Book Description
Excerpt from Address of the New York City Anti-Slavery Society to the People of the City of New York So far are we, therefore, from seeking to turn loose an ungovernable horde of blacks, to prey upon society, that our sole design is to have them transferred from despotism to the control of law, providing for their regular employment, encouraging their industry, preventing idleness, punishing vagrancy, and securing their just compensation leaving them to labor on the soil where most of them were born, and in the employments' to which they are both fixed and accustomed; to endeavor to obtain for our col ored fellow men the privileges held out to them in our Declaration of Independence, and to which they are entitled by the sentiment of the civilized world, as well as by the law of God. We feel certain that when the public mind shall be permitted to know the facts and shall be dis abused of the impressions by which it has been imposed upon, it will call, in a tone not to be denied, for the adoption of measures right in themselves, congenial with our republican prin ciples, and fraught with benefits to the whole people.

Book Description
Excerpt from Address of the New-York Young Men's Anti-Slavery Society, to Their Fellow-Citizens Fellow-Citizens, Fifty-eight years have elapsed since our fathers declared to the world the great fundamental doctrine of human freedom, that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Sincere in this declaration, they called God and the nations to witness their truth; no hypocrisy lurked in their hearts, and their actions set the seal to their professions. Scarcely had the war of independence been concluded, ere the citizens of the several states commenced a course of action calculated to abolish slavery, the only remaining feature of that oppression which a foreign yoke had imposed upon them. The immortal names of Franklin and Rush are enrolled among the first officers of the Abolition Society of Pennsylvania. In New-York, names as illustrious were to be found in the same cause, - Jay, King, and Hamilton, were men who not only engaged in the contest for liberty during the Revolution, but were active in every effort to effect the abolition of slavery after its conclusion, and the writings of the sage of Monticello contain abundant evidence of his strong aversion to slavery.

Slave Breeding
Author: Gregory D. SmithersPublisher: University Press of Florida
ISBN: 0813059151
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
For over two centuries, the topic of slave breeding has occupied a controversial place in the master narrative of American history. From nineteenth-century abolitionists to twentieth-century filmmakers and artists, Americans have debated whether slave owners deliberately and coercively manipulated the sexual practices and marital status of enslaved African Americans to reproduce new generations of slaves for profit. In this bold and provocative book, historian Gregory Smithers investigates how African Americans have narrated, remembered, and represented slave-breeding practices. He argues that while social and economic historians have downplayed the significance of slave breeding, African Americans have refused to forget the violence and sexual coercion associated with the plantation South. By placing African American histories and memories of slave breeding within the larger context of America’s history of racial and gender discrimination, Smithers sheds much-needed light on African American collective memory, racialized perceptions of fragile black families, and the long history of racially motivated violence against men, women, and children of color.

The Works of James McCune Smith
Author: James McCune SmithPublisher:
ISBN: 0195309618
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
The first African American to receive a medical degree, this invaluable collection brings together the writings of James McCune Smith, one of the foremost intellectuals in antebellum America. The Selected Writings of James McCune Smith is one of the first anthologies featuring the works of this illustrious scholar. Perhaps best known for his introduction to Fredrick Douglass's My Bondage and My Freedom, his influence is still found in a number of aspects of modern society and social interactions. And he was considered by many to be a prophet of the twenty-first century. One of the earliest advocates of the use of "black" instead of "colored," McCune Smith treated racial identities as social constructions, arguing that American literature, music, and dance would be shaped and defined by blacks. Organized chronologically, the collection covers over 40 years of writing, including speeches, letters, and essays, and begins with McCune Smith's first speech as an 11-year old boy to the Marquis de Lafayette. Providing historical context for McCune Smith's current cultural relevance, this book showcases writings on black education and self-help, citizenship, and the fight against racism.
