Clarissa "Clara” Barton was a shy girl who grew up to become a teacher, nurse, and humanitarian. At a time when few women worked outside the home, she became the first woman to hold a government job, as a patent clerk in Washington, DC. In 1864, she was appointed "lady in charge” of the hospitals at the front lines of the Union Army, where she became known as the "Angel of the Battlefield.” Clara Barton built a career helping others. She went on to found the American Red Cross, one of her greatest accomplishments, and one of the most recognized organizations in the world.

Mensajes Secretos y Profecias escondidas de la Santisima Virgen MariaDesde 1986 al presente, el Vaticano ha mantenido el mismo mensaje traído desde el Cielo por diferentes mensajeros a través de largas distancias y continentes. Este mensaje es un eco de las graves amonestaciones y llamadas a la humanidad para que se conviertan y encuentren refugio a través del lenguaje de la verdad , el cual amenaza a la paz en el mundo.Actualmente, en el 2024, el mensaje de La Virgen de la Salette, La Fraudais, Tilly, Fátima, Garabandal, Akita y Medjugorje, y sus secretos, revelan un significado de divina importancia, al igual que las prevenciones entregadas por la santísima Virgen Maria que advierte sobre un catastrófico desastre global que ahora es inminente. El temor de la iglesia al asustar a las masas, la falta de acción y la decisión del silencio romano - fundado más en miedo que en cuidado - ha llevado a millones creyentes a la oscura ignorancia, y esto ha conllevado a la falta de conversión, oraciones, y intersección por la paz.Este libro es una propuesta para relevar la luz, y cuestionar a la humanidad para reaccionar a la llamada de advertencia de nuestra amada madre quien compasivamente busca la salvación de sus hijos.

Historian Nora Titone takes a fresh look at the strange and startling history of the Booth brothers, answering the question of why one became the nineteenth-century’s brightest, most beloved star, and the other became the most notorious assassin in American history.The scene of John Wilkes Booth shooting Abraham Lincoln in Ford’s Theatre is among the most vivid and indelible images in American history. The literal story of what happened on April 14, 1865, is familiar: Lincoln was killed by John Wilkes Booth, a lunatic enraged by the Union victory and the prospect of black citizenship. Yet who Booth really was—besides a killer—is less well known. The magnitude of his crime has obscured for generations a startling personal story that was integral to his motivation. My Thoughts Be Bloody, a sweeping family saga, revives an extraordinary figure whose name has been missing, until now, from the story of President Lincoln’s death. Edwin Booth, John Wilkes’s older brother by four years, was in his day the biggest star of the American stage. Without an account of Edwin Booth, author Nora Titone argues, the real story of Lincoln’s assassin has never been told. Using an array of private letters, diaries, and reminiscences of the Booth family, Titone has uncovered a hidden history that reveals the reasons why John Wilkes Booth became this country’s most notorious assassin. The details of the conspiracy to kill Lincoln have been well documented elsewhere. My Thoughts Be Bloody tells a new story, one that explains for the first time why Lincoln’s assassin decided to conspire against the president in the first place, and sets that decision in the context of a bitterly divided family—and nation. By the end of this riveting journey, readers will see Abraham Lincoln’s death less as the result of the war between the North and South and more as the climax of a dark struggle between two brothers who never wore the uniform of soldiers, except on stage.

What does it take to be recognized as a historian? A PhD, of course, and a lifetime spent reading and researching through piles of boring books; then, publication of another boring book. And "we the People" are expected to take everything the historian writes and utters and accept it as "gospel" without question. But what about the facts which historians ignore or those which don't fit their own "personal opinion"? WHY LINCOLN CHOSE WAR is not boring. And it contains many, many facts which you were never taught in any government school. For instance, why did the perpetrators of American slavery, the New Englanders, become so vehemently opposed to the institution and foster a "hate campaign" against the entire South which continues to this day? Why was a new Constitution which legalized slavery and the slave trade ratified by eight "free states" which claimed to abhor the institution? How did Major Anderson and his men receive food supplies at Fort Moultrie and Fort Sumter? Why was their alleged "starvation" and lack of supplies not made known until just before April 12, 1861? Why was a war fleet dispatched to Charleston to deliver "biscuit and pork" when an unarmed supply ship could have sufficed? Read this book and learn for yourself what public schools never teach in history class. Determine for yourself "why Lincoln chose war". And it was a choice.

Peter Seaborg Award The heroics of black Union soldiers in the Civil War have been justly celebrated, but their postwar lives largely neglected. Donald Shaffer's illuminating study shines a bright light on this previously obscure part of African American history, revealing for the first time black veterans' valiant but often frustrating efforts to secure true autonomy and equality as civilians.After the Glory shows how black veterans' experiences as soldiers provided them for the first time with a sense of manliness that shaped not only their own lives but also their contributions to the African American community. Shaffer makes clear, however, that their postwar pursuit of citizenship and a dignified manhood was never very easy for black veterans, their triumphs frequently neither complete nor lasting Shaffer chronicles the postwar transition of black veterans from the Union army, as well as their subsequent life patterns, political involvement, family and marital life, experiences with social welfare, comradeship with other veterans, and memories of the war itself. He draws on such sources as Civil War pension records to fashion a collective biography-a social history of both ordinary and notable lives-resurrecting the words and memories of many black veterans to provide an intimate view of their lives and struggles.Like other African Americans from many walks of life, black veterans fought fiercely against disenfranchisement and Jim Crow and were better equipped to do so than most other African Americans. They carried a sense of pride instilled by their military service that made them better prepared to confront racism and discrimination and more respected in their own communities. As Shaffer reveals, they also had nearly equal access to military pensions, financial resources available to few other blacks, and even found acceptance among white Union veterans in the Grand Army of the Republic fraternity.After the Glory is not merely another tale of black struggles in a racist America; it is the story of how a select group of African Americans led a quest for manhood--and often found it within themselves when no one else would give it to them.

FINALIST FOR THE 2023 MAVIS GALLANT PRIZE FOR NON-FICTIONA riveting account of the years, months and days leading up to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, and the unexpected ways Canadians were involved in every aspect of the American Civil War.Canadians have long taken pride in being on the “good side” of the American Civil War, serving as a haven for 30,000 escaped slaves on the Underground Railroad. But dwelling in history's shadow is the much darker role Canada played in supporting the slave South and in fomenting the many plots against Lincoln.     The North Star weaves together the different strands of several Canadians and a handful of Confederate agents in Canada as they all made their separate, fateful journeys into history.    The book shines a spotlight on the stories of such intrepid figures as Anderson Abbott, Canada’s first Black doctor, who joined the Union Army; Emma Edmonds, the New Brunswick woman who disguised herself as a man to enlist as a Union nurse; and Edward P. Doherty, the Quebec man who led the hunt to track down Lincoln’s assassin, John Wilkes Booth.    At the same time, the Canadian political and business elite were aiding the slave states. Toronto aristocrat George Taylor Denison III bankrolled Confederate operations and opened his mansion to their agents. The Catholic Church helped one of Booth’s accused accomplices hide out for months in the Quebec countryside. A leading financier in Montreal let Confederates launder money through his bank.       Sher creates vivid portraits of places we thought we knew. Montreal was a sort of nineteenth-century Casablanca of the North: a hub for assassins, money-men, mercenaries and soldiers on the run. Toronto was a headquarters for Confederate plotters and gun-runners. The two largest hotels in the country became nests of Confederate spies.     Meticulously researched and richly illustrated, The North Star is a sweeping tale that makes long-ago events leap off the page with a relevance to the present day.

Just as the Thirteenth West Virginia Infantry Volunteers had played an integral part in the defeat and containment of Confederate partisans in the Kanawha Valley in 1862 and '63, keeping the grim-visaged scenes of bitter civil war from her neighbors in States to her north, so in the Shenandoah Valley Campaign of 1864, the Thirteenth rendered important service as part of the old Kanawha Division in the fierce fighting of that campaign which, it may be fairly said, decided the fate of the American Civil War itself. This volume presents their experiences marching and fighting in July 1864, in the Great Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, where the military and political stakes were very high indeed.

Born in Connecticut in 1811, Harriet Beecher Stowe was an abolitionist, author, and playwright. Slavery was a major industry in the American South, and Stowe worked with the Underground Railroad to help escaped slaves head north towards freedom. The publication of her book, Uncle Tom's Cabin, a scathing anti-slavery novel, fanned the flames that started the Civil War. The book's emotional portrayal of the impact of slavery captured the nation's attention. A best-seller in its time, Uncle Tom's Cabin sealed Harriet Beecher Stowe's reputations as one of the most influential anti-slavery voices in US history.

At a meeting of the Rochester Ladies¿ Anti-Slavery Society on July 5th, 1852, Frederick Douglass, a writer and orator who escaped from slavery, gave a speech that would go down in history. What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July? is an impassioned cry for freedom, exposing the emptiness of democratic ideals in a nation built by slaves.

Matthew C. Yow was a husband, father, and farmer in Moore County, North Carolina when the Civil War began in1861. A year later he left his wife, Catharine, and their young children behind as he reluctantly joined the Confederate ranks. These letters, written to his "dear wife and little children" tell his story as a private in Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Matthew's declarations of homesickness and frustration about the issues of his day are heard loud and clear, interspersed between the telling of battles and camp life.These letters also inform us about the hardships Catharine and the children suffered on the home front; the farm work was overwhelming, some neighbors were unruly, and bands of deserters and other groups caused mischief. Matthew did his best to encourage his wife by giving advice through the mail. Matthew fought from the Seven Days Battles in 1862 until he was mortally wounded at the North Anna River in 1864 during the Overland Campaign. In letters home, Matthew expressed his hope to be remembered by those he loved. The author hopes readers will remember him for who he was, an ordinary family man caught up in the political and social turmoil of his day, during America's most tragic time.This book contains 24 images including letters, photographs, and a map, to help tell Matthew's story. There is an index that contains more than 200 names of Matthew's family members, neighbors, and comrades. These people are the ancestors of many who presently live in Moore County, North Carolina, and the surrounding area. Family historians who have descended from Matthew and Catharine and others in the book will treasure these letters and the story they tell. Civil War history buffs who study the 48th North Carolina Infantry Regiment or Cooke's brigade will find valuable information to understand those units better. By studying another ordinary soldier in the Army of Northern Virginia, historians may find more first-person material to support what is already documented. These letters, so delightfully written by a man to his wife and children, help us to feel empathy for the families of the Civil War era.
