional issues in American history, including the nature and extent of presidential war powers, the development of national policies for dealing with disloyalty and treason, and the protection of civil liberties in wartime.

Описание:
The resurgence of interest in Cicero's political philosophy in the last twenty years demands a re-evaluation of Cicero's ideal statesman and its relationship not only to Cicero's political theory but also to his practical politics.
Jonathan Zarecki proposes three original arguments: firstly, that by the publication of his De Republica in 51 BC Cicero accepted that some sort of return to monarchy was inevitable. Secondly, that Cicero created his model of the ideal statesman as part of an attempt to reconcile the mixed constitution of Rome's past with his belief in the inevitable return of sole-person rule. Thirdly, that the ideal statesman was the primary construct against which Cicero viewed the political and military activities of Pompey, Caesar and Antony, and himself.
Описание: This study introduces a new perspective on Lincoln and the Civil War through an examination of his declaration of our national values and the subsequent interpretation of those values by families during the war.

Описание:
If you think Abraham Lincoln was our greatest president, think again The truth is that unless you're a dictator, a socialist, a racist, a warmonger, an outlaw, a sexist, or a left-wing progressive, you won't find much about him that's admirable. Our 19th-Century American ancestors would certainly have agreed with this assessment. This is why, after all, they voted him the worst U.S. president up until that time, and it's why even his own party members and military officers called him a "tyrant," "swindler," "monster," "buffoon," "butcher," "fiend," the "original gorilla," "filthy story-teller," "robber," "braggart," "liar," "usurper," "ignoramus," "scoundrel," "well-meaning baboon," and "that damned idiot in the White House "
Naturally, the Lincoln-loving, Liberal controlled media and educational system would rather you not know any of this. But for those who are interested in the truth, award-winning Southern author, historian, and Lincoln scholar Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook has written The Great Impersonator 99 Reasons to Dislike Abraham Lincoln. Here, among Seabrook's 99 well researched footnoted entries, you will find stunning little known facts about our sixteenth chief executive, facts that have been buried for 150 years beneath a mountain of Northern mythology.
Why were they concealed? Because exposing the real man exposes the truth that his Liberal devotees are still trying so hard to suppress: President Lincoln waged an illegal war on the Constitution and states' rights; invaded a legally formed foreign country (the Confederacy) that only wished to be left alone; committed countless brutal crimes against both unarmed American citizens and his own soldiers; and campaigned his entire life to have all American blacks "sent back to Africa, to their own native land," as he so inelegantly put it. Not familiar with any of this? Now you know why Colonel Seabrook rightly calls him, not the Great Emancipator, but the Great Impersonator
Get the inside scoop on the authentic Abraham Lincoln in this brief but important work on the big government Liberal who intentionally surrounded himself with socialists, Marxists, communists, gangsters, anti-abolitionists, and fellow white supremacists and separatists. Discover the real reason he was called "Honest Abe," why he referred to all non-whites as "inferior races," and why when it came to blacks, former Northern slave Frederick Douglass said that Lincoln was missing "the genuine spark of humanity."
An attractive, unique, affordable, and tourist-friendly work that will appeal to both Civil War buffs and historical educators alike, The Great Impersonator 99 Reasons to Dislike Abraham Lincoln is the perfect addition to any retail outlet, including not only bookstores, but Civil War sites, historic houses, and museum gift stores. Available in paperback and hardcover.
Seabrook's other titles include: Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner ; Confederate Monuments: Why Every American Should Honor Confederate Soldiers and Their Memorials; The Ultimate Civil War Quiz Book; The Great Yankee Coverup: What the North Doesn't Want You to Know About Lincoln's War; Lincoln's War: The Real Cause, the Real Winner, the Real Loser; Confederate Flag Facts: What Every American Should Know About Dixie's Southern Cross; Women in Gray: A Tribute to the Ladies Who Supported the Southern Confederacy; Victorian Confederate Poetry.
