Abstract:

Slave flight in the antebellum South did not always coincide with the political geography of freedom. Indeed, spaces and places within the South attracted the largest number of fugitive slaves, especially southern cities, where runaway slaves attempted to pass for free blacks. Disguising themselves within the slaveholding states rather than risk long-distance flight attempts to formally free territories such as the northern us, Canada, and Mexico, fugitive slaves in southern cities attempted to escape slavery by crafting clandestine lives for themselves in what I am calling “informal” freedom—

Abstract:

The genre of the slave narrative is unique, and is essential to African-American culture. Yet, up to now, personally written stories describing the journey to freedom traveled by “heroic slaves”, writings that could well qualify as nonfiction, have received little attention outside of the US and UK. This makes all the more interesting the attempt by prominent Russian historian A. A.

Abstract:

AbstractFemale slaves in VOC-controlled Southeast Asia did not fare well under a legal code which erected a firm partition between free and slave status. This codification imposed a rigid dichotomy for what had been fluid, abstract conceptions of social hierarchy, in effect silting up the flow of underclass mobility. At the same time, conventional relationships between master and slave shifted in the context of a changing economic climate. This article closely narrates the lives of several eighteenth-century female slaves who, left with increasingly fewer options in this new order, resorted to

Abstract:

Runaway slave advertisements are a staple of African and African American Studies. For well over a century, they have provided scholars from many different disciplines a rich resource to examine slavery. In addition to recording slaves dogged determination to be free, their persistent efforts to preserve family ties, and their astute awareness of the politics of their day, advertisements for fugitive slaves include complex stories that reflect varied nuances of the past. It is those nuances that represent the focus of this article that explores bondage in colonial New England.

Abstract:

The early Qing regulations on fugitive slaves, which originated in pre-1644 Manchu society, aimed to stop banner slaves from escaping. Because very harsh punishments were imposed on both those who harbored fugitive slaves as well as the harborers’ neighbors (both of whom were mainly Han), these regulations led to many tragedies among the Han population and became a key site of Manchu-Han conflict during the Shunzhi and Kangxi reigns. Scholars have thus tended to see them as representative of Manchu alien rule. Unlike previous scholars’ perspectives that emphasize the early Qing rulers’ cruelty

Abstract Historically, French Guiana was an anomaly in the French Americas, neither a settler colony nor an economically successful slave-based plantation colony like its wealthy Antillean counterparts. Sporadically governed, underpopulated, and generally neglected by the metropole, it was considered a backwater of the French empire. However, by the first decades of the nineteenth century, the punishment of fugitive slaves had become fundamental to how the colony of French Guiana conceptualized itself.

Abstract:

In the antebellum period Richmond, Virginia newspapers ran advertisements for runaway slaves. Most of the ads concerned individuals absconded from outlying counties, distant regions of the state, or nearby states. These short notices have been used frequently to describe and discuss runaways and the link between flight and freedom in Virginia. In contrast to the brief newspaper entries the Daybook of the Richmond Police Guard, 1834--1844 provides names and detailed descriptions of nine hundred-thirty-five runaways all of whom lived in the city and were reported within the city precincts during

Conflicts that arose over fugitive slaves and the kidnapping of free African-Americans forced Philadelphians to confront the politics of slavery.

Abstract:

In the mid-1850s, Texas slaveholders estimated that some 4,000 fugitive slaves had escaped south to Mexico. This chapter broadly examines the process in which runaway slaves from Texas escaped to Mexico. Specifically, it explores how they learned about freedom south of the border, the types of supplies they gathered for their escape attempts, and the ways in which Texas’s vast landscape shaped their experiences. It argues that the routes that led fugitive slaves to freedom in Mexico were a part of a precarious southern Underground Railroad, but one that operated in the absence of formal networks or a well-organized abolitionist movement. The chapter centers on fugitive slaves’ efforts toward self-emancipation and navigate contested spaces of slavery and freedom with little assistance and under difficult conditions. It sheds new light on the history of runaway slaves by examining the ways in which American westward expansion and the U.S.-Mexico borderlands shaped the fugitive slave experience in the nineteenth century.

Abstract:

Abstract Among The Bitter Conflicts that divided North and South and led to war in 1861 were those associated with escaping slaves and Southern at- tempts to recapture them, which produced the Fugitive Slave Law in 1850. Resistance to capture by fugitives, sometimes aided by Northerners, fanned the flames of Southern anger. In their ordinances of secession, several Southern states cited Northern help to fugitives as one of the grievances that provoked them to leave the Union. The Fugitive Slave Law inspired Harriet Beecher Stowe to write Uncle Tom’s Cabin. The episode of Eliza escaping with her son across the Ohio River on ice floes to prevent his capture by slavecatchers is one of the most unforgettable images in American letters. And a real-life escaped slave became one of the most famous heroines in American history. Surveys of freshmen at the State University of New York in Buffalo who registered for the introductory U.S. history course in the 1970s and 1980s revealed that more of them knew of Harriet Tubman than of any other woman who lived before 1900 except Betsy Ross. Tubman also ranked higher on this recognition scale than Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, Patrick Henry, and a host of other prominent persons.

This essay reflects on how the author’s wide-ranging experiences in the Peruvian Andes and the Caribbean shaped both her indirect path to the academy and her research interests. Her own and her family’s migrations throughout the twentieth century, coupled with the current world refugee crisis, have especially influenced her historical perspective on her current project. As she traces the routes and experiences of runaway Caribbean slaves who crossed political borders in search of freedom, she has come to see fugitive slaves as belonging to a wider story of refugees and asylum seekers throughout human history—one in which women have played a central and often under-recognized role.

Abstract:

Abstract Antietam was the victory Lincoln had waited for, and on September 22, 1862, in keeping with the secret pledge he had made to his cabinet, he promulgated his preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. The document reiterated the standing offer to loyal slaveholders: if they undertook their own voluntary measures to gradually dismantle slavery, Lincoln would urge Congress to provide them with pecuniary compensation for their lost property and federal aid for colonization of the freedpeople. It reprised the major provisions of the Second Confiscation Act, underscoring that U.S. military forces would no more act as slave catchers: all slaves of rebels who came to Union lines or under Union occupation would be “deemed captives of war... forever free of their servitude and not again held as slaves.” But Lincoln’s edict also went beyond the earlier colonization proposals and Confiscation Acts. Levied under his presidential war powers, the preliminary proclamation was a warning: as of January 1, 1863, Lincoln told disloyal Southerners, “all persons held as slaves within any state, or designated part of a state, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.” Implicitly acknowledging both the self-emancipation of fugitive slaves and the army’s role as the beacon for flight, the proclamation promised that the federal government and military would “recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons” and “not repress... any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.”

Abstract:

Scholars have long suggested that nineteenth-century runaway slaves turned the U.S.-Mexico border into a line of freedom. However, as this chapter argues, such an interpretation of the border is somewhat problematic. A closer examination of the history of northern Tamaulipas explains why. From 1820 onward, African Americans began to arrive to that region in search of freedom and a changed racial milieu, but this process was deeply fraught. U.S. American jurisprudence could continue to affect Mexican space formally and informally from the outside, greatly troubling Mexican sovereignty and its foreign relations in the process. Hence, the freedom found by African Americans in Mexico—guaranteed by Mexican law—was never particularly secure in practice. This chapter builds upon the previous chapter and provides an in-depth analysis of a specific case study of fugitive slaves’ struggles for freedom in the Texas-Mexico borderlands.

Abstract:

Abstract The little-known history of the black antebellum press is now coming to light with the publication of manuscripts, correspondence, and speeches from those editors and fugitives who make up the opposite side of the “great editors” story. Samuel Ringgold Ward, the second son of slave parents who escaped the South in 1820, founded the True American in 1847, and two years later, the Impartial Citizen in Syracuse, New York. He was a Congregationalist minister and popular speaker for the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society when he joined a plot in 1851 to rescue a fugitive slave from the custody of federal officers. That foiled attempt to obstruct formal justice led to his own flight to Canada, where he published the Provincial Freeman, and he later toured England raising funds for the abolitionist cause. In Canada in 1851, Ward urged readers of Henry Bibb’s Voice of the Fugitive to a “universal agitation, by the press and the tongue, in church and at the polls” to “rid our beloved adopted country of this infernal curse,” slavery.

Abstract:

Using contemporary artwork as a lens onto the textual visuality of 19<sup>th</sup>-century slave narratives, this introduction to Fugitive Testimony works backwards historically to excavate ex-slave narrators’ challenge to authenticating conventions, and therefore their challenge to the assumptions motivating racial classification itself. The introduction argues that the book’s unique focus on the recursive nature of the slave narrative form unifies what have been three distinct phases of the genre’s criticism within the academy—historical, literary, and cultural studies approaches—and contributes to the historiographical contours of Atlantic studies. Drawing on literary analysis, art history, and visual and performance theory, the book connects vital early literary critical accounts of the slave narrative that examine the genre’s conventions of authentication and issues of literacy with later cultural studies approaches, including those advanced by Lindon Barrett, Saidiya Hartman, Fred Moten, Daphne Brooks, and Michael Chaney.
