Tells the story of one state in particular whose role in the slave trade was outsized: Rhode Island Historians have written expansively about the slave economy and its vital role in early American economic life. Like their northern neighbors, Rhode Islanders bought and sold slaves and supplies that sustained plantations throughout the Americas; however, nowhere else was this business so important. During the colonial period trade with West Indian planters provided Rhode Islanders with molasses, the key ingredient for their number one export: rum. More than 60 percent of all the slave ships that left North America left from Rhode Island. During the antebellum period Rhode Islanders were the leading producers of “negro cloth,” a coarse wool-cotton material made especially for enslaved blacks in the American South. Clark-Pujara draws on the documents of the state, the business, organizational, and personal records of their enslavers, and the few first-hand accounts left by enslaved and free black Rhode Islanders to reconstruct their lived experiences. The business of slavery encouraged slaveholding, slowed emancipation and led to circumscribed black freedom. Enslaved and free black people pushed back against their bondage and the restrictions placed on their freedom. It is convenient, especially for northerners, to think of slavery as southern institution. The erasure or marginalization of the northern black experience and the centrality of the business of slavery to the northern economy allows for a dangerous fiction—that North has no history of racism to overcome. But we cannot afford such a delusion if we are to truly reconcile with our past.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IX THE SOUTH COUNTY. 1758-1787 THE name of King's County was changed to Washington during the Revolution, but it has generally been known by the familiar term we have given it. The characteristics of the region changed as slavery went out. As the estates lessened, the patrician owners were succeeded by farmers employing fewer laborers, and their habits were more in accord with other parts of the colony and state. We must take up and describe Rowland Robinson,1 for the story of his daughter, the "Unfortunate Hannah." He was a type of the old landholders, "constitutionally irritable, rash and unyielding" by one account. In Mr. Isaac P. Hazard's 2 rose-colored glass, he was " a noble, generous-spirited man by nature, passionate, but not vindictive." All agree that the daughter was "the most perfect model of beauty." She was known in Philadelphia and throughout the colonies. One of her suitors, Dr. William Bowen, was most enthusiastic in his description. "Her figure was graceful and dignified, her complexion fair and beautiful and her manner urbane and captivating; that she rode with ease and elegance." Doctor Bowen proffered his affection, but the beauty was already engaged. The refusal came with "such suavity and tenderness, united with personal respect," that the disappointed suitor was consoled. The favored swain was Peter Simons, of Newport, who was a music-master at the dancing school, where they met. Notwithstanding the most violent opposition from Mr. Robinson, they eloped and were married about 1760 in Providence, where they settled, living in very poor circumstances. The neglect and dissipation of the husband, and possibly the uneasy conscience of the bride, made her ill. She was assisted by her mother, who finally...

The story of the indigenous people in what would become Rhode Island, their encounters with Europeans, and their return to sovereignty in the twentieth century. Before Roger Williams set foot in the New World, the Narragansett farmed corn and squash, hunted beaver and deer, and harvested clams and oysters throughout what would become Rhode Island. They also obtained wealth in the form of wampum, a carved shell that was used as currency along the eastern coast. As tensions with the English rose, the Narragansett leaders fought to maintain autonomy. While the elder Sachem Canonicus lived long enough to welcome both Verrazzano and Williams, his nephew Miatonomo was executed for his attempts to preserve their way of life and circumvent English control. Historian Robert A. Geake explores the captivating story of these Native Rhode Islanders.

The smallest state to defend the Union and one far from the battlefront, Rhode Island's stories of the Civil War are often overlooked. From Brown University's John M. Hay, later to become Lincoln's assistant secretary, to the city of Newport's role as the temporary headquarters for the U.S. Naval Academy, the Civil War history of the Ocean State is a fascinating if little-known tale. Few know that John Wilkes Booth visited Newport to meet his supposed fiancee just nine days before he assassinated President Lincoln. The state also contributed several high-ranking officers to the Union effort and, more surprisingly, two prominent officers to the Confederacy. Remarkably, Kady Southwell Brownell also openly served as a soldier in a Rhode Island infantry regiment. Join author Frank L. Grzyb as he investigates Rhode Island's rich Civil War history and unearths century-old stories that have since faded into obscurity.
