I need a biography of the author Edmund S. Morgan?

Edmund Sears Morgan (b. 1916 in Minneapolis), an eminent authority on early American history, is Professor of History emeritus at Yale University (1955-1986.) He has written many books on Puritan and colonial history, many of which have appealed to a mass audience. These include Inventing the People: The Rise of Popular Sovereignty in England and America (1988), which won Columbia University's Bancroft Prize in American History in 1989, and American Slavery, American Freedom (1975), which won the Society of American Historians' Francis Parkman Prize, the Southern Historical Association's Charles S. Sydnor Prize and the American Historical Association's Albert J. Beveridge Award. Two of his early books, Birth of the Republic (1956) and The Puritan Dilemma (1958), have for decades been required reading in many American undergraduate history courses. The historian's other works include biographies of Ezra Stiles and Roger Williams, and a book on George Washington.

Black Boy Homework Questions?

Please everybody, I need to answer these questions in two or three paragraphs each (with a quote embedded in there, but I can do that myself) Can anyone please help me here? I'd REALLY appreciate it if maybe one person could help me with a question, and then the next person can answer a different question. And remember, TWO TO THREE PARAGRAPHS PER ANSWER. Thanks everyone, and here's the questions:

1. Discuss Richard’s thoughts on stealing. How does he justify it? Does his justification of stealing imply a justification for the violent way his family treats him as a child?

2. Richard’s mature character is formed both by the kind of knowledge only gained through experience in the world and by the kind of knowledge only gained through reading books. With respect to Richard, does one of these types of knowledge seem more important than the other? Why or why not?

3. What role does hunger play in the autobiography? How does Richard view hunger at the end of the novel? Has his attitude changed?

Oh and I forgot to add that these questions are based off the novel "Black Boy" by Richard Wright. Again, thank you everyone! I TRULY appreciate the help! :D

Does anybody know any simple slavery poems?

Here are the words Stange Fruit by Billie Holiday.. Song about a lynching.. always leaves me crying.
"Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop."

Homework help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee!?

By this posting, you're telling us that you've re-scanned the book, reviewed your class notes, and looked up each item in your web browser, and you haven't been able to do so much as eliminate a single wrong answer.

I find this incredible, in the original sense of the word: a rational person would not believe this. For instance, in all the information about Lincoln's two presidential elections, you haven't been able to find which general ran against him (#20). You haven't been able to identify Lincoln's political party (#7). You searched for "Chief Red Cloud" and "massacre", but couldn't find that answer to #6. You looked up "Civil War" and "Cemetery Ridge" but couldn't do #5.

I see two likely possibilities here:
(1) You have not yet developed the work habits and study skills to do simple, single-item research. You have not developed the reading comprehension skills to handle the textbook material at your level. You have not developed the note-taking skills to deal with the material presented. In this case, you *should* fail the class and back up to recover the missing skills. Passing you through would be setting you up for a *massive* failure in the coming year.
(2) You've simply abandoned your homework to us through laziness or other dysfunctional academic habit. Again, this is something that you *must* fix to be successful, and the remedy is beyond the boundaries of this forum.

I strongly recommend that you go back to the resources you have at your disposal. Start with those look-up keys I suggested above. Apply similar searches to as many of the other questions as you can. It's been 40 years since I had this class, but I'm confident that, with the Internet at my beck and call (and three questions I can answer from "life experience"), I can nail a 18 of 20 on this test within an hour.

Go ye thou and do likewise. When you get *stuck*, post the questions you can't get, explain to us where you're stuck on each, and we'll help with the rough spots. As you've already seen, if you simply abandon the entire assignment to us, we tend to figure that you're simply cheating, and we ignore you.

What was Gore's metaphorical name in Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and American Slave?

Gore's name made Douglass think of "gore", as in the bloody, brutal, violent manner with which Gore treated the slaves. An example is what Gore did to the slave Demby:

"...[Mr. Gore] raised his musket to his face, taking deadly aim at his standing victim, and in an instant poor Demby was no more; his mangled body sank out of sight, and blood and brains marked the water where he had stood." (p.27 in the link)

What is uncle toms cabin about?

Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly is an anti-slavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Published in 1852, the novel "helped lay the groundwork for the Civil War", according to Will Kaufman.

Stowe, a Connecticut-born teacher at the Hartford Female Academy and an active abolitionist, featured the character of Uncle Tom, a long-suffering black slave around whom the stories of other characters revolve. The sentimental novel depicts the reality of slavery while also asserting that Christian love can overcome something as destructive as enslavement of fellow human beings.

Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century and the second best-selling book of that century, following the Bible. It is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s.[7] In the first year after it was published, 300,000 copies of the book were sold in the United States; one million copies were sold in Great Britain. In 1855, three years after it was published, it was called "the most popular novel of our day." The impact attributed to the book is great, reinforced by a story that when Abraham Lincoln met Stowe at the start of the Civil War, Lincoln declared, "So this is the little lady who started this great war." The quote is apocryphal; it did not appear in print until 1896, and it has been argued that "The long-term durability of Lincoln's greeting as an anecdote in literary studies and Stowe scholarship can perhaps be explained in part by the desire among many contemporary intellectuals ... to affirm the role of literature as an agent of social change."

The book and the plays it inspired helped popularize a number of stereotypes about black people. These include the affectionate, dark-skinned "mammy"; the "pickaninny" stereotype of black children; and the "Uncle Tom", or dutiful, long-suffering servant faithful to his white master or mistress. In recent years, the negative associations with Uncle Tom's Cabin have, to an extent, overshadowed the historical impact of the book as a "vital antislavery tool."

Have a pleasant day.
