Wade Hampton $17.48 On the eve of the American Civil War, Wade Hampton, one of the wealthiest men in the South and indeed the United States, remained loyal to his native South Carolina as it seceded from the Union. Raising his namesake Hampton Legion of soldiers, he eventually became a lieutenant general of Confederate cavalry after the death of the legendary J. E. B. Stuart. Hampton’s highly capable, but largely unheralded, military leadership has long needed a modern treatment. After the war, Hampton returned to South Carolina, where chaos and violence reigned as Northern carpetbaggers, newly freed slaves, and disenfranchised white Southerners battled for political control of the devastated economy. As Reconstruction collapsed, Hampton was elected governor in the contested election of 1876 in which both the governorship of South Carolina and the American presidency hung in the balance. While aspects of Hampton’s rise to power remain controversial, under his leadership stability returned to state government and rampant corruption was brought under control. Hampton then served in the U.S. Senate from 1879 to 1891, eventually losing his seat to a henchman of notorious South Carolina governor "Pitchfork" Ben Tillman, whose blatantly segregationist grassroots politics would supplant Hampton’s genteel paternalism. In Wade Hampton, Walter Brian Cisco provides a comprehensively researched, highly readable, and long-overdue treatment of a man whose military and political careers had a significant impact upon not only South Carolina, but America. Focusing on all aspects of Hampton’s life, Cisco has written the definitive military-political overview of this fascinating man. Winner of the 2006 Douglas Southall Freeman Award. |

The Murder of Fred Hampton (DVD) $23.4 As he lay asleep in bed, famed Blank Panther Party leader Fred Hampton was shot and killed by Chicago police in 1969. Already at work on a documentary about Hampton, filmmakers Mike Gray and Howard Alk soon rushed to the crime scene, recording moments that would prove crucial in contradicting police testimony. Passionate and gritty (those expecting objectivity should note the "murder" in its title), this powerful documentary examines the strange events surrounding Hampton`s death, the courtroom battles that followed, and, of course, the film`s initial subject: the extraordinary life of the celebrated community activist Fred Hampton. |
