  • “The Wisest Radical of All”: Reelection (September-November, 1864)
    Chapter Thirty-four “The Wisest Radical of All”: Reelection (September-November, 1864) The political tide began turning on August 29 when the Democratic national convention met in Chicago, where Peace Democrats were unwilling to remain in the background. Lincoln had accurately predicted that the delegates “must nominate a Peace Democrat on a war platform, or a War Democrat on a peace platform; and I personally can’t say that I care much which they do.”1 The convention took the latter course, nominating George McClellan for president and adopting a platform which declared the war “four years of failure” and demanded that “immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hostilities, with a view to an ultimate convention of the states, or other peaceable means, to the end that, at the earliest practicable moment, peace may be restored on the basis of the Federal Union of the States.” This “peace plank,” the handiwork of Clement L. Vallandigham, implicitly rejected Lincoln’s Niagara Manifesto; the Democrats would require only union as a condition for peace, whereas the Republicans insisted on union and emancipation. The platform also called for the restoration of “the rights of the States 1 Noah Brooks, Washington, D.C., in Lincoln’s Time, ed. Herbert Mitgang (1895; Chicago: Quadrangle Books, 1971), 164. 3726 Michael Burlingame – Abraham Lincoln: A Life – Vol. 2, Chapter 34 unimpaired,” which implied the preservation of slavery.2 As McClellan’s running mate, the delegates chose Ohio Congressman George Pendleton, a thoroughgoing opponent of the war who had voted against supplies for the army. As the nation waited day after day to see how McClellan would react, Lincoln wittily opined that Little Mac “must be intrenching.” More seriously, he added that the general “doesn’t know yet whether he will accept or decline.

  • Oberlin and the Fight to End Slavery, 1833-1863
    "Be not conformed to this world": Oberlin and the Fight to End Slavery, 1833-1863 by Joseph Brent Morris This thesis/dissertation document has been electronically approved by the following individuals: Baptist,Edward Eugene (Chairperson) Bensel,Richard F (Minor Member) Parmenter,Jon W (Minor Member) “BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD”: OBERLIN AND THE FIGHT TO END SLAVERY, 1833-1863 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Joseph Brent Morris August 2010 © 2010 Joseph Brent Morris “BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD”: OBERLIN AND THE FIGHT TO END SLAVERY, 1833-1863 Joseph Brent Morris, Ph. 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.

  • HARRIET TUBMAN (1820 – 1913) Was Born Araminta "Minty" Ross to Slave Parents, Harriet ("Rit") Green and Ben Ross
    HARRIET TUBMAN (1820 – 1913) was born Araminta "Minty" Ross to slave parents, Harriet ("Rit") Green and Ben Ross. She lived with them, and her eight brothers and sisters on the Brodess family plantation in Dorchester County, Maryland. As a girl, Minty was often beaten and whipped by the many masters to whom she was hired out. Five years after marrying a free black man, John Tubman, Harriet escaped slave life in 1849. Months later, after saving money from odd jobs, and buying her husband a suit, she made her way back south to rescue her family and find John. But he had already married another woman and insisted that he was happy where he was. So, she said goodbye to John forever, leading slaves north to Philadelphia who were desperate enough to run for freedom. For eleven years, Harriet returned again and again to the Eastern Shore of Maryland, leading hundreds more slaves north in at least thirteen expeditions, including her three brothers, their wives and many of their children. Once the Fugitive Slave Law was passed in 1850, Harriet guided her “passengers” even farther north, all the way to Canada, and helped newly freed slaves find work there. Large rewards were offered for Harriet’s capture, but few of Hatt’s runaways even knew her name and couldn’t have identified her had they been caugh. Her dangerous work took great courage, faith and skill, often trekking in the bitter cold of winter, when nights were long and her “passengers” wouldn’t be seen. Despite the best efforts of the slave masters, Hatt was never caught, and neither were the fugitives she led.

  • Notions on “Glory” North Versus South
    Notions on “Glory” North versus South Different developments in the North and South ● North and South divided by the Mason-Dixon Line, originally the boundary between Maryland and Pennsylvania in the United States. ● Line was surveyed by two Englishmen, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon (astronomers) , to define the boundaries of land grants of the Penns from Pennsylvania and the Calverts from Maryland. ● There was border violence. ● Mason and Dixon were asked to determine the exact boundary between the two colonies by the king. ● The line was marked using stones, with Pennsylvania’s crest on one side and Maryland’s on the other. ● In 1763, colonists were protesting the Proclamation of 1763, this is when they started this idea. ● Proclamation Act - prevented colonists from settling beyond the Appalachians ● In 1767, the colonies were fighting with the Parliament over the Townshend Acts. ● Townshend Acts - Raised revenue for the empire by taxing common imports ● In late 1700s, the states of the Mason-Dixon line would begin arguing about the south side wanting to keep slavery and the north side not wanting that. ● The Missouri Compromise of 1820 accepted the states south of the line as slave-holding and north side as free. ● Pennsylvania - north ● Maryland - south ● The climate in the North didn’t support big farms and plantations. ● North - less religious, more urbanised. Abolitionist movement ● - a social and political push for the emancipation of all slaves and the end of racial discrimination (1830s-1870 militant crusade) ● Prominent in Northern churches and politics beginning in the 1830s ● Contributed to the fight between North and South leading up to the Civil War.

Here is a summary of his life: Samuel D. Burris (1813-1863) was born a free man of color in the Willow Grove area of western Kent County. His parents, George and Mary Burrows, were also free people and lived in the same area. He was married to Catherine, who was from Maryland, and they had five children. In 1845, Burris first surfaces in documenta- tion working as a Underground Railroad “Conductor,” that is, a person who would physically lead people from safe place to safe place through the state. Delaware was a divided landscape, and in the mid-19th C. that meant slaveholding interests and freedom-promoting interests were present across the state. For example, the Camden area in Kent County Samuel D.
