Download or read book Southern Discomfort written by Nancy A. Hewitt and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vitally linked to the Caribbean and southern Europe as well as to the Confederacy, the Cigar City of Tampa, Florida, never fit comfortably into the biracial mold of the New South. In Southern Discomfort, the esteemed historian Nancy A. Hewitt explores the interactions among distinct groups of women -- native-born white, African-American, and Cuban and Italian immigrant women -- that shaped women's activism in this vibrant, multiethnic city. Around the turn of the twentieth century, several historical currents converged in Tampa. The city served as a center for exiles organizing on behalf of the Cuban War of Independence and as the disembarkation point for U.S. troops heading to Cuba in 1898. It was the entrepot for thousands of Cuban and Italian immigrants seeking work in the booming cigar trade, and it attracted dozens of itinerant radicals eager to address locally based revolutionary clubs, mutual aid societies, and labor unions. Tampa was also home to an astonishing array of voluntary and reform organizations among black and white native-born women. Emphasizing the process by which women of particular racial, ethnic, and class backgrounds forged and reformulated their activist identities, this masterful volume recasts our understanding of southern history by demonstrating how Tampa's tri-racial networks alternately challenged and reinscribed the South's biracial social and political order.

Download or read book Rebels and Runaways written by Larry E. Rivers and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2012-06-22 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This gripping study examines slave resistance and protest in antebellum Florida and its local and national impact from 1821 to 1865. Using a variety of sources, Larry Eugene Rivers discusses Florida's unique historical significance as a runaway slave haven dating back to the seventeenth century. In moving detail, Rivers illustrates what life was like for enslaved blacks whose families were pulled asunder as they relocated and how they fought back any way they could to control small parts of their own lives. Identifying slave rebellions such as the Stono, Louisiana, Denmark (Telemaque) Vesey, Gabriel, and the Nat Turner insurrections, Rivers argues persuasively that the size, scope, and intensity of black resistance in the Second Seminole War makes it the largest sustained slave insurrection in American history.

Download or read book Alachua County Florida written by Lizzie PRB Jenkins and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alachua County's African American ancestry contributed significantly to the area's history. Onceenslaved pioneers Richard and Juliann Sams settled in Archer as early as 1839. They were former slaves of James M. Parchman, who journeyed through the wilderness from Parchman, Mississippi. They and others shaped the county's history through inventions, education, and work ethics based on spirituality. This book shows people working together, from the early1800s rural farm life, when racial violence was routine, until African Americans broke the chains of injustice and started organizing and controlling civic affairs.

Download or read book African American Pioneers of Orange County Indiana written by Donna Pulliam Griffin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Free African American men, women and children traveled from North Carolina to Orange County, Indiana in search of new opportunities in a less hostile environment in the mid to late 1820s. Against the backdrop of slavery, war, racial tension and unfriendly laws, these early pioneers purchased land in this untamed wilderness. Using the primitive tools available, they cleared the forest, constructed their homes and built a place of worship. They tilled the land as farmers, raising crops to sustain their families, and laid the foundation of what became known as the Lick Creek settlement. You won't find them mentioned in history books, as their lives were too insignificant to historians of the time. However, their names are scattered throughout old musty ledgers, registers, deeds, certificates and probate records in Orange County file cabinets, vaults, drawers and boxes. They were ordinary people living in extraordinary times. These hard working individuals paved the way for future generations who would inherit their strong moral character, good Christian values, a willingness to work hard and true love of family. This work puts flesh on the bones that rest in the old family cemetery and breathes life into their stories. This is an untold part of Orange County, Indiana history.

Download or read book Slavery in Florida written by Larry Eugene Rivers and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2009-03-15 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important illustrated social history of slavery tells what life was like for bond servants in Florida from 1821 to 1865, offering new insights from the perspective of both slave and master. Starting with an overview of the institution as it evolved during the Spanish and English periods, Larry E. Rivers looks in detail and in depth at the slave experience, noting the characteristics of slavery in the Middle Florida plantation belt (the more traditional slave-based, cotton-growing economy and society) as distinct from East and West Florida (which maintained some attitudes and traditions of Spain). He examines the slave family, religion, resistance activity, slaves’ participation in the Civil War, and their social interactions with whites, Indians, other slaves, and masters. Rivers also provides a dramatic account of the hundreds of armed free blacks and runaways among the Seminole, Creek, and Mikasuki Indians on the peninsula, whose presence created tensions leading to the great slave rebellion, the Second Seminole War (1835-42). Slavery in Florida is built upon painstaking research into virtually every source available on the subject--a wealth of historic documents, personal papers, slave testimonies, and census and newspaper reports. This serious critical work strikes a balance between the factual and the interpretive. It will be significant to all readers interested in slavery, the Civil War, the African American experience, and Florida and southern U.S. history, and it could serve as a comprehensive resource for secondary school teachers and students.
