Book Description
Excerpt from The Dual Revolutions: Anti-Slavery and Pro-Slavery He who shall succeed in writing a perfect history of American Abolitionism, including its last great triumph, under Mr. Lincoln's new government - he, who shall succeed in a perfect analysis of the measures and teachings of that pestilent brood of fanatics and madmen, and shall trace out and record their efforts to overthrow the government of the Union, will merit the applause of his country, and the approbation of posterity. It is not the purpose of these few pages to accomplish this formidable work. They are designed only as a sort of reconnoissance - a preliminary survey of the ground - and perhaps, to remove some of the obstructions which impede the progress of historical and critical investigation. It is an ungrateful task; because it involves the exposure of measures and combinations, not only discreditable to the immediate parties thereto, but to the whole American people, who, at least, have been silent witnesses of their progress. The seat of these infamous combinations is in New England. It is New England that has sent down that horde of Appenine wolves, which have torn the Union to atoms, and are now feeding on its vitals. That the great public is blameless, cannot be maintained. That they are, to a certain extent, responsible for the evils which now afflict the nation, no rational mind will deny. Their crime is that of submission, rather than of aggression; - that of being deceived and misled, rather than of willful heresy to the Union, and dishonest refusal to fulfill its obligations. We have caused the rebellion. 1. By subverting the government. 2. By our overbearing, insolent and tyrannizing tendencies. A great people we are; it required a great people to do what we have done, to sacrifice what we have sacrificed, in blood and money. Our merits are great, and our errors and crimes are great. I never thought our people as perfect as they thought themselves. We had an admirable system of labor and laws. Under these, capital was widely distributed, energy concentrated, and the interests of the great body of the people promoted. This distribution of wealth energized the nation and made it capable of greater acts and greater sacrifices, than any other.

Slavery, Propaganda, and the American Revolution

Book Description
Under the leadership of Samuel Adams patriot propagandists deliberately and conscientiously kept the issue of slavery off the agenda as goals for freedom were set for the American Revolution.By comparing coverage in the publications of the patriot press with those of the moderate colonial press, this book finds that the patriots avoided, misinterpreted, or distorted news reports on blacks and slaves, even in the face of a vigorous antislavery movement. The Boston Gazette, the most important newspaper of the Revolution, was chief among the periodicals that dodged or excluded abolition. The author of this study shows that The Gazette misled its readers about the notable Somerset decision that led to abolition in Great Britain. She notes also that The Gazette excluded antislavery essays, even from patriots who supported abolition. No petitions written by Boston slaves were published, nor were any writings by the black poet Phillis Wheatley. The Gazette also manipulated the racial identity of Crispus Attucks, the first casualty in the Revolution. When using the word slavery, The Gazette took care to focus it not upon abolition but upon Great Britain's enslavement of its American colonies.Since propaganda on behalf of the Revolution reached a high level of sophistication, and since Boston can be considered the foundry of Revolutionary propaganda, the author writes that the omission of abolition from its agenda cannot be considered as accidental but as intentional.By the time the Revolution began, white attitudes toward blacks were firmly fixed, and these persisted long after American independence had been achieved. In Boston, notions of virtue and vigilance were shown to benegatively embodied in black colonists. These devil's imps were long represented in blackface in Boston's annual Pope Day parade.Although the leaders of the Revolution did not articulate a national vision on abolition, the colonial antislavery movement was able to achieve a degree of success but only in drives through the individual colonies.

Our Declaration: A Reading of the Declaration of Independence in Defense of Equality

Pages : 320
Book Description
Winner of the Francis Parkman Prize, Society of American Historians “A tour de force. . . . No one has ever written a book on the Declaration quite like this one.”—Gordon Wood, New York Review of Books Featured on the front page of the New York Times, Our Declaration is already regarded as a seminal work that reinterprets the promise of American democracy through our founding text. Combining a personal account of teaching the Declaration with a vivid evocation of the colonial world between 1774 and 1777, Allen, a political philosopher renowned for her work on justice and citizenship reveals our nation’s founding text to be an animating force that not only changed the world more than two-hundred years ago, but also still can. Challenging conventional wisdom, she boldly makes the case that the Declaration is a document as much about political equality as about individual liberty. Beautifully illustrated throughout, Our Declaration is an “uncommonly elegant, incisive, and often poetic primer on America’s cardinal text” (David M. Kennedy).
