1800s
9. Slavery Without Submission, Emancipation Without Freedom
The United States government's support of slavery was based on an overpowering practicality. In
1790, a thousand tons of cotton were being produced every year in the South. By 1860, it was a
million tons. In the same period, 500,000 slaves grew to 4 million. A system harried by slave
rebellions and conspiracies (Gabriel Prosser, 1800; Denmark Vesey, 1822; Nat Turner, 1831)
7. As Long As Grass Grows Or Water Runs
If women, of all the subordinate groups in a society dominated by rich white males, were closest to
home (indeed, in the home), the most interior, then the Indians were the most foreign, the most
exterior. Women, because they were so near and so needed, were dealt with more by patronization
6. The Intimately Oppressed
It is possible, reading standard histories, to forget half the population of the country. The explorers
were men, the landholders and merchants men, the political leaders men, the military figures men.
The very invisibility of women, the overlooking of women, is a sign of their submerged status.
