Hernando de Soto invades the land known as Florida, bringing the largest invasion force assembled in the new world. Herds of cattle and swine are unloaded to feed the army, and 500 native Americans are chained to carry the invader's baggage. After two years of trekking through the endless wilderness, crossing swamps, rivers, the Appalachian mountains, and facing hostile natives, Soto's shrinking army threatens mutiny. To stop the rebellion, Soto issues secret instructions to his cavaliers to locate the supply ships and send them back to Cuba, thereby stranding his army in the new land known as Florida.Luis Castillo, leader of the Cavaliers, suffering from post traumatic stress, nevertheless follows orders and leads his scouts through a nightmare landscape of disease and shattered native American towns and cities until disaster strikes the scouts at a place known as Tampa.Luis Castillo is captured in a black water swamp south of Cape Canaveral where he gradually recovers from physical and spiritual wounds. Adopted into the clan of the Native Americans known as the "Ais" Luis learns of the slavery depredations upon the people of Florida and the Indian River Lagoon.Soon the armies of Spain and France clash on the beaches of Florida.Book One of three collected stories of violence hope that redefine the history of Florida.

One of the leading thinkers to emerge in the postwar conservative intellectual revival was the sociologist Robert Nisbet. His book The Quest for Community, published in 1953, stands as one of the most persuasive accounts of the dilemmas confronting modern society. Nearly a half century before Robert Putnam documented the atomization of society in Bowling Alone, Nisbet argued that the rise of the powerful modern state had eroded the sources of community—the family, the neighborhood, the church, the guild. Alienation and loneliness inevitably resulted. But as the traditional ties that bind fell away, the human impulse toward community led people to turn even more to the government itself, allowing statism—even totalitarianism—to flourish. This edition of Nisbet’s magnum opus features a brilliant introduction by New York Times columnist Ross Douthat and three critical essays. Published at a time when our communal life has only grown weaker and when many Americans display cultish enthusiasm for a charismatic president, this new edition of The Quest for Community shows that Nisbet’s insights are as relevant today as ever.

This shocking story of the Gillespie family and their fellow Scots-Irish to gain their freedom and liberty from the cruelties of the English Crown is chronicled from William Wallace to the American Revolutionaries. Their heritage of bravery and zeal led to the establishment of the Bill of Rights to the U. S. Constitution. The core of this riveting story is the renowned Scottish Philosophers (Luther, Calvin, Knox, Locke Gillespie, and Rutherford) and their belief in a Liberty of Consciences upon which the principles of America's Constitutional law are founded. The Gillespies ensured the survival of the Presbyterian Church through their unwavering stand against the corrupt Stuart Kings. Revengefully King James II torched, imprisoned, and killed the humble Presbyterian Covenanters. Everyone will be enlightened by the fact that the Westminster Confession of Faith which George Gillespie was instrumental in writing illuminates many ideals upon which America was founded and was a required curriculum for America's founding fathers who attended Harvard, William and Mary, Yale, and Princeton. The Catechisms were the most widely read publication in colonial America second to the Bible. Listed are suggested Constitutional amendments to control the corruption of today's Congress. Obviously, the Scots-Irish colonial pioneers of democracy, who were such visionaries and refused to ratify the Constitution due to lack of control over Congress and the President, would insist on similar controls. You'll discover from a, never before-published, Gillespie family perspective the trials and tribulations of founding the Nation's first public University, The University of North Carolina. Discussed are the Federalists' and Anti-Federalists' turmoils and the campus unrest that were ignited by the passage of the Jay Treaty.

This dynamic and comprehensive text from nationally renowned scholars continues to demonstrate the profound influence African Americans have had -- and continue to have -- on American politics. Through the use of two interrelated themes -- the idea of universal freedom and the concept of minority-majority coalitions -- the text demonstrates how the presence of Africans in the United States affected the founding of the Republic and its political institutions and processes. The authors show that through the quest for their own freedom in the United States, African Americans have universalized and expanded the freedoms of all Americans. New to the Eighth Edition A new co-author, Sherri L. Wallace, is renowned for her teaching, scholarship, and participation in APSA’s American government textbook assessment for coverage of race, ethnicity, and gender. She is the perfect addition following an election year that included female presidential candidates as well as candidates of color and issues focusing on racial tension and inequality. Offers a new Media Integration Guide for the first time. Provides the first overall assessment of the Obama administration in relation to domestic and foreign policy and racial politics in particular. Updated through the 2016 elections, connecting the Obama years with the new administration. Looks at candidates Hillary Clinton and Ben Carson in particular in relation to the themes of the book. Adds a new section on State Politics and Elections. Includes new sections on intersectionality dealing with issues of race, gender and sexuality; LGBT issues as another manifestation of the struggle for universal freedom; a discussion of the "Black Lives Matter" movement; and a new section focusing on the changing character of black ethnicity as result of increased immigration from Africa and the Caribbean. Discusses the way in which race contributed to the polarization of American politics; the connections to the Tea Party; and the Obama Presidency and the 2016 presidential campaign as the most polarized since the advent of polling. Previews the impact of the Trump Administration on matters of race and ethnicity.

Cassandra Pybus adds greatly to the work of [previous] scholars by insisting that slaves stand at the center of their own history . . . Her 'biographies' of flight expose the dangers that escape entailed and the courage it took to risk all for freedom. Only by measuring those dangers can the exhilaration of success be comprehended and the unspeakable misery of failure be appreciated.--Ira Berlin, from the Foreword During the American Revolution, thousands of slaves fled their masters to find freedom with the British. Epic Journeys of Freedom is the astounding story of these runaways and the lives they made on four continents. Having emancipated themselves, with the rhetoric about the inalienable rights of free men ringing in their ears, these men and women struggled tenaciously to make liberty a reality in their own lives. This alternative narrative of freedom fought for and won is uniquely compelling; historian Cassandra Pybus's groundbreaking research has uncovered individual stories of runaways who left America to forge difficult new lives in far-flung corners of the British Empire. Harry, for example, one of George Washington's slaves, escaped from Mount Vernon in 1776, was evacuated to Nova Scotia in 1783, and eventually relocated to Sierra Leone in West Africa with his wife and three children. Ralph Henry, who ran away from the Virginia firebrand Patrick Henry in 1776, took a similar path to precarious freedom in Sierra Leone, while others, such as John Moseley and John Randall, were evacuated with the British forces to England. Stranded in England without skills or patronage during a period of high unemployment, they were among thousands of newly freed poor blacks who struggled just to survive. While some were relocated to Sierra Leone, others, like Moseley and Randall, found themselves transported to the distant penal colony of Botany Bay, in Australia. Epic Journeys of Freedom, written in the best tradition of history from the bottom up, is a fascinating insight into the meaning of liberty; it will change forever the way we think about the American Revolution.
