James W.C. Pennington, c. 1807-1870 : "God of Liberty, save us from this clause" ; Wendell Phillips, 1811-1884 : "I am a fanatic" ; Frederick Douglass, 1818-1895 : "Freedom ... is the right to choose" -- The Suffragists. Angelina Grimké, 1805-1879 : "Deliver me from the oppression of men" ; Abby Kelley Foster, 1811-1887 : "Bloody feet, sisters, have worn smooth the path by which you have come hither" ; Elizabeth Cady Stanton, 1815-1902 : "No just government can be formed without the consent of the governed" -- Abraham Lincoln, 1809-1865 : "A new nation, conceived in liberty" -- William Jennings Bryan, 1860-1925 : "You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold" -- Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 1882-1945 : "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself" -- Adlai E. Stevenson, 1900-1965 : "A free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular" -- Ronald Reagan, 1911-2004 : "Man is not free unless government is limited" -- Martin Luther King, Jr., 1929-1968 : "I have a dream.""Give me liberty," demanded Patrick Henry, "or give me death!" Henry's words continue to echo in American history and that quote, and the speech it comes from, remains one of the two or three known to almost every American. The other speeches that have become part of our American collective consciousness all have one theme in common: liberty. These feats of oration seem to trace the evolution of America's definition of liberty, and who it applies to. But what exact is liberty? It is a term open to a broad range of opinion, and questions about freedom arise daily in the news and in everyday life. Perhaps uniquely among the nations of the world, the United States traces its origins to groups and individuals who specifically wanted create something new. Webber's insightful Give Me Liberty looks at these great speeches and provides the historical context, focusing attention on particular individuals who summed up the issues of their own day in words that have never been forgotten. Webber gleans lessons from the past centuries that will allow us to continue to strive for the ideals of liberty in the 21st century.

American to the backbone / by Webber, Christopher L.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 443-479) and index.The incredible story of a forgotten hero of nineteenth century New York City who was a former slave, Yale scholar, minister, and international leader of the Antebellum abolitionist movement. At the age of 19, scared and illiterate, James Pennington escaped from slavery in 1827 and soon became one of the leading voices against slavery prior to the Civil War. Just ten years after his escape, Pennington was ordained to the ministry of the Congregational Church after studying at Yale. Moving to Hartford, he became involved with the Amistad captives and founded the first African American mission society. He traveled to England as a delegate to a world Anti-Slavery Convention and served also as a delegate to an international peace convention. Later he traveled widely in Britain and on the continent to gain support for the American abolition movement. He was so respected by European audiences that the University of Heidelberg awarded him an honorary doctorate, making him the first person of African descent to receive such a degree. As he fought for equal rights in America, Pennington's voice was not limited to the preacher's pulpit. He wrote the first-ever "History of the Colored People" as well as a careful study of the moral basis for civil disobedience, which would be echoed decades later by Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.
