Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Ruggles (1810-1849) was one of the most heroic--and has been one of the most often overlooked--figures of the early abolitionist movement in America. Graham Russell Gao Hodges provides the first biography of this African American activist, writer, publisher, and hydrotherapist who secured liberty for more than six hundred former bond people, the most famous of whom was Frederick Douglass. A forceful, courageous voice for black freedom, Ruggles mentored Douglass, Sojourner Truth, and William Cooper Nell in the skills of antislavery activism. As a founder of the New York Committee of Vigilance, he advocated a "practical abolitionism" that included civil disobedience and self-defense in order to preserve the rights of self-emancipated enslaved people and to protect free blacks from kidnappers who would sell them into slavery in the South. Hodges's narrative places Ruggles in the fractious politics and society of New York, where he moved among the highest ranks of state leaders and spoke up for common black New Yorkers. His work on the Committee of Vigilance inspired many upstate New York and New England whites, who allied with him to form a network that became the Underground Railroad. Hodges's portrait of David Ruggles establishes the abolitionist as an essential link between disparate groups--male and female, black and white, clerical and secular, elite and rank-and-file--recasting the history of antebellum abolitionism as a more integrated and cohesive movement than is often portrayed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can the simple choice of a men’s suit be a moral statement and a political act? When the suit is made of free-labor wool rather than slave-grown cotton. In Moral Commerce, Julie L. Holcomb traces the genealogy of the boycott of slave labor from its seventeenth-century Quaker origins through its late nineteenth-century decline. In their failures and in their successes, in their resilience and their persistence, antislavery consumers help us understand the possibilities and the limitations of moral commerce. Quaker antislavery rhetoric began with protests against the slave trade before expanding to include boycotts of the use and products of slave labor. For more than one hundred years, British and American abolitionists highlighted consumers’ complicity in sustaining slavery. The boycott of slave labor was the first consumer movement to transcend the boundaries of nation, gender, and race in an effort by reformers to change the conditions of production. The movement attracted a broad cross-section of abolitionists: conservative and radical, Quaker and non-Quaker, male and female, white and black. The men and women who boycotted slave labor created diverse, biracial networks that worked to reorganize the transatlantic economy on an ethical basis. Even when they acted locally, supporters embraced a global vision, mobilizing the boycott as a powerful force that could transform the marketplace. For supporters of the boycott, the abolition of slavery was a step toward a broader goal of a just and humane economy. The boycott failed to overcome the power structures that kept slave labor in place; nonetheless, the movement’s historic successes and failures have important implications for modern consumers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address to the Members of the Religious Society of Friends: On the Duty of Declining the Use of the Products of Slave Labour As there are those who believe that the rise or decline of our Society, is intimately connected with the rise or decline of this testimony, to these it becomes a question of very great magnitude. On the other hand, we behold a number of our estimable members, and some who stand in the very front of the society, who profess to see, in the concern, nothing obligatory on them, and who treat its introduction into our religious meetings as an improper intrusion: it, therefore, becomes us to inquire from whence arises this difference of feeling and of conduct? Impressions to perform religious duties, even while individuals are moving under the same precious influence, may be various, in order to qualify the different members to fulfil the various offices designed for them. But it appears reasonable, to suppose, that the outward moral obligations of justice, between man and man, are equally binding upon all, since all are required to do justly and love merry. Whence, then, proceeds this difference in the conduct of good men, towards their suffering fellowcreatures? Time was, and the day is not very remote, when our ministers and elders were themselves slave-holders, and tears, entreaties, and years of labour, were insufficient to induce some of them to relinquish their slaves, and yet, those individuals were deservedly esteemed for their general excellency of character. Here, we see an evidence of the force of custom and tradition, inkreconciling the minds, even of pious men, to things undoubtedly wrong in themselves. Nevertheless, John Woolman and some others, even at that day, saw still further, and, under the humbling visitations of truth, had their understandings so enlightened as to behold, and be enabled to display to others, with convincing clearness, the relation in which the purchaser of these unrighteous gains stood, towards the oppressor, and the oppressed. Let us, now, inquire what has been the progress of this testimony since. About the close of the labours of these early, faithful advocates, a band of valiants were raised up, and on perusing the memorials of deceased Friends, issued by the Yearly Meeting of New-York, striking evidence is afforded of great unity of views and conduct, in this respect. Almost all of them bore their testimony against the use of those articles. But a period of outward prosperity and ease succeeded, and while men slept the enemy sowed tares. Calls to practical righteousness were lost in the louder alarms of unsoundnessof faith and while sailing on the smooth sea of indifference, our whole body were awakened, only by a storm that will long be remembered! an accusing spirit swept over our ocean, wave after wave, of. crimination and recrimination, rolled onward, threatening to engulf every Christian virtue. But when dismay had seized the mariners, and the most skilful could do no more than lash the helm of our frail bark and let her drive, trusting to the mercy of Heaven! It was then, that He, whom the winds and the sea obey, was once more pleased to arise and rebuke the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. Thanksgivings and gratitude are forever due for our deliverance; shall we not then, leaving all speculative doctrines, bring forth fruits of practical righteousness, and returning again to the tendering impressions of our first love, remember the afflicted and those in bonds. We are told, that we are urging the subject too fast. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com
