In their struggle against the slaveholding oligarchy of their time, America's antislavery leaders found their way back to the rationalist, secularist, and essentially atheist inspiration for the first American Revolution. Frederick Douglass's unusual interest in radical German philosophers and Abraham Lincoln's buried allusions to the same thinkers are but a few of the clues that underlie this propulsive philosophical detective story. With fresh takes on forgotten thinkers like Theodore Parker, the excommunicated Unitarian minister who is the original source of some of Lincoln's most famous lines, and a feisty band of German refugees, philosopher and historian Matthew Stewart tells a vivid and piercing story of the battle between America's philosophical radicals and the conservative counterrevolution that swept the American republic in the first decades of its existence and persists in new forms up to the present day. In exposing the role of Christian nationalism and the collusion between northern economic elites and slaveholding oligarchs, An Emancipation of the Mind demands a significant revision in our understanding of the origins and meaning of the struggle over slavery in America--and offers a fresh perspective on struggles between democracy and elite power today"--Amazon. 650 0 $a Enslaved persons $x Emancipation. 650 0 $a Antislavery movements $z America $x History. 650 0 $a Human rights $z America $x History. 650 0 $a Enslaved persons $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Slavery $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Political science $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 6 $a Esclaves $x Affranchissement. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0042177 650 6 $a Mouvements antiesclavagistes $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 $z AmeÌrique $0 (CaQQLa)201-0420721 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 650 6 $a Droits de l'homme (Droit international) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 $z AmeÌrique $0 (CaQQLa)201-0420721 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 650 6 $a Esclaves $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378908 $x Histoire $0 (CaQQLa)201-0042177 $x Histoire $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378908 $y 19e sieÌcle. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378908 650 7 $a PHILOSOPHY / General. $2 bisacsh 651 0 $a Europe $x Colonies $z America. 941 $a 9 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702025954.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240503010525.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502013215.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240502011131.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240502010442.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240424010059.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409012916.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240402012853.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240402012131.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=91FB4C3CF0B811EE9EC0998A3BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
