The slave's cause : a history of abolition / by Sinha, Manisha,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Received historical wisdom casts abolitionists as bourgeois, mostly white reformers burdened by racial paternalism and economic conservatism. Manisha Sinha overturns this image, broadening her scope beyond the antebellum period usually associated with abolitionism and recasting it as a radical social movement in which men and women, black and white, free and enslaved found common ground in causes ranging from feminism and utopian socialism to anti-imperialism and efforts to defend the rights of labor. Drawing on extensive archival research, including newly discovered letters and pamphlets, Sinha documents the influence of the Haitian Revolution and the centrality of slave resistance in shaping the ideology and tactics of abolition. This book is a comprehensive history of the abolition movement in a transnational context. It illustrates how the abolitionist vision ultimately linked the slave's cause to the struggle to redefine American democracy and human rights across the globe.".

Bloodlines of the Slave Trade. by Hancock, Markie,film director.; Video Project (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Video Project in 2023.Examines the lives of two people whose only connection is a genetic link to John Armfield, one of the most notorious slave traders of the 1830s. Rodney Williams, who is Black, and Susanna Grannis, who is white, each trace their ancestry back to their distant ancestor, detailing the diverging paths their lineages took. While their relationship to this past is fundamentally different, and they never meet in the film, they both share in the telling of the horrific domestic slave trade and the ongoing reverberations of slavery.The film also navigates the lesser known "second middle passage" referred to as the "domestic slave trade." Starting in Alexandria, VA, where two of the wealthiest and most infamous slave traders of the mid-19th century were headquartered, Williams journeys along the Natchez Trace where in all likelihood his ancestors walked before him. In Alexandria, John Armfield and Isaac Franklin would either ship or march the enslaved down south to Mississippi or Louisiana for both future sale and brutal work on southern plantations. These cruel transactions involved separation from family members, long and arduous journeys chained together in coffles, and even more brutal working conditions once sold off in Natchez or New Orleans. His path along the trail illuminates the mechanisms and realities of chattel slavery, and illustrates the vast accumulation of wealth created by enslaved people, but held by slaveowners and benefitting their descendants.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
