    The publication of Douglas R. Egerton’s He Shall Go Out Free, The Lives of Denmark Vesey offers readers a colorful illustration of the puzzling life of a freed slave named Denmark Vesey—known for his role in planning one of the nation’s major slave revolutions. While the Vesey Rebellion is exceptionally substantial to Vesey’s life, Egerton successfully shows that Vesey was much more than a conspirator but also, arguably, a stand up gentleman. This is justified through the selfless actions committed by Vesey regarding his determination to take liberation back for the slave population in Charleston, South Carolina, even after being declared a free man. Throughout this paper, I will use Egerton’s work to discuss Vesey’s background and upbringing, to discuss Vesey’s plot to rebel and to discuss the events that occurred after the discovery of his plot…

    The conversion to slavery in Virginia did not unravel as a widespread shift confined largely to the end of the seventeenth century. It was a very complex process with multiple phases of subregional diversity. The extent of a planter's investment in slave labor varied widely according to their location, wealth, and economic needs. An initial phase that lasted into the 1650s. The English’s participation in transatlantic slaving was still in infancy, and access to slaves were limited to Virginians but not all members of the Council of State.…

    It focused on the efforts of freed blacks to gain recognition and influence in a public arena through fraternal and religious organizations. They challenged the ideals of liberty and freedom voiced by white that had been categorically denied to their race by highlighting the horrors of slavery, the slave trade, capitalism and racism. The chapter demonstrated this by describing the lives and work of Benneker, Allen, Jones, White, Haynes and countless other black abolitionists. Finally, David Walker’s “Address to Free Persons of Color” aimed to unite the freed African-Americans and break them free from oppression and constraints.…

    Noting the revolution was about ending dependencies on artificial societal rank, he pointed out slaves had the most “dependent status in a hierarchy of dependencies,” creating moral duty to confront this institution. While this was true, it does not paint the entirety of the picture. The revolution was a bit more nuanced. It was not simply a step toward more freedom for all. In many circumstances the different interests came into to conflict with one another.…

This can be viewed through African –American literature two centuries ago and African –American literature today. The oppression of black women is a consistent theme throughout generations of African American literature.…

    Today the subject of slavery is taught in American schools as a tremendously important aspect of history. However, the topic is taught in the broadest sense, only expanding students’ knowledge as far as that slavery was, an inhumane method of free labor, abolished as a result of the Civil War, and is remembered today as the nation’s greatest shame. Olaudah Equiano, otherwise known as Gustavus Vassa’s, memoir The Interesting Narrative and Other Writings further expands readers’ knowledge on the topic of slavery, by describing the brutalities and adversities the author witnessed and experienced as a slave. What is unique about Equiano’s narrative is that because his account provides a personal view into the life of an actual African slave, his…

    New York Burning Summary

    In New York Burning, author Jill Lepore traces the history of the conspired slave rebellion, which transpired through “[a] series of fires in the winter of 1741.” As “panicked white colonists” began to fear “a slave uprising, [they] set off a cycle of arrests, accusations, hasty trials, executions and more arrests.” This was New York City in 1741 and the victims were predominantly slaves. Through the limited sources found on the slave conspiracy, Jill Lepore questions the validity of the writings found and takes a deeper look at the legislative and societal conditions between the slaves and their masters. By making use of excerpts from Jill Lepore’s New York Burning, I will discuss the contradiction of white colonists idea of liberty, versus their enslavement of thousands of African Americans and their justifications for it.…

    Disciplining Slave Ironworkers in the Antebellum South: Coercion, Conciliation, and Accommodation, by Charles B. Dew aims to present an analysis of the civility shared between slave owners and slaves in the iron industry. Dew focuses his analysis on the ironworks owned by William Weaver in the Valley of Virginia. By only using sources produced by slave owners and managers, Dew fails to thoroughly consider the perspectives of Weaver’s slaves and how his disciplinary and capitalist actions impacted them. Dew’s article presents a level of bias in his selective use of evidence.…

    The second chapter explores slavery and the transition from a mostly African-born slave to population, to a mostly American-born population, during the colonial period (late 1600s until about 1770). At the beginning of this time period, most slaves were imported and not born on American soil. After their forced immigration, these slaves underwent a process called ‘seasoning,’ or training, where they were “broken in” and made to realize that slavery would be their identity for the rest of their lives. As time went on,…

    Striving For Freedom: Abolitionist Movement Desiring supreme political and economic power, Europeans legalized the enslavement of people of African descent. Fueled in 1831, by the Nat Turner Rebellion in Virginia, the abolitionist movement demanded “the immediate emancipation of all slaves and the end of racial discrimination and segregation” (History Staff, 2009). As people of the African descent and European enthusiasts contracted together in Western Europe and the Americans, between the 1830s and 1870s, the abolitionism movement expanded. In this paper, I will stipulate a historical summary on the abolitionist movement through clarifying details on the political objectives, fundamental concepts, and honorable figures that contributed to…
