Book Description
Excerpt from Slavery in the State of North Carolina The story of slavery in the State of North Carolina may be considered in two parts, the dividing point of which is the year 1831. Before this year the general conditions of the slave were more humane than after it. Public feeling on the question was then unimpassioned. Some people opposed it; some favored it. It seems to have been discussed in a sane way, as a matter of public policy and without any extraordinary excitement or recrimination. After 1831, or about that year - for no fine and distinct dividing point can properly be made - the conditions of slavery became more severe. One law after another was passed which bore hardly on the slave, until at last he was bound hand, foot, and brain in the power of his master. Moreover, public feeling became inflamed. Slavery could no longer be discussed as a public policy, and there arose with most people in the State a fervent intolerance of all views advanced against the system. The causes of this remarkable development have often been enumerated. Later on in this work I propose to explain the matter with some degree of fulness in a chapter on the development of the pro-slavery sentiment. Here it cannot be necessary to do more than point out the general facts of the process. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Slavery and Servitude in the Colony of North Carolina The lives Of the American slaves were without annals, and to a large extent without conscious purpose. TO get the story of their existence there is no other way than to follow the tracks they have made in the history Of another people. This will be a slow and, in a sense, an unsatisfac tory labor. At best it can give but a partial picture of the real life Of the slaves, yet it can give all there is to give. Those who in these days of a Clearer view and a broader sympathy have come to look on the former bondsmen as a race having their proper place in the evolution of the human family, must be content to gather up as many facts as can be found and to regret that circumstances have made it impossible to Obtain a more complete story.

Anti-Slavery Leaders of North Carolina (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from Anti-Slavery Leaders of North Carolina When, about three years ago, I began to make a study of Slavery in North Carolina I found that there were some men like Mr. Helper, Prof. Hedrick, and Mr. Goodloe, whose participation in the anti-slavery cause demanded a more extended notice than it was possible to give in a gen eral treatment of the subject. Consequently, I have pre pared the present sketches. I offer them to the public because it does not seem good that the personalities of North Carolina's contributors to the anti-slavery cause should be forgotten. For assistance in this work my thanks are due to Mr. Helper, Mr. Goodloe, Mr. Charles J. Hedrick, of George town, D. C., and Dr. Dred Peacock, of Greensboro, N. C.

Book Description
Excerpt from Toward Freedom for All: North Carolina Quakers and Slavery In 1896, Stephen B. Weeks published his widely acclaimed Southern Quakers and Slavery, a work bearing the official approval of the North Carolina Yearly Meeting of Friends. Weeks' copy of this book, now in the Southern Historical Collection of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, reveals that the origi nal title was: The Quakers in Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia and their Settle ment in the Middle West. This title is more appropriate than the one chosen for publication, for only one chapter is devoted to the slavery question. 1 have chosen a more restricted topic than either of those selected by Weeks, limiting myself to the dealings of North Carolina Friends with slavery.

Slave Songs of the United States
Author: William Francis AllenPublisher: Applewood Books
ISBN: 1557094349
Category : African Americans
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
Originally published in 1867, this book is a collection of songs of African-American slaves. A few of the songs were written after the emancipation, but all were inspired by slavery. The wild, sad strains tell, as the sufferers themselves could, of crushed hopes, keen sorrow, and a dull, daily misery, which covered them as hopelessly as the fog from the rice swamps. On the other hand, the words breathe a trusting faith in the life after, to which their eyes seem constantly turned.
The Experience of a Slave in South Carolina (Classic Reprint)

Pages : 52
Book Description
Excerpt from The Experience of a Slave in South Carolina IN aiming to arrest the attention of the reader, ere he proceeds to the unvarnished, but ower true tale of John Andrew Jackson, the escaped Carolinian slave, it might be fairly said that truth was stranger than fiction, and that the experience of slavery produces a full exhibition of all that is vile and devilish in human nature. Mrs. Stowe, as a virtuous woman, dared only allude to some of the hellish works of slavery - it was too foul to sully her pen; but the time is come when iniquity should no longer be hid: and that evil which Wilberforce and Clarkson exposed, and of which Wesley said it was the sum of all human villanies, must now be laid bare in all its hellish atrocities. The half has not yet been told; but appalling as are the statements made, yet when the fiercest organized effort to extend the monster evil of N orth-american slavery is being made, every patriot is called on to sympathize over the woes and sufferings of human kind, and plead for freedom and liberty.

Excerpt from Reconstruction in North Carolina North Carolina after November 21, 1789, the day on which she adopted the Constitution of the United States, was, while closely allied by association, blood, and interest with the South ern States, strongly attached to the Union. Stirred at times by sectional feeling, acting always in the interest of the slave States, when the sectional issue was drawn, the deep love for the Union in all classes Of the people prevented any great spread Of disunion sentiment until long after most Of the Southern States looked upon secession as by no means a remote possibility.
