Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Notes on the Employment of Negroes in the American Army of the Revolution The employment of negroes became a subject of importance at an early stage of the American War of Independence. The British naturally regarded slavery as an element of weakness in the condition of the colonies, in which the slaves were numerous, and laid their plans to gain the blacks, and induce them to take up arms against their masters, by promising them their liberty, on this condition. One of the earliest and most powerful American Writers against Slavery (the famous Dr. Hopkins) wrote thus in 1776: "God is so ordering it in his providence, that it seems absolutely necessary something should speedily be done with respect to the slaves among us, in order to our safety, and to prevent their turning against us in our present struggle, in order to get their liberty. Our oppressors have planned to gain the blacks, and induce them to take up arms against us, by promising them liberty on this condition; and this plan they are prosecuting to the utmost of their power, by which means they have persuaded numbers to join them.

Les acheteurs peuvent generalement telecharger une copie gratuite scannee du livre original (sans les coquilles) aupres de l'editeur. Non reference. Non illustre. 1913 edition. Extrait: ...The recruiting laws made eligible for service "all male persons, hired servants and apprentices above the age of sixteen and under fifty,"109 but did not permit the enlistment of slaves or of servants bound to serve till thirty-one years of age.110 That free negroes were enlisted under these laws there is no room for doubt. A letter written April 24, 1783, to the governor by William Reynolds, commissary of military stores, states that James Day had been accused of "transgressing in defrauding a black soldier and through a hasty & rather unfair hearing was ordered to prison where he now lies punishing."111 In 1777 an act of Assembly designated drumming, fifing, and pioneering for the employment of the free mulattoes of the company.112 Runaway slaves pretending to be free were accepted for enlistment to an extent that demanded in 1777 an act which required of every negro a certificate from a justice of the peace that he was a free man before he could be admitted into the army.113 Some white slave-owners preferred to offer their slaves as substitutes rather than render personal service in the army. In order to induce the negroes to enlist and to get them accepted they were presented for substitutes as if they were free. When the war was over, a law was passed to make good the promise of such masters by declaring free all negroes who had served in the war, and by further providing that any such negro held as a slave could recover damages by a suit at no expense to himself.114 107 Hening, vol. v, p. 17 (1748); vol. vi, p. 533 (1755); vol. vii, p. 95 (I7S7). 108 Cf.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making Slavery History focuses on how commemorative practices and historical arguments about the American Revolution set the course for antislavery politics in the nineteenth century. The particular setting is a time and place in which people were hyperconscious of their roles as historical actors and narrators: Massachusetts in the period between the Revolution and the Civil War. This book shows how local abolitionists, both black and white, drew on their state's Revolutionary heritage to mobilize public opposition to Southern slavery. When it came to securing the citizenship of free people of color within the Commonwealth, though, black and white abolitionists diverged in terms of how they idealized black historical agency. Although it is often claimed that slavery in New England is a history long concealed, Making Slavery History finds it hidden in plain sight. From memories of Phillis Wheatley and Crispus Attucks to representations of black men at the Battle of Bunker Hill, evidence of the local history of slavery cropped up repeatedly in early national Massachusetts. In fixing attention on these seemingly marginal presences, this book demonstrates that slavery was unavoidably entangled in the commemorative culture of the early republic-even in a place that touted itself as the "cradle of liberty." Transcending the particular contexts of Massachusetts and the early American republic, this book is centrally concerned with the relationship between two ways of making history, through social and political transformation on the one hand and through commemoration, narration, and representation on the other. Making Slavery History examines the relationships between memory and social change, between histories of slavery and dreams of freedom, and between the stories we tell ourselves about who we have been and the possibilities we perceive for who we might become.
