Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Anti-Slavery Days: Proceedings of the Commemorative Meeting, Held by the Danvers Historical Society, at the Town Hall, Danvers, April 26, 1893, With Introduction, Letters and Sketches The anti-slavery enterprise, in its whole inception and aim, its progress and development, and its ultimate success, was, as ilias often and truly been said, one of the grandest moral move ments in the centuries and in view of the fact that it belongs to the history of our own country, while its effects and influences reach out, more and more, far beyond our territorial limits, it wvould seem that here indeed is a matter for inquiry and consider ation on the part of such of our American societies as profess to ee, or are supposed to be, devoted to the study of the past, how ever little, as yet, they have given their attention to it. No subject, no event, no epoch, no chapter of our national annals, can more properly claim their thought and research, and none mm more abundantly reward investigation. But especially desir able and important is it, to gather up the necessary materials for the story, while so many of the real actors in the drama still sur vive and are able to give their testimony and relate their personal experience or recollections in relation to it. Such contributions are of exceptional and incalculable value. In the not distant future they may not be given as now, and it is plainly the duty of our societies, large or small, older or younger, to do what they can and may to procure and put on record facts or memories of the con ict which are more or less likely to be forgotten or aiegleeted, but which should be made to live and fulfil their appro priate ministry. The Danvers meeting, while of course it re hearsed much that was alreadv well known, had also the merit ordistinction of eliciting much that was fresh and new. And thus of helping, in some humble way, to the desired result. Many of those who were there, thirty years after the Proclamation of Eman cipation by President Lincoln, must have realized that thev were gaining some better view and sense of the nature of slavery and of the power that contended against it and brought it to destruc tion, than they had had before they came together. Nor was the meeting less helpful to this end because it was so free and popu lar in its spirit and abounded so much in personal allusions and remembrances and earnest sentiment and feeling, instead of being occupied with some formal and labored historical or philosophical disquisition on the general subject. It answered its purpose best, because it was so vivid a life-picture of what it sought to recall and commemorate. As such, it was a true and genuine study of history itself.

Download or read book The Slave s Cause written by Manisha Sinha and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 809 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Traces the history of abolition from the 1600s to the 1860s . . . a valuable addition to our understanding of the role of race and racism in America.”—Florida Courier Received historical wisdom casts abolitionists as bourgeois, mostly white reformers burdened by racial paternalism and economic conservatism. Manisha Sinha overturns this image, broadening her scope beyond the antebellum period usually associated with abolitionism and recasting it as a radical social movement in which men and women, black and white, free and enslaved found common ground in causes ranging from feminism and utopian socialism to anti-imperialism and efforts to defend the rights of labor. Drawing on extensive archival research, including newly discovered letters and pamphlets, Sinha documents the influence of the Haitian Revolution and the centrality of slave resistance in shaping the ideology and tactics of abolition. This book is a comprehensive history of the abolition movement in a transnational context. It illustrates how the abolitionist vision ultimately linked the slave’s cause to the struggle to redefine American democracy and human rights across the globe. “A full history of the men and women who truly made us free.”—Ira Berlin, The New York Times Book Review “A stunning new history of abolitionism . . . [Sinha] plugs abolitionism back into the history of anticapitalist protest.”—The Atlantic “Will deservedly take its place alongside the equally magisterial works of Ira Berlin on slavery and Eric Foner on the Reconstruction Era.”—The Wall Street Journal “A powerfully unfamiliar look at the struggle to end slavery in the United States . . . as multifaceted as the movement it chronicles.”—The Boston Globe

Download or read book Remembering Slavery written by Marc Favreau and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The groundbreaking, bestselling history of slavery, with a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed With the publication of the 1619 Project and the national reckoning over racial inequality, the story of slavery has gripped America’s imagination—and conscience—once again. No group of people better understood the power of slavery’s legacies than the last generation of American people who had lived as slaves. Little-known before the first publication of Remembering Slavery over two decades ago, their memories were recorded on paper, and in some cases on primitive recording devices, by WPA workers in the 1930s. A major publishing event, Remembering Slavery captured these extraordinary voices in a single volume for the first time, presenting them as an unprecedented, first-person history of slavery in America. Remembering Slavery received the kind of commercial attention seldom accorded projects of this nature—nationwide reviews as well as extensive coverage on prime-time television, including Good Morning America, Nightline, CBS Sunday Morning, and CNN. Reviewers called the book “chilling . . . [and] riveting” (Publishers Weekly) and “something, truly, truly new” (The Village Voice). With a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize–winning scholar Annette Gordon-Reed, this new edition of Remembering Slavery is an essential text for anyone seeking to understand one of the most basic and essential chapters in our collective history.
