Excerpt: ... number, were permanently excluded, on the ground of fraud in their election; and that old city has sent a full Democratic ticket in their stead--good men and true, --and some of her ablest and longest tried citizens. On one ground and another, the seats of certain senators were vacated, and these were promptly filled by Democrats--the Radicals, as in Charleston, making no nominations. At last, the sudden disappearance of the notorious Whittemore, from that body, gave the Democrats the majority there also. Whittemore's seat was declared vacant, and a Democrat has been elected in his place also. The most important action of this session of the Legislature, was the appointment of two able committees to sit during the recess. The first committee is to investigate the financial condition of the State, particularly her bonded debts. The second is to inquire into and bring to trial, all frauds, high crimes and misdemeanors perpetrated against the State, . under Radical rule. It was this last measure that frightened Whittemore off, and has caused many others to depart abruptly. But it is no part of the committee's duties or purpose to drive the Radicals from the State. So far from it, they are sending to the highways and hedges, and compelling them to come in. Their proceedings, of course, are private; but, from their success, thus far, and from the character of the tribunal, there is no doubt that their work will be thoroughly done. See Appendix. Our narrative now closes in the midst of this most stupendous revolution, and one brought about by means, apparently, so inadequate. It was the result of prudence, caution and long-suffering patience--qualities in which South Carolina has but recently been indoctrinated--all guided by profound...
Book Synopsis A Voice from the South by : Anna Julia Cooper
Download or read book A Voice from the South written by Anna Julia Cooper and published by Standard Ebooks. This book was released on 2024-07-15T16:50:49Z with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Voice from the South was published in 1892 by Anna Julia Cooper, an educator who was one of the first two African-American women to be awarded a master’s degree. Since then it has been recognized as one of the first works of Black feminist theory. Setting forth a perspective that would be described as “intersectional” in contemporary terms, Cooper explores her own lived experience as an educated African-American woman, and advocates for the education of African-American women as a necessary means of achieving racial equality. However, her marked emphasis on women’s roles in the household has been critiqued by later theorists as a concession to the 19th century “cult of domesticity”—or, alternatively, a strategic engagement with the dominant cultural view towards women in her time. A Voice from the South continues to be read and analyzed today for its pioneering role in African-American female scholarship. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

Book Synopsis Voices of Black South Carolina by : Damon L. Fordham
Download or read book Voices of Black South Carolina written by Damon L. Fordham and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009-02-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the contributions notable Black South Carolinians gave to bring encouragement and inspiration to their communities. Did you know that eighty-eight years before Rosa Parks's historic protest, a courageous black woman in Charleston kept her seat on a segregated streetcar? What about Robert Smalls, who steered a Confederate warship into Union waters, freeing himself and some of his family, and later served in the South Carolina state legislature? In this inspiring collection, historian Damon L. Fordham relates story after story of notable black South Carolinians, many of whose contributions to the state's history have not been brought to light until now. From the letters of black soldiers during the Civil War to the impassioned pleas by students of "Munro's School" for their right to an education, these are the voices of protest and dissent, the voices of hope and encouragement and the voices of progress.
Book Synopsis Coming Through by : Genevieve W. Chandler
Download or read book Coming Through written by Genevieve W. Chandler and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Coming Through marks the first complete publication of these interviews with former slaves and their descendants living in the Waccamaw Neck region of South Carolina as collected by Genevieve W. Chandler in the 1930s as part of the WPA Federal Writers' Project. Between 1936 and 1938 Chandler interviewed more than one hundred individuals in and around All Saints Parish, a portion of Horry and Georgetown counties located between the Waccamaw River and the Atlantic Ocean. Her subjects spoke freely with her on topics ranging from slave punishment to folk medicine, from conditions in the Jim Crow South to the exploits of Brer Rabbit." "Coming Through consists primarily of interviews with forty-nine Gullah-speaking African American informants sharing life experiences with Chandler. The subjects range in age from 9-year-old George Kato Singleton to 104-year-old Welcome Bees. A biography of each subject accompanies the interviews. Collectively these interviews form an intimate portrait of a fascinating subculture of the Carolina coast and the Sea Islands as shared with a remarkable woman who had special access to converse with the people of this traditionally insular world. Moreover they provide an unparalleled firsthand account of the African American experience in South Carolina in the words of those who lived it."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Voice From South Carolina: With a Journal of a Reputed Ku-Klux, and an Appendix Ex-president Davis, have found nothing to report from them. These gentlemen show that it is the part of true manhood to endure what is unavoidable, as well as to dare; and that fortitude is, in many respects a higher virtue than bravery. This Voice from South Carolina, comes from one of her humble sons, whose earnest desire is to Cling but the closer to her side in the day Of her humiliation. He feels irresistibly impelled to publish to the world that the grand old State, declared to be free, sovereign and independent, an hundred years ago, is now deposed, gagged, and trampled in the dust. Her seat and name has been usurped by a brazen-faced strumpet, foisted upon her high places by the hands of strangers; her proud monuments of the past. All begrimed and vandalized; her sacred treasury thrown wide open to the insatiable rapacity of thieves and robbers; and her bright escutcheon blackened by every crime known to the decalogue.

Book Synopsis Voices of the Enslaved by : Sophie White
Download or read book Voices of the Enslaved written by Sophie White and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In eighteenth-century New Orleans, the legal testimony of some 150 enslaved women and men--like the testimony of free colonists--was meticulously recorded and preserved. Questioned in criminal trials as defendants, victims, and witnesses about attacks, murders, robberies, and escapes, they answered with stories about themselves, stories that rebutted the premise on which slavery was founded. Focusing on four especially dramatic court cases, Voices of the Enslaved draws us into Louisiana's courtrooms, prisons, courtyards, plantations, bayous, and convents to understand how the enslaved viewed and experienced their worlds. As they testified, these individuals charted their movement between West African, indigenous, and colonial cultures; they pronounced their moral and religious values; and they registered their responses to labor, to violence, and, above all, to the intimate romantic and familial bonds they sought to create and protect. Their words--punctuated by the cadences of Creole and rich with metaphor--produced riveting autobiographical narratives as they veered from the questions posed by interrogators. Carefully assessing what we can discover, what we might guess, and what has been lost forever, Sophie White offers both a richly textured account of slavery in French Louisiana and a powerful meditation on the limits and possibilities of the archive.
Book Synopsis South Carolina Scalawags by : Hyman Rubin III
Download or read book South Carolina Scalawags written by Hyman Rubin III and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first history of the efforts and fates of white Republicans during Reconstruction South Carolina Scalawags tells the familiar story of Reconstruction from a mostly unfamiliar vantage point, that of white southerners who broke ranks and supported the newly recognized rights and freedoms of their black neighbors. The end of the Civil War turned South Carolina's political hierarchy upside down by calling into existence what had not existed before, a South Carolina Republican Party, and putting its members at the helm of state government from 1868 to 1876. Composed primarily of former slaves, the burgeoning party also attracted the membership of newly arrived northern "carpetbaggers" and of white South Carolinians who had lived in the state prior to secession. Known as "scalawags," these South Carolinians numbered as many as ten thousand—fifteen percent of the state's white population—but have remained a maligned and largely misunderstood component of post-Civil War politics. In this first book-length exploration of their egalitarian objectives and short-lived ambitions, Hyman Rubin III resurrects the lives and careers of these individuals who took a leading role during Reconstruction. South Carolina Scalawags delves into the lives of representative white Republicans, exploring their backgrounds, political attitudes and actions, and post-Reconstruction fates. The Republicans succeeded in creating a much more representative and responsive government than the state had seen before or would see for generations. During its heyday the party began to attract wealthier white citizens, many of whom were moderates favoring cooperation between open-minded Democrats and responsible Republicans. In assessing the eventual Republican collapse, Rubin does not gloss over disturbing trends toward factionalism and corruption that increasingly characterized the party's governance. Rather he points to these failings in explaining the federal government's abandonment of the party in 1876 and the Democrats' reassertion of white supremacy.
