Christensen, M. J. (2012). Rebellious histories: The amistad slave revolt and the cultures of late twentieth-century black transnationalism. State University of New York Press.
i.
In source "Rebellious Histories: The Amistad Slave Revolt and the Cultures of Late Twentieth-Century Black Transnationalism," Matthew J. Christensen discusses Sierra Leone's plight in the early 1990s. This was during global capitalism and a conflict emerged over the spoils of a lucrative global mineral trade centered around diamonds. This led to an armed struggle by the Revolutionary United Front/Sierra Leone military. The Sierra Leone turned into a warzone. Due to the conflict, there was substantial civilian casualties, forced enlisting of soldiers, sexual violence,
and social upheaval. The source highlights how global capital, freed from direct colonial control, reshaped post-independence trajectories, challenging the nationalist premises of development.

In the source "One Nation Divided by Slavery: Remembering the American Revolution While Marching toward the Civil War," the author Michael Conlin, reflects on the symbolic significance of the Bunker Hill Monument in the antebellum American imagination. The monument had a
height of 221 feet and commemorated the North's pivotal victory in the American Revolution. It served as a symbol of Northern resistance to tyranny and became a talisman for abolitionists, invoking the iconic battle for the United States. The monument is situated in Charlestown, which marked historical significance and helped shape public opinion against slavery.

Croft, W. E. S. (2017). The motif of hope in african american preaching during slavery and the post-civil war era: There's a bright side somewhere. Lexington Books/Fortress Academic.
i.
The source from Wayne E. Croft, Sr.'s work, "The Motif of Hope in African American Preaching During Slavery and the Post-Civil War Era: There's a Bright Side Somewhere," addresses the central theological theme
of hope in African American Christianity. Croft explores those pieces of evolution relevant to the theme of African American preaching throughout
history. He concentrates on hope during slavery, he establishes a baseline for comparison with the post-Civil War era. HE also examines how hope was expressed through preaching, prayer, and singing during slavery, and emphasized the importance of hope. The investigation spans from the 1800 Gabriel Prosser-led slave rebellion to the 1864 Emancipation Proclamation, highlighting hope's fulfillment with the abolition of slavery.

Fruchtman, J. (2016). American constitutional history: A brief introduction. John Wiley & Sons, Incorporated.
1.
In this study of Jack Fruchtman’s book "The Slave Republic, 1789–1877," he reviews the pervasive issue of slavery in the early years of the United States. The period after 1820 witnessed intensified debates over slavery, leading to the secession of 11 states, the Civil War, and subsequent Reconstruction.
Unfortunately, the Southern colonies heavily relied on slave labor, with substantial slave populations. People like Thomas Jefferson and George Mason deemed it economically necessary and morally justified to have slavery. Northern colonies engaged in some slave trade as well. The American Revolution fueled anti-slavery sentiments, and leaders like Franklin and Rush became prominent abolitionists. The sectional differences and states' rights debates of the 1820s and 1830s further intensified the slavery issue. The source is from Jack Fruchtman's book "American Constitutional History: A Brief Introduction."

Esposito, J. L. (2012). Pragmatism, politics, and perversity: Democracy and the american party battle. Lexington Books/Fortress Academic.
1.
In the source "Pragmatism, Politics, and Perversity: Democracy and the American
Party Battle," the author Joseph L. Esposito scrutinized the dynamics of the pre-
Civil War American party battle. He indulged in the Whig party's strategies, deeming them baseless and unreasonable, particularly in the context of the Kansas-Nebraska politics and conflicts with economics of slavery. Esposito argues that the Civil War was a result of unforeseen consequences involving politics, slavery, and class conflict. He continues to argue that the war was not only caused slavery but the Republican Party's part in propelling events forward, including their responsibility in the escalating conflict. The Republican Party's supported the "free labor" argument, that centered around the 1850s electoral strategy. Esposito explores how Republicans involved in radical labor rhetoric to focus on slavery and economic issues, directing the disinterested voters.

Harrold, S. (2010). Border war: Fighting over slavery before the civil war. The University
of North Carolina Press.
1.
The source of Stanley Harrold's "Border War: Fighting over Slavery before the Civil War" looks at the event of October 17, 1859. This happened when Governor Henry Wise of Virginia had a crisis triggered by John Brown's raid on the Harpers
Ferry. Brown's attempt to instigate the slave rebellion failed, resulting in him being captured, convicted, and executed. While some saw this as a victory for Virginia, slavery, and the Union, Henry Wise expressed his concern of the disturbance in peace and the threats to slaveholders. Harrold analyzes this conflict
as the tensions grew surrounding slavery and the broader socio-political landscape
of the pre-Civil War United States.

The source covering the New Year’s Day 1831 William Lloyd Garrison was published for the first issue of his new paper The Liberator. It was the beginning of an organized, militant movement against slavery that was unlike anything America had ever seen before. In the following year, Garrison and a small group of people founded the New England referred to as Massachusetts, Anti-Slavery Society, and the year after that they advanced from the state to the national arena by organizing the American Anti-Slavery Society (AA-SS). Garrison and his comrades sought to create a mass movement that involved those who agreed that slavery was an evil and it should be abolished immediately. Although the majority

of supports of Garrison’s Liberator were free blacks, they were pleased that a white reformer understood and supported the black opinion on slavery and colonization. 8.
Meyers, D. (2005). And the war came: The slavery quarrel and the american civil war. Algora Publishing.
1.
In Donald Meyers' "And the War Came: The Slavery Quarrel and the American Civil War," Abraham Lincoln's political reawakening is attributed to the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. Expressing disinterest in politics initially, Lincoln actively campaigned for Whig Richard Yates, opposing the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Despite jeopardizing his chances to replace Senator Shields, Lincoln also ran for the Illinois Legislature. Following the controversial act's passage, Senator Douglas embarked on a campaign supporting it. Lincoln, eager to debate, confronted Douglas after a Democratic gathering in Springfield. Lincoln's sincere condemnation of slavery's moral injustice resonated with listeners, revealing his deep convictions and setting the stage for his influential political role.

Woodson, C. G. (2004). The Education of the Negro Prior to 1861: A History of the Education of the Colored People of the United States from the Beginning of Slavery to the Civil War.
1.
In the sources on the education of pre-Civil War African Americans, the book is based on two periods with the first, until 1835, discussed as the approval of slave education which was pushed by masters wanting an efficient workforce, sympathetic individuals, and missionaries; the second, post-1835, shifted due to the industrial revolution, abolitionist influence, and the fear of slave insurrections.
Southern states used legislation to criminalize education for slave. Some people were motivated to learn by using the bible. Although there were legal constraints there were still sympathetic whites and a few slaveholders facilitating the education for African Americans, even though people tried burning black schoolhouses.
10. Vorenberg, M. (2001). Final Freedom: The Civil War, the Abolition of Slavery, and the Thirteenth Amendment.
1.
In the source "Final Freedom: The Civil War, the Abolition of Slavery, and the Thirteenth Amendment" by Michael Vorenberg, he reviewed the things that led up
to the Civil War as well as the journey to abolish slavery through the Thirteenth Amendment. The book discusses the unsuccessful 1839 proposals by John Quincy
Adams to limit slavery, the resistance faced in the House of Representatives, and the unique abolitionist perspectives on the Constitution. Vorenberg categorizes these viewpoints as radical constitutionalism and a proslavery interpretation, detailing parts of the abolitionist movement. The book sheds light on the crucial parts of the pre-Civil War era and views on constitutional amendments among abolitionists and slavery.
