The Nature of Resistance in South Carolina's Works Progress Administration Ex-Slave Narratives
Author: Gerald J. PiersonPublisher: Universal-Publishers
ISBN: 1581121598
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
The Federal Writers? Project, part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration of the 1930s, collected interviews from over 3500 ex-slaves throughout the United States, including 365 former South Carolina slaves. These narratives are an invaluable resource to those interested in resistance by the last generation of South Carolinians held in bondage. This thesis tells us about the separate worlds inhabited by the Palmetto State's slaves and their owners, and describes, often in the slaves? own words, the resistance precipitated by the friction between these worlds.

Book Description
Excerpt from Slavery in South Carolina and the Ex-Slaves, or the Port Royal Mission Surely, there is aline of right somewhere; surely, there are principles of right necessarily eternal, sin'ce God is; surely, these principles cannot change; surely, circum stances, cannot reach or affect them; surely, there must be laws enforcing those principles; surely, as the prin ples are eternal, the laws cannot change; surely, they must have the strength of the Administration, as apledge of their execution; surely, they must respect all beings alike, must apply to the minutest action. Surely, then, every action must be with, or against those laws, must com pel their eternal approval, or penalty, every action calling upon the laws of eternal justice for the well done, or the penalty. Surely that award, must be as eternal, as the sin, and those laws. Surely a Mediator makes no escape from them. He is not the minister of sin. He only makes obedi ence possible to us. He establishes, the law, dies! That we be forgiven, cleared of its past records, cleansed, and coma pelled to break it no more, through the power that death provides. All this adds awful weight, and dignity, to that law, renders disobedience an eternal insult, not only to the law, 'but to that Mediator, that tenderest grace, that costliest sacrifice. So that disobedience is an insult, not only to the law, which cannot forgive, over look, or fail in penalty, but to that grace, that death, that offering of soul for sin. Surely, then, God, his law, his sacrifice, cannot be slighted, without full penalty. Surely that penalty must be exacted alike of each rational being. Man must be left free to break that law, else no free obedience could he render, from his not being free, or able to disobey. Evidently, when he knows that there is grace provided for him, and offered freely, and available, he is alone responsible for having that grace.

The Work of Reconstruction
Author: Julie SavillePublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521566254
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
This book examines social, political, and cultural conflicts opened by the abolition of slavery and the fashioning of wage relations in the era of the American Civil War. It offers a new, close look at the origins, goals, and tactics of popular political clubs created by emancipated workers in the countryside of one of the Deep South's oldest plantation states. The Work of Reconstruction draws on a rich documentary record that allowed ex-slaves to express in their own words and behavior the aspirations and goals that underlay their efforts. Not satisfied to render freed men and women as objects of theoretical inquiry, this book vividly recovers the concrete practices and language in which ex-slaves achieved freedom and the expectations that they had of liberty.
Remembering Slavery

ISBN: 1620970449
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
The groundbreaking, bestselling history of slavery, with a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed With the publication of the 1619 Project and the national reckoning over racial inequality, the story of slavery has gripped America’s imagination—and conscience—once again. No group of people better understood the power of slavery’s legacies than the last generation of American people who had lived as slaves. Little-known before the first publication of Remembering Slavery over two decades ago, their memories were recorded on paper, and in some cases on primitive recording devices, by WPA workers in the 1930s. A major publishing event, Remembering Slavery captured these extraordinary voices in a single volume for the first time, presenting them as an unprecedented, first-person history of slavery in America. Remembering Slavery received the kind of commercial attention seldom accorded projects of this nature—nationwide reviews as well as extensive coverage on prime-time television, including Good Morning America, Nightline, CBS Sunday Morning, and CNN. Reviewers called the book “chilling . . . [and] riveting” (Publishers Weekly) and “something, truly, truly new” (The Village Voice). With a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize–winning scholar Annette Gordon-Reed, this new edition of Remembering Slavery is an essential text for anyone seeking to understand one of the most basic and essential chapters in our collective history.
