Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The year 1774 was a sea of turbulence in America. The brigantine Peggy Stewart sailed in this sea laden with a cargo of unbridled hatred and undying love. The tides of social change ebbed and flowed while the winds of newfound faith pushed those who had to cleave unto this ship to uncertain destinies. At a critical time for those touched by the Peggy Stewart, a simple message of faith reached across the Atlantic to transform despair into hope. Cleave is a word in English that though spelled the same has diametrically opposite meanings. The definitions of the word cleave found in modern dictionaries validates that it is indeed contradictory: cleave--to divide or cleave--to cling. This word is an apt description of today's American society. Ask almost anyone today about the political mood of the United States, and they will begin to describe how America is deeply divided United States. Many believe we have unreconcilable differences as never seen before. This novel seeks to contest this belief and to tell an old American story when our political cleave, a division, led to dreadful violence, right or wrong, but ultimately to a cleave, a clinging together and eventually the birth of a United States of America. What is often lost to most in a simple narrative of pre-Revolutionary history is the turmoil up and down the Atlantic Coast preceding and following the Tea Party in Boston. Our ship, the brigantine Peggy Stewart, sailed into infamy in this 1774 sea of turmoil on American land. Ordinary folks like you and I--farmers, merchants, seamen, and labors--were pulled and pushed by the tides and winds of social change. So we were then, so we are today. Are you aboard 2.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Can you envision a time in America when it seemed our society was cleaving apart at the seams A time when it appeared that our treasured democracy was failing A time when insurrectionists threatened the Constitution A time when rampant political partisanship ruled everyday news A time when a prominent politician attempted to override the Electoral College and US House of Representatives to steal a presidential election Does such a cleave in American society sound familiar Perhaps it does, but the word cleave is worth a deeper look. It is an unusual word that although spelled and pronounced the same, has exact opposite meanings: cleave as in 'to divide' and cleave as in 'to cling.' If we look beyond factors that cleave us apart, we may find a glue to cleave us together. Times of cleaving are more common in our Nation's history than you might have envisioned.The turn of the century, 1800, was one such time. Would these new loosely-united states remain united Many were looking to the States' western edges, the Borderland, for opportunity. All Americans knew there was a great barrier standing between them and the new lands on the wilderness side of the towering Allegheny Mountains. They believed conquering this Eastern Continental Divide was the ticket to life, liberty, and happiness. There was a road, a mere trail, to lead the courageous who sought this new life.No power on Earth could stop the movement, the cleaving apart, of the Americans in the east from those migrating to the western lands along the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers. At the same time, a greater power poured out a road of faith to ensure these people could cleave together. Walk this road over the Continental Divide with me to envision America's destiny.…
