This book was released on 2019-09-30. Tricentennial available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. It is 2076. As the nation prepares to celebrate its tricentennial, it is a much different country than it was at the beginning of the century. After years of domestic and international struggle, Americans have given up their freedoms to the Equality Party. The Party has radically changed American society by redistributing wealth, attacking religion, and forcing ordinary Americans to conform to policies that seek to create economic, social, and political equality. Those who do not conform face reeducation, imprisonment, or worse. In an epic struggle to regain the lost freedoms Americans once enjoyed, The Underground fights back. Two unlikely allies, a middle-aged Party bureaucrat, and a young woman who has been fighting against The Party her entire life, join forces to help return the United States to democratic government. Will they survive? Will the nation that changed the world ever become what it once was?

This book was released on 2018-10-04. San Antonio available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This is the first general history of San Antonio, Texas, the seventh largest city in the nation. Its past is complex and ranges across 300 years, from the community’s origins as a tiny Spanish frontier town to its contemporary status as a vital American mega-city. Site of some of the most violent struggles between warring empires and people—historians believe San Antonio may be the most fought-over city in U.S. history—it is perhaps most celebrated for the iconic 1836 Battle of the Alamo. The city is also home to four beautifully restored Spanish missions, which in 2015 UNESCO designated a World Heritage Site and have become integral to San Antonio’s robust tourist economy along with the fabled River Walk. This study weaves together a series of environmental, social, political, and cultural pressures that have shaped life in the Alamo City over the last three centuries. Residents have long fought to protect and utilize water and other resources even as they have struggled to achieve equal rights and build a more open and democratic society. Activists from all sectors of this multicultural city have believed deeply in its promise even though they have had to push hard to secure and expand its potential. Their efforts were every bit as intense in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as they have been in the twenty-first. Written for a general audience, but with a scholarly attention to detail and nuance, San Antonio: A Tricentennial History immerses readers in the city’s fascinating and fraught past.

Download and read online ebook Remembering Reconstruction write by Carole Emberton. This book was released on 2017-04-12. Remembering Reconstruction available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Academic studies of the Civil War and historical memory abound, ensuring a deeper understanding of how the war’s meaning has shifted over time and the implications of those changes for concepts of race, citizenship, and nationhood. The Reconstruction era, by contrast, has yet to receive similar attention from scholars. Remembering Reconstruction ably fills this void, assembling a prestigious lineup of Reconstruction historians to examine the competing social and historical memories of this pivotal and violent period in American history. Many consider the period from 1863 (beginning with slave emancipation) to 1877 (when the last federal troops were withdrawn from South Carolina and Louisiana) an “unfinished revolution” for civil rights, racial-identity formation, and social reform. Despite the cataclysmic aftermath of the war, the memory of Reconstruction in American consciousness and its impact on the country’s fraught history of identity, race, and reparation has been largely neglected. The essays in Remembering Reconstruction advance and broaden our perceptions of the complex revisions in the nation's collective memory. Notably, the authors uncover the impetus behind the creation of black counter-memories of Reconstruction and the narrative of the “tragic era” that dominated white memory of the period. Furthermore, by questioning how Americans have remembered Reconstruction and how those memories have shaped the nation's social and political history throughout the twentieth century, this volume places memory at the heart of historical inquiry.
