À propos de ce contenu audio
 In Volume II of this captivating history, we delve into the tumultuous revolutionary year of 1848, where the Chartist movement ignited the call for manhood suffrage and Young Ireland began to rise. Experience the excitement of the Great Exhibition in 1851, where Queen Victoria described the scene A little rain fell just as we started, but before we came near the Crystal Palace the sun shone and gleamed upon the gigantic edifice, upon which the flags of all nations were floating. Yet, amidst these hopeful moments, the harsh realities of the Crimean War unfolded, with the freezing trenches before Sebastopol revealing the tragic failures in leadership and logistics that shocked the British public. (Pamela Nagami, M.D.)

    Richmond National Battlefield Park, Virginia by Joseph P. Cullen.

    Richmond, Virginia, was the capital of The Confederacy during the American Civil War, 1861-1865. It was the focus of two military campaigns by Northern armies, one in the summer of 1862 (the Peninsula Campaign) and the second in 1864-1865. When the city was conquered and destroyed in early April, 1865, , it was only a few days later that General Lee surrendered to General Grant and the Civil War was over. Published in 1961, this is National Park Service Historical Handbook 33. The text contains many informative maps and interesting photographs.

    Facts of Reconstruction-John R. Lynch

    Facts of Reconstruction by John R. Lynch.

    After the American Civil War, John R. Lynch, who had been a slave in Mississippi, began his political career in 1869 by first becoming Justice of the Peace, and then Mississippi State Representative. He was only 26 when he was elected to the US Congress in 1873. There, he continued to be an activist, introducing many bills and arguing on their behalf. Perhaps his greatest effort was in the long debate supporting the Civil Rights Act of 1875 to ban discrimination in public accommodations. In 1884 Lynch was the first African American nominated after a moving speech by Theodore Roosevelt to the position of Temporary Chairman of the Republican National Convention in Chicago, Illinois. During the Spanish-American War of 1898, he was appointed Treasury Auditor and then Paymaster under the Republicans.

    Making of the British Empire (A.D. 1714-1832)-Arthur Hassall

    Making of the British Empire (A.D. 1714-1832) by Arthur Hassall.

    At its height, the British Empire was the largest in history. This short volume traces its development through the long 18th century, from 1714 to the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Founded on the prosperity of Sir Robert Walpole's ministry (1721-1742), the Empire emerged from the Indian conquests of that gifted military amateur, Lord Clive, and was extended under the leadership of William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, who drove the English to victory in the Seven Years' War (1756-1763). Surmounting the loss of the American colonies and twenty years of conflict with France, by the first quarter of the 19th century, the British navy, master of the oceans, presided over an Empire upon which the sun never set.
