Riding the Rails with Jim Crow
New England railroads, segregated transportation, and the origins of the term Jim Crow appeared in the 1830s. The equal rights movement in New England shifted toward direct action in the 1840s. Constituting only a small portion of the overall population, activists could not overturn segregation and racism by themselves. They believed—they almost had to—that most New Englanders were decent people who, when aware of injustice, would want it elimina…
Fugitives
There was no straight line from a racist society to one that supported full equality, and there was no guarantee that a right established one year could not be changed the next. That rang true in the United States and particularly in New England following the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law. This chapter analyzes the four most important fugitive slave cases of the region: William and Ellen Craft, Frederick Minkins, Thomas Sims, and Anthony Burn…
The Wall
Any comparison of the 1850s with 1830 would conclude that the struggle for equal rights had made substantial progress. Almost all legal discriminations had ended. There was increased opportunity for advancement. Some black New Englanders gained wealth, political positions, access to cultural venues, and all the other trappings of the affluent middle class. But a wall of poverty and limited economic opportunities limited most. They faced the doubl…
Forward Steps
Reform in all its various coats became somewhat more respectable, but most of all, African Americans were learning how to work the system and were taking the lead in fighting for equal rights. Black Rhode Islanders gained voting rights. Boston's African American community with significant white support kept George Latimer from being reenslaved and in the process prompted the creation of personal liberty laws in every New England state but Maine. …
Inching Ahead
People of African descent in Boston continued to struggle for school integration in their city, despite stiff opposition from many in the white community. Their task was made more difficult because of splits within their own ranks. A majority of black Bostonians wanted to end segregation in all the city schools, but a vocal minority advocated keeping the black public schools while integrating the rest. Nonetheless, in 1855 the state legislature p…
Unity and Uplift
Any attempt to reverse the condition of African Americans in New England had to consider what a small fraction of the overall population they were. Success depended upon unity of African Americans and changing attitudes and behaviors of white New Englanders. This chapter analyzes those efforts from what to call themselves to creating black institutions to enlisting white support. Activists in the 1830s largely focused on the tactic of uplift, pri…
The World of Hosea Easton and David Walker
Hosea Easton and David Walker described and analyzed racism in New England during the late 1820s. New England had initially been more receptive to its black population than were other sections of the United States, but as their populations of free people of African descent dramatically increased, states began to reverse themselves. By the 1820s, laws forbade free people of African descent from marrying whites, employment was limited to the most m…
Emancipation and Free African Americans
Except in parts of Rhode Island and Connecticut, slavery was a peripheral institution, and throughout New England during and after the Revolution there was widespread support to emancipate slaves. Some of the states enacted emancipation laws that theoretically allowed slavery to continue almost indefinitely, and slavery remained on the books as late as 1857 in New Hampshire. Although the laws gradually abolished slavery and although the pace was …
New England’s Peculiar Institution
The chapter provides a history of slavery in New England and an interpretation of the origins and evolution of racism and racist practices. Although the first African Americans arrived in New England in the 1630s, their numbers remained small throughout the seventeenth century and almost all lived in some form of servitude. They faced discrimination largely because of their place in the hierarchy rather than their ethnic origins. A significant ch…
Intimidation, Assaults, and Riots
Verbal attacks, physical assaults, and race riots were regular occurrences in the first two-thirds of the 1830s. Black reformers (and African Americans in general) and white abolitionists were the usual targets. The peak year for such assaults in New England turned out to be 1835. After that date, although individual insults and taunts continued, mass attacks on African American neighborhoods and on abolitionists of every hue tapered off and then…
Jim Crow North
The struggle to overcome Jim Crow was part of a larger movement for equal rights in antebellum New England. Using sit-ins, boycotts, petition drives, and other initiatives, African American New Englanders and their white allies attempted to desegregate schools, transportation, neighborhoods, churches, and cultural venues. They worked to secure the franchise, improve educational opportunities, enlarge employment prospects, remove prohibitions agai…
Interpersonal Blame and Perceptions of Choice
Praiseworthiness
Praiseworthiness
Deterministic attitudes, information about a person's background, one's perceived similarity to a target person, and attributions of effort and ability may affect praiseworthiness. Two vignette studies with college student participants were conducted to consider this issue. Based on regression analyses, attributing achievement to effort was the strongest predictor of praiseworthiness across both studies. In addition, evidence for an augmenting ef…
As If an Enemy's Country
Prelude to a Tragedy
This chapter describes the tumultuous events in Boston that began when the merchants' association sought to terminate the Townshend Acts, remove the British troops from the town, protect their rights, and promote their well-being. It considers the merchants' use of the Nonimportation Agreement as a method for attaining a redress of their grievances against Great Britain, as well as the rise in public sentiment against those who continued to impor…

New England Mosaic
The author presents a social and demographic analysis of historical New England in the United States. This investigation is based on records of 22164 people who either migrated to New England before 1650 or were born there between 1620 and 1649. The data come from James Savages Genealogical Dictionary of New England supplemented modified and corrected by genealogies and passenger lists...town county and colony records town and church histories an…
Personalistic Self-Disclosure and Attraction
The effects of personalistic self-disclosure on attraction were first predicted from attribution theory as the result of perceptions of a special relationship beginning between revealer and recipient (Jones and Archer, 1976). Recently, a commodity theory explanation has been proposed in which attraction is seen as the result of the delivery of valuable information that is difficult to obtain elsewhere (e.g., Petty and Mirels, 1981). To pit both v…

The Disclosure-Liking Relationship
Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of a perceiver's own disclosure on attraction for self-disclosing others. In Experiment 1, female undergraduates selected two topics and disclosed information on them to a confederate partner. This disclosure occurred either before or after the confederate disclosed information on three different topics that were either high or low in intimacy. Based on self-perception theory, it was predi…

Risk-as-value hypothesis
The role of dispositional empathy and social evaluation in the empathic mediation of helping
University of Texas at Austin Coke, Batson, and McDavis have proposed a two-stage model of empathy-mediated helping, based on emotional arousal and perspective taking. We hypothesized that in addition, a dispositional factor—individual differences in empathy—and a situational factor—potential evaluation from others (demand)— should be included in the process. A study was conducted in which female subjects received false galvanic skin response fee…

Risk-taking in cooperative and competitive dyads
An individual's decision to cooperate or to compete, and the antecedents and consequences of that choice, continue to occupy the attention of social theorists, researchers, and policy makers. Despite this concern, many questions about the quality of decisions emerging from cooperative and competitive relationships remain unanswered. One of these questions, surprisingly neglected by researchers, is whether or not cooperation and competition differ…
Commitment of Audience, and Legitimacy and Attitudinal Stance of Communicator
Based upon an analysis of anecdotal evidence in social reality, a laboratory experiment was carried out in which were varied: one's prior commitment to consonant behavior and the legitimacy and attitudinal stance (agreedisagree) of a communicator Legitimacy of a communicator was defined as independent of his prestige, sincerity, and personal attractiveness, and limited to his qualifications to speak on a specific issue. A variety of measures were…

Disclosure or concern
Chaikin and Derlega (1974a and b) maintain that social norms dictate reciprocal exchange of intimacy in dyadic interactions. A strong version of this normative hypothesis is that when personal information about self is revealed, only personal information in return from the recipient can satisfy the norm. But a more flexible view of the reciprocity norm might allow the hearer to acknowledge the intimate information received and express an interest…
