His affability made the academic journey from B.A. to Ph.D more enjoyable than it should have been. Moreover, his encouragement and advice proved instrumental during the writing process. I would also like to thank my dissertation committee. Dane Kennedy offered much needed writing advice in addition to marshalling his considerable expertise in British history. Nemata Blyden supported my tentative endeavors in African history and proffered early criticism to frame the dissertation. Eve Rosenhaft and Jessica Krug provided significant feedback to conceptualize how the case study of German Togoland fits within the Atlantic world. Moreover, the dissertation would not have been possible without the financial support from The George Washington University and the German Academic Exchange Service. Within The George Washington University’s History Department, I was privileged to participate in seminars led by Marcy Norton and Katrin Schultheiss. My colleagues within the graduate program deserve special mention: Matt Bias, Holly Polish, Kate Densford, Bob Isaacson, Martin Margolis, Matt Gibson, Andreas Meyris, Zayad Bangash, Lauren Jeanette, Chelsea Davis, and Naz Yucel. The Diplomacy games were instrumental in learning the origins of the First World War. Finally, Kelsey Flynn provided constant friendship and support throughout the years. Thank you to my mother and father, Sandra and Donald Garratt. They supported me in each endeavor I have undertaken and thoughtfully inquired about my research in German slaveholding. I completed this doctoral program, because my loving and iv understanding wife, Sarah Garratt, believed in my abilities as a historian. v Abstract of Dissertation “Children of the Chain and Rod”: The Evolution of Christianity and German Slaveholding in Eweland, 1847-1914 This dissertation reassesses abolition within the German Empire. Germany’s West African colony, Togoland, was paradoxically both a haven for slavery and a model for manumission for the Empire’s African protectorates. Prior to colonization, the protestant North German Mission established a presence in the region where the trade in human chattel was largely unhindered. The mission embraced slaveholding, purchasing approximately 150 children and dispossessing them of their family and lineage. The mission benefited from the children’s labor and their orphaned status, which made them receptive to Christianity. After the colony’s establishment in 1884, the colonial governor denied the slave trade’s existence. Public agitation by German scholar Gottlob Adolf Krause and his subsequent petitions in the Reichstag instigated colonial reform. The governor issued multiple decrees ending aspects of the slave trade in the region. Consequently, the Foreign Office ordered that German East Africa and Cameroon emulate Togoland’s modified abolition. Despite the de jure measures, German use of indentured labor continued. In Lomé, West Africans organized a political campaign in 1913 demanding an end to slaveholding under German colonialism. Whereas German East Africa has received the most attention from scholars who study German abolition, I question this privileged position in the field. German slaveholding began in the 1850s under religious auspices and continued until the beginning of the First World War. Advocated by G.A. Krause, abolition in the West African colony was secular. The dissertation revises the historical assumption that vi missionaries and colonial states cooperated to end the domestic slave trade in the late nineteenth century. Moreover, with the impetus to expand conceptions of German colonialism and its antecedents, this project is at once an investigation that highlights how Germans interacted with the “exploitable world” that Geof Eley discussed in German Colonialism in a Global Age , and also an attempt to highlight the modest, albeit significant, efforts to resist German colonialism, slaveholding, and Christianity. vii Table of Contents Acknowledgments ........................................................................................................ iv Abstract of Dissertation ................................................................................................ vi List of Figures....................................................................................................................ix Chapter 1: Introduction.......................................................................................................1 Chapter 2: The Ransomed Children: The North German Mission’s Participation in the West African Slave Trade, 1847-1884 ................................................................. 40 Chapter 3: The Suffering Servants and the Heathen’s Heart: The Ideology of the North German Mission in West Africa .......................................................................... 77 Chapter 4: “He himself held the quill and made the cross”: Ewe and Missionary Resistance to German Colonial Expansion ................................................................... 118 Chapter 5: Slave Den and Model Colony: Slavery and Colonial Reform in Togoland and the Kaiserreich ...................................................................................................... 159 Chapter 6: “Children of the Chain and Rod”: German Alienation and Togolese Resistance to Colonialism ........................................................................................... 196 Chapter 7: Conclusion...............................................................................................228 Bibliography ............................................................................................................... 240 viii List of Figures Map of Eweland and its surrounding territories in 1905....………...................……….…54 The North German Mission’s Register of Ransomed Children and Renounced Names, 1863………….............................................................................................………………..56 Survey of Nyambo by the German Togo Company, 1903…………….......……………..146 Survey of Nyambo by Hans Gruner, Director of the Land Commission, 1904...............147 Map of Lomé in 1896......................................................................................................204 ix Chapter 1: Introduction In 1847, the North German Mission arrived in Eweland, currently in southeastern Ghana and southern Togo. The mission evangelized among the disparate Ewe communities, which had migrated from eastern West Africa in the seventeenth century and settled in the region east of Lake Volta. To expand the mission congregation, the North German Mission (NGM) purchased enslaved children and educated them to become lay preachers. From the 1850s to the early 1900s, the NGM transitioned from an institution that depended on slaveholding to a missionary society proclaiming itself as a protector of Ewe communities. The NGM was not a successful enterprise until the successful implementation of the so-called ransoming program in the late 1850s and early 1860s. The mission “spliced” itself onto existing slave trade networks to further its institutional expansion, because it failed to initially attract converts through evangelizing. Furthermore, the NGM did not actively attempt to end slaveholding as the mission frequently baptized both slaveholders and enslaved individuals. After the NGM’s expansion in Eweland, Germany embarked on creating an overseas empire in 1884. Sending academic and military expeditions to sign treaties across the continent, Germany established four colonies in Africa: Cameroon, German South West Africa, German East Africa, and German Togoland. German officials in Togoland coordinated their efforts with the NGM to establish and administer the colony; however, the NGM’s opposition to new merchant companies that threatened Christian congregations divided the cross and the flag. Nevertheless, both the colonial state in Togoland and the NGM relied on slavery as cornerstones for their respective institutions. While colonial officials ostensibly supported abolishing slavery based on the Treaty of 1 Berlin and the Brussels Act, they resisted addressing it until Gottlob Adolf Krause, a German linguist who

  • The Mis-Education of the African Child: the Evolution of British Colonial Education Policy in Southern Nigeria, 1900–1925
    Athens Journal of History - Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2021 – Pages 141-162 The Mis-education of the African Child: The Evolution of British Colonial Education Policy in Southern Nigeria, 1900–1925 By Bekeh Utietiang Ukelina Education did not occupy a primal place in the European colonial project in Africa. The ideology of "civilizing mission", which provided the moral and legal basis for colonial expansion, did little to provide African children with the kind of education that their counterparts in Europe received. Throughout Africa, south of the Sahara, colonial governments made little or no investments in the education of African children. In an attempt to run empire on a shoestring budget, the colonial state in Nigeria provided paltry sums of grants to the missionary groups that operated in the colony and protectorate. This paper explores the evolution of the colonial education system in the Southern provinces of Nigeria, beginning from the year of Britain’s official colonization of Nigeria to 1925 when Britain released an official policy on education in tropical Africa. This paper argues that the colonial state used the school system as a means to exert power over the people. Power was exercised through an education system that limited the political, technological, and economic advancement of the colonial people. The state adopted a curricular that emphasized character formation and vocational training and neglected teaching the students, critical thinking and advanced sciences. The purpose of education was to make loyal and submissive subjects of the state who would serve as a cog in the wheels of the exploitative colonial machine.

Tell us once, where you will begin. In a place where there are already Christians? or where there are none? Where there are Christians you come too late. The English, Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish control a good part of the farthest seacoast. Where then? . In China only recently the Tartars mercilessly murdered the Christians and their preachers. Will you go there? Where then, you honest Germans? . Dear Justinian, stop dreaming, lest Satan deceive you in a dream! Admonition to Justinian von Weltz, Protestant missionary in Latin America, from Johann H. Ursinius, Lutheran Superintendent at Regensburg (1664)1 When China was ruled by the Han and Jin dynasties, the Germans were still living as savages in the jungles. In the Chinese Six Dynasties period they only managed to create barbarian tribal states. During the medieval Dark Ages, as war raged for a thousand years, the [German] people could not even read and write. Our China, however, that can look back on a unique five-thousand-year-old culture, is now supposed to take advice [from Germany], contrite and with its head bowed. What a shame! 2 KANG YOUWEI, “Research on Germany’s Political Development” (1906) Germans in Colonial Kiaochow,3 1897–1904 During the 1860s the Germans began discussing the possibility of obtaining a coastal entry point from which they could expand inland into China.

In all, it uncovers the stark differences in attention given to shipboard insurrections, ranging from significant concern in maritime circles to near ignorance in government circles. Moreover, the nature of discourse concerning slave shipboard insurrections differs from Britons later in the century, when British subjects increasingly began to view the slave trade as not only morally reprehensible, but an area in need of political reform as well.

  • The Ottoman Conscription System, 1844–1914
    International Review of Social History 43 (1998), pp. 437–449 1998 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis The Ottoman Conscription System, 1844–1914 E RIK J AN Z U¨ RCHER The introduction of conscription in the Ottoman Empire of course was closely linked to the introduction of a European-style army, but it did not coincide with it. As is well known, the first attempt to create an army which was trained, equipped and dressed in the contemporary European fashion, was made by Sultan Selim III in 1792. His Nizam-i Cedid (New Order) army by all accounts was quite an impressive achievement in itself. Starting from a strength of about 2,500, the corps had 22,685 men and 1,590 officers in 1806, half of them stationed in the capital, the rest in provincial centres in Anatolia. When pressure against him and his new army on the part of the old army establishment, primarily the Janissaries, mounted, however, the Sultan succumbed without any attempt to use the considerable strength of his new army and disbanded the corps in 1808.1 The Nizam troops constituted a professional army. They were not recruited on the basis of universal conscription, but rather in a fashion which is reminiscent of the system introduced by Peter the Great in Russia or the Bunichah system in Persia.2 Governors and notables in Anatolia (not in the Balkans or the Arab provinces) were required to send contingents of peasant boys to Istanbul for training. Those enrolled in the corps remained under arms for an unspecified period.

  • Taxes, Institutions, and Governance: Evidence from Colonial Nigeria
    Taxes, Institutions and Local Governance: Evidence from a Natural Experiment in Colonial Nigeria Daniel Berger September 7, 2009 Abstract Can local colonial institutions continue to affect people's lives nearly 50 years after decolo- nization? Can meaningful differences in local institutions persist within a single set of national incentives? The literature on colonial legacies has largely focused on cross country comparisons between former French and British colonies, large-n cross sectional analysis using instrumental variables, or on case studies. I focus on the within-country governance effects of local insti- tutions to avoid the problems of endogeneity, missing variables, and unobserved heterogeneity common in the institutions literature. I show that different colonial tax institutions within Nigeria implemented by the British for reasons exogenous to local conditions led to different present day quality of governance. People living in areas where the colonial tax system required more bureaucratic capacity are much happier with their government, and receive more compe- tent government services, than people living in nearby areas where colonialism did not build bureaucratic capacity. Author's Note: I would like to thank David Laitin, Adam Przeworski, Shanker Satyanath and David Stasavage for their invaluable advice, as well as all the participants in the NYU predissertation seminar. All errors, of course, remain my own. Do local institutions matter? Can diverse local institutions persist within a single country or will they be driven to convergence? Do decisions about local government structure made by colonial governments a century ago matter today? This paper addresses these issues by looking at local institutions and local public goods provision in Nigeria.
