THE ATLANTIC MIND: ZEPHANIAH KINGSLEY, SLAVERY, AND THE POLITICS OF RACE IN THE ATLANTIC WORLD by MARK J. FLESZAR Under the Direction of Dr. Jared Poley and Dr. H. Robert Baker ABSTRACT Enlightenment philosophers had long feared the effects of crisscrossing boundaries, both real and imagined. Such fears were based on what they considered a brutal ocean space frequented by protean shape-shifters with a dogma of ruthless exploitation and profit. This intellectual study outlines the formation and fragmentation of a fluctuating worldview as experienced through the circum-Atlantic life and travels of merchant, slaveowner, and slave trader Zephaniah Kingsley during the Era of Revolution. It argues that the process began from experiencing the costs of loyalty to the idea of the British Crown and was tempered by the pervasiveness of violence, mobility, anxiety, and adaptation found in the booming Atlantic markets of the Caribbean during the Haitian Revolution.

  • Man Robbery—A Gender Signifier in Convict Australia 1827–1836
    societies Article Man Robbery—A Gender Signifier in Convict Australia 1827–1836 Carol Liston 1,* and Kathrine M. Reynolds 2 1 Humanities and Communication Arts, Western Sydney University, Penrith, NSW 2751, Australia 2 Arts and Social Sciences, Department of History, The University of Sydney, Camperdown, NSW 2006, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 19 May 2020; Accepted: 24 June 2020; Published: 30 June 2020 Abstract: This paper investigates the use of the anomalous term ‘man robbery’ in historical records relating to convict women in New South Wales. We question its accuracy as a criminal offence and conclude that its use in the 1830s was an administrative code that summarized an assessment not only of the women’s criminality but also of their morality. Its use in the historical records has been accepted uncritically by modern historians. The anomaly was identified through a large-scale study of these records. Often used to trace the histories of individual women for genealogical research, recurring patterns in the records are more noticeable when considering the crimes of some 5000 women transported to New South Wales, especially when their court records held in Britain are compared with those held in Australia. Evidence has emerged that the criminality of the women has been reduced by this gendered criminal offence. Inconsistency in the application of the term ‘man robbery’ led us to question it accuracy. Violence and participation in gangs were airbrushed from the records by the use of a term that implied that the women’s crimes related to their sexuality rather than their skills as criminals.

  • Nineteenth-Century American Medicine: the Implications of Professionalism, Capitalism, and Implicit Bias
    Nineteenth-Century American Medicine: The Implications of Professionalism, Capitalism, and Implicit Bias DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment for the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Amy Gregg, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Maurice E. Stevens, Advisor Robert A. Buerki Christine Ballengee-Morris Copyright by Amy Gregg 2017 Abstract An examination of the history of medicine and pharmacy uncovers evidence of struggles among rival groups of practitioners in the process of establishing modern professional standards. Within these struggles, there is unmistakable evidence of bias during the nineteenth century that privileged the perspectives of the wealthy elite of American society. Drawing upon critical race theory, and the process of racialization as described by Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic, this dissertation explores the development of medicine and pharmacy in the United States during the nineteenth century with respect to their maturation as it relates to the struggle for authority between sectarian and allopathic practitioners. It focuses on the impact that implicit bias had on what was considered legitimate medicine and who was valued as an authentic physician. The work of Dr. Francis Peyre Porcher constitutes a significant illustration: Porcher’s fifty-year career as a medical practitioner, researcher, and influential writer represents a synthesis of his interests in botanic medicine and the most advanced medical practices of his day, which he learned from his studies at the Medical School of South Carolina and France’s Paris Clinic. The ensuing period from the late nineteenth century through the twentieth century effectively sidelined practices such as botanic medicine as industrialization and capitalism institutionalized medicine and pharmacy into large corporations.

  • The Slave Ship Wanderer. 107 P
    THE SLAVE SHIP Published in 1967, The Slave Ship Wanderer details the journey of the elegant yacht that was used to secretly land a cargo of 400 enslaved Africans off the coast of Jekyll Island, Georgia, in 1859. It was the last successful large-scale WANDERER importation of slaves into the United States, and it was done in defiance of federal law. The Wanderers crew had outrun ships of both the British and American Navies and the creators of the plot went on to evade federal marshals as they attempted to sell the slaves throughout the South. Tom Henderson Wells documents the story behind the prominent Georgian, Charles Lamar, who engineered the plot. He also explores the regional and national attention the story received and the failure to prosecute those involved. In tracing the story of the Wanderer, Wells provides insight into the heated political and social climate of the South on the verge of secession. "A valuable addition to the scholarly literature dealing with the illegal slave trade under the American flag." -Journal ofAmerican History "Perhaps the most important contribution which Professor Wells makes is the light he sheds on the spirit of the times during years when, despite lack of strong public support for reviving the slave trade, public prosecutors, marshals, judges, and private individuals felt that militant loyalty to their section demanded their defiance of the laws." -Journal of Southern History "Wells tells his fascinating story well." American Historical Review Tom Henderson Wells (1917-1971) served more than twenty-five years in the Navy and received the Bronze Star in the Korean War.

LIST OF MARINE RECORDS OF THE LATE EAST INDIA COMPANY, AND OF SUBSEQUENT DATE, PRESERVED IN THE KECOKD DEPARTMENT OF THE INDIA OFFICE, I^ONDON. 1896. INTRODUCTION. In the latter part of tlie fifteenth century, in consequence of the " grete " mynysshyng and decaye now of late tyme of the navye of this Eeame of England, and " ydleness of the mariners within the same, by the whiche this noble Reame wythin short " process of tyme wythout reform aoion be had therein shall not be of habilite ne power " to defend it selfe,"* an Act was passed (4° Henry VII. c. X.) in 1488-89 prohibiting the importation and exportation of merchandise in any but English ships. This, it appears, gave offence to foreign Princes, who, thinking that the law was made to the prejudice of their respective countries and navies, made similar laws with regard to the shipping of their own dominions ; "by reason whereof," as stated in the preamble to 1° Eliz. c. XIII. (1558-59) " ther hathe not onely growen greate displeasyre *' between the forreyne Prynces and the Kinges of this Realme, but also the " Marchauntes have been sore greved and endomaged." Accordingly, by the Statute last quoted, the former law was repealed, and although this repeal was clogged with many restrictions, it afforded considerable relief and encouragement to English merchants.

  • A Study of Elite Political Power in South Carolina, 1763-1776
    “ALL MATTERS AND THINGS SHALL CENTER THERE”: A STUDY OF ELITE POLITICAL POWER IN SOUTH CAROLINA, 1763-1776 A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Aaron J. Palmer, M.A. Washington, DC October 19, 2009 Copyright 2009 by Aaron J. Palmer All Rights Reserved ii “ALL MATTERS AND THINGS SHALL CENTER THERE:” A STUDY OF ELITE POLITICAL POWER IN SOUTH CAROLINA, 1763-1776 Aaron J. Palmer, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Alison Games, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation addresses a fundamental question about the nature of political power in South Carolina on the eve of the American Revolution: how did the lowcountry elite wield political power in the colony and to what end? It argues that the ability to control the law, shape legal and governing structures, and determine how the law was enforced were the primary tools that allowed the lowcountry elite to establish the most centralized system of colonial government in North America. The Commons House of Assembly, which represented only lowcountry parishes until the revolution, seized control of the law, courts, law enforcement, infrastructure, and even the Church of England’s vestries through legislation. These government entities existed to protect property, manage society and maintain order. Yet, the lowcountry elite faced many challenges in the late eighteenth century. Slaves and plantations had to be carefully regulated to protect the economy. Growing population and rising poverty in the colonial metropolis led to higher taxes, disorder and threats to personal property.
