Books with title Emancipation Proclamation

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from EmancipationMy father was the cultivator of a small farm; part of which he held under a noble man who resided in the adjoining parish, the other part having long been in our fami ly. The tenement which my father occupied is called The Woodhouse, from its situation within the precincts of a wood belonging to his noble landlord; and the gardens and fields behind the house have been redeemed from the forest within the memory of my grandfather. The approach to the front of the house was through an avenue in the woods; and, from the contiguity of this front to the trees, it seldom saw the sun, excepting on a fine day in winter, when the woods were leafless.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

La emancipación cuenta la historia de la esclavitud, la secesión y la Guerra Civil. Emancipation and La emancipación tell the story of slavery, secession, and the Civil War. The first Africans to arrive in British America are shipped to Virginia where they are forced to work as slaves for white farmers. Slavery spreads throughout the American colonies. Slaves are sold at auction. Some owners withhold adequate food and clothing. Others neglect the elderly. Often slaves are overworked and sometimes brutally beaten. By 1804, all Northern states abolish slavery. Abolitionists demand the abolition of slavery in the Southern states. Some slaves try to escape to the North. Some rebel. Slavery laws become even harsher. Teaching a slave to read or write becomes illegal. Abolitionists like Frederick Douglass, begin working together to end slavery. The Underground Railroad helps slaves escape. Seven slave states secede, forming the Confederate States of America. Under President Jefferson Davis, the Confederacy takes U.S. Fort Sumter by force, beginning the Civil War. When Abraham Lincoln calls on the states for troops to put down the rebellion, four more states secede. General Robert E. Lee leads the Southern armies. General Ulysses S.Grant leads the Union armies. Former slaves and freemen enlist in the Union Army. Battles are fought by land, by sea, on foot, and on horseback. Both Union and Confederate soldiers fight valiantly for four years. With over a million casualties, 750,000 soldiers die. In border states, the war pits brother against brother, and father against son. Robert E. Lee surrenders. As a sign of respect, Grant permits him to keep his sword and horse. President Lincoln visits Richmond,Virginia and fulfills an item on his bucket list. He wanted to sit in Jefferson Davis' chair in the White House of the Confederacy. When black workmen bow to him, he tells them to "kneel to God only, and thank Him for the liberty you will hereafter enjoy." Prior to his assassination,Lincoln helped persuade Congress to pass the Thirteenth Amendment, which outlaws slavery in all states. It is adopted on December 6, 1865, ending 246 years of slavery in the United States of America. 24-page book for grades 3-8 with free downloadable ELA text-dependent questions and teacher resources from Rebecca Hinson Publishing website.
