Charles Cash is addicted to the mayo-drips and brown buns of a Big Mac, so he undergoes a colonoscopy. Under anesthesia he dreams about his advanced high school history class (three African American super stars) and the sometimes-salacious diary they’re reading from the Civil War. The diary concerns Charles’s own ancestors, specifically the picaresque adventures of Cato Cincinnatus Cash (“CC”), med school failure and dope addict, and his paramour, Lulu Hartmann, German bi-sexual chanteuse. Charles’s three students fall in love with CC and Lulu and their troupe, including Little Bug, a black boy about eleven who carries a frog leg around his neck that from time to time, turns into a wise counselor who keeps the little man from getting depressed. Isabell Feinberg, school art teacher and Charles’s fiancé, points out that his students love him, but he has only shown them white people in the war. What they really want is to learn about slavery. What was it like? How did the slaves survive? Charles, a white man, is convinced even he can’t teach them that…until he is himself transformed in his dream into a black slave and is hauled away to a rice plantation on the Pedee River to serve as a secretary for a masked, brutal plantation owner. Little Bug and Mr. Jam save him and bring him back to his classroom where his three black students are ecstatic. In his dream CC and Lulu are married and Charles and Isabelle are married. During Charles’s ceremony, a trumpet sounds. The walls of the chapel fall away, and from all over the south, graves open and the dead of both north and south rise. They’re grinning and they all march forward toward Charles. He's stunned and relieved and a burden is lifted from his heart. When Charles wakes up from his colonoscopy, (which took 30 minutes), he proposes to the real Isabelle and tells her he has been granted a vision. He’s a lackluster Episcopalian, who doesn’t normally believe in visions, but this one he believes. He is free from the Civil War, his ancestor CC, and his parents. He proposes marriage. The end.

Capitalism in America by Alan Greenspan,Adrian Wooldridge Pdf
From the legendary former Fed Chairman and the acclaimed Economist writer and historian, the full, epic story of America's evolution from a small patchwork of threadbare colonies to the most powerful engine of wealth and innovation the world has ever seen. Shortlisted for the 2018 Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award From even the start of his fabled career, Alan Greenspan was duly famous for his deep understanding of even the most arcane corners of the American economy, and his restless curiosity to know even more. To the extent possible, he has made a science of understanding how the US economy works almost as a living organism--how it grows and changes, surges and stalls. He has made a particular study of the question of productivity growth, at the heart of which is the riddle of innovation. Where does innovation come from, and how does it spread through a society? And why do some eras see the fruits of innovation spread more democratically, and others, including our own, see the opposite? In Capitalism in America, Greenspan distills a lifetime of grappling with these questions into a thrilling and profound master reckoning with the decisive drivers of the US economy over the course of its history. In partnership with the celebrated Economist journalist and historian Adrian Wooldridge, he unfolds a tale involving vast landscapes, titanic figures, triumphant breakthroughs, enlightenment ideals as well as terrible moral failings. Every crucial debate is here--from the role of slavery in the antebellum Southern economy to the real impact of FDR's New Deal to America's violent mood swings in its openness to global trade and its impact. But to read Capitalism in America is above all to be stirred deeply by the extraordinary productive energies unleashed by millions of ordinary Americans that have driven this country to unprecedented heights of power and prosperity. At heart, the authors argue, America's genius has been its unique tolerance for the effects of creative destruction, the ceaseless churn of the old giving way to the new, driven by new people and new ideas. Often messy and painful, creative destruction has also lifted almost all Americans to standards of living unimaginable to even the wealthiest citizens of the world a few generations past. A sense of justice and human decency demands that those who bear the brunt of the pain of change be protected, but America has always accepted more pain for more gain, and its vaunted rise cannot otherwise be understood, or its challenges faced, without recognizing this legacy. For now, in our time, productivity growth has stalled again, stirring up the populist furies. There's no better moment to apply the lessons of history to the most pressing question we face, that of whether the United States will preserve its preeminence, or see its leadership pass to other, inevitably less democratic powers.

The Political Work of Northern Women Writers and the Civil War, 1850-1872 by Lyde Cullen Sizer Pdf
This volume explores the lives and works of nine Northern women who wrote during the Civil War period, examining the ways in which, through their writing, they engaged in the national debates of the time. Lyde Sizer shows that from the 1850 publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin through Reconstruction, these women, as well as a larger mosaic of lesser-known writers, used their mainstream writings publicly to make sense of war, womanhood, Union, slavery, republicanism, heroism, and death. Among the authors discussed are Lydia Maria Child, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Sara Willis Parton (Fanny Fern), Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth, Mary Abigail Dodge (Gail Hamilton), Louisa May Alcott, Rebecca Harding Davis, and Elizabeth Stuart Phelps. Although direct political or partisan power was denied to women, these writers actively participated in discussions of national issues through their sentimental novels, short stories, essays, poetry, and letters to the editor. Sizer pays close attention to how these mostly middle-class women attempted to create a "rhetoric of unity," giving common purpose to women despite differences in class, race, and politics. This theme of unity was ultimately deployed to establish a white middle-class standard of womanhood, meant to exclude as well as include.
