It’s especially hard in elementary school classrooms, where talking about the worst parts of our history seems at odds with the need to motivate young learners and nurture their self-confidence. Teaching about slavery, especially to children, challenges educators. Those we’ve spoken with—especially white teachers—shrink from telling about oppression, emphasizing tales of escape and resistance instead. They worry about making black students feel ashamed, Latinx and Asian students feel excluded and white students feel guilty.

The Haitian Revolution has been covered numerous times by historians and has sparked different themes, theories, and conclusions. One interesting angle is the white French plantation owners' overall role in the event. Their greed, cruelty, poor workforce management, and moral shortcomings contributed to the slave revolt, and the successful revolution shaped how the United States reacted and adapted its version of slavery.

EARNEST. In. M. A. Norfolk. Va. 511' I u ‘.'a ll. VI. mu m G: ‘l 5 7.4.- $ 3 ' COPYRIGHT. 1914. BY Josmz B. Exxxzs‘r. In. PREFACE. Virginia is one of the richest fields for historiml research; the Negro question is one of the most pressing of our day; the re- ligious is the most neglected phase of the great Negro problem. It could not seem strange therefore that this study should be un- dertaken in the face of such a challenge. It is a fact, not without significance. that of the four disserta- tions issued from the School of History at the University of Vir- ginia, two have had as their subject, the Negro. To the influence of Professor R. H. Dabney, we ascribe this interest. Dr. J. P. McConnell’s dissertation, “Negroes and Their Treatment in Vir- ginia from 1865 to 1867,” U. Va. 1905. is an intensive study of a strategic period in the life of the Negro, and embraces legal. political, social and religious considerations. This present dis- sertation, in contmdistinction to his, is an intensive study of one phase of the Negro’s life in Virginia—the religious—from the date of the landing in Amerim up to the present. The effort is conscientiously made to hew to that mark. Apologists and ex- coriators might shout the praises of the Negro or hurl at him verbal damnation.

He is the patriarch of descendants with a distinguished military and academic history dating back to the American Revolutionary War.
