  Denmark Vesey's Bible - The...

  On July 2, 1822, Denmark Vesey, a formerly enslaved man, was hanged in Charleston, South Carolina. He was convicted of plotting what might have been the largest insurrection against slaveholders in US history. Witnesses claimed that Vesey appealed to numerous biblical texts to promote and justify the revolt. While sentencing Vesey to death, Lionel Henry Kennedy, a magistrate at the trial, accused Vesey not only of treason but also of "attempting to pervert the sacred words of God into a sanction for crimes of the blackest hue." Denmark Vesey's Bible tells the story of this momentous trial, examining the role of scriptural interpretation in the deadly struggle against American white supremacy and its brutal enforcement. 
   
   
   
  Jeremy Schipper brings the trial and its aftermath vividly to life, drawing on court documents, personal letters, sermons, speeches, and editorials. He shows how Vesey compared people of African descent with enslaved Israelites in the Bible, while his accusers portrayed plantation owners as benevolent biblical patriarchs responsible for providing religious instruction to the enslaved. What emerges is an explosive portrait of an antebellum city in the grips of racial terror, violence, and contending visions of biblical truth.

  Logical Diversions and...

  This book consists of the following two titles: 
  - The Red Herring Fallacy: The Red Herring Fallacy is a common and effective tool for diverting attention from the main issue in an argument. It occurs when irrelevant information or topics are introduced into a discussion, leading the audience away from the core subject. The name "red herring" originates from an old English practice of using smoked fish to distract hunting dogs from a scent trail. In the context of logical reasoning, the concept is metaphorical, describing tactics that mislead or confuse. At its heart, the Red Herring Fallacy exploits our natural tendencies to become sidetracked by emotionally charged, intriguing, or seemingly relevant details. The distraction can take many forms: an unrelated anecdote, a tangential issue, or even an outright falsehood designed to provoke. These diversions can be deliberate, crafted to manipulate the audience, or unintentional, stemming from poor argumentation or misunderstanding. Regardless of intent, the result is the same—a shift in focus away from the actual matter at hand. 
  - The Straw Man Fallacy: The Straw Man Fallacy is one of the most pervasive forms of logical misrepresentation, often employed to simplify complex arguments for easier refutation. At its core, this fallacy involves constructing a distorted or exaggerated version of an opponent's position, subsequently attacking this weakened argument instead of addressing the original point. The technique, though logically flawed, can be compelling, as it plays on cognitive biases and simplifies discourse in ways that resonate with audiences.
