Demokratie als Gefahr für die Republik
Mit der Präsidentschaft Donald Trumps ist die Frage, wie viel direkten Einfluss das »einfache Volk« im politischen Willensbildungsprozess haben sollte, auf beiden Seiten des Atlantiks präsent. Doch bereits der 7. US-Präsident Andrew Jackson polarisierte und wurde von seinen Anhängern als Kandidat des Volkes und Heilsbringer gefeiert, der gegen eine korrupte Elite vorgehen würde. Auf die Lehren antiker Autoren zurückgreifend und die Geschichte untergegangener Republiken als mahnendes Exempel vor Augen, warfen seine Gegner ihm jedoch vor, eine Gefahr für die Republik darzustellen.

The Sweetness of Life
American slaveholders used the wealth and leisure that slave labor provided to cultivate lives of gentility and refinement. This study provides a vivid portrait of slaveholders at home and at play as they built a tragic world of both 'sweetness' and slavery.
A Degraded Caste of Society
A Degraded Caste of Society traces the origins of twenty-first-century cases of interracial violence to the separate and unequal protection principles of the criminal law of enslavement in the southern United States. Andrew T. Fede explains how antebellum appellate court opinions and statutes, when read in a context that includes newspaper articles and trial court and census records, extended this doctrine to the South’s free Black people, consigning them to what South Carolina justice John Belton O’Neall called “a degraded caste of society,” in which they were “in no respect, on a perfect equality with the white man.” This written law either criminalized Black insolence or privi...
Slavery in the United States [2 volumes]
A comprehensive, contextual presentation of all aspects—social, political, and economic—of slavery in the United States, from the first colonization through Reconstruction. For 250 years, slavery was part of the fabric of American life. The institution had an enormous economic impact and was central to the wealth of the agrarian South. It had as great an impact on American culture, cementing racism and other attitudes that echo into the present. This encyclopedia is an ambitious examination of all the issues surrounding slavery: the origins, the justifications, the controversies, and the human drama. These volumes represent the work of 75 distinguished scholars from around the world. Ten thematic essays present a thorough examination of slavery and slave culture, including a rare treatment of slavery from the slave's point of view. Three hundred A–Z entries provide instant access to specific people, issues, and events. Today, slavery's immorality seems obvious. This encyclopedia provides the student or general reader with an in-depth explanation of how the practice evolved and was normalized, then anathematized and abolished.
