Book excerpt: Though Massachusetts banned slavery in 1780, prior to the Civil War a law prohibiting marriage between whites and blacks reinforced the state’s racial caste system.

Download or read book Persistence of Memories of Slavery and Emancipation in Historical Andover written by Edward L. Bell and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical Andover--which includes North Andover and Lawrence--became famous as a hot center of pre-Civil War antislavery activism. Why then was a 100-year-old Andover woman officially counted as a "slave" in the 1830 federal census for Massachusetts, a "free" state that had abolished slavery? And who was Rosanna Coburn, still remembered as the "last slave" born in Andover? Persistence of Memories of Slavery and Emancipation in Historical Andover brings forward indispensable research discoveries about fascinating people of many ancestries and heritages, connected together and integral to New England histories, artifacts, cultural traditions, and historic places. Their ordinary and extraordinary lives in historical Andover and surrounding localities are remembered today, some even internationally. This study's essential findings, informative endnotes, and a bibliography of incisive sources deepen views of the persistent echoes of enslavement, emancipation, and postemancipation in Atlantic World and global perspective.
Download or read book Picturing Frederick Douglass An Illustrated Biography of the Nineteenth Century s Most Photographed American written by Celeste-Marie Bernier and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 791 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize A landmark and collectible volume—beautifully produced in duotone—that canonizes Frederick Douglass through historic photography. Commemorating the bicentennial of Frederick Douglass’s birthday and featuring images discovered since its original publication in 2015, this “tour de force” (Library Journal, starred review) reintroduced Frederick Douglass to a twenty-first-century audience. From these pages—which include over 160 photographs of Douglass, as well as his previously unpublished writings and speeches on visual aesthetics—we learn that neither Custer nor Twain, nor even Abraham Lincoln, was the most photographed American of the nineteenth century. Indeed, it was Frederick Douglass, the ex-slave-turned-abolitionist, eloquent orator, and seminal writer, who is canonized here as a leading pioneer in photography and a prescient theorist who believed in the explosive social power of what was then just an emerging art form. Featuring: Contributions from Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Kenneth B. Morris, Jr. (a direct Douglass descendent) 160 separate photographs of Douglass—many of which have never been publicly seen and were long lost to history A collection of contemporaneous artwork that shows how powerful Douglass’s photographic legacy remains today, over a century after his death All Douglass’s previously unpublished writings and speeches on visual aesthetics

Download or read book Disowning Slavery written by Joanne Pope Melish and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-21 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the abolition of slavery in New England, white citizens seemed to forget that it had ever existed there. Drawing on a wide array of primary sources—from slaveowners' diaries to children's daybooks to racist broadsides—Joanne Pope Melish reveals not only how northern society changed but how its perceptions changed as well. Melish explores the origins of racial thinking and practices to show how ill-prepared the region was to accept a population of free people of color in its midst. Because emancipation was gradual, whites transferred prejudices shaped by slavery to their relations with free people of color, and their attitudes were buttressed by abolitionist rhetoric which seemed to promise riddance of slaves as much as slavery. She tells how whites came to blame the impoverished condition of people of color on their innate inferiority, how racialization became an important component of New England ante-bellum nationalism, and how former slaves actively participated in this discourse by emphasizing their African identity. Placing race at the center of New England history, Melish contends that slavery was important not only as a labor system but also as an institutionalized set of relations. The collective amnesia about local slavery's existence became a significant component of New England regional identity.

Download or read book Unfreedom written by Jared Hardesty and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Choice Outstanding Academic Title of 2016 Reveals the lived experience of slaves in eighteenth-century Boston Instead of relying on the traditional dichotomy of slavery and freedom, Hardesty argues we should understand slavery in Boston as part of a continuum of unfreedom. In this context, African slavery existed alongside many other forms of oppression, including Native American slavery, indentured servitude, apprenticeship, and pauper apprenticeship. In this hierarchical and inherently unfree world, enslaved Bostonians were more concerned with their everyday treatment and honor than with emancipation, as they pushed for autonomy, protected their families and communities, and demanded a place in society. Drawing on exhaustive research in colonial legal records – including wills, court documents, and minutes of governmental bodies – as well as newspapers, church records, and other contemporaneous sources, Hardesty masterfully reconstructs an eighteenth-century Atlantic world of unfreedom that stretched from Europe to Africa to America. By reassessing the lives of enslaved Bostonians as part of a social order structured by ties of dependence, Hardesty not only demonstrates how African slaves were able to decode their new homeland and shape the terms of their enslavement, but also tells the story of how marginalized peoples engrained themselves in the very fabric of colonial American society.
