Summary

This insightful 1925 book traces the evolution of what was called the "Negro Question" in America, specifically examining the role of South Carolina in shaping early policies and attitudes. It analyzes key debates and votes in the state legislature and Constitutional Convention regarding slavery and the slave trade. The book highlights influential figures like Calhoun who pushed the state towards staunch pro-slavery views, as well as dissenting voices warning of the dangers of rapid expansion of slave populations.
 
Though dense with detail at times, the book offers an illuminating window into the political and economic machinations that ensnared South Carolina and the South in systems of bondage. Overall it provides a thought-provoking perspective on the complex forces driving America's gravest moral failure.
Available since: 12/30/2023.

    The year is 1806 – a baby boy has just been born in a small English coastal town. This child was born into a world without the lightbulb, without cars; a world in which only two years previously mankind had discovered that steam could be used to power a locomotive engine. This was a time of rapid change – the industrial revolution was beginning and one of the world's greatest and most inventive minds was about to make history. 
     
    He would become one of the leading figures of this new technological age, helping to bring the world out of the darkness of the previous centuries, and into a new era of progress. 
     
    He was a visionary – an engineer and inventor of unparalleled ingenuity and ambition. With his railway projects he would conquer rivers, mountains, and vast stretches of land. His oceanic projects would produce the largest and most powerful ships the world had ever seen – helping thousands of people to bridge the continents and bringing mankind closer than ever before. His architectural projects would serve as testament to the ingenuity of mankind and would stamp his legacy upon the landscape. But his legacy endures in more than his constructions and inventions – his genius would come to inspire whole generations of new engineers, architects, and scientists – his legacy lives on all around us. 
     
    So, join us now, as we trace his story from its very beginnings – join us on an exploration of the life and times of Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

    On the ground, in the air, and behind the lines, grunts made life-and-death decisions every day—and endured the worst stress of their young lives. 
     
     
     
    It was the tumultuous year 1968, and Robert Tonsetic was Rifle Company commander of the 4th Battalion, 12th Infantry in Vietnam. He took over a group of grunts demoralized by defeat but determined to get even. Through the legendary Tet and May Offensives, he led, trained, and risked his life with these brave men, and this is the thrilling, brutal, and honest story of his tour of duty. Tonsetic tells of leading a seriously undermanned ready-reaction force into a fierce, three-day battle with a ruthless enemy battalion; conducting surreal night airmobile assaults and treks through fetid, pitch-black jungles; and relieving combat stress by fishing with hand grenades and taking secret joyrides in Hueys. 
     
     
     
    During that fateful year, as unrest erupted at home and politicians groped for a way out of the war, Tonsetic and his men did their job as soldiers and earned the title "Warriors."
