A rollicking, character-driven narrative history about the nineteenth-century radicals--from Fanny Wright and Henry David Thoreau to John Brown and William Lloyd Garrison--who demanded that the United States live up to its revolutionary ideals, and what their successes and failures can teach us today July 4, 1826, marked a turning point for the young United States. Even as Americans lit firecrackers to celebrate their country's fiftieth birthday, both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were on their deathbeds. They left behind a country with a solid political system and a growing economy--as well as increasing political division over slavery, which still tarnished the "land of the free." Luckily, a new generation of political thinkers was ready to take up the mantle and finish the revolution the Founding Fathers had started. They were men and women, black and white, fiercely devoted to a variety of causes that put them outside the mainstream: from the brilliant heiress Fanny Wright, whose choice to speak in front of mixed-gender crowds created almost as much scandal as her calls to destroy the institution of marriage; to the radical abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, whose nonviolent principles would be tested as the conflict over slavery pushed the nation to its breaking point; to the black nationalist Martin Delany, who smuggled escaped slaves across the Canadian border and funded John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry--only to ally himself with Southern Confederates after the Civil War. Tracing the period from 1824 to Reconstruction, American Radicals: How Nineteenth-Century Counterculture Shaped the Nation rediscovers these largely forgotten figures, and others, in all their heroism and complexity, and in so doing adds to our understanding of an often neglected but crucial period in America's stop-and-go journey toward living up to its promises. The result is a surprising, panoramic work of narrative history, one that offers important lessons for today's generation of radicals and resisters.Binding Type: Hardcover

Great general purpose, inexpensive mouse.
Color: Grey
For the price, it’s an outstanding mouse. Have only used Bluetooth mode, and only used it for basic computer operations (not gaming), but feels responsive and comfortable. Great battery life.

A great mouse for the price.
Color: Grey
This mouse is a great value and works well! It was extremely easy to connect to Bluetooth on my Microsoft Surface. I have also used it connected via the included dongle to my home PC.
The USB type C charge port is really appreciated to minimize the number of cables that need to be carried to charge everything. It lasts a great amount of time between charges.
My only minor complaint is that my large hands have a bit of difficulty holding it. I understand that it is a portable mouse intended to take on the go, so I didn't knock of anything for that.

Great mouse and best customer service ever!
Color: White
I bought this mouse a few months ago, and initially, I was quite happy with it. The design felt comfortable, and it worked smoothly right out of the box.
However, after a few months of use, I started facing an issue with the clicks. Sometimes a click wouldn’t register at all, and other times it would register as a double-click, which became pretty frustrating during regular use.
I decided to reach out to the company via email, and that’s where the experience really turned around. Their response was quick, the communication was crystal clear, and the whole process was smooth and hassle-free. Without much back-and-forth, they immediately sent me a replacement mouse.
I’ve been using the new mouse since then, and it has been working flawlessly with no issues at all.
Overall, while I did face a problem initially, the excellent customer support and the performance of the replacement have left me very satisfied. Highly recommend this mouse!
