The historical and contemporary works, comprising approximately 4,500 primary and secondary educational resources with some surveying the cultural setting of educational thinking in this period, are organized around 26 topics and 109 subtopics with cross-references. Among the educational issues covered by the cited materials are: public vs. private; coed vs. separate; academic freedom, teacher education; teaching and learning theory; and, equality of educational opportunity. In addition to historical surveys and other secondary materials, primary documents include: government documents, books, journals, newspapers, and speeches.

  • The Early Antislavery Agency System in Pennsylvania, 1833-1837
    THE EARLY ANTISLAVERY AGENCY SYSTEM IN PENNSYLVANIA, 1833-1837 By JOHIN L. MYERS* I N THE years before 1830 a strikingly large number of the antislavery leaders of the United States, including Anthony Benezet, Benjamin Franklin, Benjamin Rush, James Wilson, George Bourne, John Woolman, and Benjamin Lundy, lived in or near Philadelphia. Pennsylvania's influential Quakers were the first religious sect to repudiate the practice of purchasing and sell- ing slaves, while the nation's first abolition society was organized in the state in 1775.1 The first national organization to espouse the cause of the Negro, the American Convention for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery and Improving the Condition of the African Race, was founded and thereafter convened every one to three years until 1832 in Philadelphia, sustained in large measure by Pennsylvanians. The legislature in 1780 abolished slavery on a gradual plan and with later laws attempted to safeguard the movement of the Negro to a free status. Since all this was true, why was Pennsylvania one of the last of the free states to estab- lish a militart antislavery auxiliary affiliated with the American Anti-Slavery Society, and why did it contribute so little to the organized antislavery movement of the early 1830's? The contributions of Pennsylvanians to the abolition crusade of the nineteenth century were initially modest. Historians still disagree whether the national leadership of the militant anti- slavery movement of the 1830's emanated from the Garrisonians in Boston, the New York merchants, or Westerners, but few Pennsylvanians occupied vital positions. This secondary role is further demonstrated by the existence in the state of only six of the 221 auxiliaries of the national society in May, 1835.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT In the mid-nineteenth century a compulsory education system was emerging that allowed all children to attend public schools in northern states. This dissertation investigates school attendance rates among African American children in New York State from 1850–1870 by examining household patterns and educational access for African American school-age children in three communities: Sandy Ground, Syracuse, and Watertown. These communities were selected because of their involvement in the Underground Railroad. I employed a combination of educational and social history methods, qualitative and quantitative. An analysis of federal census reports, state superintendent reports, city directories, area maps, and property records for the years 1820–1870 yielded comparative data on households, African American and European American, in which African American school-age children resided. The nature of schooling and the manner in which the household and community advocated for school attendance during this period are also described and compared.

  • The Marriage of Elizabeth Cady and Henry Brewster Stanton and the Devel
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles A Family Affair: The Marriage of Elizabeth Cady and Henry Brewster Stanton and the Development of Reform Politics A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Linda Christine Frank 2012 © Copyright by Linda Christine Frank 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Family Affair: The Marriage of Elizabeth Cady and Henry Brewster Stanton and the Development of Reform Politics by Linda Christine Frank Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Ellen C. DuBois, Chair Although devoted to insuring universal freedom and human rights for more than 60 years, Henry B. Stanton’s historical legacy and his many contributions to antebellum reform have been obscured and even vilified in the shadows of his famous wife, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and his oftentimes tactical opponent within abolition circles, William Lloyd Garrison. Frequently portrayed as the antagonist in his wife’s struggle for women’s rights, as a husband and a father Henry Stanton has become synonymous in the historical discourse with the very oppression his wife devoted her life to ending. Because of this, Elizabeth’s reformism is frequently depicted as having emerged from an imagined unhappy domestic life, rather than from an awareness of social and political inequalities. Elizabeth’s feminism is thus all too frequently explicitly or implicitly viewed as first a private and then a public rebellion. ii Through extensive primary source research, this dissertation seeks to redefine the pivotal moments in the Cady-Stanton marriage to better understand the many reasons, causes, and inspirations that led to Elizabeth Stanton’s leadership of the Seneca Falls Convention in particular and the woman suffrage movement in general.

D. Cornell University 2010 This dissertation examines the role of Oberlin (the northern Ohio town and its organically connected college of the same name) in the antislavery struggle. It traces the antislavery origins and development of this Western “hot-bed of abolitionism,” and establishes Oberlin—the community, faculty, students, and alumni—as comprising the core of the antislavery movement in the West and one of the most influential and successful groups of abolitionists in antebellum America. Within two years of its founding, Oberlin’s founders had created a teachers’ college and adopted nearly the entire student body of Lane Seminary, who had been dismissed for their advocacy of immediate abolition. Oberlin became the first institute of higher learning to admit men and women of all races. America's most famous revivalist (Charles Grandison Finney) was among its new faculty as were a host of outspoken proponents of immediate emancipation and social reform.

I wrote you on the receipt of your letter containing the $25, and can not account for you not getting it. In answer to your first letter I can only say that we have no particular interest here on the subject of religion, but there are some who are going onward and upward “in the good old way”. In regard to the success of our agents; it was poor; brother Wilson went to the West and got about $100 and brother Henson to the South and did not get enough to pay his expenses. Brother Wilson is now at the east and brother Henson goes in a few days. The Executive Council are talKing of having brother Henson go to England after next harvest but there is no certainty of his going; but should he go, I will let you Know in time, so that you may write by him. The colored man who is collecting money in England is a Mr. Dorsey, sent out by M. E. Church of London. He is a man of good character and was regularly delegated by his church to get aid, but since he left this country the church had been divided and gone to nothing and their meeting house is sold, so that now he is responsible to no one for what he does, and I think should be stopped in his efforts.

Some previously folded but all very clean with no foxing or pencil markings. Excellent condition. This small but content heavy collection of printed material from Gerrit Smith’s printing press in Peterboro, New York is a treasure trove of information on the social movements of mid-19th century America. In the words of Gerrit Smith one finds the intellectual foundation of many of the arguments made by reformers on the subjects important to the day. The movements for land reform, woman’s rights, abolition, universal peace, capital punishment, debtor’s rights, Cuban independence, and temperance are just the most important issues that Smith addressed in these publications, and they contain the arguments that were used by those who followed him in the decades to come. Gerrit Smith was born in 1797, the son of Peter Smith, a partner with John Jacob Astor.

  • Emancipation in the West Indies: Thome and Kimball’S Interpretation and the Shift in American Antislavery Discourse, 1834-1840
    EMANCIPATION IN THE WEST INDIES: THOME AND KIMBALL’S INTERPRETATION AND THE SHIFT IN AMERICAN ANTISLAVERY DISCOURSE, 1834-1840 Benjamin David Weber Candidate for Honors in History at Oberlin College Professor Carol Lasser, Advisor Spring 2007 Acknowledgements Professor Carol Lasser has been a dedicated advisor, a brilliant intellectual guide, and unparalleled support throughout my academic career at Oberlin College. To her I owe my sincerest gratitude and unbounded respect. I developed my interest in British and American comparative history and in transatlantic reform while studying with her on Oberlin- Danenberg-in-London Program and I was honored to serve as her research assistant this past summer. Professor Gary Kornblith has likewise both taught and employed me, for which I am eternally indebted to him. I appreciate specifically his role as analytical provocateur, always asking me to think critically about difficult questions. They have pushed me hard while still revealing a faith in my abilities, an ideal combination for an aspiring student of history. These two also graciously opened their home to me and I can hardly find words to express the heartfelt appreciation and love I have for them. The two other Professors to whom I owe the greatest debt of gratitude are James Millette and Booker C. Peek. Professor Millette’s course on “Slavery and Freedom in the Western Hemisphere” helped me to think through my thesis at a critical point and to situate it in historical and historiographical context. He devoted time outside of class to meet with me and was always happy to discuss my work. His suggestions and critical comments were invariably insightful and much appreciated.
