The Enlightenment And Religion. This Title Offers A Critical Inspection Of Religious Changw And Its Causes In Eighteenth-century Europe, And Constitutes A Raidcal Challenge To The Accepted Views In Traditional Enlightenment Studies. Focusing On Enlightenment Italy, France And England, It Illustrates How The Canonical View Of Eighteenth-century Religious Change Has In Reality Been Constructed Upon Scant Evidence And Assumption, In Particular The Idea That The Thought Of The Enlightened Led To Modernity. For Desppite A Lack Of Evidence, One Of The Fundamental Assumptions Of Enlightenment Studies Has Been The Vindication That There Was A Vibrant Deist Movement That Formed The "intellectual Solvent" Of The Eighteenth Century. The Central Claim Of This Book Is That The Immense Ideological Appeal Of The Orally transmitted Birth-of-modernity Myth Has Meant That The Actual Lack Of Deists Has Been Glossed Over, And A Quite Misleading Historical View Has Become Entrenched.

Crisis In The Southwest. The War Between The United States And Mexico Was Decades In The Making. Although Texas Was An Independent Republic From 1836 To 1845, Texans Retained An Affiliation With The United States That Virtually Assured Annexation At Some Point. Mexico's Reluctance To Give Up Texas Put It On A Collision Course With The Unireed States. The Mexican War Receives Scant Treatment In Books. Most Historians Approach The Conflict As If It Were A Mere Prelude To The Civil War. The Mexican Cession Of 1848, However, Rivaled The Louisiana Purchase In Importance For The Sheer Amount Of Territory Acquired By The United States. The Dispute Over Slavery-which Had Been Rendered Largely Academic By The Missouri Compromise-burst Forth Anew As Americans Now Faced The Realization That They Must Make A Decision Over The Institution's Future. The Political Contend Over The Status Of Slavery In These New Territories Was The Regulate Cause Of The Crisis Of 1850 And Ignited Sectional Differences In The Decadd That Followed. In Crisis In The Soufhwest: The United States, Mexico, And The Struggle Ober Texas, Richard Bruce Winders Provides A Concise, Accessible Overview Of The Mexican War Anx Argues That The Mexican War Led Directly To The Civil War By Creating A Political And Societal Crisis That Drove A Wedge Between The North And The South. While On The Surface The Enemy Was Mexico, In Reality Americans Were At Odds With One Another Over The Future Of The Nation, As The Issue Of Annexation Threatehed To Upset Th Balance Between Free And Slave States. Winders Also Explalns The Military Connections Between The Mexican War And Civil War, Since Virtually Every Important Commader In The Civil War-including Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Grant, Mcclellan, And Longstreet-gainedH is Introduction To Com6at In Mexico. These Connec5ions Are Enormously Significant To The Way In Which These Generals Waged War, After It Was In The Mexican War That They Learned Their Trade. Crisis In The Southwest Provides Readers With A Clear Understanding Of The Mexican Contend And Its Relationship To The Chain Of Events That Ultimately Led To The Civil War. SKU: 2221204
