Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Anti-Slavery Reporter, Vol. 3: December 1, 1834 With respect to the former point, we need only to repeat What we said on the publication of the first of these two pamphlets, in 1826, (see anti-slavery Reporter, No. 11, p. - that the author might have spared all the pains he has taken to convince the world that the views now entertained by the leading abolitionists on the subject of the necessity and expediency of legislative interference, with respect to colonial slavery, have undergone a great change since 1792, and even since 1807. This fact is so far from having been denied, that it has been fully and freely admitted. Nay, it stands prominently forward as the very ground on which, in 1823, the men of 1792 and of 1807 formed themselves into a Society, for the avowed purpose of abolishing slavery in every part of the British dominions. But, (we then asked, as we now ask again) if the abolitionists formerly See substance of the Debate of the 15th of May, 1823. Preface, pp. 10, I1.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Anti-Slavery Reporter, Vol. 4: February 1, 1831 As early as the month of December, 1827, immediately on the close of the Inquiry, in the Reporter numbered 31, we took occasion briefly to explain some of the reasons which appeared to us to have produced that determination; on not one of which, though he must have read the article in question, has he condescended to bestow the slightest notice. For his sake therefore, as well as for the sake of those to whom his letter is addressed, we will now transcribe the passage. After a brief review of the effect of the evidence adduced before the Privy Council on that occasion, we thus proceed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Anti-Slavery Reporter, Vol. 5: October 1, 1832 With his wife and adopted family now assembled around him, the old man (so Mr. Barclay styles him) perhaps looked forward to the enjoyment of comfort in their society during the remaining years of his life; but his prospect of happiness was soon closed. A new overseer came to Chiswick estate, who, upon some cause of complaint against Joseph, sent him to the workhouse of St. Thomas in the East! There strict discipline, hard labour, and hard fare, wore down his body and his spirit. He returned to Chiswick, at the term of his confinement, an altered man; and a few months closed the career of this wealthy slave, (the other name by which Mr. Barclay designates him). We do not mean, adds the editor, to accuse the overseer of Chiswick of hav ing acted with causeless severity towards Joseph Marriott; he had been an indulged slave, and perhaps forgot his station nor would we lead our readers to under stand that he was treated in the St. Thomas' in the East workhouse with a harshness beyond the discipline of a house of correction: he had been an ia dulged slave, and was now an old man, ' and the consequence we have described might haw; been produced without unusual severity. We wish only to show the working of the present system of slavery and to lead our readers to appreciate the words of Mr. Barclay, when he says here is a wealthy slave purchasing the manumission of a woman with a large family, ' who had yet no wish to change his own condition.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anti-Slavery Reporter, Vol. 1: A Periodical, Containing Justice and Expediency, or Slavery Considered With a View to Its Rightful and Effectual Remedy, Abolition; No; 4 Toeounteraet the dangers resulting from a state of society so utterly at variance with the Great Declaration of American Freedom, should be the earnest endeavor ofevery patriotic states man. Nothing unconstitutional, nothing vim lent should be attempted but the true doctrine of the rights of man should be steadily kept in view; and the opposition to slavery should be inflexible and constantly maintained. The al most daily violation of the constitution in con sequence of the laws ofsome of the slave states, subjecting free colored citizens of new-eng land and elsewhere, who may happen to be on board our coasting vessels, to imprisonment immediately on their arrival in asouthern port, should be provided against. Nor should the imprisonment of the free-colored citizens of the Northern and Middle states, on suspicion of being runaways, subjecting them even after being pronounced free, to the costs of their con finement and trial, be longer tolerated; for if we continue to yield to innovations like these upon the constitution of our fathers, we shall ere long have the name of a free government left us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Anti-Slavery Reporter, Vol. 3: August 1, 1830 And now, after the question ofcolonial slavery has for so many years been familiar to the House, and I fear still more familiar to the country, I would fain hope that I may dispense with the irksome task of dragging you through its details, from their multiplicity so overwhelming, from their miserable nature so afflicting. But I am aware that in the thres hold of the scene, and to scare me from entering upon it, there stands the phantom of colonial independence, resisting parliamentary inter ference, fatiguing the ear with the thrice-told tale of their ignorance who see from afar off, and pointing to the fatal issue of the American war. There needs but one steady glance to brush all such spectres away. That the colonial legislatures have rights - that their privileges are to be respected - that their province is not to be lightly invaded that the parliament of the mother country is not without necessity to trench on their independence - no man more than myself is willing to allow. But when those local assemblies utterly neglect their first duties - when we see them from the circumstances of their situation prevented from acting - struggling in these trammels for an independent existence - exhausted in the effort to stand alone - and to move one step wholly unable; - when at any rate we wait for years, and perceive that they advance not by a hair's breadth, either because they cannot, or be cause they dare not, or because they will not;-then to contend that we should not interfere - that we should fail in our duty because they do not theirs - nay, that we have no right to act, because they have no power or no inclination to obey us, would be not an argument, but an abomination, a gross insult to Parliament, a mockery of our privileges for I trust that we too have some left - a shameful abandonment of our duty, and a portentous novelty in the history of parliament, the planta tions, and the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anti-Slavery Monthly Reporter, Vol. 1: Commencing June 1825, and Ending May 1827 The Committee of the "London Society for the Mitigation and gradual Abolition of Slavery throughout the British Dominions," have felt, in common with their friends in all parts of the kingdom, the want of a regular medium of communication concerning the progress of the work in which they are engaged. To this want, probably, are to be attributed the misconceptions which have occasionally been formed respecting the design and objects of the Society, but more frequently respecting the means which are deemed by the Committee most desirable to be employed. With a view to supply this deficiency, the Committee propose to publish Monthly a sheet of the size of the present, which shall contain extracts from their correspondence, and such other intelligence relating to the purposes of their institution, as their acquaintance with the subject may enable them to furnish. The publication to be named the u Anti-Slavery Monthly Reporter,99 will be ready for delivery on the last day of every month. Copies will be forwarded, at the request of any Anti-Slavery Society, at the rate of four shillings per hundred, provided the order for them be received within the month immediately following the date of each Number. It is requested that all persons wishing to receive a regular supply, will make application to the Secretary, at the Society's office, No. IS, Alderman bury, and mention the conveyance by which they may be most conveniently sent They might in many cases be sent at very little expense, enclosed in booksellers' parcels, or along with the Monthly Publications of the various religious or charitable Societies; permission to that effect being obtained from the country booksellers or others to whom the parcels are addressed. It is further earnestly recommended by the Committee to all the friends of Negro improvement, to promote the circulation of the intelligence contained in the "Anti-Slavery Reporter," by lending their own copies, or encouraging others to purchase at the Depots of the several Societies, The Committee anticipate much benefit from the proposed publication, provided it be encouraged, as they trust it will be, by their friends throughout the country. In particular they calculate upon a large accession of strength to their cause from numerous and influential classes of the community, - not yet sufficiently informed respecting the objects and proceedings of the Society, but who need only to be fully assured that any undertaking which challenges their support, is on the aide of justice and humanity, and unexceptionably prosecuted, in order cordially and effectually to espouse it. Such an undertaking the Committee believe theirs to be; and they confidently submit it, together with all their measures, to be canvassed by their countrymen of the United Kingdom. The present measure is adopted at the request of several of their correspondents, and with their own full concurrence in its expediency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suicide is a quintessentially individual act, yet one with unexpectedly broad social implications. Though seen today as a private phenomenon, in the uncertain aftermath of the American Revolution this personal act seemed to many to be a public threat that held no less than the fate of the fledgling Republic in its grip. Salacious novelists and eager newspapermen broadcast images of a young nation rapidly destroying itself. Parents, physicians, ministers, and magistrates debated the meaning of self-destruction and whether it could (or should) be prevented. Jailers and justice officials rushed to thwart condemned prisoners who made halters from bedsheets, while abolitionists used slave suicides as testimony to both the ravages of the peculiar institution and the humanity of its victims. Struggling to create a viable political community out of extraordinary national turmoil, these interest groups invoked self-murder as a means to confront the most consequential questions facing the newly united states: What is the appropriate balance between individual liberty and social order? Who owns the self? And how far should the control of the state (or the church, or a husband, or a master) extend over the individual?With visceral prose and an abundance of evocative primary sources, Richard Bell lays bare the ways in which self-destruction in early America was perceived as a transgressive challenge to embodied authority, a portent of both danger and possibility. His unique study of suicide between the Revolution and Reconstruction uncovers what was at stake-personally and politically-in the nation's fraught first decades.
Download or read book As If She Were Free written by Erica L. Ball and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-08 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As If She Were Free brings together the biographies of twenty-four women of African descent to reveal how enslaved and recently freed women sought, imagined, and found freedom from the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries in the Americas. Our biographical approach allows readers to view large social processes – migration, trade, enslavement, emancipation – through the perspective of individual women moving across the boundaries of slavery and freedom. For some women, freedom meant liberation and legal protection from slavery, while others focused on gaining economic, personal, political, and social rights. Rather than simply defining emancipation as a legal status that was conferred by those in authority and framing women as passive recipients of freedom, these life stories demonstrate that women were agents of emancipation, claiming free status in the courts, fighting for liberty, and defining and experiencing freedom in a surprising and inspiring range of ways.
