In the aftermath of civil war and emancipation, Southerners whose lives had been shaped by the slave system had to confront the fact that all people of African descent would be free. Some people - most but not all of them former slaves - rejoiced at the prospect. Others - including most former slaveholders - dreaded it. None of them knew exactly what shape the new order would take, but all of them came sooner or later to understand that the world they had been born into was gone forever. Northerners, too, became embroiled in the creation of a new social system. This documentary history examines the tearing apart and recreation of institutions and habits of thought that freedom required. By the close of the year 1865, and despite competing understandings about 'freedom' and 'free labor', slavery and much of the society that had rested on it had been dismantled. In its place arose the scaffolding for a new South, one premised on contract and self-ownership.

The three essays in this volume present an introduction to history of the emancipation of the slaves during the Civil War. The first essay traces the destruction of slavery by discussing the shift from a war for the Union to a war against slavery. The slaves are shown to have shaped the destiny of the nation through their determination to place their liberty on the wartime agenda. The second essay examines the evolution of freedom in occupied areas of the lower and upper South. The struggle of those freed to obtain economic independence in difficult wartime circumstances indicates conflicting conceptions of freedom among former slaves and slaveholders, Northern soldiers and civilians. The third essay demonstrates how the enlistment and military service of nearly 200,000 slaves hastened the transformation of the war into a struggle for universal liberty, and how this experience shaped the lives of former slaves long after the war had ended.

We've iintroduced you to our first book: Traffic Tickets. Don't Get Mad. Get Them Dismissed. Traffic Ticket Tips, Must Knows, and Much More. After this book was released we got to thinking about the over 50,000 cases that we have worked on and thought; "wow, we've heard some real stories and story tellers over the years." And then the idea hit us, "let's share some of those stories." So we've put together several case studies that will walk you through the facts of the ticket and tell you about our solution that helped that driver "Get Off"; well, okay at least get their traffic ticket dismissed. We've also put together many stories and excuses we've heard from drivers and why their traffic tickets did not get dismissed, these are the ones that "Didn't Get Off." After reading this book, you'll have the knowledge about what worked or didn?t work for other drivers, which will make you better informed for when you get a traffic ticket. And you will, as the odds are not in your favor. The day will come when you see those flashing lights behind you or that quick flash of a camera as you realize that you just went through a red light with a red light camera device.

Let’s get right to the point here: Why do you need this book? Answer: TIME and MONEY. Read on and that statement will make total sense. There is a better way to fight traffic tickets in California...and we know what it is! That’s what we’ve been evangelizing about for the past 11 years while helping tens of thousands of drivers successfully fight their traffic tickets. So what is this “better way,” and what exactly can be done when you receive a traffic ticket? Should you just pay the ticket? Go to traffic school? No, there are better options available. Should you go to court and fight the ticket yourself? Hire an expensive attorney to fight the ticket for you? Those methods could waste even more time and money than your first options. We have better ideas, and we will share them with you in this book. Why should you read this book instead of others? There are many books that deal with the traffic tickets and how to fight them but this is the ONLY book that gives you the best road map of your options on how to fight your ticket. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a system that provided drivers all of their exact same rights under the law to contest a traffic ticket, but also did not waste the court’s precious time and money? Well, we have good news for you. There is such a system, and it’s called a “Trial by Written Declaration.” It’s been around since 1978 and provides unlucky or unfortunate drivers with a very quick, very simple, and very effective solution for fighting traffic tickets. The Trial by Written Declaration process can be found on the back of every single ticket issued and gives drivers an option to contest their traffic ticket in writing. Drivers complete the documents and submit them to the court by mail instead of going into court to contest the traffic ticket in person. This “by mail” option - the Trial by Written Declaration - is the best way to contest a traffic ticket in California and eliminates the need for you to waste your time fighting your ticket in court. Before we move on, we would like to make a bold prediction right here, right now. In the not-so-distant future, the day will come when you will not even be able to go to court to contest your traffic ticket in California. We believe that this prediction will come true within the next 10 years. Why do we believe this? Our prediction is centered on two fundamental principles: TIME and MONEY. Now back to our prediction: The Trial by Written Declaration process is the only way for the court to save time and money and will take contesting traffic tickets out of the courts due to simple necessity. This will be done to reduce costs while still ensuring the taxpayer’s rights. There is no other way. Period. The GetDismissed App facilitates the process for completing and filing a Trial by Written Declaration with the court. Simply take a picture of your traffic ticket and another picture of your driver license, answer a few questions, download the documents and “voila,” your Trial by Declaration is completed for you and ready for you to file with the court. Like we said earlier, this is why you need this book and why you need the GetDismissed App; together, they will save you TIME and MONEY.
