Summary: An important book of epic scope on America's first racially integrated. religiously inspired movement for change. The civil war brought to a climax the country's bitter division. But the beginnings of slavery's denouement can be traced to a courageous band of ordinary Americans. black and white. slave and free. who joined forces to create what would come to be known as the Underground Railroad. a movement that occupies as romantic a place in the nation's imagination as the Lewis and Clark expedition. The true story of the Underground Railroad is much more morally complex and politically divisive than even the myths suggest. Against a backdrop of the country's westward expansion arose a fierce clash of values that was nothing less than a war for the country's soul. Not since the American Revolution had the country engaged in an act of such vast and profound civil disobedience that not only challenged prevailing mores but also subverted federal law. Bound for Canaan tells the stories of men and women like David Ruggles. who invented the black underground in New York City; bold Quakers like Isaac Hopper and Levi Coffin. who risked their lives to build the Underground Railroad; and the inimitable Harriet Tubman. Interweaving thrilling personal stories with the politics of slavery and abolition. Bound for Canaan shows how the Underground Railroad gave birth to this country's first racially integrated. religiously inspired movement for social change.ISBN: 0060524308.

Klan War: Ulysses S. Grant and the Battle to Save Reconstruction

New York, Alfred A. Knopf, 2023. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: Large 8vo 9" - 10. Superior copy, gift-quality condition, inside and out, no discernible wear, bright and shiny dust jacket, not price-clipped. From the publisher's blurb, "A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR A stunning history of the first national anti-terrorist campaign waged on American soilwhen Ulysses S. Grant wielded the power of the federal government to dismantle the KKKThe Ku Klux Klan, which celebrated historian Fergus Bordewich defines as the first organized terrorist movement in American history, rose from the ashes of the Civil War. At its peak in the early 1870s, the Klan boasted many tens of thousands of members, no small number of them landowners, lawmen, doctors, journalists, and churchmen, as well as future governors and congressmen. And their mission was to obliterate the muscular democratic power of newly emancipated Black Americans and their white allies, often by the most horrifying means imaginable.To repel the virulent tidal wave of violence, President Ulysses S. Grant waged a two-term battle against both armed Southern enemies of Reconstruction and Northern politicians seduced by visions of postwar conciliation, testing the limits of the federal government in determining the extent of states rights. In this book, Bordewich transports us to the front lines, in the hamlets of the former Confederate States and in the marble corridors of Congress, reviving an unsung generation of grassroots Black leaders and key figures such as crusading Missouri senator Carl Schurz, who sacrificed the rights of Black Americans in the name of political reform, and the ruthless former slave trader and Klan leader Nathan Bedford Forrest. Klan War is a bold and bracing record of Americas past that reveals the bloody, Reconstruction-era roots of present-day battles to protect the ballot box and stamp out resurgent white supremacist ideologies." Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xix [2], 4-447 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Fine/Fine,
