Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - John Dickinson's LETTERS FROM A FARMER IN PENNSYLVANIA (1767-1768) is one of the most consequential documents in American history. Written in response to Great Britain's unjust taxation policy, these twelve letters were first published serially in the newspapers and then in pamphlet form in multiple editions in several countries. With clear and compelling language directed to ordinary readers, the letters educated the colonists about their rights, galvanized them to resist Britain using only peaceful means, and implanted in them a sense of national unity and a distinct American identity. Dickinson drew on his training and experience as a lawyer, his connection to the land as a plantation owner, and his Quaker upbringing to discuss legal precedent, patriotism, and nonviolent resistance in eloquent and rousing terms. This new edition of LETTERS FROM A FARMER IN PENNSYLVANIA is the first ever annotated by a team of experts on Dickinson, offering key information and historical context.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Why is it that so many Americans have not heard of John Dickinson John Dickinson of Pennsylvania and Delaware was an early leader of the resistance to British rule in the American colonies. In fact, to many, he was the most prominent figure in the struggle for independence, though his Quaker-influenced opposition to violence kept him from signing one of its most famous documents in July 1776. Still, Dickinson, one of the wealthiest men in the colonies, did more to promote the cause behind it than almost anyone else, not only as the lead draftsman in all the national Congresses, but in his popular writing. His hugely influential Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania educated colonists about their rights and instructed them in how to defend those rights in non-violent ways. In essence he taught the colonists to think of themselves as Americans, united in a common cause. Despite his refusal to sign the Declaration of Independence, he continued to serve the nation in a number of capacities--in Congress, as governor of Delaware and Pennsylvania, as president of the Annapolis Convention, as delegate to the Federal Convention, and as president of the Delaware constitutional convention. Because of his close association with Quakerism, he also took stances unlike any other major figure of his day, making him among the first to advocate civil disobedience as a form of protest, freeing his slaves and embracing abolitionism, advocating rights for women, Indians, prisoners, and the poor. He nonetheless volunteered for active service in the Delaware militia during the War of Independence.Despite the key part he played in the country's founding, few Americans today have heard of John Dickinson. Early chroniclers and historians, seeking to create a patriotic narrative and taking their cues from his political enemies, cast him as a coward and Loyalist for not signing the Declaration. Many later historians have simply accepted and echoed this distorted and dismissive view. Jane Calvert's fascinating, authoritative, and accessible biography, the first complete account of Dickinson's life and work, restores him to a place of prominence in the nation's formative years.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the late-seventeenth century, Quakers originated a unique strain of constitutionalism, based on their theology and ecclesiology, which emphasized constitutional perpetuity and radical change through popular peaceful protest. While Whigs could imagine no other means of drastic constitutional reform except revolution, Quakers denied this as a legitimate option to governmental abuse of authority and advocated instead civil disobedience. This theory of a perpetual yet amendable constitution and its concomitant idea of popular sovereignty are things that most scholars believe did not exist until the American Founding. The most notable advocate of this theory was Founding Father John Dickinson, champion of American rights, but not revolution. His thought and action have been misunderstood until now, when they are placed within the Quaker tradition. This theory of Quaker constitutionalism can be traced in a clear and direct line from early Quakers through Dickinson to Martin Luther King, Jr.…
