Affairs of West Africa

E. D. Morel

Sinopse

In "Affairs of West Africa," E. D. Morel presents a compelling critique of European imperialism in the early 20th century, specifically focusing on the exploitation and atrocities committed in the Congo and surrounding regions. Written in a journalistic style, Morel's work combines rigorous documentation with impassioned prose, illuminating the grim realities of colonial extraction and its devastating impacts on African societies. The book serves as a crucial primary text within the broader discourse of post-colonial studies and ethics in international relations, emphasizing the moral imperative of accountability for colonial powers. E. D. Morel, a British journalist and social reformer, was profoundly influenced by his early experiences in West Africa, where he witnessed the exploitation of native populations firsthand. A passionate advocate for humanitarian reform, Morel's extensive research and activism culminated in this pivotal work, which not only exposed the injustices of colonial rule but also galvanized public opinion against the exploitation of African resources. His unwavering commitment to social justice and human rights renders him a significant figure in the history of anti-imperial advocacy. This book is a must-read for those interested in colonial histories, social justice, and the ethical ramifications of imperialism. Morel's meticulous research and eloquent advocacy offer readers an incisive perspective on the historical and ongoing consequences of colonial exploitation, making it essential for scholars, students, and concerned citizens alike.

Fort Donelson: The History of...

Jonathan Gianos-Steinberg

In January of 1862, Grant persuaded General Henry “Old Brains” Halleck to allow his men to launch a campaign on the Tennessee River. As soon as Halleck acquiesced, Grant moved against Fort Henry, in close coordination with the naval command of Flag Officer Andrew Hull Foote. The combination of infantry and naval bombardment helped force the capitulation of Fort Henry on February 6, 1862, and the surrender of Fort Henry was followed immediately by an attack on Fort Donelson on the Cumberland River, which earned Grant his famous nickname “Unconditional Surrender”. Grant’s forces enveloped the Confederate garrison at Fort Donelson, which included Confederate generals Simon Buckner, John Floyd, and Gideon Pillow. In one of the most bungled operations of the war, the Confederate generals tried and failed to open an escape route by attacking Grant’s forces on February 15. Although the initial assault was successful, General Pillow inexplicably chose to have his men pull back into their trenches, ostensibly so they could take more supplies before their escape. Instead, they simply lost all the ground they had taken, and the garrison was cut off yet again.
During the early morning hours of February 16, the garrison’s generals held one of the Civil War’s most famous councils of war. Over the protestations of cavalry officer Nathan Bedford Forrest, who insisted the garrison could escape, the three generals agreed to surrender their army, but none of them wanted to be the fall guy. General Floyd was worried that the Union might try him for treason if he was taken captive, so he turned command of the garrison over to General Pillow and escaped with two of his regiments. Pillow had the same concern and turned command over to General Buckner before escaping. Despite all of these successful escapes, General Buckner decided to surrender to Grant, and when asked for terms of surrender, Grant replied, “No terms except an unconditional and immediate surrender.”
