Many Thousands Gone
Author: Ira BerlinPublisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674020825
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 516
Book Description
Today most Americans, black and white, identify slavery with cotton, the deep South, and the African-American church. But at the beginning of the nineteenth century, after almost two hundred years of African-American life in mainland North America, few slaves grew cotton, lived in the deep South, or embraced Christianity. Many Thousands Gone traces the evolution of black society from the first arrivals in the early seventeenth century through the Revolution. In telling their story, Ira Berlin, a leading historian of southern and African-American life, reintegrates slaves into the history of the American working class and into the tapestry of our nation. Laboring as field hands on tobacco and rice plantations, as skilled artisans in port cities, or soldiers along the frontier, generation after generation of African Americans struggled to create a world of their own in circumstances not of their own making. In a panoramic view that stretches from the North to the Chesapeake Bay and Carolina lowcountry to the Mississippi Valley, Many Thousands Gone reveals the diverse forms that slavery and freedom assumed before cotton was king. We witness the transformation that occurred as the first generations of creole slaves--who worked alongside their owners, free blacks, and indentured whites--gave way to the plantation generations, whose back-breaking labor was the sole engine of their society and whose physical and linguistic isolation sustained African traditions on American soil. As the nature of the slaves' labor changed with place and time, so did the relationship between slave and master, and between slave and society. In this fresh and vivid interpretation, Berlin demonstrates that the meaning of slavery and of race itself was continually renegotiated and redefined, as the nation lurched toward political and economic independence and grappled with the Enlightenment ideals that had inspired its birth.
Negroes and Negro "Slavery:" the first an inferior race: the latter its normal condition

Book Description
"Negroes and Negro "Slavery:" the first an inferior race: the latter its normal condition" by John H. Van Evrie is thought of by many as a difficult book to read. In fact, many might be happy that it was almost lost to time. As a controversial book that aimed to justify the existence of slavery in the USA just a few years after the end of its abolishment, Van Evrie gives a bleak look at what many people living in the United States at the time thought. Though the topic is a difficult one to read about, it's important to be educated on the stubborn and bigoted mindsets that resisted change so history doesn't repeat itself.

Slavery and Politics in the Early American Republic
Author: Matthew MasonPublisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807876631
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Giving close consideration to previously neglected debates, Matthew Mason challenges the common contention that slavery held little political significance in America until the Missouri Crisis of 1819. Mason demonstrates that slavery and politics were enmeshed in the creation of the nation, and in fact there was never a time between the Revolution and the Civil War in which slavery went uncontested. The American Revolution set in motion the split between slave states and free states, but Mason explains that the divide took on greater importance in the early nineteenth century. He examines the partisan and geopolitical uses of slavery, the conflicts between free states and their slaveholding neighbors, and the political impact of African Americans across the country. Offering a full picture of the politics of slavery in the crucial years of the early republic, Mason demonstrates that partisans and patriots, slave and free--and not just abolitionists and advocates of slavery--should be considered important players in the politics of slavery in the United States.

Puynode, a French abolitionist, feeling the importance of this view, strives to show that slavery diminishes the increase of the slave population. De l'Esclavage et des Colonies, p. 35. 3 The Conquerors of the New World, and their Bondsmen, vol. ii, p. 151, gives a striking instance where several thousand Indians and fifty negroes were employed by the Spaniards in transporting the timbers for vessels across the Isthmus. The Indians perished by hundreds--not a single negro died. As early as 1511, the King of Spain directs his Colonial Governor so to act, that the Indians may increase, and not diminish, as in Hispaniola. Ibid, vol. i, p. 232. steady and remarkable increase in the slave population. From a few hundred thousand, they now number more than four millions; and, making allowance for emigration and other causes, the ratio of increase is at least equal to that of the white population of the same States.1 On the contrary, the increase among the free black population of the Northern States, notwithstanding the element of fugitives from the South, and emancipated slaves, shows a ratio of increase very inferior.2 The Census of 1850 shows, also, the fact, that the duration of life is greater among the slaves of the South, than among the free negroes of the North.3 The same unerring testimony also shows, that there are three times as many deaf mutes, four times as many blind, more than three times as many idiots, and more than ten times as many insane, in proportion to numbers, among the free colored persons, than among the slaves. The same is true of the free blacks of Liberia. Notwithstanding the constant...
