Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Civil War Soldiers of Edgar County, Illinois: Harrison and William Nay tells the story of two brothers who served in the Civil War and wrote home to their sister from their places of duty. One was young, single, and a volunteer in 1862. The other was forty, married with six children and one on the way, when he was drafted in 1864. The younger was captured in the Battle of Chickamauga and spent nine months in Confederate prisons, finally dying of scurvy at Danville, Virginia. The older was drafted three months after his brother died in 1864 and served in the Army of the Cumberland participating in the Battles of Franklin and Nashville. With the end of the war in April 1865, the older brother was mustered out of the service and returned to his home in time to celebrate the Fourth of July. There he became a large and prosperous farmer until his death in 1898.

Condición: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 450 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The central question for the present generation is whether "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish" in America. On Democracy describes 30 principles fundamental to American government. It also analyzes the challenge that Donald Trump presented to American democracy. The Trump administration proved to be a happy hunting ground for violations of the United States Constitution and of democratic norms. Intended for use as a supplement in American government and civic education classes, the book is an authoritative and clearly written series of essays by a professor who taught political science and constitutional law for thirty-five years. Although meticulous in his attention to detail and accuracy, the author also approaches the subject matter with wry humor and an appreciation for his youthful readers. Begun on Halloween evening in 2019, the book warns that there may be goblins in the land disguised as politicians, or even patriots. The basics are divided among six philosophical, six conditional, and six essential principles, followed by twelve fundamental features essential to the United States Constitution. Philosophical principles include the American commitments to natural rights under natural law, the belief in rationality, individualism, liberty, equality, and justice. Conditional principles conducive to American democracy include a favorable economic climate, a balance of consensus and conflict, the diffusion of political power, an educated citizenry, the two-party system, and the willingness to seek compromise. Principles that are essential to democracy are free, fair, frequent, and meaningful elections, recognition of a loyal opposition, majority rule with minority rights, free speech and debate, the right of the people to be told the truth, and safeguards against arbitrary acts. Additional principles of the United States Constitution include constitutionalism, separation of powers and checks and balances, rule of law, republicanism, federalism and states' rights, national supremacy, judicial review and an independent judiciary, civilian control of the military, no religious tests and freedom of religion, no emoluments other than salary, the right to privacy, and the right to keep and bear arms. The final part includes two essays and a conclusion on the presidential election of 2020. There are seven appendices which include the founding documents of the country. The author, who earned his Ph.D. from the University of Missouri at Columbia, is professor emeritus and former head of the Department of the Social Sciences at Southwestern Oklahoma State University at Weatherford.
