This Practice Against Law: Cuban Slave Trade Cases in the Southern

2016653052016. ISBN-13: 9781616195458. ISBN-10: 1616195452. Gordan John D. III. "This Practice Against Law": Cuban Slave Trade Cases in the Southern District of New York 1839-1841. xv 117 pp. Clark New Jersey: Talbot Publishing an imprint of The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. 2016. ISBN-13: 9781616195458. ISBN-10: 1616195452. Hardcover. New. $49.95 "This Practice Against Law" reconstructs the little-known story of the Butterfly and the Catharine two slave ships from Havana seized by the British Navy off the African coast in 1839. These ships were tendered to the federal government for forfeiture proceedings and their captains prosecuted in the Southern District of New York and the Supreme Court of the United States. At the same time Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney conducted proceedings against the Catharine's builders in the Circuit Court in Baltimore. Based on the original case files in the National Archives and British Parliamentary publications this in-depth review refutes the criticism of the federal judiciary in the prior scholarly assessment of these cases and demonstrates that in fact the performance of the federal judges compares favorably with other branches of the American government. "John Gordan marvelously and meticulously reconstructs two slave ship cases litigated in the Southern District of New York after the 1839 British seizure of the Catharine and the Butterfly. Gordan's insightful tracing of the proceedings regarding these two little-known vessels provides an instructive contrast to the more famous events unfolding in the near-contemporaneous journey of the Amistad through the federal courts. Gordan's first-rate documentary detective work and insightful scholarship shed new and important light on the legal and political conditions of the Cuban slave trade in the 19th century. It is the latest gem from a leading authority of the history of the federal courts." -- Christian G. Fritz University of New Mexico John D.

Originally published: New York: National Association for the Advancement of Colored People National Office 1919. ii iii-viii new introduction 105 pp. Ill. maps. Reprinted by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. 2012 with a New Introduction by Paul Finkelman President William McKinley Distinguished Professor of Law and Public Policy Albany Law School. ISBN-13: 9781584779650. ISBN-10: 1584779659. Hardcover. New. $39.95 The seminal 1919 NAACP study undertaken to promote awareness of the scope of lynching in the U.S. with a new introduction by the noted slavery historian Paul Finkelman. The data in this study offer the gruesome facts by number year state color sex offense in total 3224 of which 2522 were negroes and 702 were white and include a chronological list by state giving the victim's name place and offense for the years 1889-1918. Paul Finkelman's introduction puts these horrific figures into perspective. For instance he points out that "Many blacks were lynched because they had allegedly committed murders. However many of these 'murderers' were never tried and the evidence against them was speculative at best. But other blacks were lynched for no apparent reason or for some minor transgression of social and racial rules-as understood by whites-such as 'inflammatory language' 'insulting remarks to a white woman' 'being disreputable' or just 'race prejudice.' This last cause-racial prejudice-was indeed at the root of almost all lynchings of African-Americans." CONTENTS Summation of the Facts Disclosed in Tables The Story of One Hundred Lynchings Appendix I-Analyses of Number of Persons Lynched Appendix II-Chronological List of Persons Lynched in United States 1889 to 1918 Inclusive Arranged by State. unknown books
