Book Description
Excerpt from Official Dispatches and Letters of Rear Admiral Du Pont: U. S Navy, 1856-48, 1861-63 Samuel Francis Du Pont, Rear Admiral United States Navy, va. oorn at Bergen Point, New Jersey, September 27th, 1803, of French parentage and descent. He was the son of Victor-Marie Du Pont and Gabrille-Josephine de la Fite de Pelleport, daughter of the Marquis de Pelleport. Du Pont de Nemours, Admiral Du Pont's grandfather, well known for his long connection with public affairs in France, came to America with his sons during the closing months of the last century. After a temporary sojourn in New York and New Jersey, the sons established themselves in Delaware, of which State they became citizens. Admiral DuPont was appointed a midshipman in the navy by President Monroe, on the 19th of December, 1815, and for almost fifty years faithfully served his country. Believing that the official dispatches, relating to the wars in which he took part, would be of interest to his family and friends, his widow has had them printed.

Fugitive Movements
Author: James O'Neil SpadyPublisher: Univ of South Carolina Press
ISBN: 1643362666
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
In 1822, White authorities in Charleston, South Carolina, learned of plans among the city's enslaved and free Black population to lead an armed antislavery rebellion. Among the leaders was a free Black carpenter named Denmark Vesey. After a brief investigation and what some have considered a dubious trial, Vesey and thirty-five others were convicted of attempted insurrection and hanged. Although the rebellion never came to fruition, it nonetheless fueled Black antislavery movements in the United States and elsewhere. To this day, activists, politicians, writers, and scholars debate the significance of the conspiracy, how to commemorate it, and the integrity of the archival records it left behind. Fugitive Movements memorializes this attempted liberation movement with new interpretations of the event as well as comparisons to other Black resistance throughout the Atlantic World—including Africa, the Caribbean, and the Northern United States. This volume situates Denmark Vesey and antislavery rebellion within the current scholarship on abolition that places Black activists at the center of the story. It shows that Black antislavery rebellion in general, and the 1822 uprising by Black Charlestonians in particular, significantly influenced the history of slavery in the Western Hemisphere. The essays collected in this volume explore not only that history, but also the ongoing struggle over the memory of slavery and resistance in the Atlantic World. Manisha Sinha, James L. and Shirley A. Draper Chair in American History at the University of Connecticut and author of The Slave's Cause: A History of Abolition, provides the foreword.
