Nothing More than Freedom explores the long and complex legal history of Black freedom in the United States. From the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865 until the end of Reconstruction in 1877, supreme courts in former slave states decided approximately 700 lawsuits associated with the struggle for Black freedom and equal citizenship. This litigation - the majority through private law - triggered questions about American liberty and reassessed the nation's legal and political order following the Civil War. Judicial decisions set the terms of debates about racial identity, civil rights, and national belonging, and established that slavery, as a legal institution and social practice, remained actionable in American law well after its ostensible demise. The verdicts determined how unresolved facets of slavery would undercut ongoing efforts for abolition and the realization of equality. Insightful and compelling, this work makes an important intervention in the history of post-Civil War law. Worked examples or Exercises

War. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. And to drive that point home with some stark consistency, these are 10 of the most pointless wars that have ever been waged, 10. The Pastry War Most wars are named in a way that gives you an incline about what they were about or at least between whom. The Franco-Prussian War, World War I, the names make sense. So when you hear about a war called the Pastry War, it’s not unreasonable to be a little confused about what it even means. The Pastry War did have pastry at its root,

The print resolution of 300 pixels per inch gives you a beautiful, high-quality print. However, please remember that how you experience the colors will depend on your ink, paper, and computer settings. Each file is borderless, but many printers don’t support borderless printing and will always give you a white border. Just trim it off, if you run into that, or have it printed. Naturally, the better the paper, the better the print. We've found that lower quality paper gives us darker colors. They're pretty, but not as bright as when we use high-quality paper.

"Powerful storytelling and immersive art." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Vibrant writing and magical realism lift this story to one of triumph." -Publishers Weekly "Nolen's lively prose style recalls the richness of the oral tradition in this tale of triumphant courage and abiding hope." -The Horn Book "A moving choice for children's collections." -Booklist A Parents' Choice Silver Award Recipient In this inspiring story in the tradition of American black folktales, an enslaved brother and sister are inspired by a majestic and mysterious bird to escape to freedom in this dramatic and unforgettable picture book. There was nothing civil about that war. They should have called it what it was: a big, bad war. Brother and sister Millicent and John are slaves on Simon Plenty's plantation and have suffered one hurt and heartbreak after another. Their parents had told them old tales of how their ancestors had flown away to freedom just as free and easy as a bird. Millicent and John hold these stories in their hearts long after their parents are gone. "Maybe such a time will come for you," their parents said. Then one day a mysterious bird appears in their lives. The bird transforms them and gives them the courage to set their plan into motion and escape to freedom. f-c (reflective) spfx: foil, embossing
