Book Description
The Christiana Riot and the Treason Trials of 1851 is a historical account of an incident that took place in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1851. The Christiana Riot was a violent confrontation between a group of fugitive slaves who had fled to Pennsylvania and their slave-catchers. The incident sparked a national debate over the fugitive slave laws and the rights of states to nullify federal laws they found objectionable. The Treason Trials that followed the Riot were a crucial moment in the history of slavery in the United States, and their legacy is still felt today. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of slavery in the United States and the struggle for civil rights.

Excerpt from The Christiana Riot and the Treason Trials of 1851: An Historical Sketch; With Some Account of the Commemoration of These Events, September, 9, 1911 If, however, all the great statesmen, economists and churchmen who had struggled with the slavery question since the formation of the Union were unable to solve it, without the awful carnage of a tremendous and long lasting civil war, can it be the cause of special wonder that a hand ful of Marylanders in lawful search of their escaped prop erty, and a larger group of free and fugitive negroes, with the embattled farmers who sympathized with them, should have made the hills of this peaceful Chester Valley echo with gun Shots and stained its soil with blood, when Man and Master met in final and fatal contest for what each had been taught was his right?

Book Description
The manuscript of the following pages has been handed to me with the request that I would revise it for publication, or weave its facts into a story which should show the fitness of the Southern black for the exercise of the right of suffrage. The narrative is a plain and unpretending account of the life of a man whose own right arm—to use his own expression—won his rights as a freeman. It is written with the utmost simplicity, and has about it the verisimilitude which belongs to truth, and to truth only when told by one who has been a doer of the deeds and an actor in the scenes which he describes. It has the further rare merit of being written by one of the "despised race"; for none but a negro can fully and correctly depict negro life and character. General Thomas—a Southern man, and a friend of the Southern negro—was once in conversation with a gentleman who has attained some reputation as a delineator of the black man, when a long, lean, "poor white man," then a scout in the Union army, approached the latter, and, giving his shoulder a familiar slap, accosted him with,— "How are you, ole feller?" The gentleman turned about, and forgetting, in his joy at meeting an old friend, the presence of this most dignified of our military men, responded to the salutation of the scout in an equally familiar and boisterous manner. General Thomas "smiled wickedly," and quietly remarked,— "You seem to know each other." "Know him!" exclaimed the scout. "Why, Gin'ral, I ha'n't seed him fur fourteen year; but I sh'u'd know him, ef his face war as black as it war one night when we went ter a nigger shindy tergether!" The gentleman colored up to the roots of his hair, and stammered out,— "That was in my boy days, General, when I was sowing my wild oats." "Don't apologize, Sir," answered the General, "don't apologize; for I see that to your youthful habit of going to negro shindies we owe your truthful pictures of negro life." And the General was right. Every man and woman who has essayed to depict the slave character has miserably failed, unless inoculated with the genuine spirit of the negro; and even those who have succeeded best have done only moderately well, because they have not had the negro nature. It is reserved to some black Shakspeare or Dickens to lay open the wonderful humor, pathos, poetry, and power which slumber in the negro's soul, and which now and then flash out like the fire from a thunder-cloud. ...
