Plantation Life in the Deep South

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In the sprawling plantations of the Deep South, a world of wealth and power existed alongside unimaginable hardship and suffering. In this captivating book, we take a journey through the lives of those who lived and worked on these plantations, from the wealthy planters to the enslaved people who toiled in the fields.

We will explore the economic, social, and political forces that shaped plantation life, and we will examine the legacy of this system that continues to resonate today. Through the stories of those who lived and worked on plantations, we will gain a deeper understanding of this complex and controversial period in American history.

The plantation system was a major part of the Southern economy, and it played a significant role in the outbreak of the American Civil War. The war was fought over the issue of slavery, and it resulted in the abolition of slavery in the United States. However, the legacy of slavery and the plantation system continues to shape American society today.

This book offers a comprehensive look at plantation life in the Deep South. We will learn about the daily lives of planters and enslaved people, the crops that were grown on plantations, and the economic and political forces that shaped the plantation system. We will also explore the culture of the plantation, including the music, food, and religion of those who lived and worked there.

Through the stories of those who lived and worked on plantations, we will gain a deeper understanding of this complex and controversial period in American history. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the American South, the history of slavery, or the legacy of racism in the United States.

A Rare Recording of President...

Calvin Coolidge

Calvin Coolidge (July 4, 1872 - January 5, 1933) was the 30th president of the United States from 1923 to 1929. Born in Vermont, Coolidge was a Republican lawyer from New England who climbed up the ladder of Massachusetts state politics, becoming the state's 48th governor. His response to the Boston Police Strike of 1919 thrust him into the national spotlight as a man of decisive action. Coolidge was elected the country's 29th vice president the next year, succeeding the presidency upon the sudden death of President Warren G. Harding in 1923. Elected in his own right in 1924, Coolidge gained a reputation as a small-government conservative distinguished by a taciturn personality and dry sense of humor, receiving the nickname "Silent Cal".

Inconvenient Apocalypse An -...

Wes Jackson, Robert Jensen

For decades, our world has understood that we are on the brink of an apocalypse—yet the only implemented solutions have been small and convenient, feel-good initiatives that avoid unpleasant truths about the root causes of our impending disaster. Wes Jackson and Robert Jensen argue that we must reconsider the origins of the consumption crisis and the challenges we face in creating a survivable future. Longstanding assumptions about economic growth and technological progress—the dream of a future of endless bounty—are no longer tenable. The climate crisis has already progressed beyond nondisruptive solutions. The end result will be apocalyptic; the only question now is how bad it will be. 
 
 
 
Jackson and Jensen examine how geographic determinism shaped our past and led to today's social injustice, consumerist culture, and high-energy/high-technology dystopias. The solution requires addressing today's systemic failures and confronting human nature by recognizing the limits of our ability to predict how those failures will play out over time. Though these massive challenges can feel overwhelming, the coauthors weave a secular reading of theological concepts—the prophetic, the apocalyptic, a saving remnant, and grace—to chart a realistic path for humanity not only to survive our apocalypse but also to emerge with a renewed appreciation of the larger living world.

The Mastery Of Destiny - The...

James Allen

Of the many profound works by James Allen, the pioneering voice of the New Thought movement, The Mastery of Destiny stands as a powerful and practical guide to the pinnacle of self-creation. While his timeless classic, As a Man Thinketh, laid the foundation by revealing the formative power of thought, this volume builds upon it, charting the path to conscious living and absolute self-command. Written as a companion piece to The Life Triumphant , it delves into the principles of self-control, willpower, and purpose, arguing that we are not mere bystanders to fate but active architects of our destiny. Allen’s philosophy, distilled from a life marked by hardship and contemplation , asserts that by mastering our inner world, we can transform our outer circumstances, turning suffering into triumph and chaos into order. 
Here, Allen moves from principle to practice, meticulously detailing how the laws of mind and character operate in everyday life. He argues with compelling conviction that destiny is not a matter of chance, but a matter of choice—the direct result of deeds and habits willingly repeated until they become the iron girders of our fate. This is the science of self-determination, a call to harness the divine forces of will and purpose to rise above circumstance and forge a life of profound accomplishment and peace. 
Positioned between the foundational insights of As a Man Thinketh and the structural wisdom of Eight Pillars of Prosperity, The Mastery of Destiny is the essential manual for the application of Allen's philosophy. It is for those who understand the power of thought and are now ready to undertake the greatest of all journeys: the mastery of oneself.

Difficult - Mothering...

Judith R. Smith

Told from the perspective of mothers who've lived it, Difficult focuses on mothering challenging adult children. 
 
 
 
Difficult brings to life the conflicts that arise for mothers who are confronted with the unexpected and burdensome dependencies of their adult children associated with mental illness, substance use, or chronic unemployment. Through real stories of mothers and their challenging adult children, this book offers accessible, provocative, and, at times, shocking illustrations of the excruciating maternal dilemma: Which takes precedence—the needs of the mother or of the distressed adult child? Difficult addresses a family situation which too many keep secret. The book allows listeners to see that they are not alone. 
 
 
 
Judith Smith speaks empathically to parents, acknowledging and illuminating the embarrassment, shame, and helplessness that women can feel when their adult children's problems puncture their own feelings of self-worth. In the absence of sufficient supports and affordable housing for persons with mental illness or substance misuse disorder, mothers feel that they have no choice—"if not me, then who?" Unpaid and unrecognized maternal caregiving work continues to limit women's quality of life, even into their later years. Smith addresses this as a societal issue which requires structural solutions.
