Addressing a huge gap in the historiography of the antebellum United States, he explores the impact of Britain's abolition of slavery in 1834 on the coming of the war and reveals the strong influence of Britain's old Atla 410 0$aAntislavery, abolition, and the Atlantic world. 606 $aSlavery$xPolitical aspects$zWest Indies$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSlavery$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAntislavery movements$zWest Indies$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAntislavery movements$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aEnslaved persons$xEmancipation$zWest Indies 606 $aEnslaved persons$xEmancipation$zUnited States 607 $aWest Indies$xRelations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zWest Indies 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865$xCauses 615 0$aSlavery$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aSlavery$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aAntislavery movements$xHistory 615 0$aAntislavery movements$xHistory 615 0$aEnslaved persons$xEmancipation 615 0$aEnslaved persons$xEmancipation 676 $a973.7/114 700 $aRugemer$b Edward Bartlett$f1971-$01020851 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248206903316 996 $aThe Problem of Emancipation$92416366 997 $aUNISA LEADER 03686nam 2200901Ia 450 001 9910778528803321 005 20230721023332.0 010 $a0-8147-5950-5 010 $a1-4416-3156-9 024 7 $a10.18574/9780814759509 035 $a(CKB)1000000000817814 035 $a(EBL)865692 035 $a(OCoLC)779828190 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000338376 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11929353 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000338376 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10297010 035 $a(PQKB)11536270 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC865692 035 $a(OCoLC)488583422 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse10614 035 $a(DE-B1597)548113 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780814759509 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL865692 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10347238 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000817814 100 $a20090422d2009 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aGun crusaders$b[electronic resource] $ethe NRA's culture war /$fScott Melzer 210 $aNew York $cNew York University Press$dc2009 215 $a1 online resource (336 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8147-6450-9 311 $a0-8147-9550-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFrontmatter -- $tContents -- $tAcknowledgments -- $tPreface -- $tIntroduction -- $t1 Frontier Masculinity, America?s ?Gun Culture,? and the NRA -- $t2 Why a Gun Movement? -- $t3 Framing Threats to Gun Rights -- $t4 Under Attack -- $t5 Fighting the Culture Wars -- $t6 The Politics of Commitment -- $t7 Right and Far-Right Moral Politics -- $t8 The Ties That Bind -- $tEpilogue -- $tAppendix -- $tNotes -- $tIndex -- $tAbout the Author 330 $aNothing conjures up images of the American frontier and a pick-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps view of freedom and independence quite like guns. Gun Crusaders is a fascinating inside look at how the four-million member National Rifle Association and its committed members come to see each and every gun control threat as a step down the path towards gun confiscation, and eventually socialism. Enlivened by a rich analysis of NRA materials, meetings, leader speeches, and unique in-depth interviews with NRA members, Gun Crusaders focuses on how the NRA constructs and perceives threats to gun rights as one more attack in a broad liberal cultural war. Scott Melzer shows that the NRA promotes a nostalgic vision of frontier masculinity, whereby gun rights defenders are seen as patriots and freedom fighters, defending not the freedom of religion, but the religion of individual rights and freedoms. 606 $aGun control$zUnited States 606 $aFirearms ownership$zUnited States 610 $aAssociation. 610 $aCrusaders. 610 $aGun. 610 $aNational. 610 $aRifle. 610 $acome. 610 $acommitted. 610 $aconfiscation. 610 $acontrol. 610 $adown. 610 $aeach. 610 $aeventually. 610 $aevery. 610 $afascinating. 610 $afour-million. 610 $ainside. 610 $alook. 610 $amember. 610 $amembers. 610 $apath. 610 $asocialism. 610 $astep. 610 $athreat. 610 $atowards. 615 0$aGun control 615 0$aFirearms ownership 676 $a323.4/3 700 $aMelzer$b Scott$01134670 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778528803321 996 $aGun crusaders$93867728 997 $aUNINA
