Book African Colonization  Classic Reprint

Download or read book African Colonization Classic Reprint written by John H. B. Latrobe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from African Colonization There are, in the United States, two races, the white and the colored. Brought from Africa, origi nally, as slaves, the progenitors of the last have trans mitted, even to the free of their decsendants, the memories and the associations of servitude, which cannot be shaken off while a portion of the same people, still in bondage, suggests, everlastingly, the history and the degradation of the past. Before Emancipation commenced, the relations of the races, as a matter of feeling, were probably of rare discus sion. When the first ship-load of slaves was landed, under colonial rule, in the Chesapeake, the wisest of the Virginia adventurers never dreamed that a day would come, when the descendants of the captives would be the alumni of colleges, distinguished mem bers of the liberal professions, and filling, because fit to fill, political offices of the highest civilization.

This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from African Colonization Its Principles and Aims: An Address NO slave, however worthy, can henceforth, in Louisiana and several other States, have freedom conferred upon him while in those States; neither is be permitted to return after being emancipated. The Supreme Judicial Tribunal of Virginia have decided, that slaves have no civil or social rights, and that the slave cannot choose between freedom and slavery, if the Offer be made him by his master; and that, consequently, a slave left by his master with freedom, if he choose to take it, can have no legal right to choose freedom, and must, therefore, still be a slave. It will thus be seen that the free colored man is likely to be driven from the Southern States by new legislative enactments; and that, where wills allowing the slave, at the death of the master, to elect freedom or continue In servitude, were once favored, how they are under the ban of law.

Book The Free Negro in Virginia

Download or read book The Free Negro in Virginia written by John Henderson Russell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Free Negro in Virginia: 1619-1865 The history of the free negro' in the slave States forms one of the most interesting chapters in the history of slavery in this country. A number of valuable monographs dealing with the history of the negro or with the institution of slavery in; the various States have been published during recent years, but no one of them, so far as the author is aware, has been devoted exclusively to the status or history of the antebellum free negro in a particular Commonwealth of-the Uni-ou. Such studies are needed, and it is hoped that the present monograph will, as far as Virginia is concerned, supply this need. Moreover, as a study of the free negro in the State in which the African first made his appearance in America, it should' supply some of the facts upon which the history of the negro race in the United States must be based. Upon the constitutional side it is hoped that the study will be an aid to a correct conception of the purposes sought to be realized by the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Download or read book An African Republic written by Marie Tyler-McGraw and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2009-11-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nineteenth-century American Colonization Society (ACS) project of persuading all American free blacks to emigrate to the ACS colony of Liberia could never be accomplished. Few free blacks volunteered, and greater numbers would have overwhelmed the meager resources of the ACS. Given that reality, who supported African colonization and why? No state was more involved with the project than Virginia, where white Virginians provided much of the political and organizational leadership and black Virginians provided a majority of the emigrants. In An African Republic, Marie Tyler-McGraw traces the parallel but seldom intersecting tracks of black and white Virginians' interests in African colonization, from revolutionary-era efforts at emancipation legislation to African American churches' concern for African missions. In Virginia, African colonization attracted aging revolutionaries, republican mothers and their daughters, bondpersons schooled and emancipated for Liberia, evangelical planters and merchants, urban free blacks, opportunistic politicians, Quakers, and gentlemen novelists. An African Republic follows the experiences of the emigrants from Virginia to Liberia, where some became the leadership class, consciously seeking to demonstrate black abilities, while others found greater hardship and early death. Tyler-McGraw carefully examines the tensions between racial identities, domestic visions, and republican citizenship in Virginia and Liberia.

Book Justice in Colonial Virginia  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Justice in Colonial Virginia Classic Reprint written by Oliver Perry Chitwood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Justice in Colonial Virginia When Virginia was settled, English institutions came with the settlers; but these institutions had, in many cases, to undergo changes before they were prepared to enter the new environment into which they were carried by coloniza tion. They had to return to their infancy and in some in stances to pass through stages of growth in the new world similar to those through which they had already gone in the old. This second evolution was more rapid than the first; and America in one century reached a stage in institutional progress which it had taken Europe more than a millennium to attain. Only those parts of the old constitution that were suited to the new conditions survived and became a perma nent part of the colonial system of government. For the first decade of its existence, Virginia's constitution, there fore, presented few points of similarity to its great proto type, and, in fact, it was not until 1619 that the likeness of the colonial government to that of the mother country be came plainly discernible.

Book The Planters of Colonial Virginia  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The Planters of Colonial Virginia Classic Reprint written by Thomas J. Wertenbaker and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Planters of Colonial Virginia At the beginning of the Seventeenth century colonial expansion had become for England an economic necessity. Because of the depletion of her forests, which constituted perhaps the most important of her natural resources, she could no longer look for prosperity from the old industries that for centuries had been her mainstay. In the days when the Norman conquerors first set foot upon English soil the virgin woods, broken occasionally by fields and villages, had stretched in dense formation from the Scottish border to Sussex and Devonshire. But with the passage of five centuries a great change had been wrought. The growing population, the expansion of agriculture, the increasing use of wood for fuel, for shipbuilding, and for the construction of houses, had by the end of the Tudor period so denuded the forests that they no longer sufficed for the most pressing needs of the country. Even at the present day it is universally recognized that a certain proportion of wooded land is essential to the prosperity and productivity of any country. And whenever this is lacking, not only do the building, furniture, paper and other industries suffer, but the rainfall proves insufficient, spring floods are frequent and the fertility of the soil is impaired by washing. These misfortunes are slight, however, compared with the disastrous results of the gradual thinning out of the forests of Elizabethan England.
