    Hardcover (Ch Publications, Nov. 26, 2019)
    If you want to discover the captivating history of the Victorian Era, then keep reading...When Queen Victoria stepped onto the throne of Great Britain and Ireland in 1837, gone were the days when the monarch had supreme authority over the kingdom. Victoria ruled at the head of a government with which she was meant to converse, debate, and ultimately guide, and it was a job she sometimes struggled to perform. Victoria described herself as an emotional creature and blamed her gender for what she believed were her shortcomings as a monarch.The queen suffered emotionally during her childhood and also in the early part of her rule, but despite a few dramatic scandals at court, Victoria came to be loved and respected by the majority of her subjects across the vast British Empire. An unprecedented number of important social and economic changes occurred during Victoria's 63-year reign, and that span of time has come to signify Britain's coming of age into modern history. One of the most important changes experienced by Great Britain between 1837 and 1901 was the population explosion. When Victoria was crowned, there were about 13.9 million Britons; by the time she died, there were an estimated 32.5 million. The sharp increase has been related to modernized methods of medical treatment, sanitation, and social welfare, but each of those industries was far from perfection during the 19th century. Nevertheless, the birth rate increased and the mortality rate fell. In The Victorian Era: A Captivating Guide to the Life of Queen Victoria and an Era in the History of the United Kingdom Known for Its Hierarchy-Based Social Order, you will discover topics such as An Unexpected Heiress The Accession A Palace, A Groom, and Two Scandals Rats, Fleas, and Other Victorian Pests The Cholera Epidemic of 1846-1860 The Sanitation Revolution A Queen in Mourning Anatomy, Medicine, and the Body Snatchers Frankenstein, Horror, and Science Fiction Egyptomania, Scientific Racism, and the Suez Canal Cults and the Church of England A Letter from China The Industrial Revolution Homelessness and Poverty Victorian Spirits and Spirituality A Victorian Christmas The Victorians on Evolution Madness, Hysteria, and Masturbation Empress of India Jack the Ripper The 20th Century And much, much more!

Immediately he rushed to Washington, D.C., to be embroiled in a Constitutional crisis over the secession of power.The Whig Political Party had chosen Tyler as Harrison’s running mate in the election of 1840, primarily because he was from the very populous state of Virginia and it was hoped he could bring in the Southern vote. The Whigs were shocked when Tyler became president and didn’t fall in line with the party. He vetoed much of their legislation, so they kicked him out of the party!After his one term in office, he was relegated to political obscurity. As the tensions grew between the North and South leading up to the Civil War, Tyler and his new wife, thirty years his junior, became outspoken advocates for slavery and Southern plantation life. Just before his death he was elected as a representative to the Confederate States of Amercia and would be buried in a coffin draped with a Confederate flag.
