Introduction I have written over 180 books. I think this is the best book that I have ever compiled. The Anglo-Saxons have been given an unfortunate bad opinion about their Race. Let's, begin with the truth. The Egyptians and Romans had Slaves before the Anglo-Saxons came into existence. The England Empire started in the Dark Ages. They were basically many Northern Tribes living in caves. They eventually evolved into the most Powerful and greatest Country on Earth (England). England was wise enough to adopt Christianity as their core Religionist belief of compassion, forgiveness and love. They had the opportunity to believe in Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism or any other Ideology. They chose Christianity because Jesus made more sense to them. The Anglo-Saxons fought many Wars between other ethnic groups. They conquered them and established Colonies around the World. Eventually, they ended Colonization and let other Races control their own destiny.

Introduction The information in this book has been researched and accumulated over a period of many years. You hold in your hands, one of the most important books I have ever compiled. The Anglo-Saxtons have been given a unfortunate bad opinion about their Race. Let's, begin with the truth. The Bible, Egyptians and Romans all had Slaves before the Anglo-Saxons came into existence. Their Empire started in the Dark Ages. They were basically many Northern Tribes living in Caves. They eventually evolved into the most Powerful and greatest Country on Earth. They were wise enough to adopt Christianity as their core Religionist belief of love and compassion. They had the opportunity to believe in Judaism, Islam, Buddhism or many other ideologies. They chose Christianity because Jesus made more sense to them. The Anglo-Saxtons fought many Wars between other ethnic groups. They conquered them and established Colonies around the World. Eventually they ended Colonization and let other Races control their own destiny. By no means the people in this book are the only outstanding achievers, they are the lucky few I chose to put in this book. When history of a people is portrayed as insignificant, history may mean very little to them. When role models of their likeness are presented in a positive way, it will decrease resentment and inferiority or superiority from being breaded into them. When a people discovers positive contributions that their forebears contributed to Society, it gives hope and pride to them. Blacks has made tremendous advancements, and have the same opportunities as Whites to get a good education and achieve what their dream desires at this time in the United States. This is a new United States of America with freedom loving people from all over the World living in peace and harmony together. America finally realized everyone should have the opportunity to participate, compete and flourish in this Nation. There is hope to achieve success and wealth if you work hard and live by the Rules of this Society no matter where your roots began. The time has come for me to give recognition to all people (especially White Anglo-Saxon people), who sacrificed their lives and Political Careers helping Black people when they could not help themselves. Those White people are the "forgotten heroes." Therefore, they will be recognized in this history book. Blacks must never forget that there have always been good decent Americans who wanted to do the right thing in the first place, regardless of race, creed or color. Finally, we must began to realize we all are human beings want the pursuit of freedom and happiness. Last but not least, I love America and it is the greatest Country on Earth. Therlee Gipson

Collection of essays tracing the historical evolution of African American experiences, from the dawn of Reconstruction onward, through the perspectives of sociology, political science, law, economics, education and psychology. As a whole, the book is a systematic study of the gap between promise and performance of African Americans since 1865. Over the course of thirty-four chapters, contributors present a portrait of the particular hurdles faced by African Americans and the distinctive contributions African Americans have made to the development of U.S. institutions and culture. --From publisher description.

This book examines the many ways in which African Americans made the Civil War about ending slavery. Abraham Lincoln's primary goal was to save the Union rather than to absolve the institution of slavery, yet slaves who escaped to Union lines refused to fight for the Union while remaining enslaved, ultimately forcing Lincoln to disband the institution.

When George M. Fredrickson published White Supremacy: A Comparative Study in American and South African History, he met universal acclaim. David Brion Davis, writing in The New York Times Book Review, called it "one of the most brilliant and successful studies in comparative history ever written." The book was honored with the Ralph Waldo Emerson Prize, the Merle Curti Award, and a jury nomination for the Pulitzer Prize. Now comes the sequel to that acclaimed work. In Black Liberation, George Fredrickson offers a fascinating account of how blacks in the United States and South Africa came to grips with the challenge of white supremacy. He reveals a rich history--not merely of parallel developments, but of an intricate, transatlantic web of influences and cross-fertilization. He begins with early moments of hope in both countries--Reconstruction in the United States, and the liberal colonialism of British Cape Colony--when the promise of suffrage led educated black elites to fight for color-blind equality. A rising tide of racism and discrimination at the turn of the century, however, blunted their hopes and encouraged nationalist movements in both countries. Fredrickson teases out the connections between movements and nations, examining the transatlantic appeal of black religious nationalism (known as Ethiopianism), and the pan-Africanism of Du Bois and Garvey. He brings to vivid life the decades of struggle, organizing, and debate, as blacks in the United States looked to Africa for identity and South Africans looked to America for new ideas and hope. The book traces the rise of Communist influence in black movements in the two nations in the 1920s and '30s, and the adoption of Gandhian nonviolent protest after World War II. The story of India's struggle, however, was not to be repeated in either America or South Africa: in one nation, nonviolence revealed its limitations, encouraging splits in the civil rights movement; in the other, it failed, fostering an armed struggle against white supremacy. Fredrickson brings the story up through the present, exploring the divergence between African-American identity politics and the nonracialism that has triumphed in South Africa. In a career spanning thirty years, George Fredrickson has won recognition as the leading scholar of the struggle over racial domination in the United States and South Africa. In Black Liberation, he provides the essential companion volume to his award-winning White Supremacy, telling the story of how blacks fought back on both sides of the Atlantic.
