Slavery
THE GREAT ISSUE NOW BEFORE THE PEOPLE WITH REMARKS UPON ITS MERITS AND CLAIMS UPON THE SERIOUS CONSIDERATION OF THE WELL-WISHERS OF OUR COUNTRY
Philadelphia 1856. 24pp disbound three small binding holes in blank left margin. Two early signatures of Wm. Thompson Shafer on title page. Light spotting throughout. About Good. <br/><br/> This scarce pamphlet says the "great issue" is whether "Slavery shall be allowed to overspread a territory of greater extent than that of the whole United States" and "whether the policy of our government is to continue to be that of Slavery Extension or Slavery Restriction." All the power of the presidency is "being used to force the withering and blighting scourge of Slavery upon the National domain." Pursuing this tyrannical course our government "shall lend its aid in striking a deathblow to the freedom of speech the liberty of the press and the security for life personal liberty possession and peace." <br/>LCP 4300.

Slavery
The life of an African slave in eighteenth century Connecticut contained in a ledger apparently kept by one David Mack Jr.
The sparse ledger entries date from 1817 to the mid-1850s. Although they are not without interest they are routine along the lines of '4 bushels of apples 6 yards of cloth'. However the many blank spaces remaining have been put to much better use. Most of the large volume 405 � 165 mm 176 pages in original worn quarter roan and marbled papered boards has been used as a daily diary interspersed with lengthy reminiscences. Mack we presume commenced his diary in January 1869 and the last entry is dated 18 May 1877. He records a few pages earlier on 22 August 1876 that it was his 84th birthday. His 'Reminiscences of an Old Man' include a section on 'Peter the Slave'. Mack write that 'When I was a boy some 70 years ago I remember an old blind negro who lived in a family within a hundred rods of my father's house. He was then supposed to be nearly one 100 sic years old. No one knew his age he did not know it himself. He was kidnapped or stolen from Africa when he was a small boy supposed to be about seven and as he said the grandson of an African Chief. Being out one day to play with other boys on the sea shore he was seized by a band of kidnappers carried on board their ship brought to Hartford and sold as a slave. Slavery at that time was tolerated in all the States'. Peter must have been kidnapped in the first decade of the eighteenth century. hardcover

New York: American Anti-Slavery Society 1855. 36pp. Gathered signatures stitched as issued. Minor edge wear spotting and soiling. Very good. The scarce second edition of this anti- slavery pamphlet printed in New York by the American Anti-Slavery Society from the same "stereotype plates.without alteration" as the first edition printed in Hartford earlier the same year. The text focuses on an appeal to the American Tract Society to take a more vocal and concerted stand against slavery. The authors of the text accuse the American Tract Society of "suppression" of anti- slavery sentiment by censorship of certain works it publishes that speak against the institution and an overall sin of "studied and persistent ommission" by not itself issuing "a direct condemnation of the most giant iniquity of our land." The text is signed in print at the conclusion by "The Members of the Fourth Congregational Church Hartford Conn." The work was issued as the sixteenth entry in the American Anti-Slavery Society's "Anti-Slavery Tracts." SABIN 30676. American Anti-Slavery Society unknown books

Unusual Oyster Bay NY Slave Manumission
<p>Samuel Young and Zebulon Frost "<i>Overseers of the Poor of Oysterbay</i>" certify that a slave named Lizzie is freed.</p> <b>SLAVERY.</b>Manuscript Document Signed. New York N.Y. May 21 1813. 1 p. 8 x 9½ in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Transcript</b></p><p><i>"We the Subscribers Overseers of the Poor of the Town of Oysterbay in Queens County in Nassau Island in the State of New York Do hereby certify That in Pursuance of the Act of the Legislature of the State of New York in such Case made and provided we have this Day at the Request of Samuel Jones of the said Town Esquire examined a certain Negro Woman named Lyze or Liba but usually called Lizzie owned as a Slave by the said Samuel Jones; and that the same Slave appears to be under the age of fifty years and of sufficient ability to provide for herself. We therefore allow the said Slave to be free. Given under our Hands this twenty first Day of May in the Year of our Lord one thousand Eight hundred and thirteen."</i></p><p><b>Endorsements</b></p><p>With endorsement of the town clerk Jacobus Monfoort.</p><p><b>Historic Background</b></p><p>In 1785 the New York Assembly began considering ways to abolish slavery. Some representatives including Aaron Burr favored immediate emancipation while another faction supported gradual emancipation. After failing in the 1780s largely over disagreements regarding free black voting rights the New York Legislature passed <i>An Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery</i>in 1799 with no conditions on voting rights. The act provided freedom for children born to slave mothers after July 4 1799. Males were freed at age 28; females at age 25. Slave owners could continue to exploit a slave's most productive years well into the nineteenth century. Moreover kidnappings and illegal trading allowed New York owners to dispense with their human property even after the law took effect.</p><p>Samuel Jones was a member from Queens County of the New York State Assembly from 1786 to 1790. He was elected a delegate to the Continental Congress in 1788 and on February 17 1797 the office of New York State Comptroller was created by the New York State Legislature to succeed the State Auditor. On March 15 of that year Jones was appointed by the Council of Appointment the first holder of the office serving until 1800. Great Jones Street in New York City's NoHo district is of his namesake.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Fine usual folds as expected.</p>

SLAVERY CRESSON Elliott 1796 1854
Autograph letter signed to Member of Parliament Benjamin Hawes sending him the proposed resolution to establish the British African Colonization Society and on William Lloyd Garrison's opposition to the colonization movement
England 1833. 3pp. Scarce letter on the Liberian colonization movement by one of its founders.<br/> <br/>The letter begins with the 2-page text of a resolution to establish the British African Colonization Society: " . that Colonies composed of fare settlers of African race established on judicious principles on the Coast of Africa appear calculated beyond any other plan to put an effectual stop to the slave trade . Resolved that a Society be formed to be called the British African Colonization Society and that is objects be to cooperate with the American Colonization Society and with the several missionaries and other religious and charitable societies in Great Britain and the United States of America in such measures as may promote the total abolition of the slave trade and the establishment of Christianity and Civilization among the Natives of Africa chiefly by the employment of Free Persons of African birth or descent." The proposed Society was to be established under the patronage of the Duke of Sussex. In the letter which follows Cresson writes of William Lloyd Garrison's opposition to the colonization movement: " . I send the list of officers as far as accepted several others have not yet answered but I trust we shall present a bold front. I have just heard thro his Chaplain from the Duke. Garrison has written to poison his mind and probably will annoy our meeting. I trust that as the notice has been so short our friends will bring many with them . My letter to the Times in answer to Garrison they have not yet noticed so that it will be put in the Globe whose Editor has offered it a place in his columns." Cresson a noted Philadelphia businessman and philanthropist was among the most ardent supports of colonization the movement to relocate former slaves and free African Americans to colonies in Liberia. In 1832 he travelled to England to promote international support for the movement. The following year Cresson and the Philadelphia Young Men's Colonization Society a branch of the American Colonization Society founded Port Cresson in Liberia. However the colony was attacked in 1835 by Bassa tribesmen incited by Spanish slave traders and destroyed. Although initially in favor of colonization William Lloyd Garrison would change his mind decrying the efforts of the American Colonization Society as a perpetuation of slavery.

SLAVERY CRESSON Elliott 1796 1854
Autograph letter signed to Member of Parliament Benjamin Hawes concerning the Spanish slave market in Sierra Leone and the colony at Liberia
Philadelphia 1834. 3pp. Later annotation at head of first page. Scarce letter on the Liberian colonization movement by one of its founders.<br/> <br/>Writing to Hawes a member of Parliament and a committee member of the Society for the Extinction of the Slave Trade Cresson wishes for success in the British anti-slavery action off the coast of Sierra Leone writing "I hope that you may yet enjoy the satisfaction of crushing one of the worst & most unacceptable of the slave markets in existence that at Gallinas." After mentioning the travels of the colonial governor of Liberia he writes: ". I have been gratified to learn from several highly respectable sources that such a Colony as you propose located either at the mouth of the Cape Mount River or even a little more to the Northward say at Sugaree & provided with a good supply of trade goods to exchange with the natives would have a powerful tendency to break up the monopoly now enjoyed by the Spanish Slavers. My letters from Africa state that the demand is so great in Cuba from the ravages of Cholera among their ill-fed human cattle as to have rendered the shipments from the Gallinas during the past year almost unprecedented. It appears that the benevolent efforts of your Govt. are not likely to extirpate the evil until commercial & agricultural colonies shall be substituted for cruisers." The letter continues with news from their consul at Liberia before turning to American politics: ". political affairs engrossing the entire energies of the nation. The excitement is painfully great . Our military chieftan Jackson by his acts of unauthorized assumption has called forth a burst of indignation which cannot subside until we get rid of the offender." The letter concludes with an introduction for Gerard Ralston. Cresson a noted Philadelphia businessman and philanthropist was among the most ardent supports of colonization the movement to relocate former slaves and free African Americans to colonies in Liberia. In 1833 Cresson and the Philadelphia Young Men's Colonization Society a branch of the American Colonization Society founded Port Cresson in Liberia.

Slavery Child Marriages in India
Groundbreaking Act Slaves Girls from Child Marriages in India 1929
This rare pamphlet "Act No. XIX of 1929 Passed by the Indian Legislature.An Act to Restrain the Solemnisation of Child Marriages" was a critical step in protecting girls. No other copies in OCLC Worldcat<br/><br/>Child marriage was historically prevalent in India where the International Center for Research on Women reported that 47% of Indian weddings in the early 20th century involved brides under the age of 18. Poverty was a driving factor in child marriage as families in financial straits could improve their economic standing by marrying their daughters to wealthier older men. Yet as other countries began making improvements for women and girls India too recognized the dangers inherent to girls' health and well-being when they were married and became mothers while still in their own childhoods. This pamphlet which is the only known copy according to OCLC Worldcat details the "punishment for male adult below twenty one years of age marrying a child punishment for male adults over twenty one years of age marrying a child and punishment for solemnizing a child marriage." While child marriage does persist in India its rates have gone down and modern India has joined the South Asian Initiative to End Violence Against Children SAIEVAC which adopted a regional action plan to enforce the marriage bans and end child marriage in and beyond its own borders. unknown books

SLAVERY & ABOLITION DUFFIELD George
A Sermon on American Slavery: Its Nature and the Duties of Christians in Relation to It
Detroit: J.S. and S.A. Bagg 1840. First Edition. Paperback. Uncommon Michigan abolitionist pamphlet the movement never fully reaching maturation in the state until the eve of the Civil War. The text combines two anti-slavery sermons delivered at the First Presbyterian Church in Detroit the latter sermon stating that "there is nothing in the Jewish code that can even be compared with American slavery; and consequently it is.a perversion of the sacred scriptures" p. 23. Despite this Duffield only ventures so far simply arguing that "The southern States can if they choose as others have done emancipate their slaves on their own soil without subjecting them to the necessity of escaping to the free States to become as is often the case a wretched and corrupt race" p. 28.

Slavery and Abolition Smith Gerrit
Letter to William H. Seward March 13 1855
Peterboro: Self-Published 1855. First Edition. Single sheet folded 10 x 10 inches. Very Good. One of several public letters by Smith to Seward this one discussing the Fugitive Slave Law. Smith by the mid-1850s had grown increasingly frustrated by the abolitionist movement's willingness to compromise. Seward an early figure in the Republican party sought more gradual measures. Smith writes: "Instead of interpreting constitutions and statutes in the light of human rights you interpret human rights in the light of constitutions and statutes. I own that you stand as an antislavery man very far above most of our statesmen. but I would have you stand farther above them." Smith's growing impatience with the compromising nature of the abolitionist movement would later lead him to support the efforts of John Brown and the free-state movement in Kansas. "When most Liberty party leaders agreed to merge with more moderate antislavery factions to form the Free Soil party in 1848 Smith balked at what he regarded as abandonment of the abolitionist commitment to immediate emancipation." - ANB. A very good copy with a light stain to margin else near fine. Six copies in OCLC. Self-Published unknown

Slavery and Abolition.
The Modern Democratic Creed! Letter of John Brodhead Democratic Candidate for City Treasurer…
Letterpress broadside 18 7/8" x 11 3/4" bold black type for highlighted words. Paper evenly toned some wrinkling considerable archival conservation and restoration with archival paper repair; despite the imperfections it is still a decent copy with a nice impression. This appears to fall into the political dirty tricks department in an election between John Brodhead and Henry Bumm for city treasurer in Philadelphia. The broadside is supposed to highlight a letter from John Brodhead to Jefferson Davis in 1860. It has strong racist overtones as Brodhead supposedly requests a position in Nicaragua so he can "help open it up to civilization and Niggers." He goes on to state he is "tired of being a white slave at the North and long for a home in the sunny South." These kinds of political tricks were not uncommon during the Civil War period perhaps that's still true today and the racist overtones would certainly not help one's chances in a Northern election.
