Download or read book America s Forgotten Caste written by Rodney Barfield and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Free blacks in antebellum America lived in a twilight world of oppressive laws and customs designed to suppress their mobility and their integration into civil society. Free blacks were free only to the extent of white tolerance in their community or town. They were at the mercy of the lowest members of the dominant race who could punish them on a whim. They were, in the words of a 19th century European traveler to America, "masterless slaves." Nonetheless, many successful and even prominent blacks emerged from the mire of oppressive laws and general public disdain to realize major achievements. Though excluded from the political process, from education, and from most professions they became preachers, teachers, missionaries, contractors, artisans, boat captains, and wealthy entrepreneurs. Members of this twilight social and legal class, which numbered nearly a half million by 1860, made great accomplishments against strong opposition in the first half of the 19th century. The history of America and of American slavery is woefully incomplete without their story.

Download or read book Black Slaveowners written by Larry Koger and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2011-12-02 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the federal census, wills, mortgage bills of sale, tax returns, and newspaper advertisements, this authoritative study describes the nature of African-American slaveholding, its complexity, and its rationales. It reveals how some African-American slave masters had earned their freedom and how some free Blacks purchased slaves for their own use. The book provides a fresh perspective on slavery in the antebellum South and underscores the importance of African Americans in the history of American slavery. The book also paints a picture of the complex social dynamics between free and enslaved Blacks, and between Black and white slaveowners. It illuminates the motivations behind African-American slaveholding--including attempts to create or maintain independence, to accumulate wealth, and to protect family members--and sheds light on the harsh realities of slavery for both Black masters and Black slaves. • BLACK SLAVEOWNERS--Shows how some African Americans became slave masters • MOTIVATIONS FOR SLAVEHOLDING--Highlights the motivations behind African-American slaveholding • SOCIAL DYNAMICS--Sheds light on the complex social dynamics between free and enslaved Blacks • ANEBELLUM SOUTH--Provides a perspective on slavery in the antebellum South

This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Free Negro in North Carolina, And, Some Colonial History of Craven County The most pathetic figure in North Carolina prior to the Civil War was the free negro. Hedged about with social and legal re strictions, he ever remained an anomaly in the social and polit ical life of the State. The origin of this class of people may be attributed to many sources, the most common of which are (1) cohabitation of white women and negro men, (2) intermarriage of blacks and whites, (3) manumission, (4) military service in the Revolution, and (5) immigration from adjoining States. As early as 17232 many free negroes, mulattoes and persons of mixed blood had moved into the Province and had intermarried with the white inhabi tants in contempt of the acts and laws in those cases pro vided. In the year 1715 in order to discourage intermarriage between white women and negro men, a penalty of 50 was imposed upon the' contracting parties, while clergymen and jus tices of peace were forbidden to celebrate such marriage under a like penalty.3 However regrettable it may be, it is certain that there were a few disreputable white women who had illegitimate children by negro men, and such children inherited the legal status of the mother. The laws of 17154 take cognizance of this fact by imposing a penalty on any white woman whether bond or free, who shall have a bastard child by any negro, mulatto or Indian.

Download or read book Black Business in the New South written by Walter B. Weare and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1993-01-27 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the century, the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company became the "world's largest Negro business." Located in Durham, North Carolina, which was known as the "Black Wall Street of America," this business came to symbolize the ideas of racial progress, self-help, and solidarity in America. Walter B. Weare's social and intellectual history, originally published in 1973 (University of Illinois Press) and updated here to include a new introduction, still stands as the definitive history of black business in the New South. Drawing on a wide range of sources—including personal papers of the company's leaders and oral history interviews—Weare traces the company's story from its ideological roots in the eighteenth century to its economic success in the twentieth century.
