Abstract:
Insurance on slaves, a financial spin-off effect of the slave trade, is not yet completely understood. This article investigates the development of the conditions of this kind of insurance in the Dutch Republic, Europe’s most important insurance sector before 1780. By analyzing various historical insurance documents from the period 1720–1780, it reveals that slave life insurance conditions became increasingly specific and standardized due to developments in general marine insurance and insurance debates on bloodily oppressed slave insurrections. This article shows how enslaved Africans indirectly influenced the insurance conditions by protesting, while insurers might have financially motivated the murder of enslaved Africans who attempted to escape. These findings provide insights into how Dutch insurers dealt with insuring humans with agency as commodities without agency and how slavery and the financial world in the eighteenth century were connected.

Abstract:
Abstract This article presents, troubles, and ultimately seeks to answer two simple questions: What does the digitization of slave resistance look like, and can it serve as a virtual memorial commemorating historic events where markers are lacking in geographic places, such as locations where slave revolts occurred? In four main parts, this article presents an example of digital commemoration of slave resistance in a now defunct online list of shipboard rebellions; it then contrasts this digital resource to material monuments to slave revolt leaders and to diverse types of museum displays (as at the International Museum of Slavery at Liverpool); the next section profiles online resources about slave revolt, including Vincent Brown’s animated map of slave insurrections in Jamaica and repositories, archives, and databases of newspaper advertisements for runaways, arguing that these resources can sometimes be understood not merely as educational tools but also as digital commemorations of slave revolt. Finally, engaging with theory on monuments, memory, and history, this piece explains why digital commemorations existing in virtual space might productively acknowledge our discomfort with the existent archive and the insurmountable gaps in our knowledge of history.

Abstract:
AbstractBy investigating the place of enslaved Africans and their descendants in the cities of the Atlantic world, this article explores many of the themes of this Special Issue across empires, with an emphasis on the Americas in the late eighteenth century, the eve of abolition. The article finds that, in nearly every manual occupation, slaves were integrated with free laborers and, not infrequently, slaves who had reached the level of journeyman or master directed the work of free apprentices. The limited number of slave insurrections in cities may be explained by the fact that they often worked semi-independently, earning money to supplement the livelihood provided by the master, or sometimes almost entirely on their own. To them, city life offered advantages that would have been inconceivable for their rural counterparts, especially the scope of autonomy they enjoyed and the possibilities to secure manumission.

Full text
Abstract:
In mid-November, 1775, Lord Dunmore last Royal Governor of Virginia attempted to enlist the support of rebel owned slaves to crush Patriot resistance to Great Britain. This study examines the slaveholders' response to Dunmore's actions. Virginia's slaveholders fought a counter-revolution in order to maintain traditional race relations in the colony. Patriot propaganda portrayed Dunmore as a race traitor, who became symbolically more "black" than white. Slaveholders characterized Dunmore as a rebel, a madman, and a sexual deviant - stereotypes normally given to slaves by their "masters." Since Dunmore threatened to destroy the defining institution of slavery, planters sought to salvage their identities by defending the paternalistic philosophy and racist assumptions upon which slave society was based. Planters overwhelmingly became Patriots to protect slavery.

Plath, Lydia. "Performances of honour : manhood and violence in the Mississippi slave insurrection scare of 1835." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2009. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/2789/.

Full text
Abstract:
In early July, 1835, rumours of a slave insurrection swept central Mississippi. Deviant white men, with bad characters and dishonourable motives, were—or so the residents of the small towns along the Big Black River in Madison County believed—plotting to incite the slaves to rebellion so that during the resulting panic they could rob the banks and plunder the cities. These rumours were entirely unfounded, but within a few weeks, groups of white citizens calling themselves ‘committees of safety’ had examined and tortured an unknown number of men (both white and black) whom they thought to be involved in the conspiracy, and by the end of July about a dozen white men and around twenty or thirty slaves had been put to death in Mississippi. As a moment during which white men not only articulated their notion of what it meant to be a ‘man,’ but also demonstrated and violently enforced it, the insurrection scare is an opening, a window, into the lives of men in the antebellum South. Through this window, we can see how Southern white men conceived of their identity as white men and constructed a notion of manhood—one of honour—to which all white men, regardless of class, could aspire. While Northerners emphasised restraint, and inner feelings of honour, Southern manhood was defined almost entirely by public display. Honour had to be performed. Further, because all white men could attempt to give a performance of honour, there existed in the South a sense of equality amongst all white men—a herrenvolk democracy—despite the vast differences in wealth and status that existed. African Americans, on the other hand, could make no claims to honour in the eyes of white men because to have honour was to have power.

Full text
Abstract:
Unlawful assembly accounts extracted from the Fredericksburg Mayor’s Court Order Books from 1821-1834, reveal rare glimpses of unsupervised, alleged illegal interactions between free and enslaved individuals, many of whom do not appear in other records. Authorities enforced laws banning free blacks and persons of mixed race from interacting with enslaved persons and whites at unlawful assemblies to keep peace in the town, to prevent sexual relationships between white women and free and enslaved black men, and to prevent alliance building between individuals. The complex connections necessary to arrange unlawful assemblies threatened the town’s safety with insurrection if these individuals developed radical ideas opposing the existing social order, the foundation of which was slavery. Akin to residents of areas where natural disasters like volcanoes always pose a risk of dangerous eruptions, those living in Fredericksburg lived their lives within the town slave society and its potential threats. In an area, state, and region where insurrections occurred, unlawful assembly, whether frequent or infrequent, mattered.

Abstract:
Abstract The origins of the Afro-Baptist church lie in the antebellum South. For the sake of clear analysis, the history of this church is best seen as developing in three stages before the Civil War. The first stage begins with the European colonization of North America in the seventeenth century and ends approximately in 1750, two decades before the American Revolutionary War. The second stage begins in the mid-eighteenth century as the first waves of the Great Awakening revival reached the American colonies. The last stage begins in the second decade of the nineteenth century, after the winding down of the Second Awakening revivals, when the ominous threats of slave insurrections convinced many planters to convert their chattel en masse. This last stage concludes with the South’s military defeat by the Union army and the freeing of black bondsmen after the Civil War.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter introduces the book’s larger arguments by drawing on the final grievance in the Declaration of Independence. The grievance charged that George III had provoked slave insurrections and Indian attacks on colonists and thus become a tyrant. But this grievance drew on long-standing British ideas about liberty and exclusion, not new American ones. This book gives an account of the British and imperial origins of the American patriots’ ideas about exclusion via an extended comparative history of Ireland, Scotland, and North America—and, in particular, of the Gaelic and Indian peoples who lived in those places. Rather than looking forward from the last grievance into an American future, the book looks back and around from that vantage point: back into the hundred preceding years of British history and around to other places in the British world tackling similar questions in different ways than the American revolutionaries did.

Abstract:
Abstract In order to refute the old canard that American slaves were content with their lot, historians have carefully attended all evidence of an insurrectionary spirit among the bondsmen and women. The one time in American history when slaves killed a substantial number of whites-the Nat Turner insurrection of 1831, when about fifty-five whites perished-has been studied in loving detail, and has even produced a well-known historical novel. A few facts have been recovered about the only other sizeable nineteenth-century insurrection (near New Orleans in 1811). The stories of two abortive nineteenth-century conspiracies (at Richmond, Virginia, in 1800 and Charleston, South Carolina, in 1822) have been endlessly rehearsed, and the only important eighteenth-century rebellions (at New York City in 1712 and Stono, South Carolina, in 1739) are also well known. Insurrection panics swept nineteenth-century Southern white communities from time to time, and Southern demagogues surely extracted every possible drop of electoral advantage from stirring the deep pool of latent white anxiety.

Abstract:
Mesmerism first arrived in the northern hemisphere through Haiti, and the link between mesmerism and slave insurrection that Douglass and Stowe revive before the Civil War is part of the fugitive archive of modernity. Because mesmerism is important to the early history of psychoanalysis, its affiliation with insurrection widens the psychic horizon to include the crisis triggered by the “impossible demands” of emancipation. Recognition of that enduring sense of crisis unites the work of Douglass, Stowe, and Du Bois and opens to view the environmental power shaping early trauma theory. Hegel believed that the transmission of affect at the center of the mesmeric crisis could supersede normal channels of communication while Douglass and Stowe found such relays alternately promising and threatening for democratic practice. Significantly, the temporal dimensions of Mesmer’s crisis state allowed for an extended recalibration of the ongoing moment, or “the future in the present.”

Abstract:
Abstract The struggle over free trade revealed the competition of colonial pressure groups and shed light on imperial revolutionary politics. The free-trade debate could not be disentangled from Saint-Domingue’s racial context. Under these circumstances, the colonial and revolutionary politics of the early 1790s were at odds with the philosophical standpoints of all the actors involved. The chapter looks at the bitter debates between and among French revolutionaries, merchants, Saint-Domingue colonists, mixed-race planters, and other interest groups over the exclusif (colonial monopoly), the rights of free people of color, and the relationship between colonies and metropole. The eruption of the largest slave insurrection in history and the creation of the republic raised the stakes of the controversy.

Abstract What elasticity, what historical initiative, what a capacity for sacrifice in these Parisians! After six months of hunger and ruin, caused rather by internal treachery than by the external enemy, they rise, beneath Prussian bayonets … History has no example of a like greatness. If they are defeated, only their ‘good nature’ will be to blame. They should have marched on Versailles … The right moment was missed because of conscientious scruples … the present rising in Paris-even if it is crushed by the wolves, swine and vile curs of the old societyis the most glorious deed of our Party since the June insurrection in Paris.
