Book Description
Excerpt from An Historical Sketch of Groton, Massachusetts: 1655-1890 The following pages were written originally for a "History of Middlesex County," Published in Philadelphia four years ago; and a few copies were then separately struck off. They were intended merely as a sketch of the town, and not as a full or formal history. In justice to the writer this statement seems to be necessary, as the annals of Groton, so rich in material, and covering so long a period of time, are the treated in a very scanty way. Through some misunderstanding the work was not divided into Chapters, as had been the intention of the author, who had no opportunity to see the revised proofs. With the exception of the notice of Major Palmer, the brief biographies at the end of the book were not written by the author of this Historical Sketch. Luther Blood, a notice of whom there appears, died on September 22, 1893. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Making Slavery History
Author: Margot Minardi
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199702209
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Making Slavery History focuses on how commemorative practices and historical arguments about the American Revolution set the course for antislavery politics in the nineteenth century. The particular setting is a time and place in which people were hyperconscious of their roles as historical actors and narrators: Massachusetts in the period between the Revolution and the Civil War. This book shows how local abolitionists, both black and white, drew on their state's Revolutionary heritage to mobilize public opposition to Southern slavery. When it came to securing the citizenship of free people of color within the Commonwealth, though, black and white abolitionists diverged in terms of how they idealized black historical agency. Although it is often claimed that slavery in New England is a history long concealed, Making Slavery History finds it hidden in plain sight. From memories of Phillis Wheatley and Crispus Attucks to representations of black men at the Battle of Bunker Hill, evidence of the local history of slavery cropped up repeatedly in early national Massachusetts. In fixing attention on these seemingly marginal presences, this book demonstrates that slavery was unavoidably entangled in the commemorative culture of the early republic-even in a place that touted itself as the "cradle of liberty." Transcending the particular contexts of Massachusetts and the early American republic, this book is centrally concerned with the relationship between two ways of making history, through social and political transformation on the one hand and through commemoration, narration, and representation on the other. Making Slavery History examines the relationships between memory and social change, between histories of slavery and dreams of freedom, and between the stories we tell ourselves about who we have been and the possibilities we perceive for who we might become.
