DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 1770, tavernkeeper Abigail Stoneman called in her debts by flourishing a handful of playing cards before the Rhode Island Court of Common Pleas. Scrawled on the cards were the IOUs of drinkers whose links to Stoneman testified to women's paradoxical place in the urban economy of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Stoneman did traditional women's work—boarding, feeding, cleaning, and selling alcohol—but her customers, like her creditors, underscore her connections to an expansive commercial society. These connections are central to The Ties That Buy. Historian Ellen Hartigan-O'Connor traces the lives of urban women in early America to reveal how they used the ties of residence, work, credit, and money to shape consumer culture at a time when the politics of the marketplace was gaining national significance. Covering the period 1750-1820, the book analyzes how women such as Stoneman used and were used by shifting forms of credit and cash in an economy transitioning between neighborly exchanges and investment-oriented transactions. In this world, commerce reached into every part of life. At the hearths of multifamily homes, renters, lodgers, and recent acquaintances lived together and struck financial deals for survival. Landladies, enslaved washerwomen, shopkeepers, and hucksters sustained themselves by serving the mobile population. A new economic practice in America—shopping—mobilized hierarchical and friendly relationships into wide-ranging consumer networks that depended on these same market connections. Rhetoric emerging after the Revolution downplayed the significance of expanding female economic life in the interest of stabilizing the political order. But women were quintessential market participants, with fluid occupational identities, cross-class social and economic connections, and a firm investment in cash and commercial goods for power and meaning.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 1908 Ellen Wilkinson, a fiery adolescent from a working-class family in Manchester, was “the only girl who talks in school debates.” By midcentury, Wilkinson had helped found Britain’s Communist Party, earned a seat in Parliament, and become a renowned advocate for the poor and dispossessed at home and abroad. She was one of the first female delegates to the United Nations, and she played a central role in Britain’s postwar Labour government. In Laura Beers’s account of Wilkinson’s remarkable life, we have a richly detailed portrait of a time when Left-leaning British men and women from a range of backgrounds sought to reshape domestic, imperial, and international affairs. Wilkinson is best remembered as the leader of the Jarrow Crusade, the 300-mile march of two hundred unemployed shipwrights and steelworkers to petition the British government for assistance. But this was just one small part of Red Ellen’s larger transnational fight for social justice. She was involved in a range of campaigns, from the quest for official recognition of the Spanish Republican government, to the fight for Indian independence, to the effort to smuggle Jewish refugees out of Germany. During Wilkinson’s lifetime, many British radicals viewed themselves as members of an international socialist community, and some, like her, became involved in socialist, feminist, and pacifist movements that spanned the globe. By focusing on the extent to which Wilkinson’s activism transcended Britain’s borders, Red Ellen adjusts our perception of the British Left in the early twentieth century.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSarah crosses enemy lines on a top secret deception operation for General George Washington. Based on actual events. "I have never been afraid of man or beast, Major Brooks. I can easily do this, trust me!" Sarah declared. "But Sarah, we don't even have a plan for how exactly you would deliver this message directly into General Howe's hands!" said Brooks. Sarah paused to think and then boldly asserted, "Then I will have to make it up as I go, depending on what's going on when I get to the British camp." ◆◆◆ Sarah's life in 18th century Massachusetts was adventurous from beginning to end. Not long after Sarah married her best friend, John, Britain's oppression in Boston came to a boiling point. She and John responded by joining forces with other Patriots who wanted freedom from England. In 1775, General Washington arrived in Boston to lead the newly formed Continental Army against the British. Knowing it would be nearly impossible to push the redcoats out of Boston, Washington devised a plan. He would need a courageous courier. That search led the general to John. But when something unexpected happens on the night of the secret mission, Sarah volunteers to cross enemy lines in John's place. This book is written for fifth graders, homeschoolers, or anyone studying American History and includes educational activities related to the Revolutionary War. If you like Stuart Gibbs' Spy School fiction series, Elizabeth Raum's Spies of the American Revolution: An Interactive Espionage Adventure, and Avi's Sophia's War: A Tale of the Revolution, you won't be able to put down Sarah Saves the Day interactive biography with educational activities. Author Ellen Chervenick is a descendent of the real-life heroine, Sarah Bradlee Fulton, and created this book to preserve Sarah's story.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book posits that the American Revolution--waged to form a "more perfect union"--still raged long after the guns went silent. Eight major fugitive slave stories of the antebellum era are described and interpreted to demonstrate how fugitive slaves and their abolitionist allies embraced Patrick Henry's motto "Give me Liberty or Give me Death" and the principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. African Americans and white abolitionists seized upon these dramatic events to exhort citizens to complete the Revolution by extending liberty to all Americans. Casting fugitive slaves and their slave revolt leaders as heroic American Revolutionaries seeking freedom for themselves and their enslaved brethren, this book provides a broader interpretation of the American Revolution.
