How did medieval Africa impact the direction of the Middle Ages internationally?When most people think about the Middle Ages, they think about Europe. Images of knights, jousting, and even Christianity seem ingrained in our understanding of the medieval era.

We still have so much to learn about this era and how it changed the world.It's time to set out on a journey to discover the empires and people who made medieval Africa so influential.

"Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases" is a book written by Ida B. Wells-Barnett, an African American journalist, and civil rights activist. This gruesome history of lynching in the American South is documented in the book, along with its effects on the African American community. The legacy of slavery, the collapse of the rule of law in the South, and the emergence of white supremacist ideology are just a few of the cultural and socioeconomic issues that Wells-Barnett presents a detailed examination of.

The book also highlights the courageous efforts of African American activists like Wells-Barnett herself, who risked their lives to speak out against lynching and demand justice for its victims. Wells-Barnett's work served to increase awareness of the atrocities of lynching and played a key part in the campaign for civil rights and racial justice in the United States. In conclusion, "Southern Horrors" is a strong and significant work that illuminates a troubling period in American history and the continuing fight for justice and equality in the country.

The Story of Greatville
Set entirely in rhymed verse, The Story of Greatville: A Rhymed History Fable is an anthem to the American ideals of individual rights, limited government, and free markets. This quick-paced, whimsical narrative tells the story of a land called Greatville that is founded on these principles. Because of its foundation on these principles, Greatville becomes a haven of liberty for people all over and a beacon of hope for humanity as prosperity and progress blossom. In time, however, Greatville loses its way when the people abandon these ideals and turn to government and power seekers for answers. Desperate for solutions as things collapse, the people call a meeting to find more government-based solutions. This meeting gets mired in turmoil until a young child delivers a powerful message, a message that unfortunately needs to be heard by young and old alike today in America. This story is both a tribute to America and a warning that we have lost our way. It was written in the hope that America's founding principles are not forgotten and that they can continue to lift humanity as they have throughout history. Never more timely than now, this story, this history, and this book deserve a place in every home, school, and heart that cherishes liberty. Mark Ensomme credits his love of reading, history, economics, philosophy, and politics with inspiring this book. Mark wrote this book with the goal of presenting the ideals of reason, free market capitalism, limited government, and individual rights to his fellow citizens in a unique, simple, and easy to understand way. The Story of Greatville is the culmination of years of a labor of love toward this goal. Mark hopes that this book will become a voice for these ideals and will be satisfied if it inspires others, particularly young people, to speak out against the growing clamor for bigger government and less freedoms. This is Mark's first book. Mark resides in Tennessee with his wife and two children.
