Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Negro in Pennsylvania: Slavery-Servitude-Freedom, 1639-1861 This work was undertaken for the purpose of obtaining exact information about the status of the negro in some section of the United States. Pennsylvania was chosen because of the great store of material available for such a study. An attempt has been made to give a complete account of the legal, social, and economic history of the Pennsylvania negro in his rise from slavery to freedom. The study ends with 1861. Among the more important things revealed by the investigation are the following: (1) Slavery in Pennsylvania, as regards its legal origin, was probably a divergence from servitude. (2) This slavery was a development - very different at different times. (3) As a race movement the rise of the negro from one status to another was gradual - he passed from slavery through intermediate stages of servitude to freedom. (4) The gradual rise continued after he became free, for he was not yet upon a plane of equality with the white man. There was civil inequality until 1780; political inferiority until 1870. (5) Under favorable conditions the social and economic improvement of the negro was considerable. (6) A strong race prejudice developed among the white people after most of the negroes were free. (7) The suffrage was never granted to the negroes in Pennsylvania before the Civil War. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
