Slaughter which emphasize the early history of African Americans in the United States. It contains material which date from 1667 to 1964, however, the bulk of the material spans from 1792 to 1959. The collection is composed mainly of slave papers and correspondence of African American leaders, abolitionists, and political figures of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The materials include pamphlets, sermons, speeches, reports, correspondence, and legal documents. The collection is divided into two series: (1) Pamphlets, and (2) Collected Historical Documents. Most of the pamphlets pertain to slavery, the abolition of slavery, and racial issues in the United States, African countries, and British colonies. The Collected Historical Documents are divided into eight subseries. (1) People; (2) Legal Documents; (3) Broadsides; (4) Masonic Organizations; (5) Music; (6) Photographs and Political Cartoons; (7) Unemployed Citizens’ Organizations; and (8) Henry P. Slaughter, divided into Catalogs, Correspondence, and Personal Items. The People subseries includes the correspondence and autographs of a wide variety of historical figures. Most of the files contain only one or a few letters of the person, however a few names have a significant amount of correspondence. Letters to and from John W. Phelps , Brigadier General of the 12 th Connecticut Volunteers, document his efforts to organize and train Black regiments for the Union forces. Correspondence while Phelps was camped at Camp Parapet, Louisiana following the fall of New Orleans explain the plight of a large number of Blacks, many of them freedmen, coming into camp seeking food and shelter or protection from vengeful whites. Also contains letters between Phelps and Thomas Webster, member of the Supervisory Committee for Recruiting Colored Regiments (Philadelphia), detailing the Committee's efforts including fund raising for schools for Black children in Louisiana, and the establishment of a training school for officers to command the Black regiments. Several letters from the late 1860s and 1870s indicate that Phelps carried his concern and activities on behalf of the Black man into the Reconstruction era. The Haiti Papers relate to the Haitian revolution from ca. 1791-1804. Includes correspondence of Toussaint L’Ouverture, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Henri Christophe, Alexandre Pétion, Jean Pierre Boyer, which generally concern military details or safe-conduct for individuals. Of particular note is a letter by L’Ouverture of his feelings for Saint Dominque, for France, and for the coming negotiations with the French agent Philippe Roume; and a letter from a Haitian agent sent by L’Ouverture to the United States to reestablish trade following the conquest of Saint Dominque. The correspondence of Frederick Douglass, Sr. reflects his activities as a lecturer against slavery, his feeling that employment open to African Americans was rooted in servility, Douglass's political associations and appointments, and his selection as Minister to Haiti (1889). 1 The correspondence of Frederick Douglass, Jr. is addressed to Magnus L. Robinson and discusses the two men's financial problems, the progress of African Americans, Frederick Douglass Sr.'s return from Haiti, and the 28 th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. William Lloyd Garrison’s early letters to Samuel J. May and Franklin B. Sanborn, discuss the American Anti-Slavery Society, the Liberator (an anti-slavery newspaper), and other figures associated with the anti-slavery movement. Post Civil War letters refer to a biography of Garrison and histories of the anti-slavery movement. The correspondence of Wendell Phillips primarily discusses his lecture schedule with some references to his political philosophy, the annexation of Texas, the slavery question, and Judge Joseph Story of the U.S. Supreme Court. The papers of Gerrit Smith document Smith's concern with the temperance and abolition movements, the Liberty Party, his theory of compensation for slave owners, and his antipathy to land monopoly. Also included in the collection are broadsides and printed circulars. The Legal Documents subseries, also known as the slavery papers , consists of records pertaining to slavery in the United States from 1667 to 1867. They include indentures, slave bills of sale, manumission papers, and contracts. Slave bills of sale mainly represent Bibb County, Georgia, with some from Florida, Kentucky, Missouri and Virginia. Additional materials include contracts for slave rentals during the antebellum years, and indenture or apprenticeship papers for freedmen. Also of note is the extensive collection of sheet music, most of which is composed or arranged by Harry T. Burleigh and J. Rosamond Johnson. The publications of Masonic organizations, especially the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, reflect Slaughter’s own participation in the fraternal world. The catalogs from, and correspondence with, book dealers document the market at the time Slaughter was avidly building his collection. Names in bold are of the former “series” of a previous incarnation of the Henry P. Slaughter Collection. Many citations in older publications refer to these series as separate collections. They have now been fully integrated into the Collection as described. 2 COLLECTION DESCRIPTION SHEET Collection: Henry P.

  • Of Our Nature
    THE BETTER ANGELS OF OUR NATURE WHY VIOLENCE HAS DECLIN ED STEVEN PINKER VIKINC PREFACE This book is about what maybe the most important thing that has ever hap- I pened in human history. Believe it or not-and I know that most people do not-violence has declined over long stretches of time, and today we may be living in the most peaceable era in our species' existence. The decline. to be sure. has not been smooth; it has not brought violence down to zero; and it l is not guaranteed to continue. But it is an unmistakable development, visible I on scales from millennia to years, from the waging of wars to the spanking of children. No aspect of life is untouched by the retreat from violence. Daily existence is very different if you always have to worry about being abducted" raped, or killed and it's hard to deveþ sophisticated arts,learnin& or commerce if the institutions that suppott them are looted and burned as quickly as they are built. The historical trafectory of violence affects not only how life is lived but how it is understood. What could be more fundamental to our sense of mean- ing and purpose than a conception of whether the strivings of the human race over long stretches of time have left us better or wotse off? How, in particular, are we to make sense of modernity-of the erosion of family, tribe, traditiorç and religion by the forces of indívidualism, cosmopolítanism, reason, and science? So much depends on how we understand the legacy of this transition: whether we see our world as a nightmare of crime, terrorism, genocide, and war, or as a period that, by the standards of history, is blessed by unprece- dented levels of peaceful coexistence.

  • Sounding Sentimental: American Popular Song from Nineteenth-Century Ballads to 1970S Soft Rock Emily Margot Gale Vancouver, BC B
    Sounding Sentimental: American Popular Song From Nineteenth-Century Ballads to 1970s Soft Rock Emily Margot Gale Vancouver, BC Bachelor of Music, University of Ottawa, 2005 Master of Arts, Music Theory, University of Western Ontario, 2007 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Virginia May, 2014 © Copyright by Emily Margot Gale All Rights Reserved May 2014 For Ma with love iv ABSTRACT My dissertation examines the relationship between American popular song and “sentimentality.” While eighteenth-century discussions of sentimentality took it as a positive attribute in which feelings, “refined or elevated,” motivated the actions or dispositions of people, later texts often describe it pejoratively, as an “indulgence in superficial emotion.” This has led an entire corpus of nineteenth- and twentieth-century cultural production to be bracketed as “schmaltz” and derided as irrelevant by the academy. Their critics notwithstanding, sentimental songs have remained at the forefront of popular music production in the United States, where, as my project demonstrates, they have provided some of the country’s most visible and challenging constructions of race, class, gender, sexuality, nationality, and morality. My project recovers the centrality of sentimentalism to American popular music and culture and rethinks our understandings of the relationships between music and the public sphere. In doing so, I add the dimension of sound to the extant discourse of sentimentalism, explore a longer history of popular music in the United States than is typical of most narratives within popular music studies, and offer a critical examination of music that—though wildly successful in its own day—has been all but ignored by scholars.

  • Building an Antislavery House: Political Abolitionists and the U.S
    Building an Antislavery House: Political Abolitionists and the U.S. Congress By Corey Michael Brooks A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Robin L. Einhorn, Chair Professor David M. Henkin Professor Eric Schickler Fall 2010 Building an Antislavery House: Political Abolitionists and the U.S. Congress © 2010 By Corey Michael Brooks 1 Abstract Building an Antislavery House: Political Abolitionists and the U.S. Congress by Corey Michael Brooks Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Robin L. Einhorn, Chair This dissertation reintegrates abolitionism into the main currents of U.S. political history. Because of a bifurcation between studies of the American antislavery movement and political histories of the sectional conflict, modern scholars have drastically underestimated the significance of abolitionist political activism. Historians often characterize political abolitionists as naïve idealists or separatist moral purists, but I recast them as practical, effective politicians, who capitalized on rare openings in American political institutions to achieve outsized influence in the face of a robust two-party system. Third-party abolitionists shaped national debate far beyond their numbers and played central roles in the emergence of the Republican Party. Over the second half of the 1830s, political abolitionists devised the Slave Power concept, claiming that slaveholder control of the federal government endangered American democracy; this would later become the Republicans‘ most important appeal. Integrating this argument with an institutional analysis of the Second Party System, antislavery activists assailed the Whigs and Democrats—cross-sectional parties that incorporated antislavery voices while supporting proslavery policies—as beholden to the Slave Power.
