British Consuls in the Antebellum South, 1830 “DOUBLY FOREIGN”: BRITISH CONSULS IN THE ANTEBELLUM SOUTH, 1830 - 1860 By MICHELE ANDERS KINNEY Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2010 Copyright © by Michele Anders Kinney 2010 All Rights Reserved DEDICATED TO ANDERS You are my heart ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Several people have contributed to the preparation of this dissertation. I wish to thank Dr. Stanley H. Palmer, who chaired the dissertation committee, provided invaluable encouragement throughout the project, and actively supported my endeavor. He is a wonderful mentor and I will be forever grateful and indebted to him. I also wish to thank the other members of the dissertation advisory committee, Dr. Douglas Richmond and Dr. Elisabeth Cawthon. Their critical evaluations were especially helpful in the structural modifications to my arguments that made the final product far superior than anything I would imagine. I am forever indebted to them. A special thanks goes to the University of Texas at Arlington’s Library staff. In particular, I would like to thank the staff of the Inter-Library Loan program. I also would like to thank the staffs that work at the many libraries I visited for their invaluable help in finding materials: the staff at the British National Archives, Kew, England; Duke University Special Collections; Emory University Special Collections; Georgia Historical Society Special Collections; the U.S. Regional Archives in Georgia; the University of South Carolina Special Collections; and Wallace State Genealogy Collection. I also need to thank the library staff of the Georgia Historical Society, the South Carolina Historical Society, the clerks at Mobile county courthouse, Chatham county courthouse, iv Charleston county courthouse. It is due to the dedication of librarians everywhere that history students are eternally grateful. I would like to especially thank the Dean of Liberal Arts, Dr. Beth Wright and her staff and the Graduate School Dean and staff for their assistance in providing funding for conferences for me to “try out” my arguments to future peers and receive necessary and constructive feedback. I would like to thank Trudy and Ben Termini. It is due to the generosity of benefactors such as the Terminis, that graduate students, such as myself, may travel overseas for research. Furthermore, I wish to thank Dr. Robert Fairbanks, Head of the History Department at the University of Texas in Arlington and Dr. Thomas Adam, Ph.D Graduate Advisor. Both men have shown compassion, understanding, and encouragement when necessary and whose support continues to motivate me and other graduate students to complete their degrees. I would like to thank James Cotten and Robin Deeslie, History Department Secretaries for their gentle reminders of deadlines and forms. I would like to thank the many people that pushed, nudged, and questioned my sanity, and without whose friendship and guidance this study would not have been completed. I would like to thank Dr. John K. Severn for his friendship and commitment and without whom this journey would have never begun. I am eternally grateful and indebted to him. Without Dr. Severn, I would probably still be thinking about pursuing a doctorate degree without actually having done so. I would also like to thank Dr. Dennis Reinhartz and Dr. David Buisseret. For the v many students that later became their friends, their wisdom touches us all. They will always be guiding beacons of light. Finally, I wish to thank my patient husband, Michael, and our beloved son, Anders. Now that I have finally completed this study, we can take a family vacation together as promised. April 20, 2010 vi ABSTRACT “DOUBLE FOREIGN:” BRITISH CONSULS AND SLAVERY IN THE ANTEBELLUM SOUTH, 1830 - 1860 Michele Anders Kinney, PhD. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2010 Supervising Professor: Dr. Stanley H. Palmer Upon ending their slavery in the British West Indies in 1833, Great Britain became known as the “Great Emancipator.” Britain immediately began an official foreign policy campaign to end the slave trade and slavery wherever it existed. In the United States slavery continued to be deeply rooted in the culture of the Antebellum South, causing Britain to give the region a great deal of attention based upon British ethical, moral, and ideological concerns over slavery and the trade. Between 1833 and 1860, activities associated with southern slavery created unique moral and ethical challenges for the Foreign Office and British consuls sent to represent the official Foreign Policies against slavery and the trade in several port cities including Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, and New Orleans. Because no such list of who these men were exists, the researcher created Appendix A which includes a comprehensive list of the British vii consuls sent to the South from 1830 to 1860 and which may be helpful for future researchers. On one hand, the Foreign Office not only had to placate but also to seek trade alliances with the South for the all-important King Cotton for British factories; on the other hand, the Foreign Office continually attempted to promote Britain’s abolitionist principles and ideology. This dissertation shows that the British Consuls, who were the foot soldiers on the ground in the South, were ethically and morally challenged because of what they encountered on a daily basis. Furthermore, the consuls were honor-bound to remain loyal to the British government, its laws, and foreign policy issues. On the other hand, the consuls were in essence exiled persons far away from home surrounded by slavery and slavery economics. However, the details of the private lifestyles they led, the businesses they operated, and the ideologies they espoused during their tenure in office often remained unknown to the Foreign Office because of the great distance between the London home office and the consuls’ duty stations. By examining how these individuals, who lived on the empire’s periphery, interacted with the slaveholding communities in which they found themselves living and working within reveals how far they were ethically and morally tested. Investigating British consuls sent to the South from 1830 to 1860 is vitally important to understanding the difficulties and challenges of Britain’s foreign policy position as the “Great Emancipator” in the Atlantic World. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ............................................................................. iv ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................ vii LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS ................................................................................ xiii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ............................................................................... xiv Chapter Page 1.

    Historic Context Statement City of Benicia February 2011 Benicia, CA Prepared for City of Benicia Department of Public Works & Community Development Prepared by page & turnbull, inc. 1000 Sansome Street, Ste. 200, San Francisco CA 94111 415.362.5154 / www.page-turnbull.com Benicia Historic Context Statement FOREWORD “Benicia is a very pretty place; the situation is well chosen, the land gradually sloping back from the water, with ample space for the spread of the town. The anchorage is excellent, vessels of the largest size being able to tie so near shore as to land goods without lightering. The back country, including the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, is one of the finest agriculture districts in California. Notwithstanding these advantages, Benicia must always remain inferior in commercial advantages, both to San Francisco and Sacramento City.”1 So wrote Bayard Taylor in 1850, less than three years after Benicia’s founding, and another three years before the city would—at least briefly—serve as the capital of California. In the century that followed, Taylor’s assessment was echoed by many authors—that although Benicia had all the ingredients for a great metropolis, it was destined to remain in the shadow of others. Yet these assessments only tell a half truth. While Benicia never became the great commercial center envisioned by its founders, its role in Northern California history is nevertheless one that far outstrips the scale of its geography or the number of its citizens. Benicia gave rise to the first large industrial works in California, hosted the largest train ferries ever constructed, and housed the West Coast’s primary ordnance facility for over 100 years.

A. T. HALL THE VICTOR VANQUISHED EMANCIPATION IN ST. CROIXJ ITS ANTECEDENTS AND IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH INTRODUCTION The slave uprising of 2-3 July 1848 in St. Croix, Danish West Indies, belongs to that splendidly isolated category of Caribbean slave revolts which succeeded if, that is, one defines success in the narrow sense of the legal termination of servitude. The sequence of events can be briefly rehearsed. On the night of Sunday 2 July, signal fires were lit on the estates of western St. Croix, estate bells began to ring and conch shells blown, and by Monday morning, 3 July, some 8000 slaves had converged in front of Frederiksted fort demanding their freedom. In the early hours of Monday morning, the governor general Peter von Scholten, who had only hours before returned from a visit to neighbouring St. Thomas, sum- moned a meeting of his senior advisers in Christiansted (Bass End), the island's capital. Among them was Lt. Capt. Irminger, commander of the Danish West Indian naval station, who urged the use of force, including bombardment from the sea to disperse the insurgents, and the deployment of a detachment of soldiers and marines from his frigate (f)rnen. Von Scholten kept his own counsels. No troops were despatched along the arterial Centreline road and, although he gave Irminger permission to sail around the coast to beleaguered Frederiksted (West End), he went overland himself and arrived in town sometime around 4 p.m.

    THE CHILEAN FAILURE TO OBTAIN BRITISH RECOGNITION. 1823-1828 The year 1823 witnessed a significant modification of the attitude of the British Foreign Office toward Chile. Soon after coming into office in 1822 Canning took up the ques• tion of Hispanic America. He apparently believed it possible to gain Cabinet support for immediate recognition of the Hispanic American states. Confidently he offered media• tion to Spain, but without result. Many influences were at work to bring about closer Anglo-Chilean relations at this time. ln June, 1818, Com- modore Bowles of the Royal Navy wrote that the quantity of British trade with Chile made very desirable the appoint• ment of a commercial agent in that country,1 and sugges• tions of this type grew more frequent as time passed. In April, 1822, meetings were held by London merchants for the purpose of "maintaining" commercial intercourse with the Hispanic American nations,2 and Liverpool shipowners and merchants petitioned for recognition of the indepen• dence of those countries. Canning, supported by such evidence of public support, was able in 1823 to carry through the Cabinet his project 1 Bowles to Admiralty, 7 June, 1818 (Public Record Office, Ad• miralty 1/23, N° 84, secret); JosÉ PACÍFICO OTERO, Historia del liber• tador (4 vols.; Buenos Aires, 1932), II, pp. 432-433. 2 FREDERIC L.
