Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Notice of American Slavery, and the Abolition MovementThe hopeless condition of the Slave, both as regards his men tal improvement, and his eventual restoration to his rights as a man, may be judged of by a bare mention of a few of the laws of the Southern States. These laws somewhat vary in the different States; but the following will be found in some or other of them. Teaching Slaves to read is prohibited under severe penalties, fines and imprisonment, and especially if the free coloured peo ple presume to teach: in Louisiana, death is the legal penalty for the second offence. A father may be flogged for teaching his own child to read the Bible.* Religious assemblies of Slaves are illegal; they may be broken up, and the negroes flogged without trial for being present. The law affords no protection to the marriage of Slaves; masters may at any time enforce a separation between husband and wife. If a free coloured man enter a Southern port on ship board, he is liable to be taken to prison and kept there until the ship sails away; and if the cap tain should fail to pay the expences incurred by his detention, the coloured man is liable to be sold to perpetual Slavery. As sisting Slaves to escape is an offence visited with severe penalties, such as long imprisonment, heavy fines, branding with a hot iron, the pillory, and even death. In Mississippi Slaves are punished capitally for thirty different crimes, all of which in the case of whites are visited only with fine and imprisonment; eight of them, if committed by whites, are not punishable at all.All the Slave States allow the life of a fugitive Slave to be taken, if his escape cannot otherwise be prevented. A Slave, refusing to submit to the lash, may be legally shot.If a Slave be killed by cruel whipping, the master is liable to a fine, or to imprisonment for six months; but as Slave testi mony is not received in evidence, the commission of the offence cannot be proved against masters, if none but negroes were present at the time. However injured a Slave may be by per sonal violence, he cannot prosecute his master, or any one else, for damages.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This powerful narrative tells the triumphant story of the men and women who spent their lives and fortunes trying to abolish the institution of slavery in the United States. The practice of African slavery has been described as the United States's most shameful sin. Undoing this practice was a long, complex struggle that lasted centuries and ultimately drove America to a bitter civil war. After an introduction that places the United States's form of slavery into a global, historical perspective, author T. Adams Upchurch shows how an ancient custom evolved into the American South's peculiar institution. The gripping narrative will fascinate readers, while excerpts from primary documents provide glimpses into the minds of key abolitionists and proslavery apologists. The book's glossary, annotated bibliography, and chronology will be indispensable tools for readers researching and writing papers on slavery or abolitionists, making this text ideal for high school and college-level students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Traces the history of abolition from the 1600s to the 1860s . . . a valuable addition to our understanding of the role of race and racism in America.”—Florida Courier Received historical wisdom casts abolitionists as bourgeois, mostly white reformers burdened by racial paternalism and economic conservatism. Manisha Sinha overturns this image, broadening her scope beyond the antebellum period usually associated with abolitionism and recasting it as a radical social movement in which men and women, black and white, free and enslaved found common ground in causes ranging from feminism and utopian socialism to anti-imperialism and efforts to defend the rights of labor. Drawing on extensive archival research, including newly discovered letters and pamphlets, Sinha documents the influence of the Haitian Revolution and the centrality of slave resistance in shaping the ideology and tactics of abolition. This book is a comprehensive history of the abolition movement in a transnational context. It illustrates how the abolitionist vision ultimately linked the slave’s cause to the struggle to redefine American democracy and human rights across the globe. “A full history of the men and women who truly made us free.”—Ira Berlin, The New York Times Book Review “A stunning new history of abolitionism . . . [Sinha] plugs abolitionism back into the history of anticapitalist protest.”—The Atlantic “Will deservedly take its place alongside the equally magisterial works of Ira Berlin on slavery and Eric Foner on the Reconstruction Era.”—The Wall Street Journal “A powerfully unfamiliar look at the struggle to end slavery in the United States . . . as multifaceted as the movement it chronicles.”—The Boston Globe

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From early slave rebels to radical reformers of the Civil War era and beyond, the struggle to end slavery was a diverse, dynamic, and ramifying social movement. In this succinct narrative, Richard S. Newman examines the key people, themes, and ideas that animated abolitionism in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-centuries in the United States and internationally. Filled with portraits of key abolitionists - including Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, Anthony Benezet, Toussaint L'Ouverture, Elizabeth Heyrick, Richard Allen, and Angelina Grimké - the book highlights abolitionists' focus on social and political action. From the Underground Railroad and legal aid for oppressed people to legislative lobbying and military service, abolitionists employed every conceivable means to attack slavery and racial injustice. Their collective struggles helped bring down slavery - the most powerful economic and political institution of the age - across the Atlantic world and inspired generations of reformers. Sharply written and highly readable, Abolitionism: A Very Short Introduction offers an inspiring portrait of the men and women who dedicated their lives to fighting racial oppression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'American Slavery as It is' by Theodore Dwight Weld, the author presents a detailed and harrowing account of the realities of slavery in America during the 19th century. Weld uses a stark and factual style to expose the brutality and inhumanity of the institution of slavery, providing readers with a firsthand look at the profound injustices faced by enslaved individuals. Written in the form of testimonials, letters, and narratives, the book offers a poignant and sobering portrayal of the horrors of slavery, making it a significant piece of antislavery literature of the time. Weld's meticulous attention to detail and his passionate advocacy for the abolition of slavery resonates throughout the text, making it a powerful and influential work in the fight against slavery. As a prominent abolitionist and social reformer, Theodore Dwight Weld was deeply involved in the antislavery movement in America. His firsthand experiences and tireless activism fueled his commitment to exposing the atrocities of slavery and advocating for its abolition. Weld's fierce dedication to the cause is evident in 'American Slavery as It is', making it a seminal work in the history of abolitionism. I highly recommend 'American Slavery as It is' to readers interested in delving into the brutal realities of slavery in America and exploring the historical significance of the abolitionist movement. Weld's powerful and moving account sheds light on a dark chapter in American history and serves as a testament to the resilience and courage of those who fought against oppression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the fascinating, fraught alliance among Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, and Maria Weston Chapman—and how its breakup led to the success of America’s most important social movement. “Fresh, provocative and engrossing.” —New York Times In the crucial early years of the Abolition movement, the Boston branch of the cause seized upon the star power of the eloquent ex-slave Frederick Douglass to make its case for slaves’ freedom. Journalist William Lloyd Garrison promoted emancipation while Garrison loyalist Maria Weston Chapman, known as “the Contessa,” raised money and managed Douglass’s speaking tour from her Boston townhouse. Conventional histories have seen Douglass’s departure for the New York wing of the Abolition party as a result of a rift between Douglass and Garrison. But, as acclaimed historian Linda Hirshman reveals, this completely misses the woman in power. Weston Chapman wrote cutting letters to Douglass, doubting his loyalty; the Bostonian abolitionists were shot through with racist prejudice, even aiming the N-word at Douglass among themselves. Through incisive, original analysis, Hirshman convinces that the inevitable breakup was in fact a successful failure. Eventually, as the most sought-after Black activist in America, Douglass was able to dangle the prize of his endorsement over the Republican Party’s candidate for president, Abraham Lincoln. Two years later the abolition of slavery—if not the abolition of racism—became immutable law.
