Book Description
The voices of rural midwestern women are missing from the relatively new field of Civil War-era women's history. This growing literature has focused on women of the Confederacy, and the voice of northern women traditionally only subsumes those in urban settings or of the middleclass who participated in aid societies. Rural northern women, especially from the Midwest, are largely absent from scholarly publications. When Slavery and Rebellion Are Destroyedmakes a groundbreaking contribution to the comprehension of gender issues by making an extensive collection of intimate letters between Ellen Preston Woodworth and her husband, Samuel, accessible to the scholarly field and all readers interested in the Civil War, homefront challenges, military family struggles, and gender roles. The journal collection of this correspondence invites comparison between Ellen's encounters with Indigenous peoples in her rural, recently settled community and Samuel's experiences with AfricanAmericans in the Deep South-unique in such a collection of letters. Wife and husband also delve into spiritual matters as they confront their lengthy separation. Scholars will find value in Samuel's service in a "construction battalion" that is frequently in harm's way. The national struggle over slavery and freedom becomes personal for this couple and is revealed powerfully to the reader.

Sabotage, Sedition, and Sundry Acts of Rebellion
Author: David Aretha
Publisher: Morgan Reynolds Publishing
ISBN: 9781599354064
Category : Slave insurrections
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
On September 9, 1739, a group of enslaved black people revolted near Charleston, South Carolina. Jemmy and his co-conspirators busted into a gun store, killed the shopkeepers, and carted off the firearms. By late afternoon, the band of freedom seekers had grown to one hundred. They invaded homes and businesses, killed more than twenty white people, and marched down the road shouting "Liberty!" In the decades following the Civil War, American history books overlooked or downplayed acts of rebellion by the millions of African and American-born black people who had been forced into slavery. They were described as "docile" and accepting of their lot in life. In recent generations, however, scholars have found evidence of hundreds of brazen acts of resistance. Throughout the slavery era, northern and southern whites constantly feared a rebellion-that the people they called slaves would poison them, slit their throats, or stage a mass revolt. Southern lawmakers passed increasingly strict laws to minimize the possibility of an insurrection, but the threat was ever-present. Blacks resisted in numerous ways-by stealing, running away, or simply disobeying orders. In certain cases, a lust for revenge or a craving for freedom overtook a group of black plantation workers, and they conspired to carry out a large-scale uprising. This book explores all forms of resistance, from cockeyed glances to the infamous Nat Turner revolts in which dozens of whites and, in retaliation, more than two hundred blacks were killed. This is a story of sabotage, sedition, and sundry acts of rebellion that added up to a revolution. Book jacket.
