Probing at the very core of the American political consciousness from the colonial period through the early republic, this thorough and unprecedented study by Larry E. Tise suggests that American proslavery thought, far from being an invention of the slave-holding South, had its origins in the crucible of conservative New England. Proslavery rhetoric, Tise shows, came late to the South, where the heritage of Jefferson's ideals was strongest and where, as late as the 1830s, most slaveowners would have agreed that slavery was an evil to be removed as soon as possible. When the rhetoric did come, it was often in the portmanteau of ministers who moved south from New England, and it arrived as part of a full-blown ideology. When the South finally did embrace proslavery, the region was placed not at the periphery of American thought but in its mainstream.

New Voyages to North Carolina - Reinterpreting North Carolina History (Hardcover): Larry E. Tise, Jeffrey J. Crow New Voyages to North Carolina - Reinterpreting North Carolina History (Hardcover)
Larry E. Tise, Jeffrey J. Crow
R2,415 Discovery Miles 24 150 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

New Voyages to North Carolina offers a bold new approach for understanding and telling North Carolina's history. Recognizing the need for such a fresh approach and reflecting a generation of recent scholarship, eighteen distinguished authors have sculpted a broad, inclusive narrative of the state's evolution over more than four centuries. The volume provides new lenses and provocative possibilities for reimagining the state's past. Transcending traditional markers of wars and elections, the contributors map out a new chronology encompassing geological realities; the unappreciated presence of Indians, blacks, and women; religious and cultural influences; and abiding preferences for industrial development within the limits of ""progressive"" politics. While challenging traditional story lines, the authors frame a candid tale of the state's development. Contributors include Dorothea V. Ames, Karl E. Campbell, James C. Cobb, Peter A. Coclanis, Stephen Feeley, Jerry Gershenhorn, Glenda Elizabeth Gilmore, Patrick Huber, Charles F. Irons, David Moore, Michael Leroy Oberg, Stanley R. Riggs, Richard D. Starnes, Carole Watterson Troxler, Bradford J. Wood, and Karin Zipf.

Writing North Carolina History (Paperback, New edition): Larry E. Tise Writing North Carolina History (Paperback, New edition)
Larry E. Tise
R1,375 Discovery Miles 13 750 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Writing North Carolina History is the first book to assess fully the historical literature of North Carolina. It combines the talents and insights of eight noted scholars of state and southern history: William S. Powell, Alan D. Watson, Robert M. Calhoon, Harry L. Watson, Sarah M. Lemmon, and H. G. Jones. Their essays are arranged in chronological order from the founding of the first English colony in North America in 1585 to the present. Traditionally North Carolina has not received the same scholarly attention as Virginia and South Carolina, despite the excellent resources available on Tar Heel history. This study, derived from a symposium sponsored by the North Carolina Division of Archives and History in 1977, asks questions and describes methodologies needed to redress past neglect. Besides providing a comprehensive evaluation of what has been written about North Carolina, the essayists offer perspectives on how historians have interpreted the state's history and what directions future historians need to take. Particularly important, the book provides a bibliography and suggests opportunities for future historical investigation by discussing topics, themes, and source materials that remain untapped or underused. North Carolina's unique and colorful culture, folklore, geography, politics, and growth demand new and creative historical analysis. Collectively the authors and editors of Writing North Carolina History offer a welcome, necessary guide to the study of Tar Heel history.
