Not illustrated. 1833 edition. Excerpt: ... All! could you tell thc Slaves in the West India Colonies what is going on at home--could you draw to them a picture of the interior of a manufactory at Manchester, or at I.eeds, or at Bristol, or at any of the other manufacturing towns at home, they w ould l)e found subscribing willingly and proudly to the relief of the White Slaves; for of suffering such as is in these manufactories they have no idea. ( Hear.) But my object in making this reference, is not to draw a parallel between the condition of the peasant In this country and the labourer in the West India Colonies--for 1 should rather call him a labourer than a Slave. Deline in your unprejudiced solitude what Slavery means, think of the evils which that hated word specially and definitively involves, and nieasure'well how many of these evils comparatively belong to the condition of our own labourers, and of the laljourers in the Colonies, and 1 will then put it to any honest mind to say which of the two better deserves the name of Slave! My object is, however, not to draw the parallel, but to bring one of the most important points of the question now in debate before your mind, and that is--Would it be well, if, in attempting to cure one patient, a medical ****-dant should kill another? Would it not be better to take such gentle means as would restore both to life, though it might be by a slower progress? Well, the point of view in which I desire to put the question now is this--Consider, even if Emancipation were all that it has been contended to be as far as the Slave is concerned, what will it be for our own Peasantry 'i Must we erect the freedom of the Slave upon the ruin of our own Peasantry? Must we purchase for the Slave what we believe to be good, by involving our own...

Slavery and the University

Pages : 365
Book Description
Slavery and the University is the first edited collection of scholarly essays devoted solely to the histories and legacies of this subject on North American campuses and in their Atlantic contexts. Gathering together contributions from scholars, activists, and administrators, the volume combines two broad bodies of work: (1) historically based interdisciplinary research on the presence of slavery at higher education institutions in terms of the development of proslavery and antislavery thought and the use of slave labor; and (2) analysis on the ways in which the legacies of slavery in institutions of higher education continued in the post-Civil War era to the present day. The collection features broadly themed essays on issues of religion, economy, and the regional slave trade of the Caribbean. It also includes case studies of slavery's influence on specific institutions, such as Princeton University, Harvard University, Oberlin College, Emory University, and the University of Alabama. Though the roots of Slavery and the University stem from a 2011 conference at Emory University, the collection extends outward to incorporate recent findings. As such, it offers a roadmap to one of the most exciting developments in the field of U.S. slavery studies and to ways of thinking about racial diversity in the history and current practices of higher education.

American Slavery as it is

Book Description
Winner of the Distinguished Contribution to Scholarship Award, American Sociological Association Co-Winner of the Ralph J. Bunche Award, American Political Science Association In a work of prodigious scholarship and enormous breadth, which draws on the tribal, ancient, premodern, and modern worlds, Orlando Patterson discusses the internal dynamics of slavery in sixty-six societies over time. These include Greece and Rome, medieval Europe, China, Korea, the Islamic kingdoms, Africa, the Caribbean islands, and the American South. Praise for the previous edition: “Densely packed, closely argued, and highly controversial in its dissent from much of the scholarly conventional wisdom about the function and structure of slavery worldwide.” —Boston Globe “There can be no doubt that this rich and learned book will reinvigorate debates that have tended to become too empirical and specialized. Patterson has helped to set out the direction for the next decades of interdisciplinary scholarship.” —David Brion Davis, New York Review of Books “This is clearly a major and important work, one which will be widely discussed, cited, and used. I anticipate that it will be considered among the landmarks in the study of slavery, and will be read by historians, sociologists, and anthropologists—as well as many other scholars and students.” —Stanley Engerman
