Final Freedom
Author: Michael VorenbergPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139428004
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
This book examines emancipation after the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863. Focusing on the making and meaning of the Thirteenth Amendment, Final Freedom looks at the struggle among legal thinkers, politicians, and ordinary Americans in the North and the border states to find a way to abolish slavery that would overcome the inadequacies of the Emancipation Proclamation. The book tells the dramatic story of the creation of a constitutional amendment and reveals an unprecedented transformation in American race relations, politics, and constitutional thought. Using a wide array of archival and published sources, Professor Vorenberg argues that the crucial consideration of emancipation occurred after, not before, the Emancipation Proclamation; that the debate over final freedom was shaped by a level of volatility in party politics underestimated by prior historians; and that the abolition of slavery by constitutional amendment represented a novel method of reform that transformed attitudes toward the Constitution.

Book Description
Au cours des deux derniers siècles, le champ des agronomies a été traversé par de nombreuses révolutions qui ont constitué autant de ruptures importantes. Alors que ces disciplines se trouvent aujourd'hui face à l'émergence de nouveaux paradigmes comme celui du développement durable, il était important d'amener agronomes et historiens à confronter leurs savoirs pour mieux analyser les changements sociaux et techniques qui ont découlé de ces ruptures. Si pour l'historien, les ruptures s'inscrivent essentiellement dans la durée, pour l'agronome, elles répondent davantage à des questions pratiques de production et de protection des espaces naturels. Et les sciences de l'agronomie ont beaucoup à gagner en intégrant le regard des historiens à leurs propres perceptions des hommes, des concepts et des techniques. Cet ouvrage présente le résultat des réflexions croisées de quelque trente spécialistes européens de ces deux disciplines, réunis à Montpellier deux cents ans après la parution du travail fondateur de Nicolas-Théodore de Saussure (1804).
