    Open AccessGraham Russell Hodges, Graham Russell Gao HodgesARTICLEJournal of American History2019

    Mark A. Lause, a noted scholar of American political radicalism, has produced a useful synthesis of current scholarship that adds, as is his penchant, fascinating and unexpected personalities and connections. Ira Berlin, Manisha Sinha, and Patrick Rael, among many others, bind the American Revolution with the Civil War as one long struggle for African American freedom. Sean Wilentz's Chants Democratic (1984) makes a similar argument for white art…

  • Gordon S. Barker. Fugitive Slaves and the Unfinished American Revolution: Eight Cases, 1848–1856

    Graham Russell HodgesARTICLEThe American Historical Review2014

    In this trim book, Gordon S. Barker strives to enlarge our understanding of the American Revolution to encompass African American freedom struggles, most notably those of fugitive slaves. Barker argues that the legacy of the American Revolution should expand beyond George Bancroft's periodization, which culminates in the expansion of suffrage to white male citizens in the 1820s and symbolically ends in the deaths of John Adams and Thomas Jefferso…

  • Kościuszko and African-American History

    Graham Russell Hodges, Graham Russell Gao HodgesARTICLEThe Polish Review2014References: 5

    My interest in Tadeusz Kościuszko’s importance to African-American history derives from a book that Gary Nash and I published in 2008 called Friends of Liberty: Thomas Jefferson, Tadeusz Kościuszko, and Agrippa Hull.1 In that book, we studied Kościuszko’s relationship with the black American revolutionary soldier and farmer Agrippa Hull and, later, the Polish patriot’s deep friendship with Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United State…

    François Furstenberg, Gary B Nash et al.ARTICLEJournal of American History2009

  • Faith in Their Own Color: Black Episcopalians in Antebellum New York City

    Graham Russell Hodges, G R G HodgesARTICLEJournal of American History2006

    One of the most widely accepted truths about antebellum America is that Afro-Christian churches were the core of free black communities. African American disenchantment with white Protestantism spurred a nationalist movement toward the creation of black churches and an educated clerical elite. Scholarly focus is nearly always on such evangelical denominations as Methodists or Baptists. Craig D. Townsend's history of St. Philip's Episcopal Church,…
