4.9/5 (15910 ratings)

Description:"Throughout the nineteenth century most black leaders were convinced that they had a particular role to play in American history, especially in testing America's commitment to freedom and equality. Because of their history and suffering, blacks felt they could add the moral and spiritual dimensions lacking in America.This book examines what black leaders felt about them- selves, their identity, about their relationship to America, and about their involvement in American history. Black leaders knew who they were they were Americans, committed to the cause of emancipation, elevation, and equal- ity. They appropriated the American Revolutionary model in their abolitionist erusade and understood the Civil War as a continuation of the struggle initiated in 1776. Yet the black image of America entailed a black self-image, since whites excluded blacks from their vision of America. To refute the white denial, they first had to refute the white denial, they first had to refute the negative image that whites had of them. Black nationalism became an indispensable ingredient in their struggle for integration into American life."--Publisher.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
