Practical liberators : Union officers in the western theater during the Civil War / by Teters, Kristopher A.,author.(CARDINAL)826219;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The Union army's struggle over the limits of confiscation in the West -- An emancipationist turn of policy -- Union officers and the intense debate over emancipation and black troops -- Officers, servants, and race -- A practical army of liberation : how the Union army carried out emancipation in the West -- William T. Sherman and his officers : the reluctant emancipators."During the first fifteen months of the Civil War, the policies and attitudes of Union officers toward emancipation in the western theater were, at best, inconsistent and fraught with internal strains. But after Congress passed the Second Confiscation Act in 1862, army policy became mostly consistent in its support of liberating the slaves in general, in spite of Union army officers' differences of opinion. By 1863 and the final Emancipation Proclamation, the army had transformed into the key force for instituting emancipation in the West. However, Kristopher Teters argues that the guiding principles behind this development in attitudes and policy were a result of military necessity and pragmatic strategies, rather than an effort to enact racial equality."--

Citizenship on Catfish Row : race and nation in American popular culture / by Harpham, Geoffrey Galt,1946-author.(CARDINAL)526282;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Citizenship on Catfish Row focuses on three seminal works in the history of American culture: the first full-length narrative film, D. W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation; the first integrated musical, Oscar Hammerstein and Jerome Kern's Showboat; and the first great American opera, George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess. Each of these works sought to make a statement about American identity in the form of a narrative, and each included in that narrative a prominent role for Black people.Each work included jarring or discordant elements that pointed to a deeper tension between the kind of stories Americans wish to tell about themselves and the historical and social reality of race. Although all three have been widely criticized, their efforts to connect the concepts of nation and race are not only instructive about the history of the American imagination but also provide unexpected resources for contemporary reflection"--
