Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the Civil War, newspaper headlines and stories repeatedly asked some variation of the question posed by the New York Times in 1862, "What shall we do with the negro?" The future status of African Americans was a pressing issue for those in both the North and in the South. Consulting a broad range of contemporary newspapers, magazines, books, army records, government documents, publications of citizens’ organizations, letters, diaries, and other sources, Paul D. Escott examines the attitudes and actions of Northerners and Southerners regarding the future of African Americans after the end of slavery. "What Shall We Do with the Negro?" demonstrates how historians together with our larger national popular culture have wrenched the history of this period from its context in order to portray key figures as heroes or exemplars of national virtue. Escott gives especial critical attention to Abraham Lincoln. Since the civil rights movement, many popular books have treated Lincoln as an icon, a mythical leader with thoroughly modern views on all aspects of race. But, focusing on Lincoln’s policies rather than attempting to divine Lincoln’s intentions from his often ambiguous or cryptic statements, Escott reveals a president who placed a higher priority on reunion than on emancipation, who showed an enduring respect for states’ rights, who assumed that the social status of African Americans would change very slowly in freedom, and who offered major incentives to white Southerners at the expense of the interests of blacks.Escott’s approach reveals the depth of slavery’s influence on society and the pervasiveness of assumptions of white supremacy. "What Shall We Do with the Negro?" serves as a corrective in offering a more realistic, more nuanced, and less celebratory approach to understanding this crucial period in American history.

This book was released on 2012-07-25 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: White supremacy-busting facts that ran in the black publication the Pittsburgh Courier, written by the renowned African American author and journalist. First published in 1934 and revised in 1962, this book gathers journalist and historian Joel Augustus Rogers’ columns from the syndicated newspaper feature titled Your History. Patterned after the look of Ripley’s popular Believe It or Not the multiple vignettes in each episode recount short items from Rogers’s research. The feature began in the Pittsburgh Courier in November 1934 and ran through the 1960s. “I have been intrigued by this book, and by its author, since I first encountered it as a student in an undergraduate survey course in African-American history at Yale . . . Sometimes, [Rogers] was astonishingly accurate; at other times, he seems to have been tripping a bit, shall we say.” —Henry Louis Gates, Jr., The Root “Rogers made great contribution to publishing and distributing little know African history facts through books and pamphlets such as 100 Amazing Facts About the Negro with Complete Proof and The Five Negro Presidents . . . The common thread in Roger’s research was his unending aim to counter white supremacist propaganda that prevailed in segregated communities across the United States against people of African descent.” —Black History Heroes

Not illustrated. 1864 Excerpt: ...development; and nowhere do we find a more nefarious mart of slaves. While the slave-trade was at its zenith, Loanda was a place of great opulence; the Mother Church was in the glory of all her abominations. Her Jesuits had a congenial field, her priests occupied palaces--" grand and magnificent cimrches, coriVents, and nunneries" were met on every side, and wealth, and grandeur, and Church prosperity kept pace with the awful strides of the nefarious traffic "in human flesh. But with the decay of the slave-trade, the place has quite fallen into delapidation. Those "splendid temples," he says, " are now the habitations for the moles, or workshops for convicts guilty of the foulest crimes." "The fraternity is now unrepresented by a living man." We can scarcely gauge the dimensions of a curse which should identify Christianity with that most abominable and devastating trade. Christianity is emphatically the hope of the world. But that system, called Christianity, which was introduced into the capital of the Portuguese province, in Africa, was more to be feared than the terrible faith of the Arabian prophet, or the most cruel system of Paganism. It was a religion of money and of blood. It was without truth, without a Sabbath, and without mercy. It brought with it no truth-telling Bible, no sacred rest of the Sabbath, no pure moral influences. We can scarcely conceive how a people could suffer a greater moral disaster than the introduction among them of so bad a counterfeit of Christianity. Spare the "stay of bread" and the stay of water, and you may poison whatever else you please. The religion of Jesus is the Bread of life. Mutilate, corrupt, poison this, and you have doomed the immortal spirits of a peopl...
Download or read book A Narrative of the Negro written by Leila Amos Pendleton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large Print Edition, Printed in 18pt Font. MOST girls and boys, who are from twelve to fourteen years old can tell, if one should ask them, many interesting things about America, the country in which we live and most children whose fore-parents came from Europe or Asia have been taught to love those countries just because their kinfolk once lived there. Many little colored children can draw a map of Africa, tell some of its products and describe some of its people; I wonder how many have been taught to think of Africa with interest and affection, because our great, great grandparents came from that continent? Perhaps if we talk awhile about our Motherland and some of the notable things which have happened there, we shall all learn to love that wonderful country and be proud of it. In these talks, though sometimes the adjective "colored" will be used just as the word "white" is frequently made use of, we shall, as a rule speak of ourselves as "Negroes" and always begin the noun with a capital letter. It is true that the word Negro is considered by some a term of contempt and for that reason, many of us wince at it; but history tells us that when England had been conquered by the Normans, centuries ago, and the Norman barons were beating, starving and killing the natives, the name "Englishman" was considered an abusive term, and the greatest insult one Norman could offer another was to call him an "Englishman." You know that now all who claim England as home are justly proud of it, and no Englishman is ashamed of that name. If history repeats itself, as we are often told it does, the time will come when our whole race will feel it an honor to be called "Negroes." Let us each keep that hope before us and hasten the time by living so that those who know us best will respect us most; surely then those who follow will be proud of our memory and of our race-name.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why Is the Negro Lynched? North and South, 1 shall submit the same to the candid judgment of all who hear me in full confidence that it will be received as true, by honest men and women of both sections of this Republic. There is one thing, however, in which I think we must all agree at the start. It is that this so - called but mis called Negro problem is one of the most important and urgent subjects that can now engage public attention. Its solution is, and ought to be, the serious business of the best American wisdom and statesmanship. For it involves the honour or dishonour, the glory or shame, the happiness or misery, of the whole American people. It not only touches the good name and fame of the Republic, but its highest moral welfare and its permanent safety. The evil with which it confronts us is coupled with a peril at once great and increasing, and one which should be removed, if it can be, without delay.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shall the Negro Be Educated or Suppressed?: A Symposium on Dr. Haygood's Reply to Senator Eustis's Paper on Race Antagonism As to Senator Eustis's article, I think it is just about as good and as bad as Senator Chandler's Our Southern Masters, and perhaps the best thing that could be done with both would be to print them together in one pamphlet and send them out to neutral ize each other. I indorse the spirit and the matter of Dr. Hay good's reply to Senator Eustis's article. Dr. Haygood is the one Southern man whom I should be willing to follow blindfold on the Negro question. He understands the subject. What his heart prompts and his head approves he has the courage to do - always the right, as he sees it. In this as in all other matters.

Download or read book The Slaves written by Frederick Douglass and published by . This book was released on 2016-12-16 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Slaves" is nothing but Frederick Douglass's groundbreaking autobiography and his first book "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave, written by Himself". We have renamed the title here as "The Slaves" to keep the title short as well as to establish that Frederick Douglass is no longer a name of a particular slave born in nineteenth-century America, but a name that represents slaves of the entire world and of all time. Even though, we do not wish anyone to be born into slavery anymore like Frederick was, we have taken him as a symbol of all the slaves as a wish that all who are still in slavery may have the spirit of Frederick Douglass and fight their ways to the freedom and work to free other slaves to make the slavery history. The life of Frederick, is in one way or another, is the lives of all other slaves. Hence, we have named this version of his book "The Slaves".

The same prominent citizen went on to say: "We have never had any trouble between the white people and the negroes," said he, "and we have determined that the negro shall always receive just and fair treatment at our hands, but we do not propose to have negroes appointed Census Enumerators if there is any way to prevent it.. "We have determined to take the matter up and see what can be done. We do not believe the government would carry out this policy which is intimated in Congressman Adamson's telegram if it were informed that such would be odious to us and that it might precipitate trouble, which otherwise would never exist." "It is more than probable that a committee of citizens from that county will write the Georgia Senators to use their influence against such appointments and it is not generally believed that the appointments will be given to negroes as soon as the public sentiment of the county is known in Washington." The head-lines of the paper quoted are given, as they express fully what was in the body of the article. Here is another press dispatch from Macon, Ga., which shows 'how easy it is to bring about trouble. The press is from year to year full of such items: "MACON, Ga., November I--Special.--News received in the city to-night from Americus indicates that there is trouble brewing there between the whites and blacks and that it is ex pected to culminate in an outbreak to-morrow. "From what can be learned it appears that bad feeling has existed for some time between the two races. It was augmented a day or two ago by a negro knocking a white man off a plank crossing over a muddy place in the sidewalk. "The white...
