OF MISS., THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, STUDENTS, AND SLAVERY 137 The University of Mississippi, the Board of Trustees, Students, and Slavery: 1848-1860 by Elias J. Baker The ongoing public and scholarly discussions about many Americans’ widespread ambivalence toward the nation’s relationship to slavery and persistent racial discrimination have connected pundits and observers from an array of fields and institutions. As the authors of Brown University’s report on slavery and justice suggest, however, there is an increasing recognition that universities and colleges must provide the leadership for efforts to increase understanding of the connections between state institutions of higher learning and slavery.1 To participate in this vital process the University of Mississippi needs a foundation of research about the school’s own participation in slavery and racial injustice. The visible legacies of the school’s Confederate past are plenty, including monuments, statues, building names, and even a cemetery.

PUB DATE 24 Mar 90 NOTE 25p.; Paper presented at the AnnualMeeting of the Organization of American Historians(Washington, DC, March 24, 1990). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150) --Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *American Indian History; *Black History; *Colonial History (United States); Higher Education; *Indigenous Populations; Secondary Education; *Slavery; State History IDENTIFIERS *Florida ABSTRACT The history of the lives of non-white peoples in the United States largely has been neglected although the Spanish bureaucrats kept meticulous records of the Spanish Mission period in Florida. These records represent an important source for the cultural history of these groups and offer new perspectives on the tri-racial nature of frontier society. Africans as well as Indians played significant roles in Spain's settlement of the Americas. On arrival in Florida the Africans ran away from the," captors to Indian villages. The Spanish, perceiving an alliance of non-white groups, sought to separate them, and passed special legislation forbidding living or trading between the two groups. There were continuous episodes of violence by the Indians who resisted Spanish labor and tribute demands, efforts to convert them, and changes in their social practices. Villages were reduced to mission sites where they could more readily supply the Spaniards with food and labor. Indian and black surrogates were used to fight the English and helped build the massive stone fort at St. Augustine. The end of the Spanish Mission system came with the war of 1700, English forces from the Carolinas raided mission sites killing thousands of Indians and taking many into slavery.

  • The Domestic Slave Trade
    Lesson Plan: The Domestic Slave Trade Intended Audience Students in Grades 8-12 Background The importation of slaves to the United States from foreign countries was outlawed by the Act of March 2, 1807. After January 1, 1808, it was illegal to import slaves; however, the domestic slave trade thrived within the United States. With the rise of cotton in the Deep South slaves were moved and traded from state to state. Slaves were treated as commodities and listed as such on ship manifests as cargo. Slave manifests included such information as slaves’ names, ages, heights, sex and “class”. This lesson introduces students to the domestic slave trade between the states by analyzing slave manifest records of ships coming and going through the port of New Orleans, Louisiana. The Documents Slave Manifest of the Brig Algerine, March 25, 1826; Slave Manifests, 1817-1856 and 1860-1861 (E. 1630); Records of the U.S. Customs Service—New Orleans, Record Group 36; National Archives at Fort Worth. Slave Manifest of the Brig Virginia, November 18, 1823; Slave Manifests, 1817-1856 and 1860-1861 (E. 1630); Records of the U.S. Customs Service—New Orleans, Record Group 36; National Archives at Fort Worth. Standards Correlations This lesson correlates to the National History Standards. Era 4 Expansion and Reform (1801-1861) ○ Standard 2-How the industrial revolution, increasing immigration, the rapid expansion of slavery and the westward movement changed the lives of Americans and led toward regional tensions. Teaching Activities Time Required: One class period Materials Needed: Copies of the Documents Copies of the Document Analysis worksheet Analyzing the Documents Provide each student with a copy of the Written Document Analysis worksheet.

Third St. Trail Waterway Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250 904.247.1972 www.publictrustlaw.org Paddling Guide Jody Hetchka© © www.Kayakamelia.com “Adopt the pace of nature: Kayaking Quietly In the Midst of Pristine Nature her secret is patience.” We connect with our spirituality in many ways, as Bobby Kennedy, Jr. reminds us – through – Ralph Waldo art, literature, music, and our dealings with others – but nowhere with such clarity, texture and Emerson richness as through nature. When we paddle our kayaks through the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve we are as close to pristine Mother Earth as possible. On a good day the only sounds we’ll hear are those of nature. Most of the time the only sights we’ll see are undisturbed natural wilderness. These sights and sounds would be familiar to the Timucua - Mocama, who were here long before Europeans arrived at “the New World.” A quiet, mindful kayaker is graced with an unmediated experience of the natural world. Try Bald Eagle remaining totally silent for a couple of hours as you glide through the waters of the Preserve – with your senses wide open to take in the dance of life in the marsh – the “phoooo” of dolphins coming up for air; an osprey circling high overhead; the iridescent blue of a redfish “tailing” in the shallows near the marsh. Try, for a couple of hours, to take this all in without immediately putting words to your experience, without a running commentary on what you are doing – just allow your senses to gather in the various sights, sounds, and smells of the area as you feel the marsh breeze blow across, your arms pulling the kayak through the water.
