Sinopse

In "A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents: John Quincy Adams," readers are presented with a meticulously curated collection of primary documents that illuminate the intricate political landscape of the early 19th century. This compilation encompasses Adams'Äô significant speeches, letters, and official documents that reflect his staunch advocacy for civil liberties, education, and foreign affairs. Literary in style yet rich in historical context, the work offers deep insights into Adams' philosophies and the evolving American identity during a tumultuous period marked by burgeoning nationalism and ideological conflict. John Quincy Adams, the sixth President of the United States, was not only a politician but also a diplomat, a Senator, and a fervent abolitionist.

His diverse experiences, including his tenure as Minister to the Netherlands and Russia, informed his complex views on governance and human rights, making this compilation essential for understanding both his presidency and the era. This collection is highly recommended for students of American history and politics, as well as general readers seeking to grasp the foundational ideas that shaped the nation. It invites exploration into the mind of one of America'Äôs most dedicated public servants, illuminating the challenges and triumphs that marked the presidency of John Quincy Adams.

    Long before their country officially joined the war, American aid workers were active in rescue efforts across Europe. Two such Americans were Martha and Waitstill Sharp, who were originally sent to Prague as part of a relief effort but turned immediately to helping Jews and dissidents after the 1939 invasion by Germany. 
     
     
     
    They were not the only ones. Renowned historian Debórah Dwork follows the story of rescue workers in five major cities as the refugee crisis expanded to Vilna, Shanghai, Marseille, and Lisbon. Followed by Nazi agents, spiriting people across borders, they learned secrecy. 
     
     
     
    Others negotiated with government representatives, like Laura Margolis, who worked with the Japanese, to get enough food and warm shelter for the refugees in Shanghai. Yet, the women also often faced lack of support from their agencies; if part of a couple, they fought to get paid even at a low salary despite working as long and hard as their husbands. 
     
     
     
    Moving and revelatory, Saints and Liars illuminates the unpredictable circumstances with which these aid workers contended, while revealing the moral questions they encountered and the devastating decisions they had to make.

    Even though the colonists eventually broke free from Great Britain, plenty of British customs and practices affected the fledgling United States, particularly when it came to law. While the most notable ramifications can be found in the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, which forbids illegal searches and seizures by the government, the extensive legal background from Britain impacted how American lawyers and courts operated as well, even as legal codes differed considerably from colony to colony because of their charters. The local codes had to broadly conform with the current laws in England, and the early equivalent of the Colonial Office examined colonial laws if someone sued. Laws found to be inconsistent with English practice were sometimes voided.  
    	On paper, the New England codes were extremely harsh, but in practice, they were often mildly enforced, if enforced at all. One law on the books was that a son could be executed if he cursed his parents, but no one was ever executed for it. Many crimes were offenses against public decorum, but there was a wide range of things considered misbehaviors. Punishments varied but tended to be either financial or public, with humiliation and shame being a large part of it.  
    	Conversely, while the New Englanders tended to base their codes on the Old Testament, in Pennsylvania, the Quaker establishment sought to reform criminals rather than punish them. Consequently, they probably had the least number of capital offenses of any place in the English-speaking world. Furthermore, over time, the list of what constituted crimes changed somewhat, as did the emphasis. The fast growth of populations brought large numbers of immigrants and indentured servants and a more complex society. Diversity increased, and the rise of slavery concentrated in (but was not limited to) the Southern colonies, bringing with it codes of law to control slaves and deal with offenses committed by them.

    The history of women in medieval Wales before the English conquest of 1282 is one largely shrouded in mystery. This misfortune touches even the most well-known royal woman of the time, Joan of England (d. 1237), the wife of Llywelyn the Great of Gwynedd, illegitimate daughter of King John and half-sister to Henry III. With evidence of her hand in thwarting a full scale English invasion of Wales to a notorious scandal that ended with the public execution of her supposed lover by her husband and her own imprisonment, Joan's is a known, but little-told or understood story defined by family turmoil, divided loyalties and political intrigue. 
     
     
     
    From the time her hand was promised in marriage as the result of the first Welsh-English alliance in 1201 to the end of her life, Joan's place in the political wranglings between England and the Welsh kingdom of Gwynedd was a fundamental one. This first-ever account of Siwan, as she was known to the Welsh, interweaves the details of her life and relationships with a gendered re-assessment of Anglo-Welsh politics by highlighting her involvement in affairs, discussing events in which she may well have been involved but have gone unrecorded and her overall deployment of royal female agency.
