This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of State Legislation Concerning the Free Negro: Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Political Science in Columbia University It is evident that complete generalizations concerning the general trend of legislation affecting the negro cannot be based on the laws dealt with in this volume alone. Only the carrying out of the original plan would have made possible a valid general summary of the trend of legislation concerning the negro in this country. It is the author's hope, however, that a complete review of the field indicated will prove more valuable than the possible results of an attempt to deal in an incomplete manner with the whole field. The thorough treatment undertaken has involved much labor and difficult investigation. It would have been impossible except for the libraries of the New York Bar Association and the New York Law Institute, where the larger part of the investigation was done.

Book Synopsis Slavery by Another Name by : Douglas A. Blackmon
Download or read book Slavery by Another Name written by Douglas A. Blackmon and published by Icon Books. This book was released on 2012-10-04 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Pulitzer Prize-winning history of the mistreatment of black Americans. In this 'precise and eloquent work' - as described in its Pulitzer Prize citation - Douglas A. Blackmon brings to light one of the most shameful chapters in American history - an 'Age of Neoslavery' that thrived in the aftermath of the Civil War through the dawn of World War II. Using a vast record of original documents and personal narratives, Blackmon unearths the lost stories of slaves and their descendants who journeyed into freedom after the Emancipation Proclamation and then back into the shadow of involuntary servitude thereafter. By turns moving, sobering and shocking, this unprecedented account reveals these stories, the companies that profited the most from neoslavery, and the insidious legacy of racism that reverberates today.

This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998. During the first quarter of the seventeenth century Blacks began arriving in the middle colonies region. At first, regulation of these individuals posed no problem, but by the beginning of the eighteenth century it became increasingly obvious that specific laws governing Blacks needed to be legislated in detail. New York took the lead by having more slaves and legislation than New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This study is primarily an effort to analyze and compare legislation governing Blacks in the middle colonies.

Book Synopsis The Black Laws in the Old Northwest by : Stephen Middleton
Download or read book The Black Laws in the Old Northwest written by Stephen Middleton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1993-03-30 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Northwest Territory (now the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin), under the Ordinance of 1787, was a free jurisdiction. Yet, all of the states of the territory, except Wisconsin, adopted Black Laws, legislation designed to subjugate African Americans. For the first time, this book brings together the Black Laws of the Old Northwest. The documents in the volume include statutes, legislative reports and resolutions, and petitions and memorials produced by the state legislatures, government agencies, or concerned citizens. Together, the documents provide a history of racial discrimination in this free territory. After a brief prologue, Stephen Middleton organizes the documents by state. Within each state, the documents are arranged into sets on specific topics such as immigration laws, welfare and public education laws, and jury and testimony laws. Although in general the editor lets the documents speak for themselves, he introduces each set of documents with commentary pointing to the themes in the documents. The volume will be a valuable resource for both students and scholars concerned with African-American history.

Excerpt: ...a 1 For proof of their contentment and happiness, see Cassagnac's Voyage aux Antilles, vol. i, pp. 149, 155, 239. Puynode, a French abolitionist, feeling the importance of this view, strives to show that slavery diminishes the increase of the slave population. De l'Esclavage et des Colonies, p. 35. 3 The Conquerors of the New World, and their Bondsmen, vol. ii, p. 151, gives a striking instance where several thousand Indians and fifty negroes were employed by the Spaniards in transporting the timbers for vessels across the Isthmus. The Indians perished by hundreds--not a single negro died. As early as 1511, the King of Spain directs his Colonial Governor so to act, that the Indians may increase, and not diminish, as in Hispaniola. Ibid, vol. i, p. 232. steady and remarkable increase in the slave population. From a few hundred thousand, they now number more than four millions; and, making allowance for emigration and other causes, the ratio of increase is at least equal to that of the white population of the same States.1 On the contrary, the increase among the free black population of the Northern States, notwithstanding the element of fugitives from the South, and emancipated slaves, shows a ratio of increase very inferior.2 The Census of 1850 shows, also, the fact, that the duration of life is greater among the slaves of the South, than among the free negroes of the North.3 The same unerring testimony also shows, that there are three times as many deaf mutes, four times as many blind, more than three times as many idiots, and more than ten times as many insane, in proportion to numbers, among the free colored persons, than among the slaves. The same is true of the free blacks of Liberia. Notwithstanding the constant...

Book Synopsis Black Laws of Virginia by : June Purcell Guild
Download or read book Black Laws of Virginia written by June Purcell Guild and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals exclusively with the status of the Virginia Negro, bond and free, as tracted through the laws, resolutions and ordinances of the Virginia Assembly beginning with the earliest records and coming down to the present, with the addition of a few pertinent sections from Virginia constitutions. Law always reflects the social condition and thinking of the people who make it. This summary of the major enactments of the Virginia Assembly, therefore, not only clarifies the legal position of the Negro but reveals something of the official attitude of the people with whom his fate was--and is--cast. At the same time it indicates the historical beginnings of many of the disadvantages and discriminations surrounding him today as well as deeply embedded causes for his own racial attitudes and customs. It is the hope of the writer that White Americans, including Virginians, reading this book and noting harshness has solved no human problems in the past will decide to grant Negroes of tomorrow fairer political, economic, and educational opportunities. -- Introduction.
Download or read book Family Bonds written by Ted Maris-Wolf and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1854 and 1864, more than a hundred free African Americans in Virginia proposed to enslave themselves and, in some cases, their children. Ted Maris-Wolf explains this phenomenon as a response to state legislation that forced free African Americans to make a terrible choice: leave enslaved loved ones behind for freedom elsewhere or seek a way to remain in their communities, even by renouncing legal freedom. Maris-Wolf paints an intimate portrait of these people whose lives, liberty, and use of Virginia law offer new understandings of race and place in the upper South. Maris-Wolf shows how free African Americans quietly challenged prevailing notions of racial restriction and exclusion, weaving themselves into the social and economic fabric of their neighborhoods and claiming, through unconventional or counterintuitive means, certain basic rights of residency and family. Employing records from nearly every Virginia county, he pieces together the remarkable lives of Watkins Love, Jane Payne, and other African Americans who made themselves essential parts of their communities and, in some cases, gave up their legal freedom in order to maintain family and community ties.
Book Synopsis The Negro and the Law by : Wilford H Smith
Download or read book The Negro and the Law written by Wilford H Smith and published by . This book was released on 2013-04-27 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The colored people in the United States are indebted to the beneficent provisions of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution of the United States, for the establishment of their freedom and citizenship, and it is to these mainly they must look for the maintenance of their liberty and the protection of their civil rights. These amendments followed close upon the Emancipation Proclamation issued January 1st, 1863, by President Lincoln, and his call for volunteers, which was answered by more than three hundred thousand negro soldiers, who, during three years of military service, helped the Union arms to victory at Appomattox. Standing in the shadow of the awful calamity and deep distress of the civil war, and grateful to God for peace and victory over the rebellion, the American people, who upheld the Union, rose to the sublime heights of doing justice to the former slaves, who had grown and multiplied with the country from the early settlement at Jamestown.
