It explores also the counterdefensive strategies employed by the slaves to resist control-among them, arson, theft, poison, subterfuge, murder, escape, and rebellion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNorrece Jones, himself a descendent of South Carolina slaves, has written a powerful book based on intensive research in the archives of antebellum South Carolina. He has studied slave testimony, legal records, folklore, spirituals, autobiographies of whites and blacks, newspaper accounts, church records, and many other sources. He challenges views of slavery as an interdependent paternalistic system; he sees it instead as a harsh and unceasing conflict, with most slaves refusing to accept their masters' dictates and most slave owners struggling to keep slaves servile and devoted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeans of control were both subtle and brutal. For example, there were festive holidays and gifts of liquor but also sadistic punishment: recalcitrant slaves-men and women alike- were staked to the ground or trussed from rafters with \"nigger cord\" to be whipped; some were branded; others were hanged or torched. Many of the same masters who provided a sick room for slaves also maintained a private jail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut of all the means of control, the most sinister and the most effective was the threat of sale and separation from family. Troublemakers were routinely sold. The weak, the sick, the malingering, the disobedient, the impudent, the \"incorrigible\" were disposed of on the block. Slaves often aided and abetted runaways, although some, in hope of favor, were informants-every antebellum conspiracy in South Carolina was betrayed. Yet self-respect and pride survived nonetheless. \"You no holy,\" slaves told one mistress, \"We holy.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wesleyan University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52665708085615,"sku":"9780819562463","price":220.97,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0819562467.jpg?v=1770909962"},{"product_id":"subversives","title":"Subversives","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"An excellent study of the antislavery struggle in the streets and black alleys of Washington, D.C. The book is exceptionally well constructed. The argument is clear and easy to follow.\"-American Historical Review\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile many scholars have examined the slavery disputes in the halls of Congress, Subversives is the first history of practical abolitionism in the streets, homes, and places of business of the nation's capital. Historian Stanley Harrold looks beyond resolutions, platforms, and debates to describe how desperate African Americans - both free and slave - and sympathetic whites engaged in a dangerous day-to-day campaign to drive the \"peculiar institution\" out of Washington, D.C., and the Chesapeake region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat slavery was both vulnerable and vicious in Washington is at the heart of Harrold's study. Northern and foreign visitors were outraged by its existence in the seat of American government. For the South, Washington was a vital stronghold at the section's border. As economic changes caused slavery's decline in the Chesapeake and masters dismembered slave families by selling them South, local African Americans sought and received the support of a small number of whites eager to strike a blow against slavery in a strategic and very symbolic setting. Together they formed a subversive community that flourished in and about the city from the late 1820s through the mid-1860s. Risking beatings, mob violence, imprisonment, and death, these men and women distributed abolitionist literature, purchased the freedom of slaves, sued to prevent families from being separated, and aided escape efforts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarrold overcomes the secrecy inherent in Washington's antislavery community to document its formation and activities with remarkable detail and perception. He shows how slaveholders and their sympathizers fought to reinforce their hold on a system under attack and how the dissidents raised a radical challenge to the existing social order simply by engaging in interracia\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Longleaf Services on behalf of LSU Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52665718669679,"sku":"9780807128381","price":237.44,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0807128384.jpg?v=1770910531"},{"product_id":"from-calabar-to-carters-grove","title":"From Calabar to Carter's Grove","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe history of a Virginia slave community\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Virginia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52691508167023,"sku":"9780813920405","price":245.93,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/081392040X.jpg?v=1771540014"}],"url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/collections\/escravidao-e-pos-emancipacao.oembed","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
