About the Book
"Deeply researched, vividly written, and highly original." —Eric Foner
Historian Daniel Rasmussen reveals the long-forgotten history of America's largest slave uprising, the New Orleans slave revolt of 1811. In an epic, illuminating narrative, Rasmussen offers new insight into American expansionism, the path to Civil War, and the earliest grassroots push to overcome slavery.
A gripping and deeply revealing history of an infamous slave rebellion that nearly toppled New Orleans and changed the course of American history
In January 1811, five hundred slaves, dressed in military uniforms and armed with guns, cane knives, and axes, rose up from the plantations around New Orleans and set out to conquer the city. Ethnically diverse, politically astute, and highly organized, this self-made army challenged not only the economic system of plantation agriculture but also American expansion. Their march represented the largest act of armed resistance against slavery in the history of the United States.
American Uprising is the riveting and long-neglected story of this elaborate plot, the rebel army's dramatic march on the city, and its shocking conclusion. No North American slave uprising—not Gabriel Prosser's, not Denmark Vesey's, not Nat Turner's—has rivaled the scale of this rebellion either in terms of the number of the slaves involved or the number who were killed. More than one hundred slaves were slaughtered by federal troops and French planters, who then sought to write the event out of history and prevent the spread of the slaves' revolutionary philosophy. With the Haitian revolution a recent memory and the War of 1812 looming on the horizon, the revolt had epic consequences for America.
Through groundbreaking original research, Daniel Rasmussen offers a window into the young, expansionist country, illuminating the early history of New Orleans and providing new insight into the path to the Civil War and the slave revolutionaries who fought and died for justice and the hope of freedom.

text:
When the email arrived that the Spanish government was looking for American teachers to hire, Ryan Mihm and his wife, Jill Brickson, jumped at the chance. After all, it's not every day that the opportunity comes along to combine international travel with work.
The Summit County teaching duo spent the 2011-2012 school year in Roquetas de Mar, Spain, a small town along the Mediterranean coast. Working with native co-teachers, Brickson (Dillon Valley Elementary, fifth grade) taught science to third-, fourth- and fifth-graders, while Mihm (Summit Middle School, sixth grade) held classes on mathematics, visual arts and English language.
The biggest and most obvious difficulty was the language barrier. Though both Mihm and Brickson spoke Spanish, and the students had been studying English for years, it turned out that learning and practice were not the same thing.
"My goal for myself was to go there and improve my Spanish, but we were in an area of Spain with a very strong dialect," Mihm said, referring to the local accent, which often drops the ends off words, making it difficult for non-locals to understand.
However, they looked upon it as a challenge, rather than a problem. Brickson, who works with Spanish speakers at Dillon Valley, and has a background in bilingual studies, found value in the experience.
"It was interesting for me to be on the flip side. I was the one going through the language-acquisition process," she said. "A person can read books, write papers, but without living in another culture, you can't really understand what it is to be an outsider. That experience, it was powerful."
Mihm agreed. "I could tell that the students had been taught English from a memorization standpoint, but hadn't ever had to use it in conversation. My goal was to get them to speak and to practice. It was the most demanding job I had ever had."
Their hard work paid off, and by the end of the year they had developed meaningful connections and relationships with their students. Mihm even coached a group of 12 students into a high-placing position within an academic competition of English skills, which he describes as a success, and great fun.
"It was a great experience to sit down with kids who wanted to learn and wanted to be there."
Another benefit was that Brickson and Mihm were able to experience the education system of another country firsthand. Their American perspective influenced, and was influenced by, the perspectives of their Spanish colleagues.
Summing up complex educational systems into brief statements is no easy task, though they tried their best to describe accurate comparisons. There are differences in teaching style - Spanish schools focus more on memorization and repetition, while Americans take a more hands-on approach. Often, Spanish teachers are moved around to different schools, while American teachers tend to stay in the same groups and communities. In Spain, the national government controls the school system, while in the United States schools are run on the local level.
Brickson offered an analogy about the difference in teaching styles. "Teaching, in the region we were in, was more like reading a recipe that had already been written down, following direction and then making the recipe," she said. On the other hand, "U.S.A. education would be [like] providing students the opportunity to create a new recipe, then they get to test the recipe and they make changes."
In her science classes, Brickson had her students perform experiments.
"The first one was a disaster because they were so excited we couldn't learn anything," she said. "But by the end of the year they were really enjoying the hands on."
Both said that teaching in a different system allowed them, upon return, to appreciate the opportunities and services available to students in the United States.
"As a whole, I greatly appreciate what the U.S. offers, specifically what Summit County offers," said Mihm. "I feel like there's really good leadership in this county."
Beneath the differences in curriculum, style and system, on an individual and basic level, the motivations and emotions remain the same.
"Teachers are teachers no matter where they are," said Brickson. "They're teachers because they love kids, and they love what they do, no matter what country they're in."
"Students are the same across the entire world," Mihm added. "Kids want to learn; they just want to be loved and have attention given to them. That was evident in Spain."
Both Mihm and Brickson feel that the experience has enriched them, and allowed them to improve themselves, to the benefit of their Summit County students and colleagues.
Brickson said she had gained "cultural proficiency and empathy for language learners. I spent years studying these things, but I never was on the flip side. So bringing that back to the classroom with students, as well as my co-workers, is an invaluable experience."
The two were also impressed with the emphasis of learning languages, which is prevalent throughout Europe, and feel that American schools would benefit greatly by following that example. Brickson, who works within Dillon Valley's dual-language program, feels Summit County is off to a good start.
"I see Summit County moving in a really positive direction," she said. "With so many international teachers in Dillon Valley, it's an example of our high level of regard for our education. I hope that they get to stay with us for a long time. Everything that I brought to Spain, they're bringing here. It's something to be valued."
Would they recommend the experience of teaching abroad to their colleagues? Absolutely.
"I think it's such a beautiful thing to be able to share [cultures]. Because you're not just sharing the language, you're sharing everything that you represent," said Brickson.
Looking back, they say they both appreciate the opportunity they were given.
"We were really thankful that the school district allows teachers to leave for a year," Mihm said. "We felt that that was valuable, a great thing to take advantage of."
"We are just so appreciative that we work in a community that values the experiences," Brickson added. "They allowed us to go and come back, and we have these great jobs and this great community, which is where we want to be."

Pattinson, of course, has been reported as being officially back together with Kristin Stewart. Which means that he's not even allowed to think about other women.
Then again, they broke up because she cheated on him. So, like, doesn't he have a freebie coming?
The actor, 26, was fuzzily photographed in proximity to the blonde, leading to whispers they seemed "cozy" and "flirty."
No, I don't know who was whispering. So what? The Internet said so and the Internet is never wrong.
"He had his arm slung around her at one point, and they chatted for most of the night," a spy at the Electric Room tells the London Daily Mail. "They looked like they were having a great time, and the girl was making him laugh a lot."
Maybe she was telling Kristen Stewart jokes.
Pattinson reportedly hit the club with a handful pals in the wee hours of Saturday morning and proceeded to sit "really close" to the unidentified woman.
"He looked really happy and relaxed," adds the source, "like he didn't have a care in the world."
Money, looks, unidentified blond women ... why would he have a care in the world?
Perhaps Pattinson was just exhaling from the drama that's surrounded him ever since Stewart's rendezvous back in July with her "Snow White and the Huntsman" director, Rupert Sanders.

About the Book
"Maguire's work is melodic, symphonic, and beautiful; it is dejected and biting and brave. How great that people flock to these magical novels."
—Los Angeles Times Book Review
Bestselling author Gregory Maguire's remarkable series, The Wicked Years, comes full circle with this, his fourth and final excursion across a darker, richer, more complex landscape of "the magical land of Oz." Out of Oz brilliantly reimagines L. Frank Baum's world over the rainbow as wracked with social unrest—placing Glinda the good witch under house arrest and having the cowardly Lion on the lam from the law as the Emerald City prepares to make war on Munchkinland. Even Dorothy makes a triumphant return in Maguire's magnificent Oz finale—tying up every loose green end of the series he began with his classic Wicked, the basis for the smash hit Broadway musical.
The stunning conclusion to the smash New York Times bestselling series the Wicked Years.
Gregory Maguire's Wicked Years series became national bestsellers and the basis for a hit Tony-winning Broadway musical. Now, Maguire returns with the final installment in his transformative work, a thrilling and compulsively readable saga in which the fate of Oz is decided at last . . .
Once peaceful and prosperous, the spectacular Land of Oz is knotted with social unrest: The Emerald City is mounting an invasion of Munchkinland, Glinda is under house arrest, and the Cowardly Lion is on the run from the law. And look who's knocking at the door. It's none other than Dorothy. Yes. That Dorothy.
Yet amid all this chaos, Elphaba's granddaughter, the tiny green baby born at the close of Son of a Witch, has come of age. Now it is up to Rain to take up her broom—and her legacy—in an Oz wracked by war.
The stirring, long-awaited conclusion to the bestselling series that began with Wicked, Out of Oz is a magical journey rife with revelations and reversals, reprisals and surprises—the hallmarks of the unique imagination of Gregory Maguire.

The U.S. Coast Guard has released a series of videos showing that a plug in the well at the center of the 2010 Gulf oil disaster is holding.
The images of the Macondo Well site were recorded earlier this month, when a rover was sent to the sea floor to check on the cap installed more than two years ago. The mission was ordered after an oil sheen in the area prompted questions about the stability of the cap and relief wells.
Images: Wreckage from Deepwater Horizon on Gulf of Mexico sea floor
Officials have determined the plug is holding firm and there is no leak.
"No apparent source of the surface sheen has been discovered by this effort," Capt. Duke Walker said after reviewing the material. "Next steps are being considered as we await the lab results of the surface and subsurface samples and more detailed analysis of the video shot during the mission."
One of the recordings shows an inscription on part of the capping device. It reads: "In memory of the Deep Water Horizon 11" – a reference to the 11 rig workers who died in the explosion and fire aboard the Deepwater Horizon in April 2010.
Another shows the extensive field of wreckage from the collapsed drilling platform. The Deepwater Horizon sank to the Gulf floor after an intense fire raged two days after it was rocked by the initial blast.

SAN RAMON -- Shelbi Zeien has been one of Justin Bieber's biggest fans, ever since she first heard his song "One Time" four years ago.
Shelbi, 17, who has Crohn's disease, will get the chance to meet the superstar teen idol at a concert next month in Denver. All expenses will be paid by the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
"It feels amazing," she said of the chance to meet Bieber. "I've been waiting so long, and I'm super excited."
On Friday, Macy's in Walnut Creek rolled out the red carpet for Shelbi with a send-off party as part of the store's National Believe Day campaign. Shelbi arrived at the store in a limousine with her parents, Dawn and Ralph Zeien, and her best friend, Miranda Vaughan.
They made a big entrance before Macy's staff provided her with a makeover, a personal shopper to help her pick out an outfit for the concert, and she was loaded down with Justin Bieber-related gifts.
Shelbi's mother, Dawn Zeien, said her daughter has been on the Make-A-Wish waiting list for two years and is thrilled to be going to Denver to meet Bieber. She said Shelbi's struggle with Crohn's disease has been difficult.
"There is no cure for Crohn's," she said. "It's just no fun."
Shelbi attends Venture School in San Ramon, which has a flexible schedule that allows her to complete her studies while dealing with her medical condition.
At age 11, Shelbi was diagnosed with Crohn's disease -- a painful autoimmune disorder that attacks the gastrointestinal system and makes it nearly impossible to eat. Shelbi lost a dangerous amount of weight and survived through tube feeding. She has been hospitalized for long stretches several times and had a section of her intestines removed. The disease has prevented her body from thriving and has stunted her growth.
Zeien said her daughter has handled her circumstances very well. "She's your typical teenage girl. But she seems very mature on many levels because she's dealt with this for the last six years of her life. Right now she's in remission and she's doing pretty well."
"You grow from it," Shelbi said of the disease. "I think I'm a stronger person. I don't think I would be who I am if I didn't have it."
Shelbi said her friends are not big fans of Bieber like she is, but they all think it's awesome that she's going to meet him.
She's been thinking about what she is going to say to him when she meets him, but hasn't quite found the words.
"I'll think of something," she said.
Also Friday, a group of students from Fremont's Azeveda Elementary School arrived at the Macy's store in a Contra Costa County fire truck loaded with 39,000 letters to Santa that Fremont school district students wrote for the Believe campaign.
Macy's donates $2 for each letter as part of its nationwide campaign, which raises about $1 million a year for Make-A-Wish.

Lack of windows keeps activity center from opening
Published: Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 10:44 p.m.
NORTHPORT | The new 60,000-square foot activity center at Faucett Brothers Park was supposed to open in October, but three months later the center has yet to be completed.
According to the Tuscaloosa County Park and Recreation Authority, work is still being done on the $8.4 million building, now slated to open March 1. The delay is partly due to the non-arrival of 680 custom, double-paned windows that are being manufactured specifically for the building. Their shipment has not arrived from the manufacturer.
"We don't know when they will be in," said Becky Booker, spokesperson for PARA. "We've talked to the company in Georgia on numerous occasions."
The building has been closed in with plywood so that other work, including completing the interior of the building, could be finished, despite the lack of windows. The pools are filled, the rock climbing wall is finished and treadmills are in place, Booker said. Furnishings are being delivered, it's just that the building itself cannot be finished until custom windows arrive, she said.
On Wednesday, the building's status came up at the Tuscaloosa County Commission. Commissioners asked why the center was not open.
The county has funded the construction, including an additional
$1 million for furnishings, which it approved in August, expecting that the center would be open last fall.
"I don't know what's the delay," said Tuscaloosa County Chairman Hardy McCollum, who added that it had something to do with the building's windows.
Once the 60,000-square-foot activity center is completed, it will be the largest such center the county has built. It will be 12,000 square feet larger than the Bobby Miller Activity Center in Taylorville and will be just outside Northport at Faucett Brothers Park, near the intersection of Alabama Highway 171 and Rose Boulevard.
It will be the sixth activity center built by the Tuscaloosa County Park and Recreation Authority.
"It's going to be gorgeous, designed around nature," Booker said of the center. "The views will be fabulous."
The center will have a large two-level patio area and two pools, including a therapeutic pool and a lap pool. One wall of the lap pool opens onto one of the patio areas, so that people using the pool can also lounge outside.
The center will include an indoor walking track, exercise and aerobics room and a full-size basketball court.
Plans for the center also included a room that will be a branch of the Tuscaloosa County Library, but until funding can be found and until the library decides to expand, that space will remain unoccupied.
The project was originally proposed in 2009, but was delayed while the County Commission debated the cost and questioned why Northport was not contributing more money toward the project.
By the time the project was approved in December 2010, about a year after it was first proposed, Northport had agreed to pay for about $500,000 in water and sewer infrastructure for the center. Northport contributed $200,000 in 2012 for the furnishings and increased its annual funding to PARA from $75,000 to $125,000 in 2013.
Based on 2010 estimates, it will cost about $600,000 a year to operate the activity center, which will generate about $225,000 a year in fees. Local governments would need to make up $375,000 to $400,000 yearly operating deficit.

(Amended May 4, 2001, effective July 1, 2001.)
(2) Examination and Challenges for Cause. - Voir dire examination of the prospective jurors drawn from the jury panel shall first be conducted by the court. The attorney for the plaintiff, and then the attorney for the defendant, and then the attorney for each other party to the action shall then be permitted to propound questions to each prospective juror concerning qualifications to sit as a juror in the action. The voir dire examination shall be under the supervision of the court and subject to such limitations as the court may prescribe in the furtherance of justice and the expeditious disposition of the case. Any question propounded by an attorney to a prospective juror which is not directly relevant to the qualifications of the juror, or is not reasonably calculated to discover the possible existence of a ground for challenge, or has been previously answered, shall be disallowed by the court upon objection or upon the court's own initiative. Challenges for cause may be made by an attorney at any time while questioning a prospective juror, or no later than the conclusion of all questions propounded to an individual prospective juror, or the prospective jury if questioned as a whole, except that a challenge for cause may be permitted by the court at a later time upon a showing of good cause. Challenges for cause, as provided by law, must be tried by the court. The challenged juror, and any other person, may be examined as a witness on the trial of the challenge. Whenever a juror is excused by the court in sustaining a challenge for cause, the clerk shall immediately draw another name from the jury panel to fill the vacancy. There shall be no limit upon the number of challenges which may be made for cause by any party, and it shall not be necessary for any coparties to join in making such challenges. Unless otherwise stipulated in the record by all parties to the action, the entire voir dire examination of all prospective jurors and the court's rulings on all challenges shall be reported verbatim.
(Amended May 4, 2001, effective July 1, 2001.)
(3) Use of Struck Jury. - The Court may, in its discretion, cause a panel of jurors to be questioned and passed for cause in a number equal to the number of jurors required for the final jury and alternates, and an additional number equal to the number of peremptory challenges of the parties. Such prospective jurors when chosen shall be seated in such manner as to be designated numerically with the lower numbered jurors constituting the initial panel and the subsequent numbered jurors becoming the replacement jurors in the event any of the jurors of the original panel are removed by a peremptory challenge.
(Amended January 8, 1976, effective March 1, 1976; amended March 28, 1986, effective July 1, 1986; amended May 4, 2001, effective July 1, 2001.)

SANTA CRUZ -- Well-wishers have left flowers, cards, even two purple hearts in memory of the two fallen Santa Cruz police detectives.
Wednesday, they will have an opportunity to pay their respects with a public viewing of the caskets.
From 3-8 p.m., the public is invited to Santa Cruz Memorial where the closed caskets of Santa Cruz police detective Sgt. Loran "Butch" Baker and detective Elizabeth Butler will be on display, said Santa Cruz Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark.
The viewing, at 1927 Ocean St., will provide another opportunity for residents to honor the detectives, Clark said.
Clark thanked Santa Cruz Memorial owner Randy Krassow for his organization's logistical support in the past week.
"We are forever grateful of their care for us during this time," Clark said.
Santa Cruz police also tweeted Tuesday that they were thankful for the more than $45,000 raised for the fallen detectives' families. Dozens of Santa Cruz business leaders also pledged an additional $125,000.
Donations can be made at www.cityofsantacruz.com and at Wells Fargo and Bay Federal branches.
Thursday, a law enforcement procession will start at 8:45 a.m. in Santa Cruz, and a public memorial for the detectives is planned for noon at the HP Pavilion in San Jose. The three-hour service will feature a number of dignitaries, friends, family and special musical guest James Durbin of "American Idol" fame.
The motorcade departs at 8:45 a.m. from the parking lot at Beach and Third streets in Santa Cruz. It will end at HP Pavilion in San Jose.
Authorities advised procession watchers to walk or ride a bike to the route.
"Parking will not be allowed on Ocean Street prior to and during the procession," Clark said.
There will be rolling road closures on the route, and the procession will take both lanes of Highway 17 at 30 to 40 mph, according to the California Highway Patrol. Drivers can follow but not pass the procession on the highway.
The Santa Cruz Metro Highway 17 Express bus will run from the Santa Cruz Metro Station to San Jose Diridon Station on its normal schedule on Thursday, Metro representatives said. San Jose Diridon Station is about a block and a half from HP Pavilion.
Free bus vouchers are available for riders with special needs, senior citizens or others who lack transportation to the San Jose event. Buses leave from the Santa Cruz Metro Center at 920 Pacific Ave. and 246 Kings Village Road in Scotts Valley.
Bus tickets can be picked up at the Louden Nelson Community Center at 301 Center St. in Santa Cruz the Santa Cruz Public Library at 224 Church St. and library branches in Scotts Valley and Branciforte.
A live feed of the memorial will be shown at Kaiser Permanente Arena at 140 Front St. in Santa Cruz. Doors open at 10 a.m. and the feed starts at 11 a.m.. A second feed will be shown at 11 a.m. at the Del Mar Theatre at 1124 Pacific Ave. in Santa Cruz. Seating is first-come, first-served. No tickets will be issued for any of the events.
The memorial service also will air on Santa Cruz Community Television, KSBW and KION. Authorities ask those who want to attend the San Jose memorial service to carpool.
Because Santa Cruz police will participate in the procession and memorial, California Highway Patrol officers and sheriff's deputies from Santa Cruz and Monterey counties will take on Santa Cruz police duties from Wednesday night to Friday afternoon, said Santa Cruz County Sheriff Phil Wowak.
Offices of the city of Santa Cruz will be closed Thursday to honor detectives. All Santa Cruz firefighters are expected to participate in the procession and their duties will be taken on by Scotts Valley, Aptos/La Selva and Central firefighters.
Law enforcement and many Santa Cruz residents have been reeling since the deaths of Baker and Butler on Feb. 26.
The detectives were at Jeremy Goulet's door on North Branciforte Avenue to interview him about a groping investigation when Goulet shot them to death, police said.
Goulet was killed in a shootout with deputies and police about 30 minutes later.
Police said they have been overwhelmed with support since the officers' deaths, which were the first in Santa Cruz police history.
A memorial garden of the donated plants is expected to be planted in their names outside the police station on Center Street.
