Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to popular perception, slavery persisted in the North well into the nineteenth century. This was especially the case in New Jersey, the last northern state to pass an abolition statute, in 1804. Because of the nature of the law, which freed children born to enslaved mothers only after they had served their mother's master for more than two decades, slavery continued in New Jersey through the Civil War. Passage of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865 finally destroyed its last vestiges. The Ragged Road to Abolition chronicles the experiences of slaves and free blacks, as well as abolitionists and slaveholders, during slavery's slow northern death. Abolition in New Jersey during the American Revolution was a contested battle, in which constant economic devastation and fears of freed blacks overrunning the state government limited their ability to gain freedom. New Jersey's gradual abolition law kept at least a quarter of the state's black population in some degree of bondage until the 1830s. The sustained presence of slavery limited African American community formation and forced Jersey blacks to structure their households around multiple gradations of freedom while allowing New Jersey slaveholders to participate in the interstate slave trade until the 1850s. Slavery's persistence dulled white understanding of the meaning of black freedom and helped whites to associate "black" with "slave," enabling the further marginalization of New Jersey's growing free black population. By demonstrating how deeply slavery influenced the political, economic, and social life of blacks and whites in New Jersey, this illuminating study shatters the perceived easy dichotomies between North and South or free states and slave states at the onset of the Civil War.

This book was released on 2018-10-11 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Morehead, of Kentucky, on the Admission of California, and the Question of Slavery: Delivered in the House of Representatives of the United States, April 23, 1850 Mill/ir.ch.a1rman From the commencement of the unhappy sectional controver rsy in which we are now e'nga'ged, I have seen and felt its danger in all its length and breadth, and I begleave, 1n advance of What I have to say 011 this occasion, to declare that I am Willing to make any sacrifice, consistent With honor and the just rights of those I represent, to restore quiet and harmony to a distracted country. Bfeeling a deep and engrossing interest 1n the subject, so engmssing as to absorb all mere party allegiance, I do not hesitate further to deblane niy entire Willingness to unite With any party or any set of men, disconnected fi'orn all parties, who Will settle this question upon' a just and enduring basisi That it must be settled, and that it Will be settled, I cannot allow myself to doubt. It Will be settled, if We go about it as becomes patriots and statesmen, deter mined at all hazards to preserve inviolate the Constitution and the form of gov ernment it secures, and under Which we have so long and so happily lived. '3 2 That we have reached a crisis in the history of our country, no one Who hes been an attentive Observer of the signs of the times, it seems to me', can doubt-9 in my judgment a fearful, an alarming crisis. That our political fabric 15 in imminent peril, no one, I think, Who 15 not wilfully blind, can have failed to sée. A deep, pervading, almost universal discontent exists 1111 nearly one-half the States of this Union, at the apprehended fixed purpe's'e and detefminatidii of the other half, having a large majority in this House, to persist in a Eou'r'se of legislation, Which if consummated, will, in my judgment, blast the hopes of the friends of constitutional liberty throughout the World. On 'one side, We have heard of disunion as the ultimate remedy for the threatened evil; While on the other, the not less horrible alternative, of a forced submission, has been rung through this Hall. Profoundly and painfully impressed With this state of th an the short space of time allotted to me, to present my of calm and dispassionate mquiry demanded by the magu of the occasion.
