Slouching Towards Arlington House
This essay discusses the author's visit to Arlington House in the spring of 2025, a season of deepening crisis for federally funded research and public history on slavery and Black life in the United States. Arlington House (a National Park Service site also known as the Robert E. Lee Memorial) was closed for renovation in 2018 and reopened in 2021 with a new interpretive focus on slavery and freedom. Two years later, descendant groups signed an …

Ira Berlin. The Long Emancipation
Rael’s manuscript became a longer exploration entitled Eighty-Eight Years: The Long Death of Slavery in the United States, 1777–1865. Yet these eloquent volumes complement, instead of duplicate, each other. “When we swapped manuscripts,” notes Berlin, “it became clear that two books that started from the same premise would be very different” (Berlin, 214). Both should be mainstays on graduate syllabi while also reaching popular audiences. The boo…
The Problem of Slavery in the Age of Emancipation, written by David Brion Davis
The Case of John L. Brown
Nineteenth-century abolitionists viewed their transatlantic activism as a simple strategy in which the circulation of facts about slavery in Great Britain could place effective pressure on slaveholders in the United States. But the 1844 case of John L. Brown, a South Carolina man sentenced to death for helping a runaway slave to escape, reveals that transatlantic abolitionist campaigns could still be hampered by lag times in communication, by the…
Saltwater anti-slavery
Despite the explosion of interdisciplinary interest in the Atlantic world, the Atlantic Ocean itself is often quickly passed over in studies of transatlantic abolitionism. However, this essay briefly considers what we might learn about abolitionists from a perspective that treats the ocean as a “place” in its own right. American abolitionists in the mid-nineteenth century made numerous Atlantic crossings, and the crossings themselves – often aboa…
His Brothers' Keeper
Recent biographies of abolitionist John Brown emphasise his uniqueness and cast him as an anomalous figure in the anti-slavery movement. This article, however, makes the case for Brown's representativeness by connecting his career to his formative years in north-eastern Ohio, a geographical and cultural context that shaped Brown's lifelong image of himself as an adviser and manager of wilderness communities. That self-image made Brown similar to …
John Brown, Quietist
In common usage, quietism is often conflated with passivity, and pacifism is often equated with quietism. As a result, pacifism has often been confused with passivity. In the antebellum United States, John Brown and other militant abolitionists who endorsed the use of violent antislavery tactics criticized nonviolent reformers like William Lloyd Garrison as men of words instead of men of action. Garrison and his allies rejected the equation of th…
Introduction
In this introduction to the fourth part of an ongoing symposium on quietism, Perl, the editor of the sponsoring journal Common Knowledge, remarks on a new question raised in this latest grouping of articles. Can there be such a thing as a "mezza voce quietism"? Can there be activist quietists or quietist activists or active teachers of quietism without self-contradiction? Perl takes Gandhi and "passive resistance" as his own test case, concluding…

The Fourth and the First
For twenty-five years, said William Lloyd Garrison in 1858, abolitionists like himself had been described in Northern newspapers as "crazy lunatics and wild disorganizers—and [their] meetings represented as unworthy of countenance by sane and decent men!" He knew the reasons why. Radical abolitionists, and Garrisonians in particular, transgressed the norms of polite society in antebellum America. Their views on slavery, gender, race, and religion…
Management Dilemmas and Decisions
This study assesses the impact of decision framing and the anticipated behavior of others on choosing to cooperate in social dilemma problems. Two hundred and eighty-eight students completed a questionnaire which presented two management scenarios representative of social dilemmas a manager might confront in a business environment. The two scenarios were based on parameters established by a generalized uniform N-person dilemma game. One scenario …
