And the desire of Indiana to be clothed upon with shame the strug gle to protect and establish slavery in Illinois and what is recorded in this little monograph, yet from the high viewpoint of the supreme law, it remains true as stated so eloquently by Senator Hoar at the Marietta centennial: Here was the first human government under which absolute civil and religious liberty has always pre vailed. Here no witch was ever hanged or burned. When older states or nations, where the chains of human bondage have been broken, shall utter the proud boast, -vith a great price I obtained this freedom, ' each sister of this imperial group Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Michigan and Wisconsin, may lift up her queenly head with the yet prouder answer, 'but I was free born.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Lincoln Visits Beloit and Janesville Wisconsin written by Lincoln Fellowship of Wisconsin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-12 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln Visits Beloit and Janesville, Wisconsin: Contemporary Accounts of Anti-Slavery Speeches of October 1, 1859 Ith this publication, the Lincoln Fellowship of Wisconsin has now covered in its series of Historical Bulletins all visits of Abraham Lincoln to Wisconsin. The series began in 1943. The 1944 Bulletin contained an historian's account of Lincoln's first trip into Wisconsin (then a territory) when, in 1832, Lincoln was a private in a company of volunteers in the Black Hawk war. The author was Dr. Edward P. Alexander, then director of the Wisconsin Historical Society. The soldiers entered Wisconsin at Turtle, present site of Beloit. The previous annual issue was a reprint, with illustrations, of Lincoln's State Fair address on agriculture, delivered at Milwaukee on Sept. 30, 1859. (lincoln also spoke at the Newhall House in the evening). The 1945 Bulletin was devoted to all visits of Lincoln to the Badger State, but touched only briefly on the beloit-janesville visits. As prepared by the late George P. Hambrecht, first president of the Lincoln Fellowship, the-manuscript included the author's evidence tending to show that, sometime between 18 35 and 1840, Lincoln journeyed to 'sheboygan, by way of Milwaukee and the lake shore, with a View of Opening there a law office. Since these findings are not verified by actual records of Lincoln's day by day activities, as compiled by Lincoln historians, they may be regarded still as lacking full credence.

Download or read book Slave Songs of the United States written by William Francis Allen and published by Applewood Books. This book was released on 1996 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1867, this book is a collection of songs of African-American slaves. A few of the songs were written after the emancipation, but all were inspired by slavery. The wild, sad strains tell, as the sufferers themselves could, of crushed hopes, keen sorrow, and a dull, daily misery, which covered them as hopelessly as the fog from the rice swamps. On the other hand, the words breathe a trusting faith in the life after, to which their eyes seem constantly turned.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Views of Judge Woodward and Bishop Hopkins on Negro Slavery at the South: Illustrated From the Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation The third proof that Slavery was authorized by the Almighty occurs in the last of the Ten Commandments, delivered from Mount Sinai, and universally acknowledged by Jews and Christians as The llforal Law, ' Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, noranything that is thy neighbor's.' (exod. 20 Here it is evident that the principle of property, anything that is thy neighbor's, ' - runs through the whole. I am quite aware, indeed, of the prejudice which many good people entertain against the idea of property in a human being, and shall consider it in due time amongst the objections. I am equally aware that the wives of our day may take umbrage at the law, which places them in the same sentence with the slave, and even with the house and the cattle. But the truth is none the less certain. - bishop hopkins's letter, page 2. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Muslim American Slave written by Omar Ibn Said and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2011-07-20 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born to a wealthy family in West Africa around 1770, Omar Ibn Said was abducted and sold into slavery in the United States, where he came to the attention of a prominent North Carolina family after filling “the walls of his room with piteous petitions to be released, all written in the Arabic language,” as one local newspaper reported. Ibn Said soon became a local celebrity, and in 1831 he was asked to write his life story, producing the only known surviving American slave narrative written in Arabic. In A Muslim American Slave, scholar and translator Ala Alryyes offers both a definitive translation and an authoritative edition of this singularly important work, lending new insights into the early history of Islam in America and exploring the multiple, shifting interpretations of Ibn Said’s narrative by the nineteenth-century missionaries, ethnographers, and intellectuals who championed it. This edition presents the English translation on pages facing facsimile pages of Ibn Said’s Arabic narrative, augmented by Alryyes’s comprehensive introduction, contextual essays and historical commentary by leading literary critics and scholars of Islam and the African diaspora, photographs, maps, and other writings by Omar Ibn Said. The result is an invaluable addition to our understanding of writings by enslaved Americans and a timely reminder that “Islam” and “America” are not mutually exclusive terms. This edition presents the English translation on pages facing facsimile pages of Ibn Said’s Arabic narrative, augmented by Alryyes’s comprehensive introduction and by photographs, maps, and other writings by Omar Ibn Said.
