These four books all have loosely the same topic. How and why we are influenced by others. There are ofc more books but these provide a solid foundation.

Annals of Gullibility: Why We Get Duped and How to Avoid It by Stephen Greenspan
https://libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=3B2BC62985B9CB8C77B232B65E13E5D1
>The first book to provide a comprehensive look at the problem of gullibility, this groundbreaking work covers how and why we are fooled in areas that range from religion, politics, science, and medicine, to personal finance and relationships. First laying the groundwork by showing gullibility at play in the writings of historic authors we all know, developmental psychologist Stephen Greenspan follows with chapters that describe social duping across the gamut of human conduct. From people who pour bucks into investment scams, to those who follow the faith of scientologists, believe in fortunetellers, or champion unfounded medicine akin to snake oil, we all know someone who has been duped. A lot of us have been duped ourselves, out of naive trust. It's not a matter of low intelligence that moves us to, without evidence, believe the words of politicians, salesmen, academics, lawyers, military figures, or cult leaders, among others. Greenspan shows us the four broad reasons we become drawn into gullible behavior, and he presents ways people can become less gullible.Greenspan takes us into the vast realm of gullibility from the fictional Pied Piper to the historical Trojan Horse, then through modern-day military maneuvers, political untruths, police and criminal justice scams, and financial and love lies. While there have been earlier books focused on liars and manipulators of all sorts, this is the first to focus on the gullible who are their victims, and how the gullible can become less likely to be taken again.

i got this first ed. book by Jefferson Davis thats lookin pretty cool. just got through the first chapter it was basically clearing up potential misunderstandings concerning how much states initially gave a shit about the nigs, where they sovernty origin was and stood, and emphasizing that slavry expansion strictly didnt mean more nigrs in number but instead that nigrs as property could expand into new territories n states and basically the missouri compromise was the first cucking of new states sovern power. sum citations here and there which is cool i lik citation n stuff.
heres sum pics of pics n pics of words sorry if sideways i just batch stripped all pics of metadata and that fucks up vert oriented pics and only fixed the two text pics

>so called "Republican"
lel

i thought for the first time answering vary succinct and straightforward while reading this, simply that the response of the North justified the South in seceding. it seems so obvious now that ive thought it i wonder why i havent before and if ive just missed it when other people have said that same thing before. seems lik something that would have maybe even been a popular stance to state during or after the war.
