Early next morning, I left them playing their “fan- dango” play. I wept as I looked at them enjoying their innocent play, and thought it was the last time I should ever see them, for I was determined never to return alive. To run by day or by night? To flee on a road or in the woods? To rely upon sub- terfuge or unadulterated boldness? These were life-or-death decisions for a fugitive slave.

  • [Review Of] C. Peter Ripley, Ed. the Black Abolitionist Papers, Vol. 1
    C. Peter Ripley, ed. The Black Abolitionist Papers. Vol. I: The British Isles, 1880-1865. (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1985) xxx, 609 pp., $40.00. From 1830 until 1865, hundreds of American, Canadian, and West Indian blacks went to the British Isles and became active in the antislavery movement, which in 1833 reached a peak there with abolition of slavery in the Empire but was only beginning to gain momentum in the United States. They represented the full spectrum of free or fugitive Western Hemisphere blacks: some were well-known antislavery speakers and writers such as Frederick Douglass and Martin Delany; others were originally unknowns such as John Andrew Jackson, who spoke in "the peculiar broken dialect of the negro," and John Brown, whose language was "of the rudest but most impressive character." A few, as for example William Nixon, resorted to fraudand were imprisoned, or, like Alexander Duval, were reduced to begging in the streets of London. Several were women, most notably Ellen Craft and Sarah Remond. Speaking in public, publishing books and pamphlets and writing for newspapers, and collecting money and goods for causes as varied as founding settlements in Canada, supporting black schools and news­ papers, and buying the freedom of relatives, these energetic and in­ genious people come to be known collectively as the Black Abolitionists. From diverse backgrounds and with no central organization, they nevertheless successfully pursued the common goal of persuading "the British public to place its moral [and financial] support behind the crusade to end American slavery." The story of these courageous people is now generally available in the first volume of a projected five-volume documentary series on the black abolitionists in Britain, Canada, and the United States.

The narrator notes that Ross lives in "a nice little white house, on the right hand side of King street as you go in from the country towards the market." The right-hand side? Was that level of precision necessary? Because people challenged the veracity of slave narratives at the time they were published, details mattered very much. But the level of specificity in this instance caught my eye. The facts were borne out: property records in the Charleston County Register Mesne Conveyance Deeds office show that in 1831, a James L. Ross, known also as "Major Ross," purchased a house situated on the west side of King Street, just a few blocks north of the market. If you were entering the city of Charleston from the country, Ross' house would indeed have been on the right-hand side (fig 1).

  • Abstract Hirn, Lincoln Michael
    ABSTRACT HIRN, LINCOLN MICHAEL. “Such Outrageous Crimes to Human Beings”: Portrayals of the Domestic Slave Trade in Nineteenth-Century Slave Narratives. (Under the direction of Dr. Craig Friend). This thesis argues that the narrators of nineteenth century slave narratives used their knowledge of America’s economy of enslavement to condemn the cruelty of White enslavers, showcase the morality of enslaved people, and depict the triumphant liberation of enslaved people. The first chapter contends that formerly enslaved authors used existing patterns of resistance, borne of a deep knowledge of the domestic slave trade, as the basis for a literary resistance that relied on economic expertise to prove the importance of the slave trade to white Southern life. The second chapter argues that slave narratives used the slave trade as a link by which they connected white immorality and cruelty to Black morality and fidelity. Finally, the third chapter examines depictions of Black reunification and liberation and finds that Black authors subverted the language of the slave trade in order to create an oppositional vocabulary of redemption. Taken together, the chapters support the central argument: that enslaved resistors were experts in the systems of their own oppression, and they used that knowledge to create resistant spaces wherever possible. © Copyright 2021 by Lincoln Hirn All Rights Reserved “Such Outrageous Crimes to Human Beings”: Portrayals of the Domestic Slave Trade in Nineteenth-Century Slave Narratives by Lincoln Michael Hirn A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of North Carolina State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts History Raleigh, North Carolina 2021 APPROVED BY: _______________________________ _______________________________ Craig Friend Julia Rudolph Committee Chair _______________________________ Susanna Lee DEDICATION To my parents, for a lifetime of love and support.

The Deteriorating Treatment of Slaves in the Palmetto State in the Mid-Nineteenth Century By Samuel Benke Abstract: Slavery, in and of itself, is a despicable institution. It degraded the enslaved and inflated the power of the owners to near omnipotent levels. Slavery has been portrayed in two different ways: one, as a fantasy on thinking where slavery was a benevolent institution that taught slaves how to be civil and Christian, while the other takes a more realistic approach exposing the harsh brutalities of slavery and the adverse effects that the institution had on the enslaved. This paper seeks to give the reader a more thorough understanding of slavery as it existed in the antebellum South Carolina and how the conditions of slavery worsened as the nation grew further disunited.

    SLAVE HOUNDS AND ABOLITION IN THE AMERICAS* Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/past/article/246/1/69/5722095 by guest on 30 September 2021 I INTRODUCTION In 1824 an anonymous Scotsman travelled through Jamaica to survey the island’s sugar plantations and social conditions. Notably, his journal describes an encounter with a formidable dog and its astonishing interaction with the enslaved. The traveller’s host, a Mr McJames, made ‘him a present of a fine bloodhound’ descended from a breed used for ‘hunting Maroons’ during Jamaica’s Second Maroon War almost three decades earlier.1 The maroons had surrendered to the British partly out of terror of these dogs, a Cuban breed that officials were promoting for use in Jamaica on account of their effectiveness in quelling black resistance.2 Unfamiliar with the breed, the traveller observed its ‘astounding ...aversion ...to the slaves’. For instance, when a young slave entered his room to wake him early one morning, the animal viciously charged the boy. The Scotsman judged that, without his intervention, the * We should like to thank Matt D.

During the Civil War Era, northern conservatives helped push Abraham Lincoln into the White House in 1860, and then forced an end to Reconstruction in 1877. While many historians have examined their motivations, they often lump conservatives in the northeast states with those in the West. Due to the state’s population makeup, conservatives never lost their political punch in Indiana, making the state an ideal location to study western conservatives.
