Paperback. Condition: New. Second Edition. The Declaration of Independence proclaimed freedom for Americans from the domination of Great Britain, yet for millions of African Americans caught up in a brutal system of racially based slavery, freedom would be denied for ninety additional years until the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution. In Freedom's Delay, Allen Carden probes the slow, painful, yet ultimately successful crusade to end slavery throughout the nation. This second edition, published as America celebrates its 250th birthday, probes the political divisions and racial strife still prevalent and questions the progress we've made since the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment in the face of discriminatory politics and racial inequality.This work fills an important gap in the literature of slavery's demise. Unlike other authors who focus on specific periods or regional areas, Carden presents a thematically structured national synthesis of emancipation. Freedom's Delay offers a comprehensive and unique overview of the process of manumission commencing in 1776 when slavery was a national institution, not just the Southern experience known historically by most Americans. In this volume, the entire country is examined, and major emancipatory efforts-political, literary, legal, moral, and social-are documented over the years from independence through the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment.Freedom's Delay dispels many myths about slavery and abolition, including that racial servitude was of little consequence in the North; that abolition was a White man's cause and Blacks were passive recipients of liberty; that the South seceded primarily to protect states' rights; and that the North fought the Civil War primarily to end the subjugation of African Americans. Meticulously researched using a wide array of primary and secondary sources, this book reveals what actually transpired in the fight for human rights during this critical era. This second edition with a new afterword ensures that Freedom's Delay will maintain a significant place in the literature of American slavery and freedom.…

Hardback. Condition: New. With a history dating back to 1820, The Missouri Harmony was the most popular of all frontier shape-note tune books. The 185 songs in the collection were favorites used in Protestant churches and singing schools, and many were already deeply rooted in American culture by the time of its first publication. The story of the book is the story of a burgeoning nation, with its origins in a St. Louis school (where it was introduced by singing master Allen Carden) and its spread along the Mississippi River and its tributaries. It's said that even Abraham Lincoln and his sweetheart Ann Rutledge sang from The Missouri Harmony at her father's tavern in Illinois. Compilations such as The Missouri Harmony not only helped teach midwesterners to read music but also carried a uniquely American heritage of shaped notes, a system of musical notation that grew out of the singing school movement in eighteenth-century New England. Furthermore, this heritage would be, according to composer Virgil Thomson, ""the musical basis of almost everything we make, of Negro spirituals, of cowboy songs, of popular ballads, of blues, of hymns, of doggerel ditties, and all our operas and symphonies.…

Paperback. Condition: New. The Declaration of Independence proclaimed freedom for Americans from the domination of Great Britain, yet for millions of African Americas caught up in a brutal system of racially based slavery, freedom would be denied for ninety additional years until the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Freedom's Delay: America's Struggle for Emancipation, 1776-1865 probes the slow, painful, yet ultimately successful crusade to end slavery throughout the nation, North and South.This work fills an important gap in the literature of slavery's demise. Unlike other authors who focus largely on specific time periods or regional areas, Allen Carden presents a thematically structured national synthesis of emancipation. Freedom's Delay offers a comprehensive and unique overview of the process of manumission commencing in 1776 when slavery was a national institution, not just the southern experience known historically by most Americans. In this volume, the entire country is examined, and major emancipatory efforts-political, literary, legal, moral, and social-made by black and white, free and enslaved individuals are documented over the years from independence through the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment.Freedom's Delay dispels many of the myths about slavery and abolition, including that racial servitude was of little consequence in the North, and, where it did exist, it ended quickly and easily; that abolition was a white man's cause and blacks were passive recipients of liberty; that the South seceded primarily to protect states' rights, not slavery; and that the North fought the Civil War primarily to end the subjugation of African Americans. By putting these misunderstandings aside, this book reveals what actually transpired in the fight for human rights during this critical era. Carden's inclusion of a cogent preface and epilogue assures that Freedom's Delay will find a significant place in the literature of American slavery and freedom.With a compelling preface and epilogue, notes, illustrations and tables, and a detailed bibliography, this volume will be of great value not only in courses on American history and African American history but also to the general reading public.…
