  • A General Model of Illicit Market Suppression A
    ALL THE SHIPS THAT NEVER SAILED: A GENERAL MODEL OF ILLICIT MARKET SUPPRESSION 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 Government. By David Joseph Blair, M.P.P. Washington, DC September 15, 2014 Copyright 2014 by David Joseph Blair. All Rights Reserved. The views expressed in this dissertation do not reflect the official policy or position of the United States Air Force, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. ii ALL THE SHIPS THAT NEVER SAILED: A GENERAL MODEL OF TRANSNATIONAL ILLICIT MARKET SUPPRESSION David Joseph Blair, M.P.P. Thesis Advisor: Daniel L. Byman, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This model predicts progress in transnational illicit market suppression campaigns by comparing the relative efficiency and support of the suppression regime vis-à-vis the targeted illicit market. Focusing on competitive adaptive processes, this ‘Boxer’ model theorizes that these campaigns proceed cyclically, with the illicit market expressing itself through a clandestine business model, and the suppression regime attempting to identify and disrupt this model. Success in disruption causes the illicit network to ‘reboot’ and repeat the cycle. If the suppression network is quick enough to continually impose these ‘rebooting’ costs on the illicit network, and robust enough to endure long enough to reshape the path dependencies that underwrite the illicit market, it will prevail. Two scripts put this model into practice. The organizational script uses two variables, efficiency and support, to predict organizational evolution in response to competitive pressures.

  • Lincoln and the Execution of a Slave Trader, 1862 Introduction Questions
    1 Lincoln and the execution of a slave trader, 1862 Introduction This stunning document, a refusal of clemency for a convicted slave trader, stands out among the papers of Abraham Lincoln, a man renowned for his mercy and willingness to pardon. In November 1861, Nathaniel Gordon was convicted of slave trading and sentenced to hang. Participation in the slave trade had been punishable by death since 1820, but Gordon was the first man to be executed for the crime. Between 1837 and 1860, seventy-four cases relating to the slave trade had been tried in the United States, but very few men were convicted, and even then they received only light sentences. Only one other slave trader had been sentenced to death, but he received a full pardon from President James Buchanan in 1857. Gordon’s friends and supporters approached Lincoln, as the President wrote, “to commute the said sentence of the said Nathaniel Gordon to a term of imprisonment for life.” Lincoln declined, writing that it was his “duty to refuse.” He did, however, delay the execution for two weeks, to allow the prisoner time to make “the necessary preparation for the awful change which awaits him.” Lincoln’s unwavering refusal to grant Gordon clemency is a testament to his intolerance of slavery. At noon on February 21, 1862, Nathaniel Gordon was brought to the gallows in New York City. Both the death warrant and Lincoln’s refusal to commute the sentence were read aloud, and then he was hanged. The article from Harper’s Weekly below describes the case, Gordon’s attempted suicide, and the execution.

  • James Buchanan and the Suppression of the Slave Trade, 1858-1861
    JAMES BUCHANAN AND THE SUPPRESSION OF THE SLAVE TRADE, 1858-1861 By ROBERT RALPH DAVIS, JR.* HE suppression of the African slave trade is one of the nmo.t Tsignificant achievements of the American people. President Abraham Lincoln's administration, however, often receives fudl credit for those measures which finally terminated the barbaric commerce. Although the new Republican government did much ill this respect, it is mistaken to suppose that effective action against the slave trade began with Lincoln's inauguration. In fact, the five years of Lincoln's Presidency were no more vital to the sup- pression of the illegal trade than were the preceding four years. The slave trade legislation promulgated during the Buchanan regime continued and substantially fortified a movement which had its inception in the first decade of the nineteenth century. On March 2, 1807, President Thomas Jefferson signed the "Act to prohibit the importation of slaves into any port or place within the jurisdiction of the United States" after January 1, 1808.1 With this law on the books, many hoped that "the hideous suffer- ings undergone by these poor creatures in their transit across the Atlantic had at last drawn down the reprobation of humanity" uponi the traders.2 But since Congress provided no special ma- chinery to enforce it, the act proved difficult to implement. The Treasury Department, as well as the Navy, State, War, and In- terior Departments, all took their turns as policing agencies2 After 1808, Congress passed numerous amendments and supple- ments to the law, including the significant act of May 15, 1820.

    THE SLAVE TRADE CATALOGUE 1496 MAGGS BROS. LTD. THE SLAVE TRADE 1690-1880 CATALOGUE 1496 MAGGS BROS. LTD. atalogue 1496 includes 76 items devoted to the slave trade and its abolition. The items are drawn from the United States and England, C France and Spain, Liberia and Ghana. In addition to books, there are broadsides, prints and manuscripts. The main names in the English abolition movement all feature: William Wilberforce, Thomas Clarkson, and Granville Sharp; as do Anthony Benezet, Ignatius Sancho, Frederick Douglass and Harriet Beecher Stowe. Important figures in the establishment and government of the Sierra Leone colony are also represented. The revolutions in Haiti, France, and America all took place in the period covered, and their ramifications on free trade, for starters, underpin the publication of several items here. So too do the other major events of the era: obviously, the signing and implementation of the 1807 and 1833 Abolition Acts, but also the 1814 Treaty of Paris, which contained a clause for abolition that bound both France and Spain. There is a considerable group documenting some of the internal conflicts within the abolition movements in both England and France, as well as the resis- Covers from item 69, History of the Merry Brother Jonathan. tance from planters in the colonies whose interests were materially and imme- diately affected.

  • Nathaniel Gordon, American “Blackbirder”
    CAPTAIN NATHANIEL GORDON, AMERICAN “BLACKBIRDER” It wasn’t all a fraud between the founding of our nation and the civil war, as we actually did execute one ship’s captain for engaging in the international slave trade! The particular voyage which would prove fatal to Captain Nathaniel Gordon of Maine would be undertaken in 1860, but our story must begin far earlier, in 1787 when in order to secure the assent of the southern colonies, our new national constitution protected the international slave trade at least until the Year of Our Lord 1808, and continues in 1808 when the federal legislature became enabled to make engaging in the international slave trade on the high seas to be (allegedly) a capital crime equivalent to piracy. It is commonly presumed that our national search for a “humane” way of killing people (by way of comparison, the French search for a more humane way had begun with the apparatus designed by Dr. Guillotine during the French Revolution) began with the introduction of the electric chair in 1888 and the gas chamber in 1924, but actually, our national search for a way to avoid causing pain began with this case in which we were obliged to execute a Maine capitalist of fine family and upright standing because all legal remedies for sparing this citizen had been exhausted. This ship Captain, who was such a special citizen, was to be hanged by the use of a special experimental gallows contraption that, instead of a hanging platform, and dropping the victim through a trap door as usual, was at ground level and designed to guarantee snapping of the neck by yanking the victim suddenly up into the air.

  • Chapter Twenty-Seven “The Hour Comes for Dealing with Slavery”
    Chapter Twenty-seven “The Hour Comes for Dealing with Slavery”: Playing the Last Trump Card (January-July 1862) The failure of the Peninsular campaign marked a key turning point in the war. If McClellan had won, his triumph – combined with other successes of Union arms that spring, including the capture of New Orleans, Memphis, and Nashville – might well have ended the war with slavery virtually untouched. But in the wake of such a major Union defeat, Lincoln decided that the peculiar institution must no longer be treated gently. It was time, he thought, to deal with it head-on. As he told the artist Francis B. Carpenter in 1864, "It had got to be midsummer, 1862. Things had gone on from bad to worse, until I felt that we had reached the end of our rope on the plan of operations we had been pursuing; that we had about played our last card, and must change our tactics, or lose the game! I now determined upon the adoption of the emancipation policy.”1 On July 26, the president used similar language in warning Reverdy Johnson that his forbearance was legendary but finite.2 To New York attorney Edwards Pierrepont, Lincoln similarly 1 Francis B.
