An Unholy Traffic: Slave Trading in the Civil War South
Country of the Cursed and the Driven: Slavery and the Texas Borderlands
Paul Barba's Country of the Cursed and the Driven narrates the intertwined development of two systems of bondage—one of Indigenous peoples, the other of people of African descent—in the Texas borderlands from the sixteenth century to the outbreak of the American Civil War. Based on sources in Texas, this longue durée study raises important questions about what defines slavery and how two coercive labor systems shaped one another in a region marke…

The Massacre at Gracias a Dios: Mobility and Violence on the Lower Rio Grande, 1821-1856
On March 20, 1856, Mexican forces massacred a band of Lipan Apaches at a river crossing known as Gracias a Dios. Historians have described the massacre as an example of the growing violence against Native peoples in Mexico, motivated by a desire to control movement across the U.S.-Mexico border. But given the long history of border crossings in the region, why did Mexican forces massacre the Lipan Apaches in 1856, rather than at some earlier poin…
Minerva, Nineteenth-Century Téjas and Louisiana (US), and Mexico
In 1834, an enslaved woman named Minerva submitted a petition to the U.S. District Court of Western Louisiana, claiming that her late master had freed her and her three children in his will but that his wife, Rachel, had “forcibly carried” them from their home in Arkansas to Mexico in order to continue holding them in bondage. Minerva’s story, recovered from previously unexamined records of the U.S. District Court of Western Louisiana, reveals th…
The Limits of Liberty: Mobility and the Making of the Eastern US-Mexico Border
In 1928, Lucien Febvre published a brief essay called “Frontière: The Word and the Concept,” in which he traced how the meaning of borders in France shifted, according to the aims and interests of its rulers. In the 90 years since the essay's publication, historians have explored how the purpose and significance of borders have changed over time. The Limits of Liberty makes an important contribution to this scholarship. By excavating how native p…
