On March 31, 1968, over 500 Black nationalists convened in Detroit to begin the process of securing independence from the United States. Many concluded that Black Americans' best remaining hope for liberation was the creation of a sovereign nation-state, the Republic of New Afrika (RNA). New Afrikan citizens traced boundaries that encompassed a large portion of the South--including South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana--as part of their demand for reparation. As champions of these goals, they framed their struggle as one that would allow the descendants of enslaved people to choose freely whether they should be citizens of the United States. New Afrikans also argued for financial restitution for the enslavement and subsequent inhumane treatment of Black Americans. The struggle to "Free the Land" remains active to this day. This book is the first to tell the full history of the RNA and the New Afrikan Independence Movement. Edward Onaci shows how New Afrikans remade their lifestyles and daily activities to create a self-consciously revolutionary culture, and argues that the RNA's tactics and ideology were essential to the evolution of Black political struggles. Onaci expands the story of Black Power politics, shedding new light on the long-term legacies of mid-century Black Nationalism.

What if I told you there was a way you could acquire land, completely for free? This book is a detailed explanation of how to claim land through the process of adverse possession. It is designed to take you from a mild interest in the subject to being a fully fledged owner of your own piece of land, which you acquired free of charge. It will describe how to claim unregistered, unowned or abandoned land as your own, legally. Every morsel of information you may need for every little step of your journey has been compiled into a manual that will hold your hand through the entire process of finding a suitable piece of land for your needs, placing your claim, getting it in your name legally, obtaining planning permission if necessary, using it, living on it and includes solutions to all the obstacles along the way. The book details examples of my own experience of claiming land in the UK, but the information is relevant to the adverse possession laws in many other countries, including Ireland, the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. This book will change your life. Good luck to all in your search for freedom through the acquisition of free property and land!

Land of the Free is the new set of wargaming rules from Osprey that allow players to recreate the various conflicts that broke out in North America shortly prior to and just after Independence, including the French and Indian Wars, the Revolution and the War of 1812. This set of rules lets players begin their campaigns with small warbands of 10-20 miniatures of any scale and develop their forces over time, building them into armies hundreds strong. A unique system of command points and the need to carefully manage resources or risk becoming vulnerable to counter-attack have to be finely balanced against the need to gain objectives throughout the game, creating a challenging, but enjoyable environment for your armies.

In 1966 a group of students, Boy Scouts, and local citizens rediscovered all that remained of a then virtually unknown community called Weeksville: four frame houses on Hunterfly Road. This book reconstructs the social history and national significance of this place.
