Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Immediate Emancipation: The Only Wise and Safe Mode Suppose that the three hundred thousand slaveholders in the United States had, five years since, given freedom to all the slaves in this country, and that the Legislatures of the Slave States had, by a suitable code of laws, provided for such a state of things, securing the masters from injury, and the emancipated from Oppression, leaving it to the par ties to make their own contracts for labor and its remunera tion; preventing vagrancy; assuring to the laborers the rewards of industry; providing for the education of the young; and, in all suitable ways, protecting the people, employers and employees, and their dependents, in their rights - who doubts, in the light of what has been achieved by similar regulations in the British and French islands, in the light of common-sense, and in view of the natural Operation of just and humane laws, that both the late mas ters and the late slaves, nay, the whole community, would, by this time, have been in a well-regulated, peaceful, and prosperous condition - servants being obedient to their masters or employers, and the masters or employers giv ing to their servants that which is just and equal?

Book Synopsis Lincoln and Emancipation by : Edna Greene Medford
Download or read book Lincoln and Emancipation written by Edna Greene Medford and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2015-05-12 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this succinct study, Edna Greene Medford examines the ideas and events that shaped President Lincoln’s responses to slavery, following the arc of his ideological development from the beginning of the Civil War, when he aimed to pursue a course of noninterference, to his championing of slavery’s destruction before the conflict ended. Throughout, Medford juxtaposes the president’s motivations for advocating freedom with the aspirations of African Americans themselves, restoring African Americans to the center of the story about the struggle for their own liberation. Lincoln and African Americans, Medford argues, approached emancipation differently, with the president moving slowly and cautiously in order to save the Union while the enslaved and their supporters pressed more urgently for an end to slavery. Despite the differences, an undeclared partnership existed between the president and slaves that led to both preservation of the Union and freedom for those in bondage. Medford chronicles Lincoln’s transition from advocating gradual abolition to campaigning for immediate emancipation for the majority of the enslaved, a change effected by the military and by the efforts of African Americans. The author argues that many players—including the abolitionists and Radical Republicans, War Democrats, and black men and women—participated in the drama through agitation, military support of the Union, and destruction of the institution from within. Medford also addresses differences in the interpretation of freedom: Lincoln and most Americans defined it as the destruction of slavery, but African Americans understood the term to involve equality and full inclusion into American society. An epilogue considers Lincoln’s death, African American efforts to honor him, and the president’s legacy at home and abroad. Both enslaved and free black people, Medford demonstrates, were fervent participants in the emancipation effort, showing an eagerness to get on with the business of freedom long before the president or the North did. By including African American voices in the emancipation narrative, this insightful volume offers a fresh and welcome perspective on Lincoln’s America.

Book Synopsis The Transformation of American Abolitionism by : Richard S. Newman
Download or read book The Transformation of American Abolitionism written by Richard S. Newman and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2003-04-03 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most accounts date the birth of American abolitionism to 1831, when William Lloyd Garrison began publishing his radical antislavery newspaper, The Liberator. In fact, however, the abolition movement had been born with the American Republic. In the decades following the Revolution, abolitionists worked steadily to eliminate slavery and racial injustice, and their tactics and strategies constantly evolved. Tracing the development of the abolitionist movement from the 1770s to the 1830s, Richard Newman focuses particularly on its transformation from a conservative lobbying effort into a fiery grassroots reform cause. What began in late-eighteenth-century Pennsylvania as an elite movement espousing gradual legal reform began to change in the 1820s as black activists, female reformers, and nonelite whites pushed their way into the antislavery movement. Located primarily in Massachusetts, these new reformers demanded immediate emancipation, and they revolutionized abolitionist strategies and tactics--lecturing extensively, publishing gripping accounts of life in bondage, and organizing on a grassroots level. Their attitudes and actions made the abolition movement the radical cause we view it as today.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Immediate Emancipation: The Speech of Lord Brougham in the the House of Lords, on Tuesday, February 20th, 1838, on Slavery and the Slave-Trade I do not think, my lords, that on any other occasion but one, in the whole course of my parliamentary life, I have ever risen, in either house, with so much anxiety as that with which I now present myself to your lordships' notice. The occasion on which alone I ever experienced a similar feeling, was that on which I brought under the consideration of the House of Commons the conduct pursued in our West India Islands towards those of our unhappy brethren who were there in a state of slavery and suffering. On that occasion, I felt that on the result of the great debate in which the House of Commons then engaged, depended, not only the interests of the unfortunate negro race then existing in the West Indies, but the ultimate fate of the whole of that race in future time. But I have something now to maintain my spirits, my lords, which I did not enjoy at the period to which I have just alluded. For, whereas then the sky was dark around me, whereas then there was scarcely a ray of hope to cheer me, whereas every thing combined to inspire fear and dismay, we are now happily arrived at such a point in the discussion of this most important affair as to throw a bright light over the path on which we are about to enter, and to warrant us in entertaining the expectation of an almost immediate and most satisfactory result of our labours. I attribute much of this to the debate to which I have just alluded. I must add, my lords, that I shall feel gratified beyond measure, if, through my means, the House of Lords should be recommended to the favourable feelings of the country by leading the way to a safe, practical, but glorious settlement of a question in which the country feels so deep an interest. My lords, if your lordships already enjoy the favourable opinion of the country, depend upon it that that opinion will be maintained and increased by the adoption of this course; and if, on the other hand, your lordships should unhappily, by any accidental differences of opinion, find yourselves in a situation in which you have any part of the favourable opinion of the country to recover, I know no surer, no more speedy mode by which that desirable object may be accomplished. But, my lords, I do not rest my case and my appeal to your lordships on this ground. I claim your concurrence in my motion from your justice; I claim it from your reason; I claim it from your consciences; I claim it from your duty to God and man; I claim it from a due consideration to your own consistency. Follow up in 1838 the wise and Christian principles which you asserted in 1888; that is all that I require of you. My lords, I will rush at one into the midst of this argument. I will delay no longer on the outskirts of the ground.1 will not waste another moment in prefatory matter.
