Voices from the Gathering Storm explains the dramatic change in thinking about the nature and value of the American Union from 1846 to 1861 which impelled citizens from 11 southern states to declare independence and the remaining 22 states to fight the bloodiest war in the nation's history. This reader tells the story of seventeen Northerners and Southerners who lived through the critical fifteen years prior to the Civil War. In their letters and diaries, they describe in their own words what it was like to live during the sectional crisis and the coming of the war. Men like Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis thought deeply about issues of patriotism and states' rights, issues which remain of great importance today. Women and black Americans were also passionate in their beliefs. Harriet Beecher Stowe felt so strongly about slavery that she wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin. Frederick Douglass and Charlotte Forten GrimkÈ wrote of their abhorrence of slavery and the need to end that 'evil institution.' The lives of Southern women were also affected as they were forced to confront the issue of slavery and the Northern effort to end it. The voices of these men and women are heard in this new volume. At this time the North and South made decisions that resulted in two very different civilizations-the South embraced slavery and states' rights, while the North rejected the expansion of slavery and accepted the idea of an indivisible Union. These pre-Civil War years contain the key to understanding how the war came to be and also enable students to comprehend the modern North and South. Voices from the Gathering Storm is the only text that uses primary sources to illustrate the conflicts that divided the nation before the war. This use of primary sources allows students to enter more deeply into the lives of Northerners and Southerners and to understand and appreciate the way in which they responded to this tense period in American history. The author provides chapter introductions that connect the d

Longstreth Lester Milbrath - Stephen S. Morse - Hugh Pitcher John Poppy - Van Rensselaer Potter - Ellen K. Silbergeld - James A. Swan Voices from the Gathering Storm is an important book that presents a broad view of our environmental predicament. It puts its finger on a crucial part of the problem: something deep down is wrong; we are guided by antiquated systems of beliefs, ethics, and religions unsuited for today's global, industrial, corporate world. As currently perceived, corporations are guided of necessity by one principle, maximizing profits, a principle that is leading ultimately to irreversible environmental disaster. The book tells us that only a religious revolution can bring about the needed change in the structure of corporations and their relation to society. Those concerned about the unthinking, dangerous way we are approaching our future should read this book. - Peter Seidel, environmental architect and author of Invisible Walls: Why We Ignore the Damage We Inflict on the Planet. . .and Ourselves The devastation toward which the trends examined [in this book] point defies imagination. Yet there is little sign that they are being met with anything other than massive denial. The authors are to be commended for continuing to call attention to the symptoms, and sound the alarm that might awaken some from the slumberof the status quo. . .Without the voices of solid science and concerned intelligence, there is little prospect for avoiding the looming apocalypse. Ironically, perverted religious views play a large role in contributing to the magnitude of the problem, whereas the central values of religion at its best, advocating love for and stewardship of all creation, offer solid grounds for rational hope for survival of humanity and the welfare of this planet. May the readers of this volume benefit from its wisdom and may they help - against all odds - to reverse the impending tragedy. . . . - James Megivern, professor emeritus and retired chair, Dept. of Philosophy and Religion, Univ. of North Carolina at Wilmington

The Nebraska-Kansas Act of 1854 turns upside down the traditional way of thinking about one of the most important laws ever passed in American history. The act that created Nebraska and Kansas also, in effect, abolished the Missouri Compromise, which had prohibited slavery in the region since 1820. This bow to local control outraged the nation and led to vicious confrontations, including Kansas' subsequent mini-civil war. At the 150th anniversary of the Kansas-Nebraska Act these scholars reexamine the political, social, and personal contexts of this act and its effect on the course of American history.

The slow awakening of the people of Bulembe to the true meaning of 'independence' encapsulated in the parallel stories of the Kamuyuga family, who shed their old identity and turn into the wealth-grabbing 'Alkarims', and the Lubele family, who remain exploited peasants. But do the people remain forever caught under the burdens of the past, blinded by the skin-deep 'changes' to the present? This is revealed through the eyes of Simon Lubele, son of Bulembe dedicated to real change. The author renders the tranquil beauty of the Anyalungu plateau on which Bulembe lies, deep-rooted customs of its peasants, the crushing twin burdens of static African tradition and oppressive colonial machinery with poignancy and quiet insight.

In April 1888, Andrew Jenson, Danish immigrant and convert to the Mormon faith, received an unexpected invitation from church leaders to speak at their general conference. Jenson was an outsider to this conference tradition, a layman whose only standing before the main body of Latter-day Saints came from a contracted position with the Church Historian's Office. Forty-two years later, in April 1930, Jenson offered his twenty-eighth and final general conference sermon. He had become the voice of institutional record keeping in his over forty-year career as an Assistant Church Historian. His sermons demonstrated the growth and expansion of the Mormon general conference tradition in the twentieth century, as they placed the Latter-day Saint story front and center for church members to learn from and celebrate. In addition, Jenson urged conference goers to keep better personal and institutional records and believed he was often the solitary advocate for church record keeping and historical preservation. A Voice in the Wilderness presents all twenty-eight of Andrew Jenson's general conference sermons, with introductions and annotations that set them within their historical and religious contexts. His speeches capture a unique period in Mormon history, one of institutional change, accommodation, and growth. This study of Jenson's sermons uncovers the richness and diversity that thrives just beneath the surface of official ecclesiastical discourse.
