American visions : the United States, 1800-1860 / by Ayers, Edward L.,1953-author.(CARDINAL)172475;

The early decades of the nineteenth century saw the expansion of slavery, Native dispossession, and wars with Canada and Mexico. Mass immigration and powerful religious movements sent tremors through American society. But even as the powerful defended the status quo, others defied it: voices from the margins moved the center; eccentric visions altered the accepted wisdom, and acts of empathy questioned self-interest. Edward L. Ayers's rich history examines the visions that moved Frederick Douglass, Margaret Fuller, the Native American activist William Apess, and others to challenge entrenched practices and beliefs. So, Lydia Maria Child condemned the racism of her fellow northerners at great personal cost. Melville and Thoreau, Joseph Smith and Samuel Morse all charted new paths for America in the realms of art, nature, belief, and technology. It was Henry David Thoreau who, speaking of John Brown, challenged a hostile crowd "Is it not possible that an individual may be right and a government wrong?" Through decades of award-winning scholarship on the Civil War, Edward L. Ayers has himself ventured beyond the interpretative status quo to recover the range of possibilities embedded in the past as it was lived. Here he turns that distinctive historical sensibility to a period when bold visionaries and critics built vigorous traditions of dissent and innovation into the foundation of the nation. Those traditions remain alive for us today"--

The Republic for which it stands : the United States during Reconstruction and the Gilded Age, 1865-1896 / by White, Richard,1947-author.(CARDINAL)349165;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 873-901) and index.Introduction -- Part I. Reconstructing the nation. Prologue : Mourning Lincoln -- In the wake of the War -- Radical reconstruction -- The greater reconstruction -- Home -- Gilded liberals -- Triumph of wage labor -- Panic -- Beginning a second century -- Part II. The quest for prosperity. Years of violence -- The party of prosperity -- People in motion -- Liberal orthodoxy and radical opinions -- Dying for progress -- The great upheaval -- Reform -- Westward the course of reform -- The center fails to hold -- The poetry of a pound of steel -- Part III. The crisis arrives. The other half -- Dystopian and utopian America -- The Great Depression -- Things fall apart -- An era ends -- Conclusion."During Reconstruction Northerners attempted to remake the United States in their own image. They would make incarnate the new world Republicans imagined at the end of the Civil War. That new world seemed possible because the Republican Party controlled the Union in 1865 as fully as any political party would ever control the country. Reconstruction would produce a nation built around free labor with a homogeneous citizenry whose rights would be guaranteed by a newly empowered federal government. Black as well as white citizens would inhabit a largely Protestant country of independent producers. They never realized that dream. The government's attempts to implement this vision confronted significant obstacles. Southern whites successfully resisted, and Indians resisted with far less success. Freed people both grasped the opportunities that the Republican vision offered them and attempted to articulate their own version of republican America. The United States became a nation of immigrants, Catholic and Jewish as well as Protestant. New technologies transformed the economy, as Americans significantly shifted into wage workers instead of independent producers. Capitalism produced the very rich and the very poor. The Gilded Age thrived where Reconstruction failed, the template of American modernity. The era was full of paradoxes. Notoriously corrupt, it also formed a seedbed of reform. It spawned racial, religious, and social conflicts as deep as the country had seen to date, but a newly diverse nation emerged. The newest volume in the acclaimed Oxford History of the United States series, The Republic for Which It Stands offers a magisterial account of the Gilded Age's real legacy that lies buried beneath its capitalists of legend and its corrupt politicians."--Provided by publisher.

Central Andes ; Northern Andes and Central America ; Mesoamerica and the American Southwest."Golden Kingdoms provides a sweeping overview of the luxury arts in ancient America from the second millennium BC to the Spanish Conquest in the sixteenth century. Wrought with extraordinary skill from gold, silver, jade, turquoise, shell, textile, and feathers, the spectacular imagery created by court artists played a central role in the royal regalia and sacred rituals that validated imperial power in Pre-Columbian kingdoms from the Andes in the south to Mexico in the north. Reserved for the religious and political elites of the Olmec, Maya, Chimú, Moche, Aztecs, and other peoples, many of these objects were traded over hundreds of miles and cherished for centuries as heirlooms, often ending up as dedications in temples and sacred natural wells (cenotes), or as burial goods for the afterlife. Based on the latest archaeological excavations and scholarship, this study provides a radical reinterpretation of this fascinating material that reflects the value system of the indigenous cultures themselves. Many of the objects have never before left their countries of origin." -From back cover of jacket."This publication is issued on the occasion of the exhibition Golden Kingdoms: Luxury and Legacy in the Ancient Americas, on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center, Los Angeles, from September 16, 2017, through January 28, 2018, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from February 26 to May 28, 2018"--Title page verso.
