Military Medicine and the Making of Race
This book demonstrates how Britain's black soldiers helped shape attitudes towards race throughout the nineteenth century. The West India Regiments were part of the British military establishment for 132 years, generating vast records with details about every one of their 100,000+ recruits which made them the best-documented group of black men in the Atlantic World. Tim Lockley shows how, in the late eighteenth century, surgeons established in me…
Race Relations in Slave Societies
The roughly 10 million Africans transported forcibly to the Americas between 1500 and 1850 were thrust headlong into a bewildering variety of different environments. Some cleared the jungles of South America, others grew sugar on small Caribbean islands, while a smaller number laboured in rice fields and tobacco farms, or on the wharves of ports on the North American mainland. In all these locations, enslaved Africans added to a pre-existing mix …
Slaveholders and slaves in Savannah's 1860 census
This article re-examines the 1860 census for Savannah Georgia. It melds the free and slave census to gain insights into slave ownership, owners’ occupations and makes tentative suggestions as to slave occupations. It argues that the concentration of slaveholding among a minority of locally born residents explains both the tensions evident in white society during the 1850s and actions taken to ease them. It also demonstrates that the widely used d…
Race and Slavery
This article focuses on the concept of ‘race’ and how Americans of various sorts understood it, particularly in relation to slavery. The discussion covers early constructions of race, the introduction of slavery to the Americas, the ‘mixed-race’ problem, the problem of poor whites, and race and Native Americans
Race Relations in Slave Societies
Slaves generally had masters, and those masters were generally wealthy men of high status, even if the ranks of slave owners sometimes included women, free coloureds, and the state. Masters’ authority in the family, community, and polity was enhanced by owning slaves. If one is to understand the world of slaves, then one needs to look at the world of their masters, not only because the purpose of enslavement was to make masters’ lives easier, but…
Maroon Communities in South Carolina
The manly game
This study examines the rise and fall of the Savannah Cricket Club in 1859. It demonstrates that while cricket had deep historical roots in Georgia, there were specific reasons for the creation of the SCC in 1859. Most important of these was the players' own perception of their masculine identity, and the opportunity that cricket offered as a forum for its expression. By 1860, however, the approaching Civil War meant that military activity replac…
Lines in the Sand
Lines in the Sand
Over the last two decades or so, a number of studies have rescued the antebellum South's non-slaveowners from historical invisibility. A central question that has in some way informed most of these inquiries is why the Old South's plain folk supported slavery and, in 1860–1861, the Confederacy. Timothy James Lockley, in Lines in the Sand, tackles this issue head-on by focusing on how non-slaveholders in the Georgia low country interacted with the…

Trading Encounters between Non-Elite Whites and African Americans in Savannah, 1790-1860
BETWEEN 1790, WHEN CIVIC GOVERNMENT WAS FIRST INSTITUTED IN Savannah, Georgia, and 1848, when records of fines ceased to be noted in the council minutes, the city council, acting as the mayor's court, handed down more than fifteen hundred fines to nearly nine hundred individuals convicted of violating the trading ordinances.' The offenses included retailing liquor without a license, keeping a shop open after official hours, trading with slaves, a…
Crossing the race divide
This article explores the social significance of inter-racial sexual contact in an antebellum Southern city. How did inter-racial sex challenge the established social hierarchy in Savannah? Was it a controversial issue, viewed as a threat to the social order, or was it accepted as an inevitable evil resulting from a mixed population residing in close proximity
