The Congressional Record is the official record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress. It is published daily when Congress is in session. The Congressional Record began publication in 1873. Debates for sessions prior to 1873 are recorded in The Debates and Proceedings in the Congress of the United States (1789-1824), the Register of Debates in Congress (1824-1837), and the Congressional Globe (1833-1873)
A new edition of the famous work by foremost American racial thinker E.S. Cox which reveals that Abraham Lincoln--and many other famous American politicians and Founding Fathers--regarded the only solution to America's racial problems as the wholesale repatriation of all blacks back to Africa. This repatriation plan was also supported by millions of blacks. Their organizations and leadership--including the Paul Cuffe, Henry M. Turner, Marcus Garvey, and M. M. L. Gordon--are also reviewed.Abraham Lincoln repeatedly advocated repatriation of blacks to land of their own. Cox's research shows that, contrary to allegations from some sources that he changed his views regarding this matter, he was making plans to establish a colony in Africa for blacks only days before he was assassinated. Even Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation contained his intention in this regard: "I, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of the United States, do hereby proclaim and declare that it is my purpose upon the next meeting of Congress to again recommend . . . the immediate or gradual abolishment of Slavery . . . and that the effort to colonize persons of African descent, with their consent, upon the continent or elsewhere, with the previously obtained consent of the government existing there, will be continued..."This work shows--from Lincoln's speeches and actions--that he never considered the integration of blacks into American society as an option, and repeatedly told "free Negroes" that their true destiny lay outside of America, in a "colony" of their own, either in Africa or elsewhere in the Caribbean or South America.This book also studies the work of the American Colonization Society, set up to promote the repatriation policy, and whose members included numerous American presidents such as James Monroe, James Madison, and Abraham Lincoln.This edition has been completely reset and hand-edited. It contains 11 illustrations and is fully indexed.
Twenty-one writers answer the call for literature that addresses who we are by understanding where we are--where, for each of them, being in some way part of academia. In personal essays, they imaginatively delineate and engage the diverse, occasionally unexpected play of place in shaping them, writers and teachers in varied environments, with unique experiences and distinctive world views, and reconfiguring for them conjunctions of identity and setting, here, there, everywhere, and in between.
