The Story of the Great Republic (Classicus Edition)

H. A. Guerber

Summary

H.A. Guerber’s The Story of the Great Republic offers a clear, engaging, and human-centered account of American history from the founding of the United States to the end of the 19th century. Written in a style accessible to younger readers and general audiences alike, Guerber presents the events, people, and ideals that shaped the early American republic with warmth and narrative ease. Her storytelling invites readers to see the past not as a list of dates, but as a living story filled with triumphs, struggles, and the constant effort to build a more unified nation.     Beginning with the framing of the Constitution and the presidency of George Washington, the book follows the growth of the United States through war, territorial expansion, social change, and civil conflict. Guerber recounts major events such as the War of 1812, the Louisiana Purchase, the Civil War, and Reconstruction, while introducing readers to the influential figures—from presidents and generals to reformers and everyday citizens—who helped define the American experience.     More than a historical summary, The Story of the Great Republic reflects on the principles that guided the country’s development: liberty, perseverance, justice, and unity. Guerber’s emphasis on character, citizenship, and moral purpose makes this a lasting introduction to American history, ideal for students, homeschoolers, and anyone seeking to understand the foundations of the United States in an approachable, story-driven way.

Eye Movement Desensitization and...

Vivian Westlake

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach that has garnered widespread recognition for its effectiveness in treating trauma, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR is founded on the concept that distressing memories can become “stuck” in the brain, leading to emotional and psychological difficulties. By using bilateral stimulation—usually in the form of guided eye movements—EMDR aims to facilitate the processing of these memories, enabling individuals to integrate them in a way that reduces emotional distress.
At its core, EMDR is grounded in the understanding that trauma can impair the brain's natural processing abilities. When a traumatic event occurs, the brain’s memory systems may not fully encode the memory, leaving the experience fragmented and unresolved. As a result, individuals may experience intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, and heightened emotional responses associated with the unresolved trauma. EMDR aims to "unstick" these memories and allow the brain to reprocess them, turning them from vivid, emotionally charged experiences into less distressing memories that can be stored in a more adaptive manner.
The key to EMDR's effectiveness lies in its use of bilateral stimulation. During the therapy session, the client follows the therapist’s fingers or another form of rhythmic bilateral stimulation (e.g., auditory tones or tactile taps) while focusing on distressing memories. This process is thought to mimic the natural mechanisms the brain uses during REM sleep, a stage associated with memory consolidation and emotional processing. By engaging both hemispheres of the brain in this way, EMDR helps clients process traumatic memories, alleviating their emotional charge and reducing their impact on daily life.

Biafra - History and Atrocities...

Kelly Mass

Biafra, known officially as the Republic of Biafra, emerged as a separatist state in West Africa, enduring from May 1967 to January 1970 when it seceded from Nigeria. 
Its territory encompassed the former eastern region of Nigeria, predominantly inhabited by the Igbo population, now divided into the present south-south and southeastern regions of Africa. Founded by Igbo nationalists, Biafra arose in response to a series of ethnic hostilities that erupted immediately after Nigeria gained independence in 1960, culminating in the 1966 massacres of Igbos and other southern ethnic groups residing in northern Nigeria. Following Biafra's declaration of independence in 1967, Nigeria's military initiated an attack on the country, sparking the Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Nigerian-Biafran War. 
Gabon, Haiti, the Ivory Coast, Tanzania, and Zambia have all officially acknowledged Biafra. France, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Rhodesia, South Africa, and the Vatican City were among the countries that withheld recognition from Biafra but provided support and assistance. 
Biafra received aid from non-state entities such as Joint Church Aid, foreign mercenaries, the Holy Ghost Fathers of Ireland, and Caritas International under their guidance, as well as the United States Catholic Relief Services. In response to the suffering, Médecins Sans Frontières was founded.
