Jacobs, on the Free Colored Population of Maryland: Delivered in the House of Delegates, on the 17th of February, 1860 In the House of Delegates, Feb. 17, 1860, the Bills of the Committee on Colored Population being under consideration, Mr. Burgess, of Charles county, moved to substitute bills upon the same subject, submitted by Mr. Dennis, of Somerset county. After some debate on points of order, and upon the motion to substitute, which brought up the merits of the bills of the Committee then under consideration, Col. Jacobs, who is Chairman of the Committee, arose and said: Mr. Speaker: As in the history of individuals, events transpire that modulate and control their future destiny in this world - so it is in the history of governments. History teaches us that governments like human systems have their regular periods of growth, maturity, decline and extinction; and while it is little more than a dismal record of the crimes and the calamities of the human race, it also teaches us that the ignorance, avarice, wickedness and ambition of mankind may be assigned as the general causes of the downfall of government. Living as we do it the middle of this nineteenth century with the lights of Christianity all around us, and the knowledge of past centuries, the rapid progress of the present age in the arts, literature and sciences, all shedding a halo of light upon our career as a people; and blessed by high Heaven with one of the best forms of government ever instituted for man's civil, religious and political liberty - I say, surrounded as we are by those great blessings, it would seem that peace and plenty on the one hand, and contentment and happiness on the other, ought to characteristic our people and secure the perpetuity of our glorious institutions.

Download or read book The Men of Mobtown written by Adam Malka and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if racialized mass incarceration is not a perversion of our criminal justice system's liberal ideals, but rather a natural conclusion? Adam Malka raises this disturbing possibility through a gripping look at the origins of modern policing in the influential hub of Baltimore during and after slavery's final decades. He argues that America's new professional police forces and prisons were developed to expand, not curb, the reach of white vigilantes, and are best understood as a uniformed wing of the gangs that controlled free black people by branding them—and treating them—as criminals. The post–Civil War triumph of liberal ideals thus also marked a triumph of an institutionalized belief in black criminality. Mass incarceration may be a recent phenomenon, but the problems that undergird the "new Jim Crow" are very, very old. As Malka makes clear, a real reckoning with this national calamity requires not easy reforms but a deeper, more radical effort to overcome the racial legacies encoded into the very DNA of our police institutions.
Download or read book The City in American Political Development written by Richardson Dilworth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are nearly 20,000 general-purpose municipal governments—cities—in the United States, employing more people than the federal government. About twenty of those cities received charters of incorporation well before ratification of the U.S. Constitution, and several others were established urban centers more than a century before the American Revolution. Yet despite their estimable size and prevalence in the United States, city government and politics has been a woefully neglected topic within the recent study of American political development. The volume brings together some of the best of both the most established and the newest urban scholars in political science, sociology, and history, each of whom makes a new argument for rethinking the relationship between cities and the larger project of state-building. Each chapter shows explicitly how the American city demonstrates durable shifts in governing authority throughout the nation’s history. By filling an important gap in scholarship the book will thus become an indispensable part of the American political development canon, a crucial component of graduate and undergraduate courses in APD, urban politics, urban sociology, and urban history, and a key guide for future scholarship.

Download or read book Haiti s Influence on Antebellum America written by Alfred N. Hunt and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2006-08-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Haitian Revolution began in 1791 as a slave revolt on the French colonial island of Saint Domingue and ended thirteen years later with the founding of an independent black republic. Waves of French West Indians -- slaves, white colonists, and free blacks -- fled the upheaval and flooded southern U.S. ports -- most notably New Orleans -- bringing with them everything from French opera to voodoo. Alfred N. Hunt discusses the ways these immigrants affected southern agriculture, architecture, language, politics, medicine, religion, and the arts. He also considers how the events in Haiti influenced the American slavery-emancipation debate and spurred developments in black militancy and Pan-Africanism in the United States. By effecting the development of racial ideology in antebellum America, Hunt concludes, the Haitian Revolution was a major contributing factor to the attitudes that led to the Civil War.
Download or read book Making Freedom written by R. J. M. Blackett and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2013-09-30 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1850 Fugitive Slave Law, which mandated action to aid in the recovery of runaway slaves and denied fugitives legal rights if they were apprehended, quickly became a focal point in the debate over the future of slavery and the nature of the union. In Making Freedom, R. J. M. Blackett uses the experiences of escaped slaves and those who aided them to explore the inner workings of the Underground Railroad and the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law, while shedding light on the political effects of slave escape in southern states, border states, and the North. Blackett highlights the lives of those who escaped, the impact of the fugitive slave cases, and the extent to which slaves planning to escape were aided by free blacks, fellow slaves, and outsiders who went south to entice them to escape. Using these stories of particular individuals, moments, and communities, Blackett shows how slave flight shaped national politics as the South witnessed slavery beginning to collapse and the North experienced a threat to its freedom.

Book excerpt: One of the great unsung Negroes of American history is Dr. Daniel Hale Williams. Why have so few people heard of him? In 1893 Dr. Williams performed the world's first successful heart operation. Why is this not a well-known fact? These are the facts and questions that stimulated Helen Buckler to spend 10 years in 14 States, with hundreds of people and government archives, documents, and records in order to unearth the life story of America's first Negro surgeon and the facts and circumstances of his history-making achievement. The search led from question to question. Where did he acquire the knowledge and skill for this operation only 30 years after emancipation? What happened to him after he achieved this medical breakthrough? What did he do to help the cause of his own race? Why did some Negroes worship him and some hate and fear him? Why was he called "disloyal" and was he really? Since he looked white, why didn't he "go white"? From the answers emerge not only the fascinating portrait of a complex and gifted man, but a revealing picture of Negro life and history from 1856-1931. _Daniel Hale Williams_ is a glowing tribute to a great man which reads the power and drama of fiction.
