Birthright or Citizenship
Sources and U. S. Citizenship in the Antebellum United States
This article republishes a series of documents concerning citizenship rights for African Americans who were abroad. Twice during the 1850s the U.S. Secretary of State (William L. Marcy) issued instructions to consuls where he spelled out the relationship between race and citizenship for individuals who were beyond the borders of the United States. Because citizenship was not clearly defined the antebellum period, either in law or practice, the Se…
The Science of Abolition
Complexion of Empire in Natchez
In this deeply researched provocative study of slavery in the Natchez district, Christian Pinnen, associate professor of history at Mississippi College, makes an important contribution to the literature on slavery in North America’s borderlands. Focusing on the Natchez District between the 1720s and 1820s, Pinnen explores the dynamics of making race in four different legal systems—the French, British, Spanish, and US. Throughout the book he puts …

Surviving Slavery in the British Caribbean
For years, scholars of plantation slavery have been moving past familiar debates, such as those over resistance and accommodation, creolization and diaspora, agency and hegemony. This book joins a long list of works that try to recast those old debates. Yet Randy Browne is more ambitious than this: his book conceives of slavery beyond the binary of master and slave, which, he argues, limits our understanding of slave societies. As a corollary, th…
Beyond plantations
This article offers an analysis of Indigenous and African slavery in the Illinois Country during the eighteenth century. It shows that slavery did not operate as an institution and was not organized around plantation production, but that human bondage was a set of adaptable practices. Slavery took many forms, and masters had to adapt to that diversity and, in so doing, they forged a single, heterogeneous slave system. Frenchmen brought enslaved w…
Empire by Collaboration
Empire by Collaboration reveals “a new side of the early modern French empire and a different side of early modern colonialism more generally” (7). It marks a departure from existing scholarship that measures the relative success or failure of empires to implement their policies in the Americas. Rather than attempt to discern if the imperial center could tame the colonial periphery, Morrissey asks, “What was the nature of colonialism?” (6). Spann…
