Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Freed Family My Dear John: It may in the future be interesting to you to look over the pages of this volume. They will loom up as a retrospective, as well as a prospective, mirror; in which you will see your ancestors in this country, who found it expedient to leave the native land on account of religious persecution; and seek a home in the forests of America. They would naturally look back to their native land, and think of "Home sweet Home." Though that home has been the battlefield of the thirty years' war between France and Germany. During that time it was ravaged of its wealth and beauty. Yet there was some attraction and beauty which the armies could not move nor destroy, the mighty mountains. As they looked to the southeast, the northeast, or the northwest, they could see the lofty Alps; looming up in their grandeur and attractiveness; peak after peak, ranging from 3000 to about 10,000 feet above the sea level. They would think of their childhood, early manhood and early womanhood; realizing the thought of home, of "yes, my native land, I love thee." War between the Germans on the one side, and the French and English on the other side, is now raging with terrible slaughter on the same battlefield (September 1, 1914).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Almost Free, Eva Sheppard Wolf uses the story of Samuel Johnson, a free black man from Virginia attempting to free his family, to add detail and depth to our understanding of the lives of free blacks in the South. There were several paths to freedom for slaves, each of them difficult. After ten years of elaborate dealings and negotiations, Johnson earned manumission in August 1812. An illiterate “mulatto” who had worked at the tavern in Warrenton as a slave, Johnson as a freeman was an anomaly, since free blacks made up only 3 percent of Virginia’s population. Johnson stayed in Fauquier County and managed to buy his enslaved family, but the law of the time required that they leave Virginia if Johnson freed them. Johnson opted to stay. Because slaves’ marriages had no legal standing, Johnson was not legally married to his enslaved wife, and in the event of his death his family would be sold to new owners. Johnson’s story dramatically illustrates the many harsh realities and cruel ironies faced by blacks in a society hostile to their freedom. Wolf argues that despite the many obstacles Johnson and others faced, race relations were more flexible during the early American republic than is commonly believed. It could actually be easier for a free black man to earn the favor of elite whites than it would be for blacks in general in the post-Reconstruction South. Wolf demonstrates the ways in which race was constructed by individuals in their day-to-day interactions, arguing that racial status was not simply a legal fact but a fluid and changeable condition. Almost Free looks beyond the majority experience, focusing on those at society’s edges to gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of freedom in the slaveholding South.

Download or read book Help Me to Find My People written by Heather Andrea Williams and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Civil War, African Americans placed poignant "information wanted" advertisements in newspapers, searching for missing family members. Inspired by the power of these ads, Heather Andrea Williams uses slave narratives, letters, interviews, public records, and diaries to guide readers back to devastating moments of family separation during slavery when people were sold away from parents, siblings, spouses, and children. Williams explores the heartbreaking stories of separation and the long, usually unsuccessful journeys toward reunification. Examining the interior lives of the enslaved and freedpeople as they tried to come to terms with great loss, Williams grounds their grief, fear, anger, longing, frustration, and hope in the history of American slavery and the domestic slave trade. Williams follows those who were separated, chronicles their searches, and documents the rare experience of reunion. She also explores the sympathy, indifference, hostility, or empathy expressed by whites about sundered black families. Williams shows how searches for family members in the post-Civil War era continue to reverberate in African American culture in the ongoing search for family history and connection across generations.
