Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Emancipation of English Women NO argument is so common on the lips of the Opponents of Woman Suffrage as that women cannot be emancipated, for they have never been slaves. Those who make this statement can have little knowledge of the facts of history. I shall show in' these pages that, so far from having en joyed freedom, women have for more than two hundred years been struggling against the egoism Of the male sex; that the inferiority which want Of physical strength has imposed Upon them has been aggravated by religion, by law, and by custom; that they have had to contend, always against the indifference, Often against the active prejudice, con tempt, and jealousy of men to Obtain education.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plantation Life Before Emancipation The chapters to follow were originally given to the public in the form of a series of letters, under the same title, contributed to the columns of The Southwestern Presbyterian, the official organ for over twenty years of the Synod of Mississippi, embracing the greater part of the State of the same name, and the whole of Louisiana. They were suggested by an article copied into that journal from The New York Evangelist, and written by a lady, a native of South Carolma, married and resident at the North, in defence of Southern Christian slaveholders from the aspersions of a secretary of the Northern Presbyterian Freedmen's Board. In this graceful and vigorous vindication of her fellow-countrymen, quotation was made from an old faded copy of a printed report, made by Rev. Charles Colcock Jones, to the Liberty County Georgia "Association for the Religious Instruction of the Colored People."

He visits the Hotel-Dieu, founded by an Archbishop of Paris, endowed by Philip Augustus and St. Louis, enlarged by Henri IV., and enriched by the benefactions of a long line of monarchs. He then, in the Faubourg-Saint-Jacques, visits another hospital, more airy, neater, more commodious, and better ordered, with a smaller proportional mortality than the HotelDieu, giving annual relief to more than 2, 000 patients, founded during the last century by a single man, whose name it still bears, the Hopital-Cochin. Its founder, the Curate of Saint-Jacques-du-Haut-Pas, was one of a family distinguished for its services in the French magistracy, for its administrative ability, and for its beneficence.

The approach to the front of the house was through an avenue in the woods; and, from the contiguity of this front to the trees, it seldom saw the sun, excepting on a fine day in winter, when the woods were leaﬂess.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Slave in History: His Sorrows and His Emancipation What the Serpent was to Laocoon, slavery with its entwining folds and its Slow torture has been to the world. The nineteenth century saw many changes, but none Of greater social effect than the movement which broke the power Of slavery. A usage of primitive times, it had grown with the rise and fall of empires, and ruled as the sum of all tyrannies, the embodiment of all cruelties, - pleading as its justification from age to age, even after the emancipation Of Europe, necessity, convenience, tradition, - till at last the spirit of free men rose against it. The struggle which followed was prolonged; it had its prophets and its martyrs; the inward light of conscience led the way with new illuminating power; and human sympathies that had been well-nigh strangled awoke, put on their strength, and did not slumber till they had won for the slave a place in the brotherhood of men. The final adjustment is yet to come. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slave Emancipation in Cuba is the classic study of the end of slavery in Cuba. Rebecca J. Scott explores the dynamics of Cuban emancipation, arguing that slavery was not simply abolished by the metropolitan power of Spain or abandoned because of economic contradictions. Rather, slave emancipation was a prolonged, gradual and conflictive process unfolding through a series of social, legal, and economic transformations.Scott demonstrates that slaves themselves helped to accelerate the elimination of slavery. Through flight, participation in nationalist insurgency, legal action, and self-purchase, slaves were able to force the issue, helping to dismantle slavery piece by piece. With emancipation, former slaves faced transformed, but still very limited, economic options. By the end of the nineteenth-century, some chose to join a new and ultimately successful rebellion against Spanish power. In a new afterword, prepared for this edition, the author reflects on the complexities of postemancipation society, and on recent developments in historical methodology that make it possible to address these questions in new ways.
