Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the colonial period onward, black artisans in southern cities--thousands of free and enslaved carpenters, coopers, dressmakers, blacksmiths, saddlers, shoemakers, bricklayers, shipwrights, cabinetmakers, tailors, and others--played vital roles in their communities. Yet only a very few black craftspeople have gained popular and scholarly attention. Catherine W. Bishir remedies this oversight by offering an in-depth portrayal of urban African American artisans in the small but important port city of New Bern. In so doing, she highlights the community's often unrecognized importance in the history of nineteenth-century black life. Drawing upon myriad sources, Bishir brings to life men and women who employed their trade skills, sense of purpose, and community relationships to work for liberty and self-sufficiency, to establish and protect their families, and to assume leadership in churches and associations and in New Bern's dynamic political life during and after the Civil War. Focusing on their words and actions, Crafting Lives provides a new understanding of urban southern black artisans' unique place in the larger picture of American artisan identity.

Download or read book North Carolina s Free People of Color 1715 1885 written by Warren Eugene Milteer Jr. and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2020-07-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In North Carolina’s Free People of Color, 1715–1885, Warren Eugene Milteer Jr. examines the lives of free persons categorized by their communities as “negroes,” “mulattoes,” “mustees,” “Indians,” “mixed-bloods,” or simply “free people of color.” From the colonial period through Reconstruction, lawmakers passed legislation that curbed the rights and privileges of these non-enslaved residents, from prohibiting their testimony against whites to barring them from the ballot box. While such laws suggest that most white North Carolinians desired to limit the freedoms and civil liberties enjoyed by free people of color, Milteer reveals that the two groups often interacted—praying together, working the same land, and occasionally sharing households and starting families. Some free people of color also rose to prominence in their communities, becoming successful businesspeople and winning the respect of their white neighbors. Milteer’s innovative study moves beyond depictions of the American South as a region controlled by a strict racial hierarchy. He contends that although North Carolinians frequently sorted themselves into races imbued with legal and social entitlements—with whites placing themselves above persons of color—those efforts regularly clashed with their concurrent recognition of class, gender, kinship, and occupational distinctions. Whites often determined the position of free nonwhites by designating them as either valuable or expendable members of society. In early North Carolina, free people of color of certain statuses enjoyed access to institutions unavailable even to some whites. Prior to 1835, for instance, some free men of color possessed the right to vote while the law disenfranchised all women, white and nonwhite included. North Carolina’s Free People of Color, 1715–1885 demonstrates that conceptions of race were complex and fluid, defying easy characterization. Despite the reductive labels often assigned to them by whites, free people of color in the state emerged from an array of backgrounds, lived widely varied lives, and created distinct cultures—all of which, Milteer suggests, allowed them to adjust to and counter ever-evolving forms of racial discrimination.

This book was released on 2018-08-25 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Christ Church, New Bern, North Carolina, 1715-1977: Based on Seven Sunday Morning Lectures, November 6-December 18, 1977, During the Second Term of Adult Education Programs The inspirational story of Christ Church as one of the adult education study programs of the parish during the last two months of 1977 was so well received that, by request, it was adapted for publication, so that other parishioners might read about the main accomplishments and personages in the out standing 262-year record. First considered briefly in the classes was the background of world conditions, particularly in England, which led to and made possible the founding of New Bern and the establishment of the local parish. During the Colonial era the history of this parish was virtually that of the city and the region. Then came chronological reviews of the services of the rectors, bishops and other leaders; erection of the three brick edifices, Parish House and Education Building; opening of Cedar Grove Cemetery, schools and missions; organization of two dioceses here; and other significant events. The last two class meetings were held in the church, f Or they dealt with the current buildings and grounds, fortunately inherited from the past; and with many of the fine memorials in the church and churchyard. Statistics prove that anything seen can be better understood and longer remembered than anything heard or read. Special attention was given to the unique and beautiful stained-glass windows. These have been frequently admired by communicants and visitors, but rarely, if ever, had much attention been paid to the worthy church men and women in whose memory they were donated and whose services and ideals should be recognized and emulated. The slogan of San Juan, Puerto Rico, is A City Is Its People. To a certain extent this is also true of congregations and organizations; they are really their people. Literally, history is his-story. When more is known about the former ministers and members of Christ Church, their achievements can be better appreciated. In learning thus to be grateful for the altruistic deeds of predecessors, members are more apt to want to prove worthy of their heritage.
