Self-evident truths : contesting equal rights from the Revolution to the Civil War / by Brown, Richard D.,author.(CARDINAL)130104;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 311-372) and indexThe Declaration of Independence and the mystery of equality -- Contending for religious equality -- Equal justice for Irishmen and other foreigners -- People of color and the promise betrayed -- People of color and equal rights : New England cases -- Subordinate citizens : women and children -- Equal rights and unequal people -- Equal rights, privilege, and the pursuit of inequality"How did Americans in the generations following the Declaration of Independence translate its lofty ideals into practice? In this broadly synthetic work, distinguished historian Richard Brown shows that despite its founding statement that "all men are created equal," the early Republic struggled with every form of social inequality. While people paid homage to the ideal of equal rights, this ideal came up against entrenched social and political practices and beliefs. Brown illustrates how the ideal was tested in struggles over race and ethnicity, religious freedom, gender and social class, voting rights and citizenship. He shows how high principles fared in criminal trials and divorce cases when minorities, women, and people from different social classes faced judgment. This book offers a much-needed exploration of the ways revolutionary political ideas penetrated popular thinking and everyday practice"--Book jacket

Understanding equal rights / by Brezina, Corona.(CARDINAL)670104;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 104-107) and index.Students extract key ideas and details through informational text that helps them improve their critical reading skills. They can evaluate actions and events in the substantive topic of equal rights, including learning about the fight for the rights of African Americans and other racial minorities, women's rights, and LGBT rights. The U.S. Constitution laid the groundwork for equal rights in America, including the possible future expansion of rights. The powerful Bill of Rights established many of these liberties and guaranteed Americans protection from government tyranny. Despite these guarantees, many people have been excluded from certain basic rights throughout U.S. history. Readers analyze these events and achievements and examine some high-profile instances of injustice and inequality. Sidebars offer students additional particulars about equality and personal freedom, and the Preamble to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are printed in the back matter for easy reference.789Y

Born equal : remaking America's Constitution, 1840-1920 / by Amar, Akhil Reedauthorauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut(CARDINAL)275330;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Pre-war -- War's eve -- Civil War -- Post war -- World war."In Born Equal, the prizewinning constitutional historian Akhil Reed Amar recounts the dramatic constitutional debates that unfolded across these eight decades, when four glorious amendments abolished slavery, secured Black and female citizenship, and extended suffrage regardless of race or gender. At the heart of this era was the epic and ever-evolving idea that all Americans are created equal. The promise of birth equality sat at the base of the 1776 Declaration of Independence. But in the nineteenth century, remarkable American women and men-especially Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Abraham Lincoln-elaborated a new vision of what this ideal demanded. Their debates played out from Seneca Falls to the halls of Congress, from Bloody Kansas to Gettysburg, from Ford's Theater to the White House gates, ultimately transforming the nation and the world"-- Provided by publisher.
