Kelly This thesis explores the relationship between Britain and transatlantic slavery in the post-emancipation perioD. Following West InDian emancipation various types of British capitalists continueD to profit from both the slave traDe anD slave-ownership. These economic connections haD to be rationalised within a Britain politically anD ideologically committeD to anti-slavery. I propose that the British government, abolitionists, anD capitalists were faceD with the problem of anti-slavery, namely the question of whether it was possible to operate morally in an Atlantic economy built upon chattel slavery. I explore a number of controversies relating to both British slave- ownership and involvement in the transatlantic slave traDe. I argue that these Debates must be consiDered as part of a longer traDition of slavery apologism that stretched back to the struggles over slave traDe abolition and West Indian emancipation. In Doing so I complicate our unDerstanDing of Britain as anti-slavery nation. Debates over British involvement of in transatlantic slavery blenDeD economic anD moral arguments. As such my thesis stresses the historically contingent nature of appeals to economic rationality, a key strategy of British capitalists justifying profiting from slavery. By examining business recorDs, private corresponDence, anD government papers I establish the material basis of British involvement with transatlantic slavery. I also analyse debates that took place in newspapers, journals, anD parliament to explore the arguments aDvanceD about Britain, commerce, anD slavery. I Demonstrate how British capitalists justifieD profiting from transatlantic slavery through a construction of Britons as more civilized than foreign slave owners, slave traders, and enslaved people. That this imagineD geography proviDeD a solution the problem of anti-slavery speaks to the heterogeneous nature of anti-slavery iDeology in Victorian Britain. 5 Introduction: The Problem of Anti-Slavery in the Age of Capital In June of 1840 abolitionists from arounD the globe crowDeD into LonDon’s Freemason’s Hall to attend the first General Anti-Slavery Convention. This was a granD occasion with even grander aims. In the opening adDress Thomas Clarkson, the 81- year-olD veteran of British abolitionism, laiD Down the gauntlet to his auDience: ‘My dear friends you have a most difficult task to perform; it is neither more or less the extirpation of slavery from the whole world.’1 Implicit in this call to arms were two assertions; that slavery had, mostly, been overcome in the British Empire anD that this success shoulD be exported to the wiDer worlD. British abolitionists having seen the Anglo-American transatlantic slave traDe abolisheD anD West InDian slaves emancipated looked out on a worlD still Dominated by slavery. Yet, some like the Irish abolitionist RicharD Allen also lookeD inwarDs. Warning against triumphalism Allen tolD the Convention ‘I have long been of the opinion that while we were speaking strongly against those abroad who are connecteD with slavery, we, ourselves, as a nation, were not entirely clear of the guilt.’2 The Irishman feareD that many British subjects remaineD heavily involveD in transatlantic slavery anD proposeD a committee investigate the following: 1. Whether manacles for slaves are manufactureD in this country? 2. Whether large quantities of inferior fire-arms are also manufactureD in Great Britain, to be solD to the Africans for their slave wars? 3. Whether cotton gooDs of a particular fabric anD to a large amount are manufactureD in this country, anD solely intenDeD for being useD in barter for African slaves? 1 BFASS, Proceedings of the General Anti-Slavery Convention, called by the Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, and Held in London, from Friday, June 12th, to Tuesday, June 23rd, 1840 (LonDon: 1841), p. 3.[https://archive.org/stream/oates71027137#page/n3/moDe/2up, accesseD 5 July 2017] (Italics in original) 2 IbiD, p. 265. 6 4. Whether persons in EnglanD holD shares in Brazilian anD other mines which are workeD by slaves? 5. Whether any British Joint Stock Banks have branch establishments in countries in which the slave-traDe prevails? 6. What are the quantities of gunpowDer exported from any port or ports in Great Britain to Africa anD other parts of the worlD, respectively?3 Allen’s questions spoke not only to fears about the complicity of Britons in the multi- national system of transatlantic slavery, but also to the diversity of British commercial activity in the early Victorian period. The first four DecaDes of the nineteenth century had been a period of economic innovation and ascendancy. British bankers, manufacturers, merchants, anD shareholDers haD inserteD themselves into the economies of the Americas anD Africa. This process haD corresponDeD with the dismantling of slavery within the British Empire from the Abolition Act of 1807 onwards, but now there appeared to be a tension between commercial expansion and moral progress. Allen’s speech was met with still more examples of British wrongDoing from the crowD. LonDon was said to be home to ‘sleeping partners in the mercantile houses of Cuba; and these traitors to humanity are the main

  • Greenberg – a Wicked
    POLK, CLAY, LINCOLN, AND THE 1846 U.S. INVASION OF MEXICO WICKED WAR AMY S. GREENBERG I do not think there was ever a more wicked war than that waged by the United States on Mexico. I thought so at the time, when I was a youngster, only I had not moral courage enough to resign. —ULYSSES S. GRANT, 1879 Introduction THIS is THE STORY of five men, four years, and one foreign war. Henry Clay, James K. Polk, Abraham Lincoln, John J. Hardin, and Nicholas Trist were bound together in unexpected political and personal battle during the years 1844-48 as AmericaVwar against Mexico unfolded, then stumbled to an end. That conflict, which breached George Washington's injunction to avoid entanglements abroad, was an act of expansionist aggression against a neighboring country. It reshaped the United States into lord of the continent and announced the arrival of a new world power. TheJJ.S.-Mexican conflict also tipped an internecine struggle over slaveryjnto civil war. Though both Its justification and its consequences are dim now, this, America's first wgr against another republic, decisively broke with the past, shaped the future, and to this day affects how the United States acts in the world. This is also a story about politics, slavery, Manifest Destiny, Indian kill- ing, and what it meant to prove one's manhood in the nineteenth century. It explores the meaning of moral courage injVmerica, the importance of legacies passed between generations, and the imperatives that turn politi- cians into leaders. And it attempts to explain why the United States invaded a neighboring country and how it came to pass that a substantial number of Americans determined to stop the ensuing war.

  • The Writings of Ladies' Abolitionist Societies in Britain, Anna Wood "In Taking a View of the Means Which May Be Employed W
    The Writings of Ladies' Abolitionist Societies in Britain, 1825-1833 Anna Wood "In taking a view of the means which may be employed with advantage to effect the mitigation and ultimate extinction of NEGRO SLAVERY, it would be unpardonable to overlook THE LADIES OF THE UNITED KINGDOM, of all classes, and especially of the upper ranks, who have now an opportunity of exerting themselves beneficially in behalf of the most deeply injured of the human race." 1 On April 8, 1825, in the home of Lucy Townsend, the wife of an Anglican clergyman, forty four women gathered to establish the first women's anti-slavery society in Britain. Its initial name was the Ladies Society for the Relief of Negro Slaves, but later adopted the name Female Society for Birmingham. This society was committed to the "Amelioration of the Condition of the Unhappy Children of Africa, and especially of Female Negro Slaves."2 This formation preceded that of the first abolition society in the United States, the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society, by seven years.3 The Birmingham society actively helped other societies form through various religious network connections. They "acted more like a national than a local society, actively promoting the foundation of local women's societies throughout England, and in Wales and Ireland, 1 Negro Slavery, to the Ladies of the United Kingdom, London, 1 824, Slavery and Anti Slavery, Gale, Wichita State University Libraries (DS 103 7001 86). 2 Clare Midgley, Women Against Slavery: The British Campaigns, 1780-1870 (London: Routledge, 1 992), 43-44. ; Wendy Hamand Venet, Neither Ballots nor Bullets: Women Abolitionists and the Civil War(Charlottesville, VA: University Press of Virginia, 1991 ), 4.

  • Download Nightingale Fund Letters
    Archives & Special Collections, Columbia University Health Sciences Library Auchincloss Florence Nightingale Collection AUCHINCLOSS, HUGH, 1878-1947, collector. FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE FUND LETTERS, 1848-1898 (bulk 1855-1856) 1 cubic foot (3 boxes) BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: Hugh Auchincloss was born Dec. 28, 1878 in New York City. He was educated at Groton, was graduated from Yale in 1901, and received his medical degree from the College of Physicians and Surgeons (P&S), Columbia University, in 1905. After surgical residencies at Presbyterian and Roosevelt Hospitals in New York, he began a long association with both Presbyterian Hospital and P&S, eventually becoming Chief of the Second Surgical Division of Presbyterian and Professor of Clinical Surgery at P&S. He was best known for his skill in surgery of the hand and of the breast. He died in 1947. Florence Nightingale was born on May 12, 1820, in Florence, Italy to William Edward and Frances Smith Nightingale. Educated at home by her father, she later rejected the traditional role and pursuits of an upper-class Victorian lady to devote herself to nursing reform and public health advocacy. She became an iconic figure in Victorian Britain through her work nursing British troops during the Crimean War (1854-1856). Afterwards, though an invalid for most the rest of her life, Nightingale became an influential voice in government public health policy in late 19th century Britain, especially as it affected India. Nightingale died on August 13, 1910. HISTORICAL NOTE: The Florence Nightingale Fund was created as a result of the work of a group led by author Anna Maria Hall, her husband, journalist Samuel Carter Hall and statesman Sir Sidney Herbert and his wife, writer and prominent social figure Elizabeth Herbert, who in 1855 organized a public subscription to create a testament to Britain’s appreciation Florence Nightingale’s service to the nation during the Crimean War.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract That Most Perfidious Institution is a study of Africans - slaves and slave owners - and their central roles in both the expansion of slavery in the early nineteenth century and attempts to reform servile relationships in the late nineteenth century. The pivotal place of Africans can be seen in the interaction between indigenous slave-owning elites (aristocrats and urban Euro-African merchants), local European administrators, and slaves themselves. My approach to this problematic is both chronologically and geographically comparative. The central comparison between Senegal and the Gold Coast contrasts the varying impact of colonial policies, integration into the trans-Atlantic economy; and, more importantly, the continuity of indigenous institutions and the transformative agency of indigenous actors.

  • Ghanaian Appropriation of Wesleyan Theology in Mission 1961-2000

United Kingdom Ghanaian Appropriation of Wesleyan Theology in Mission 1961-2000 Casely B. Essamuah, [email protected]. Abstract: The historiography on African Christianity has tended to emphasize two facets: the role of western missionaries and the continuing growth of African Independent Churches. In more recent times, the explosive revival of Pentecostalism has attracted attention. What is lacking is an in-depth study of mainline, missions-founded churches, which have integrated the strengths of western missions, African Independency and Pentecostalism. This study uses the post-missionary era of the Methodist Church, Ghana, 1961-2000, to examine how Ghanaian Methodists have appropriated Wesleyan theology in their mission endeavors. Special attention is given to liturgical renewal, especially the use of ebibindwom (sacred lyrics) and the dynamics of ethnicity in missions in Ghana during this period. The Methodist Church, Ghana, began as an indigenous initiative in 1831 with a Fante Bible Class in Cape Coast before Wesleyan missionaries joined them in 1835. Tracing its growth through the ministries of Thomas Birch Freeman, the Nananom Mpow incident, the effect of the William Wade Harris and the Sampson Oppong revivals, this study asserts that the Methodist Church, Ghana had a decisive indigenous beginning. Is the Methodist Church, Ghana, therefore an indigenous church? Would it have been so if the MMS missionaries had not been part of it? What is the role of Ghanaian Methodism in the political evolution of Ghana? What do Ghanaians think of present-day Methodism? These and other questions would be addressed in this paper and thus offer a more comprehensive understanding of African Christianity.

D. Cornell University 2010 This dissertation examines the role of Oberlin (the northern Ohio town and its organically connected college of the same name) in the antislavery struggle. It traces the antislavery origins and development of this Western “hot-bed of abolitionism,” and establishes Oberlin—the community, faculty, students, and alumni—as comprising the core of the antislavery movement in the West and one of the most influential and successful groups of abolitionists in antebellum America. Within two years of its founding, Oberlin’s founders had created a teachers’ college and adopted nearly the entire student body of Lane Seminary, who had been dismissed for their advocacy of immediate abolition. Oberlin became the first institute of higher learning to admit men and women of all races. America's most famous revivalist (Charles Grandison Finney) was among its new faculty as were a host of outspoken proponents of immediate emancipation and social reform.

  • “The Other Woman” – Eliza Davis and Charles Dickens
    44 DICKENS QUARTERLY “The Other Woman” – Eliza Davis and Charles Dickens MURRAY# BAUMGARTEN University of California, Santa Cruz he letters Eliza Davis wrote to Charles Dickens, from 22 June 1863 to 8 February 1867, and after his death to his daughter Mamie on 4 August 1870, reveal the increasing self-confidence of English Jews.1 TIn their careful and accurate comments on the power of Dickens’s work in shaping English culture and popular opinion, and their pointed discussion of the ways in which Fagin reinforces antisemitic English and European Jewish stereotypes, they indicate the concern, as Eliza Davis phrases it, of “a scattered nation” to participate fully in the life of “the land in which we have pitched our tents.2” It is worth noting that by 1858 the fits and starts of Jewish Emancipation in England had led, finally, to the seating of Lionel Rothschild in the House of Commons. After being elected for the fifth time from Westminster he was not required, due to a compromise devised by the Earl of Lucan and Benjamin Disraeli, to take the oath on the New Testament as a Christian.3 1 Research for this paper could not have been completed without the able and sustained help of Frank Gravier, Reference Librarian at the University of California, Santa Cruz, Assistant Librarian Laura McClanathan, Lee David Jaffe, Emeritus Librarian, and the detective work of David Paroissien, editor of Dickens Quarterly. I also want to thank Ainsley Henriques, archivist of the Kingston Jewish Community of Jamaica, Dana Evan Kaplan, the rabbi of the Kingston Jewish community, for their help, and the actress Miryam Margolyes for leading the way into genealogical inquiries.
