Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Police Control of the Slave in South Carolina In the fall of 1909 the late Professor Frederick W. Moore suggested to me as a topic for investigation, the police control of the negro in the period of 1861-1865 and following years. It was his suggestion that by using several states as illustrations I should show to what extent the Southern people sought to perpetuate not slavery, but the same method of controlling the emancipated negro which was in force under the slavery regime, the difficulties which were met with from without and the measure of success attained. The first question arising was: what was that method? It was soon evident that the laws on the statute books did not adequately answer the question. To get a clear understanding of that system another question, or two other questions, had to be answered: to what extent were these laws enforced; and, what extra legal method may have been resorted to in a system so flexible as slavery was? These questions caused the monograph to assume large proportions; for in only a few of the states has the history of slavery been written. Beginning in South Carolina, my native state, I soon became attracted by the possibilities of a study of the institution of slavery from this point of view of slave control in one of the oldest communities. Hence in order to bring this within the compass of a doctoral dissertation, at the later suggestion of Professor Sioussat. I limited the study to one state and to a study of the ante-bellum period, attempting, as far as possible, to show to what extent the laws were enforced. It is my hope, at some later time, to be able, with this study as a basis, to answer the original question as it affects South Carolina. It affords me pleasure to acknowledge assistance in the way of helpful suggestions and criticism from Professors Sioussat, Dyer and Mims of the Vanderbilt Faculty; Professor U. B. Phillips, of the University of Michigan, and T. D. Jervey, Esq., of Charleston. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: "Henry offered important insights into the workings of South Carolina's slave patrol system." - An Old Creed for the New South (2008) "An excellent analysis of slave control...one of the few early historians of slavery to examine...why the various slave laws were passed." - Slavery, Race and American History (2015) "An analysis of the slave patrol and the elaborate police systems organized to police the behavior of African-Americans during slavery." - Black Police in America (1996) "As H.M. Henry described it, 'the plantation was a sort of governmental unit as to the police control of the slave, and to its head, the slaveowner, was given a large measure of sovereign management.'" - Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America (2015) What kept thousands slaves from escaping to freedom every time an overseer turned his back, fell asleep, or was out-numbered? In 1914, Howell Meadors Henry (1879-1956), later to become Emory Dean and Professor of History, published a study of the slave patrol system entitled, "The Police Control of the Slave in South Carolina." In introducing his work, Henry writes: "Professor Frederick W. Moore suggested to me as a topic for investigation, the police control of the negro in the period of 1861-1865 and following years. It was his suggestion that by using several states as illustrations I should show to what extent the Southern people sought to perpetuate not slavery, but the same method of controlling the emancipated negro which was in force under the slavery regime...."

This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Experience of a Slave in South Carolina IN aiming to arrest the attention of the reader, ere he proceeds to the unvarnished, but ower true tale of John Andrew Jackson, the escaped Carolinian slave, it might be fairly said that truth was stranger than fiction, and that the experience of slavery produces a full exhibition of all that is vile and devilish in human nature. Mrs. Stowe, as a virtuous woman, dared only allude to some of the hellish works of slavery - it was too foul to sully her pen; but the time is come when iniquity should no longer be hid: and that evil which Wilberforce and Clarkson exposed, and of which Wesley said it was the sum of all human villanies, must now be laid bare in all its hellish atrocities. The half has not yet been told; but appalling as are the statements made, yet when the fiercest organized effort to extend the monster evil of N orth-american slavery is being made, every patriot is called on to sympathize over the woes and sufferings of human kind, and plead for freedom and liberty.

Download or read book To Have and to Hold written by Larry E. Hudson and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking closely at both the slaves' and masters' worlds in low, middle, and up-country South Carolina, Larry E. Hudson Jr. covers a wide range of economic and social topics related to the opportunities given to slaves to produce and trade their own food and other goods--contingent on first completing the master's assigned work for the day. In particular, Hudson shows how these opportunities were exploited by the slaves both to increase their control over their family life and to gain status among their fellow slaves. Filled with details of slaves' social values, family formation, work patterns, "internal economies," and domestic production, To Have and to Hold is based on a wide variety of primary and secondary sources, emphasizing wherever possible the recollections of former slaves. Although their private world was never immune to intervention from the white world, Hudson demonstrates a relationship between the agricultural productivity of slaves, in family situations that range from simple to complex formations, and the accumulation of personal property and social status within slave communities.
Download or read book Race and American Political Development written by Joseph E. Lowndes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Race has been present at every critical moment in American political development, shaping political institutions, political discourse, public policy, and its denizens’ political identities. But because of the nature of race—its evolving and dynamic status as a structure of inequality, a political organizing principle, an ideology, and a system of power—we must study the politics of race historically, institutionally, and discursively. Covering more than three hundred years of American political history from the founding to the contemporary moment, the contributors in this volume make this extended argument. Together, they provide an understanding of American politics that challenges our conventional disciplinary tools of studying politics and our conservative political moment’s dominant narrative of racial progress. This volume, the first to collect essays on the role of race in American political history and development, resituates race in American politics as an issue for sustained and broadened critical attention.

This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anti-Slavery Leaders of North Carolina When, about three years ago, I began to make a study of Slavery in North Carolina I found that there were some men like Mr. Helper, Prof. Hedrick, and Mr. Goodloe, whose participation in the anti-slavery cause demanded a more extended notice than it was possible to give in a gen eral treatment of the subject. Consequently, I have pre pared the present sketches. I offer them to the public because it does not seem good that the personalities of North Carolina's contributors to the anti-slavery cause should be forgotten. For assistance in this work my thanks are due to Mr. Helper, Mr. Goodloe, Mr. Charles J. Hedrick, of George town, D. C., and Dr. Dred Peacock, of Greensboro, N. C.

Download or read book Slave Patrols written by Sally E. Hadden and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2003-10-30 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obscured from our view of slaves and masters in America is a critical third party: the state, with its coercive power. This book completes the grim picture of slavery by showing us the origins, the nature, and the extent of slave patrols in Virginia and the Carolinas from the late seventeenth century through the end of the Civil War. Here we see how the patrols, formed by county courts and state militias, were the closest enforcers of codes governing slaves throughout the South. Mining a variety of sources, Sally Hadden presents the views of both patrollers and slaves as she depicts the patrols, composed of "respectable" members of society as well as poor whites, often mounted and armed with whips and guns, exerting a brutal and archaic brand of racial control inextricably linked to post-Civil War vigilantism and the Ku Klux Klan. City councils also used patrollers before the war, and police forces afterward, to impose their version of race relations across the South, making the entire region, not just plantations, an armed camp where slave workers were controlled through terror and brutality.

Download or read book The Quarters and the Fields written by Damian Alan Pargas and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2010-11-28 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Quarters and the Fields offers a unique approach to the examination of slavery. Rather than focusing on slave work and family life on cotton plantations, Damian Pargas compares the practice of slavery among the other major agricultural cultures in the nineteenth-century South: tobacco, mixed grain, rice, and sugar cane. He reveals how the demands of different types of masters and crops influenced work patterns and habits, which in turn shaped slaves' family life. By presenting a broader view of the complex forces that shaped enslaved people's family lives, not only from outside but also from within, this book takes an inclusive approach to the slave agency debate. A comparative study that examines the importance of time and place for slave families, The Quarters and the Fields provides a means for understanding them as they truly were: dynamic social units that were formed and existed under different circumstances across time and space.
