  This bundle offers a compelling exploration of the complex and often turbulent history of colonial conflict in the Southern Hemisphere. This three-part volume dives into the significant struggles that shaped the histories of Australia and New Zealand, shedding light on the fierce resistance of Indigenous communities against colonial powers.  
  The first section, Australia’s War, delves into the violent clashes between European settlers and Aboriginal Australians, exploring the devastating impact of colonization, frontier warfare, and the long-lasting consequences on Indigenous communities.  
  The second section, New Zealand Wars, examines the series of 19th-century armed conflicts between the British Crown and various Māori iwi (tribes), driven by land disputes, cultural resistance, and the fight for sovereignty.  
  The final section, The Māori and the Pākehā, offers a broader understanding of the cultural and political dynamics between the Māori and the European settlers (Pākehā), exploring themes of adaptation, resistance, and the ongoing struggle for recognition and rights. Together, these three perspectives provide a powerful and nuanced account of colonial conflict and Indigenous resilience, making this book essential reading for those seeking to understand the legacy of colonization in Australia and New Zealand.

  Andrew Jackson - Old Hickory in...

  Although Andrew Jackson gained notoriety as a rakish young man, religion's influence on him ebbed and flowed as he established himself as part of the South's planter elite. With his devout wife, Rachel, he attended church and knew his Bible and religious subjects well, and while his determination to preserve his reputation involved him in numerous personal conflicts—including a duel that led to his killing a rival—he blended the principles of the antebellum South's honor-based culture with his belief in a traditional, orthodox version of Christianity. Likewise, he easily reconciled his religion with his ownership of slaves and his advocacy of Native American removal, and while he equated his enemies with the forces of evil, he always attributed his military and political accomplishments to the blessings of Providence. As he aged, Jackson became more devout, but he never experienced a dramatic conversion—contradicting the expectations of the leading revivalists of his era's Second Great Awakening—and he consistently promoted religious liberty and separation of church and state as core republican principles. Ultimately, Jackson's faith reflected a version of Christianity widespread in his era, and his frequent appeals for divine guidance and for God's blessing on his nation further encouraged the development of an American civil religion.
