Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Warwick, Rhode Island, From Its Settlement in 1642 to the Present Time: Including Accounts of the Early Settlement and Development of Its Several Villages; Sketches of the Origin and Progress of the Different Churches of the Town, &C., &C The present work was commenced as a means of relaxation from professional labors, with simply the intention of furnishing a series of historical sketches for a country newspaper. I had only pursued my inquiries for a brief season when I found the field so rich in interesting and important historical matter, that I was led to believe that even a poor reaper might gather a considerable harvest. It was a matter of surprise that one of the constituent towns of the colony of Rhode Island, and one that throughout its history has exerted so important an influence upon its prosperity, and produced so many men of talent and influence, should not have found among them some one to perform this work many years ago. It was not, however, until a large portion of the material of this volume had accumulated upon my hands that I concluded to publish it in its present form. The amount of biographical and genealogical matter that I have allowed to come in, may be regarded by some as excessive for such a work, and the separate accounts of the villages, instead of incorporating them into the general history of the town, may be open to criticism. I preferred this arrangement, as I conceived it would give me a better opportunity to introduce many items of a semi-historical and traditional character with which the several villages abound. It would have been an easy task to have filled a much larger volume than the present with the published documents relating to the town, with which the Colonial Records and other works abound, but I preferred to leave that which is already well preserved, and secure a portion of that which, from the nature of the case, was liable to be lost.

Excerpt: ... long by 72 feet wide, of five stories, with a capacity of 30,000 spindles. Nearly all the stone necessary for the construction of this large building was quarried from a ledge a few rods distant. The old mill, erected in 1807, was removed to the rear, and is now used for a storehouse. It had been enlarged at different times, until it had reached the respectable dimensions of 150 feet long and three stories high, but its glory had departed. What a world of picking, and lapping, and carding, and drawing, and twisting, and spinning, and spooling, and dressing, and weaving, and packing, it had witnessed in its day! and what an amount of hurrying, and scolding, and fretting and sneezing, and laughing, and chatting! But all this could not save the old mill, and the whir of the spindle and the clickclack of the shuttle has ceased within its walls for ever. It could not stand the march of improvement. Its compeer across the river, went off, a few years before, in a chariot of fire, while the old green mill is made to sit solitary in the back ground awaiting whatever fate may be in reserve for it in the future. The earliest items pertaining to schools in this village, that I have been able to find, reach back into the last century. Joseph B. Pettis is distinctly remembered, as a teacher, by a gentleman now living, in whose grandfather's family Mr. Pettis boarded at the time. The school was kept in the chambers of Anthony Arnold's house, opposite Mr. Enos Lapham's. In 1803 the first school-house was built, and used both for schools and religious meetings. The building still stands, and is used as a wheelwright's shop. It was formally dedicated with religious services. The first term of instruction commenced September 10, 1803, with Mr. Pettis as...

Book excerpt: Tells the story of one state in particular whose role in the slave trade was outsized: Rhode Island Historians have written expansively about the slave economy and its vital role in early American economic life. Like their northern neighbors, Rhode Islanders bought and sold slaves and supplies that sustained plantations throughout the Americas; however, nowhere else was this business so important. During the colonial period trade with West Indian planters provided Rhode Islanders with molasses, the key ingredient for their number one export: rum. More than 60 percent of all the slave ships that left North America left from Rhode Island. During the antebellum period Rhode Islanders were the leading producers of “negro cloth,” a coarse wool-cotton material made especially for enslaved blacks in the American South. Clark-Pujara draws on the documents of the state, the business, organizational, and personal records of their enslavers, and the few first-hand accounts left by enslaved and free black Rhode Islanders to reconstruct their lived experiences. The business of slavery encouraged slaveholding, slowed emancipation and led to circumscribed black freedom. Enslaved and free black people pushed back against their bondage and the restrictions placed on their freedom. It is convenient, especially for northerners, to think of slavery as southern institution. The erasure or marginalization of the northern black experience and the centrality of the business of slavery to the northern economy allows for a dangerous fiction—that North has no history of racism to overcome. But we cannot afford such a delusion if we are to truly reconcile with our past.
