Présentation de l'éditeur
Robert Tuck, who, born at Gorlston, in the county of Suffolk, England, came to Hampton, New Hampshire, about 1638, was A mos Tuck. For a century and a half the family dwelt in the town chosen by its progenitor, but John Tuck, father of A mos, early in the nineteenth century, moved to Maine, taking up his abode in the town of Parsonsfield. There on the second day of A ugust, 1810, A mos Tuck was born. His boyhood was associated with his fathers farm and, save the determination for a college education, his early years moved on according to the cold routine of New England country life. Fortunately the youths courage kept company with his ambition and each year found him nearer the door of the academy. In his seventeenth year the boy dreams came true and the longed for opportunity for learning was at hand.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and political career of a prominent figure who played a pivotal role in shaping the political landscape during a tumultuous era. The author meticulously traces the subject's journey from his early years in rural New England to his rise as a lawyer and influential politician. Set against the backdrop of a nation grappling with the complexities of slavery and its expansion, the narrative explores the subject's unwavering commitment to anti-slavery principles, even at the expense of personal and political aspirations. The book vividly portrays the subject's courageous stand against the pro-slavery faction within his own political party and his subsequent emergence as a leader in the burgeoning anti-slavery movement. It delves into the intricacies of political maneuvering, the power of party loyalty, and the moral dilemmas faced by those who dared to challenge the status quo. The author skillfully weaves together historical events, personal anecdotes, and political analysis to provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject's impact on the national discourse surrounding slavery and its far-reaching consequences. Through a close examination of the subject's speeches, letters, and political actions, the book illuminates the intellectual and moral underpinnings of the anti-slavery movement. It explores themes of individual conscience, political courage, and the transformative power of ideas in shaping the course of history. The book's insights into the subject's life and legacy offer a compelling testament to the enduring significance of principled leadership in times of moral crisis.
