Larry Eugene Rivers, Father James Page
"Larry Eugene Rivers, Father James Page: An Enslaved Preacher’s Climb to Freedom." Canadian Journal of History, 56(3), pp. 402–403
A lejandro de la F uente and A riela J. G ross . Becoming Free, Becoming Black
Becoming Free, Becoming Black is a remarkable study in many ways, including the depth and breadth of the research; the sweeping chronological range from the 1500s to the end of slavery in the nineteenth century; the remarkable comparison of three different slave societies of Cuba, Louisiana, and Virginia; the numerous laws and ordinances regulating those in bondage and free persons of color; as well as the broader economic, social, and political …
Ashley Baggett. Intimate Partner Violence in New Orleans
A number of historical studies have discussed intimate partner violence, usually in book chapters, articles, or anecdotes to prove a point or in a discussion of other aspects of southern culture and family life during the time period from before the Civil War to the early twentieth century. Ashley Baggett’s Intimate Partner Violence in New Orleans: Gender, Race, and Reform, 1840–1900 offers a broader and deeper analysis of the subject than any ot…
Freedom Suits, African American Women, and the Genealogy of Slavery
AT various times during 1792 and 1793, Anne Brown, a free person of color, gave four sworn depositions before Annapolis alderman and mayor John Bellum concerning a large group of slaves filing freedom suits in the Maryland General Court of the Western Shore. The daughter of Mary Brown, known as Mulatto Moll, Anne Brown had grown up in the Swamp, located about twenty miles south of the city in Anne Arundel County (Figure I). Her mother was an inde…
Larry Eugene Rivers. Rebels and Runaways
The study of runaway slaves in the South has been the subject of many books and articles, but Florida often goes without mention or is given very little attention in this literature. The present study offers a correction to these omissions and makes an important contribution to the study of fugitive slaves. To say that Larry Eugene Rivers has spent a great deal of time combing through pertinent county court records, runaway-slave advertisements, …
Families in Crisis in the Old South
"In the antebellum South, divorce was an explosive issue. As one lawmaker put it, divorce was to be viewed as a form of 'madness,' and as another asserted, divorce reduced communities to the 'lowest ebb of degeneracy.' How was it that in this climate, the number of divorces rose steadily during the antebellum era? In Families in Crisis in the Old South, Loren Schweninger uses previously unexplored records to argue that the difficulties these divo…
The Accidental Slaveowner
This study seeks to answer questions about the myths of slavery in the southern states and what meanings they hold for us today. In focusing on a story about a female slave named Kitty, or Miss Kitty, held by the Methodist bishop James Osgood Andrew, the first president of Oxford College's Board of Trustees (the precursor of Emory University), Mark Auslander examines her brief life (1822–1851) and uncovers the lives of her children and later kin …
Slavery, Civil War, and Salvation
Re-assessing African-American Christianity\nThe major argument that the author presents in this provocative and interesting study is that the great majority slaves in the southern United States during the late antebellum era did not accept Christ into their lives. This interpretation fl....

Slave women, county courts and the law in the United States South
This article provides an analysis of how slave women, during the period from the American Revolution to the Civil War, filed civil suits for their freedom in the county courts. The cases occurred primarily in the Upper South. It is argued in this article that it was only as property - being part of an estate, cited in an deed of indenture, freed in a last will and testament, being imported into a state against the law, living with their owners or…
Rituals of Resistance
When Sterling Stuckey published his seminal article “Through the Prism of Folklore: The Black Ethos in Slavery” in 1968, little did he realize the impact he was about to make on the study of the “peculiar institution” in the United States. During the next fifteen years, a deluge of books and articles, many of them by the nation's most gifted historians, appeared showing how black culture traced its roots back to Africa. Not a few of these studies…

The Quest for Freedom
Jane was yesterday afternoon about six o’clock arrested,’’ Charles Colcock Jones, Jr., of Savannah began in a letter to his father on the first day of October 1856; ‘‘she is now in confinement in Wright the broker’s yard.’’ Owned by cotton planter Charles C.

Runaway Slaves
Slavery and Southern Violence
In subsequent years, and after using From Slavery to Freedom in my African American history classes, I came to appreciate how important it was to understand the place of violence in Southern history. Of course, a number of scholars have focused on this topic, including Edward Ayers, Philip Schwarz, and Professor Franklin himself, especially in The Militant South. We have some knowledge of the force used to keep slaves in line, to intimidate black…
Runaway Slaves
From John Hope Franklin, America's foremost African American historian, comes this groundbreaking analysis of slave resistance and escape. A sweeping panorama of plantation life before the Civil War, this book reveals that slaves frequently rebelled against their masters and ran away from their plantations whenever they could. For generations, important aspects about slave life on the plantations of the American South have remained shrouded. Hist…
Enterprising Southerners
Delving into the Past–County Court Records and the Pursuit of History
In his famous autobiography, historian and scholar Henry Adams recounted his teaching experiences at Harvard University during the 1870s. Dissatisfied with the lecture method, Adams experimented with different ways to teach. One technique that he adopted was an experiment with primary sources. "Since no textbooks existed, the professor refused to profess," Adams explained, "knowing no more than his students, and the students read what they please…
Free Blacks in Norfolk, Virginia, 1790-1860
Very few studies of free blacks have attempted to interpret the actions and events affecting them from their own perspectives. At the same time. the search for understanding the antebellum black experience in the South usually has centered on slaves. In Free Blacks in Norfolk, Virginia, 1790-1860, Tommy L. Bogger portrays lives somewhere between slavery and freedom. A free black community of skilled artisans and semi-skilled laborers emerged in N…

Black-Owned Businesses in the South, 1790–1880
This essay analyzes the changing configuration of black-owned businesses in the South over nearly a century. It divides the region into two sections—the Lower South and the Upper South—and examines changes that occurred prior to 1840, during the late antebellum era, and as a result of the Civil War. It uses a “wealth model” to define various business groups, and then creates business occupational categories based on the listings in various source…

A Slave Family in the Ante Bellum South
Twentieth century scholars of Afro-American history have offered two basically different interpretations concerning the effect of slavery on the black family. In his famous 1932 study The Negro Family in the United States, Negro sociologist E. Franklin Frazier asserted that slavery destroyed the black family. Fundamental economic forces and material interests, he said, shattered even the toughest bonds of black familial sentiments and parental lo…

Yet, even in slavery James Thomas had laid the foundation for his later financial success, learning the values of frugality, hard work, and business enterprise. At the age of fourteen, in Nashville, Tennessee, he was hired out as an apprentice barber, working for Frank Parrish, a slave who had earlier established a barber shop on the public square.11 He quickly learned the trade.
