Race, Resistance, and the Laws of Slavery Sean Kim Butorac a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillme States of Insurrection: Race, Resistance, and the Laws of Slavery Sean Kim Butorac A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2020 Reading Committee: Megan Ming Francis, co-chair Jack Turner III, co-chair Michael W. McCann Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Political Science ©Copyright 2020 Sean Kim Butorac University of Washington Abstract States of Insurrection: Race, Resistance, and the Laws of Slavery Sean Kim Butorac Chairs of the Supervisory Committee: Megan Ming Francis, co-chair Jack Turner III, co-chair Department of Political Science This project tracks how resistance to enslavement durably altered the making of law and race in Barbados and South Carolina between 1650 – 1899. It explores four critical junctures: Interracial resistance during the 1650s, the Stono Uprising in 1739, the Denmark Vesey Uprising in 1822, and the construction of the South Carolina Penitentiary in 1867. I demonstrate how resistance to enslavement yielded new laws and legal institutions designed to suppress that resistance, as well as new ideas of race to underwrite and support those institutions. This process furnished the foundations of two institutional developments: the construction of separate-but-interrelated legal orders to govern blacks and whites and the expansion of racial capitalism, as well as two ideological developments: the consolidation of whiteness and institutionalization of white ignorance, and the stigmatization and criminalization of blackness. Acknowledgments This project would not have taken shape without many wonderful people. First and foremost, I want to thank my committee for their unwavering support during my diverse and sometimes scattered intellectual journey. Megan Francis is a force to be reckoned with—she showed me that resistance is the stuff of politics and has supported this project since it was just an idea of an idea. As intellectually rigorous as professionally savvy, she has been a shrewd mentor and fierce advocate for me and my work. Chip Turner was the reason I chose to attend UW and the reason that I have stayed. He has been a constant source of wisdom and support, always unrelenting in challenging me to be the best possible version of myself. Michael McCann has been a constant pillar in my thought—he taught me to conceive of race, law, and rights in new and unexpected ways that continue to inspire my work. Truly, the form and content of this project are indebted to him in countless ways. Underwriting the following pages are so many conversations and heated discussions about race and power, but I would especially like to thank Becca Thorpe, Sophia Jordán Wallace, Christine DiStefano, and Jamie Mayerfeld for their guidance in my intellectual and professional development. This project also would not have taken shape without a lot of institutional support. For the past seven years, the Department of Political Science at the University of Washington has been by second home, generously supporting my research, as well as conference travel to develop this project. The department provided a Camden Hall Graduate Research Grant that was essential to my early archival work and data collection. The Washington Institute for the Study of Inequality and Race (WISIR) generously supplied a research grant that enabled me to perform further archival research. The Sawyer Seminar on Capitalism and Comparative Racialization not only generously supplied research funds but was also integral in developing my thinking on racial capitalism. Many thanks to the research librarians at the University of Washington, the University of South Carolina, the South Carolina Department of Archives and History, and the Library of Congress for their assistance in finding and gathering the archival materials that appear throughout this project. Finally, I would like to extend a special thanks to the Mellon Foundation and the American Council of Learned Societies for their generous provision of a Dissertation Completion Fellowship, which has enabled me to spend this past year focused on writing and research. My intellectual trajectory took shape in the Department of Politics and Government at the University of Puget Sound, and I am forever indebted to the faculty and staff for their support during my undergraduate studies and while returning to teach my own courses. Spring 2010, I was fortunate enough to meet Alisa Kessel, who I count myself lucky to call a mentor and friend. She is the reason I believe that people can be better than they are, and why I see the world as a site of novel possibilities as much as a justifiable object of critique. Robin Jacobson has remained instrumental in my intellectual and professional development—she inspired my interest in race and the carceral state and has supported me at every step on this journey. Finally, not many people would see parallels between political theory and violin performance, but Maria Sampen somehow found a way, empowering me to perform as both a scholar and musician. For the past seven years, I have been fortunate enough to be part of an incredibly supportive community of peers and friends who challenge and inspire me. Special thanks to my very best friend and closest intellectual collaborator, JP Anderson, for countless late nights and boundless ideas. I would not have survived graduate school or loved my time nearly this much without the support of Carolyn Dapper, Chelsea Moore, Emily Christensen, Vanessa Quince, Emma Rodman, David Lucas, Mathieu Dubeau, Jennifer Driscoll, Rutger Ceballos, Grace Reinke, Will Gochberg, Eric Schwab, Kirstine Taylor, and Hannah Walker. I also count myself lucky to have an amazing circle of friends who shared this journey and have endured hearing about my work, especially Alexa Finelli, Sam Ng, Hayley Hedges, Steffen Minner, Frankie O’Donnel, and Greta Heller. Likewise, for the past three years, my industry family at Toulouse Petit have kept me smiling and ensured that I make time for fun—you all are simply the best. I fully expect all of you to visit me in Chicago! Above all, I would not have completed this undertaking without my partner, Jordan, whose love and support are imprinted on every page of this work. Even after ten years together—and, perhaps more impressively, after three months of quarantine—he is still finding new ways to make me laugh and love our life together. Our family would not be complete without two very strange and special dogs, Percy and Olive, who always make sure that I go outside and find time to be a person. Finally, this work is dedicated to my mother, Cindy, who has always been my greatest supporter and is the reason I have some this far. Her strength, kindness, and love continue to set an example that I strive to follow.

From the disproportionate and violent policing of black communities, to the exploitation of indigenous lands and the violation of tribal sovereignty, a new generation of activists have harnessed novel and disruptive protest tactics to contest racist structures and the ideas of race underwriting them. These tactics have caught the attention of lawmakers: Since 2016, eighteen states with conservative and liberal legislatures have introduced or voted on expansive legislation to criminalize and repress protest. These laws legalize harsher fines and the seizure of assets, institute longer mandatory minimums, criminalize a range of political acts, create new criminal categories, and shield acts of violence against protestors from prosecution. Citing the BLM Ferguson protests, a Missouri bill would prohibit protestors from wearing any hood or mask that concealed their identity or protected that person from tear gas. In Oregon, a bill would require community colleges and public universities to expel any students found guilty of participating in ‘violent riots.’ A Minnesota bill would make it a gross misdemeanor to block a road or highway. When asked about the bill, one representative responded by invoking a familiar narrative that bifurcated disruptive and socially acceptable protest: “Well, there is a cost to that. Rosa Parks sat in the front of the bus. She didn’t get out and lay down in

  • Julia Faisst, Phin Beiheft
    PhiN Beiheft | Supplement 5/2012: 71 Julia Faisst (Siegen) Degrees of Exposure: Frederick Douglass, Daguerreotypes, and Representations of Freedom1 This essay investigates the picture-making processes in the writings of Frederick Douglass, one of the most articulate critics of photography in the second half of the nineteenth century. Through his fiction, speeches on photography, three autobiographies, and frontispieces, he fashioned himself as the most "representative" African American of his time, and effectively updated and expanded the image of the increasingly emancipated African American self. Tracing Douglass's project of self-fashioning – both of himself and his race – with the aid of images as well as words is the major aim of this essay. Through a close reading of the historical novella "The Heroic Slave," I examine how the face of a slave imprints itself on the photographic memory of a white man as it would on a silvered daguerreotype plate – transforming the latter into a committed abolitionist. The essay furthermore uncovers how the transformation of the novella's slave into a free man is described in terms of various photographic genres: first a "type," Augustus Washington (whose life story mirrors that of Douglass) changes into a subject worthy of portraiture. As he explored photographic genres in his writings, Douglass launched the genre of African American fiction. Moreover, through his pronounced interest in mixed media, he functioned as an immediate precursor to modernist authors who produced literature on the basis of photographic imagery. Overall, this essay reveals how Douglass performed his own progress within his photographically inflected writings, and turned both himself and his characters into free people.

  • The Denmark Vesey Conspiracy Conceptualizing Crime and Religion in Slaveholding Societies Paul Schneider-Krumpus
    The Denmark Vesey Conspiracy Conceptualizing Crime and Religion in Slaveholding Societies Paul Schneider-Krumpus This project was supported by the University of Minnesota Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program Premise of Research Through the UROP program, I have conducted an historical documentary analysis of the Denmark Vesey conspiracy, an alleged plot of slave rebellion that was exposed in Charleston, South Carolina in 1822. This research is meant to be part of Professor Katherine Gerbner’s wider research on the construction of religion and crime in relation to New World slavery. Little documentation of the alleged plot exists outside of court documents from the trials of the accused, and so these were especially important source materials. New strides are being made in the understanding of the Denmark Vesey conspiracy, as professional historians continue to accumulate sources and construct new and fuller interpretations of the events. Objective of Research The objective of this research was to use primary sources relevant to the Denmark Vesey conspiracy to learn about the relationships between law, religion, and the institution of slavery in the antebellum American South, particularly in relation to slave revolts. Considering the religious nature of the plot, its conspirators, its suppressors, and the very society it took place in, the Denmark Vesey conspiracy is especially suited to an analysis of this sort. Compared to other slave revolts, this plot is only lightly studied. It could be essential to understanding other North American slave revolts though; the number of people involved is alleged to be well over 6,000, which would make it one of the largest uprisings ever conceived of in this part of the world.

  • Teacher's Guide Look What a Wonder a Gospel Musical by Walter
    Teacher’s Guide Look What a Wonder A gospel musical by Walter Robinson FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR In a Facing History and Ourselves classroom, students discover, in the words of German historian Detlev J.K. Peukert, that "the shadowy figures that look out at us from the tarnished mirror of history are – in the final analysis -- ourselves." The arts play a central role in helping students make that connection, for it is through the arts that they begin to see themselves in others. It is also through the arts that they develop empathy, the ability to see the world through someone else's eyes. President John F. Kennedy once told Americans that arts raise our spirits, deepen our insights, and enhance our self-comprehension. As Facing History students view the past through music, art, drama, and literature, many find their own voice and begin to tell their own stories: stories linked to their identity, their sense of who they are, and the dreams of what they might become. Look What a Wonder , Walter Robinson's gospel musical, reveals the way the arts can raise universal questions through an exploration of a particular history. It is a story that explores many of the themes central to a Facing History course: identity and voice, courage and resilience, freedom and justice, and decision-making and choice. We are grateful to Seth and Beth Klarman for sponsoring this event and giving this performance as a gift to our community.

  • Contested Symbolism in the Flags of New World Slave Risings
    Contested Symbolism in the Flags of New World Slave Risings Steven A. Knowlton Throughout the summer of 1800, an enslaved blacksmith of Richmond, Virginia, named Gabriel conspired with fellow bondspeople to rise in arms and fight for their freedom. Among his plans was a scheme to paint a flag with the phrase “Death or Liberty” to be carried at the head of the column that would march into the city.1 Gabriel’s slogan inverted the words of his fellow Virginian Patrick Henry, whose famous oration on the eve of the American Revolution concluded, “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”2 It is a well-known irony of history that among those who fought for American independence from British rule—and couched their rhetoric in terms of “freedom” and “liberty”—were some of the largest slaveholders on the continent, including Henry.3 In popular memory, their struggle against King George III has been valorized, but so have the efforts of those who sought emancipation for slaves. For example, historical markers now stand at key locations in Gabriel’s career, and the Richmond History Center has made an artist’s conception of Gabriel’s image one of fifty key objects that define the city’s story.4 (Figure 1) As Gabriel’s adaptation of Henry’s rhetoric demonstrates, opposing parties are known to assign conflicting meanings to shared symbols; flags are among the most prominent of these, as documented throughout vexillological literature.5 Slaves who engaged in violent conflict with their masters often used flags mod- eled on those of their oppressors.

Over the past half decade, historians of American culture have been attracted to two quite disparate avenues of inquiry, one involving a heightened understanding of memory and the second expanding the parameters of gender to include the meanings of masculinity. Certainly the mythic and cultural significance of the "Founding Fathers" for a generation of Americans on the eve of the Civil War offers a rich field for exploring both of these. An understanding of the "Founding Fathers" demands an analysis of the relationships between fathers and sons (both real and metaphorical) as well as the manner in which different antebellum Americans constructed
