“Out of many, one.” But how do the many become one without sacrificing difference or autonomy? This problem was critical to both identity formation and state formation in late 18th- and 19th-century America. The premise of this book is that American writers of the time came to view the resolution of this central philosophical problem as no longer the exclusive province of legislative or judicial documents but capable of being addressed by literary texts as well. The project of E Pluribus Unum is twofold. Its first and underlying concern is the general philosophic problem of the one and the many as it came to be understood at the time. W. C. Harris supplies a detailed account of the genealogy of the concept, exploring both its applications and its paradoxes as a basis for state and identity formation. Harris then considers the perilous integration of the one and the many as a motive in the major literary accomplishments of 19th-century U.S. writers. Drawing upon critical as well as historical resources and upon contexts as diverse as cosmology, epistemology, poetics, politics, and Bible translation, he discusses attempts by Poe, Whitman, Melville, and William James to resolve the problems of social construction caused by the paradox of e pluribus unum by writing literary and philosophical texts that supplement the nation’s political founding documents. Poe (Eureka), Whitman (Leaves of Grass), Melville (Billy Budd), and William James (The Varieties of Religious Experience) provide their own distinct, sometimes contradictory resolutions to the conflicting demands of diversity and unity, equality and hierarchy. Each of these texts understands literary and philosophical writing as having the potential to transform-conceptually or actually-the construction of social order. This work will be of great interest to literary and constitutional scholars.

This book describes the importance of America being unitede pluribus unumaccording the original US motto. It contrasts what happened in the United States with the rest of the Americas. The United States, because of its manifest destiny or exceptionalism, one common language, and immigration assimilation, is a nation that, because of its union, should be emulated. Following geographical distribution, only three Americas should exist: North America (Canada, United States, and Mexico), Central America, and South America, which could be seen in figure 3. It starts with the United States of North America; the English colony; the American Revolution in 1776; its founding father, George Washington; and Abraham Lincoln. Then more recently, Barack Obama and Donald J. Trump are reviewed as well as their titanic efforts to maintain the union. This union was achieved after the original thirteen colonies were expanded with the Mexican-American war, the purchase of Louisiana and Florida, and the annexation of Alaska, Texas, and Hawaii. It triplicated its surface size. It is the third largest country in the world at 9,826,675 square kilometers. As a contrast in Latin America with rampant division, more than twenty countries were founded. Efforts to unite Central America, the Peru-Bolivian Confederation, and the South American Free Countries (Federal League of the Free Countries) have been unsuccessful with many caudillos and heroes like Marti, Bolivar, Artigas, Juana Azurduy de Padilla, OHiggins, and San Martin, whose efforts have unfortunately been a failure. Many revolutions, civil wars, and corruption among its presidents, such as Cristina Kirchner, Evo Morales, and Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, have eroded the rest of the Americas. In the USA, the common language and the embrace of a multicultural nation with exceptionalism manifest destiny has been the formula of success. Two parties, Republicans and Democrats, vs. many parties in the rest of the Americas have contributed to the preservation of the union. This country has been successful in maintaining the union, but not without severe and sanguineous experiences such as the civil war and the abolition of slavery with 750, 000 deaths when the Confederate States of America existed from 1861 to 1865. Now the challenge remains. Will Donald J. Trump maintain the union and resolve the division that until now still exists? Time will tell.

E Pluribus Unum: (From Many, One) is an epic story (1861–1876) chronicling the lives of two individuals. One a black man, Jason Ruth, born into a life of perpetual slavery; the other was a white woman, Rebecca Billings, the daughter of Henry Billings, master of the Rosewood Plantation, born into a pampered life of privilege as a member of the Southern aristocracy. Two people – one black, the other white – whose preordained statuses in life were at diametrically opposite ends of the South's Antebellum society. Two people with absolutely nothing in common yet two people whose lives were inexorably linked due to the lust of Rebecca's father, Henry Billings, for his black slave, Ruth, Jason's mother. Henry Billings's coupling (white master with his black female slave), a common and socially accepted practice in the slave–holding South, resulted in the birth of Mandy (Jason and Rebecca's sister). While Jason and Rebecca are not related by blood, Jason (who had been born before his mother, Ruth, caught the eye of the "massa") and Rebecca each shared a deep and enduring love for his and her only surviving sibling, their common link, their sister, Mandy. The novel tells of Rebecca's life while raising a child of mixed blood in the South during the Civil War and during Reconstruction. It tells of Jason's life as a member of the Massachusetts 54th Infantry Division and his service as a member of the United States Army's 10th Cavalry (Buffalo Soldiers). The novel examines three coexisting nineteenth–century American cultures: the recently defeated South's response to the post–Civil War's era of Reconstruction, the former black slaves who are attempting to adjust to life as freedmen, and the noble nomadic hunter–gatherer society of the Plains Indians fighting to defend and to maintain their way of life.

The God Particle as it is called, or technically, the Higg's boson, is discovered in CERNS Large Hadron Collider, in 2012. The next breakthrough comes in 2042, when Quantum Physicists learn how to disintegrate a human being and accelerate his atoms to the speed of light and thereby interact with one or more God Particles in the follow-up machine, the Large Mass Collider. 'Realia' is the name the author has given to this region of sub-atomia where everything important in the universe is controlled. In our story, the Chinese and American governments, each scramble to send an atomonaut into quantum space to learn if the God Particle can provide them with enough power to control the world. The God Bomb is pursued by both sides from opposite ends of the planet. At the same time, Kundun Gyaltso, a ten-year-old Tibetan monk, pursues the truth about God's particles through an amazing new 3-D mandala software he has created and that is eventually downloaded by nearly every computer device on the planet. The experience rocks the world of any audience he entertains until he finally performs the most important 3-D mandala concert in history. Who will win the race to control the universe? The powers in government that now rule our world? Or will it be the power of peace and love and human kindness. The ending, the most mind-blowing in history, will surprise and amaze you. Everybody wins, however, the way that everyone wins is through one of the most profound questions ever asked. Does anyone get a Do-Over? Whether you want a do-over or not, the answer is in your particular place in 'Realia'.
