[Manuscript – Civil War – Ohio – Economy – Slavery Debate] Chapin, HenryBiblio.com

Autograph Letter Discussing Financial Panic Agricultural Conditions and the Coming Necessity of Emancipation: â€œThe President possesses the war power to abolish slavery â€¦ and the time will come when they will have to do it.â€

1861Cat338Lafayette Ohio 1861. Autograph letter signed 2 pp. Addressed to D. T. Chapin of Enfield Connecticut. Good condition with normal folds and light wear. A concise but revealing early Civil War letter combining financial anxiety agricultural reporting and clear-eyed political commentary on slavery and the future course of the conflict. Writing amid the first months of the American Civil War Chapin opens with the immediate purpose of the letterâ€”forwarding â€œa draft of $240 for int. on the noteâ€â€”before situating the payment within a deteriorating economic landscape: â€œIt is very difficult to get money now even of the best men.â€ He describes a local economy under strain noting â€œno market for wool to bring in moneyâ€ compounded by regional instability â€œon account of the bank failing and many of the merchants in Medina closingâ€ concluding bluntly: â€œTerrible bursting times with them.â€ Even the act of sending funds carries uncertainty as he cautions that â€œin these times I consider there is a risk in the best of banks.â€ Alongside these concerns Chapin provides a snapshot of agricultural conditions: â€œCorn is very backward and short wheat nearly middling grass rather below middlingâ€ summing up the situation as â€œrather tight times as well as troubled times.â€ The most significant portion of the letter however turns to the war itself and the unresolved question of slavery. He writes: â€œWe hope the end will be well but our nation will have to be humbled. It is well to put down rebellion but it is rather queer that the cause of the trouble must be let entirely alone. The nation will get their eyes open after a while. The President possesses the war power to abolish slavery and Congress possess the power also in my humble opinion and the time will come when they will have to do it unless the south run their heads so hard against the rock as to do it themselves.â€ The letter closes with a brief note on a failed business transactionâ€”â€œour trade for the sale of the mill fell throughâ€â€”underscoring the economic uncertainty of the moment before returning to family matters. Overall an evocative early Civil War letter by a merchant expressing fears and anxiety for the pending conflict. unknown

Important autograph letter from Elliott Cresson one of the foremost proponents of the American Colonization Society and its colony in Liberia to Member of Parliament Benjamin Hawes presenting a resolution to found the British African Colonization Society. Discusses the famed abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison's opposition to the colonization movement. The letter begins with the two-page text of a resolution to establish the British African Colonization Society under the patronage of the Duke of Sussex: "That Colonies composed of fair settlers of African race established on judicious principles on the Coast of Africa appear calculated beyond any other plan to put an effectual stop to the slave trade . . . Resolved that a Society be formed to be called the British African Colonization Society and that its objects be to cooperate with the American Colonization Society and with the several missionaries and other religious and charitable societies in Great Britain and the United States of America in such measures as may promote the total abolition of the slave trade and the establishment of Christianity and Civilization among the Natives of Africa chiefly by the employment of Free Persons of African birth or descent . . ." In the letter which follows Cresson writes of William Lloyd Garrison's opposition to the colonization movement: "I send the list of officers as far as accepted several others have not yet answered but I trust we shall present a bold front. I have just heard thru his Chaplain from the Duke. Garrison has written to poison his mind and probably will annoy our meeting. I trust that as the notice has been so short our friends will bring many with them . . . My letter to the Times in answer to Garrison they have not yet noticed so that it will be put in the Globe whose Editor has offered it a place in his columns." Cresson a noted Philadelphia businessman and philanthropist was among the most ardent supporters of colonization the movement to relocate formerly enslaved people and free black Americans to colonies in Liberia. In 1832 he traveled to England to promote international support for the movement. The following year Cresson and the Philadelphia Young Men's Colonization Society a branch of the American Colonization Society founded Port Cresson in Liberia. However the colony was attacked in 1835 by Bassa tribesmen incited by Spanish slave traders and destroyed. Although initially in favor of colonization William Lloyd Garrison changed his mind and decried the efforts of the American Colonization Society as a perpetuation of slavery.

[Slavery]: [California Gold Rush]: Cram, Charles HBiblio.com

Autograph Letter Signed from a New Englander Who Settled in Missouri Discussing the Clothing of Slaves Western Emigration His Next Move West and More

18604105Missouri: April 1 1860. Very good. 4pp. on a single folded sheet. Original mailing folds minor toning. An informative letter written by Charles H. Cram in Missouri to a friend in New England dated "April Fools Day 1860" in red pencil at the top of the first page. Cram mentions hoop skirts Pike's Peak and slavery while trying to decide whether to continue westward during the latter years of the California Gold Rush. Cram's letter reads in part: "Everybody is going to Pikes Peak but me. I think some of them will wish they were back again but they have got the gold fever and nothing else will cure them. I have learned better than to follow the biggest nois and the great rush. The emigrants to Pikes Peake will most of them will have to sleep on the ground and depend on the rifle for something to eat. I may start for Santa Fe about the first of June. I can git 15 dollars a month to drive a teem to Santa Fe. If I do cross the plains I shall go to California but if I have good health I shall stay here though I do not like to live in a slave state." In another portion of his letter Cram addresses his correspondent's question of whether slaves and freedpersons wore hoop skirts in Missouri. Cram writes: "You wanted to know if niggers wore hoops. Some do and some don't some slaves in broadcloth and silk and some go nearly naked. Slaves have there stent to do so much & if they do more they are payed for it. Most of them have a piece of ground that they call their own. What time they get they work on it. That is how they git their fine cloths. There is not a nigger in Missouri that works as hard as I do but I have consolation that I can work only when I am a mind to. You tell Albert not to start out among strangers as I did for he will find the people different in the country from them in New England." Cram then speaks to the emigrant populations he encounters out west as well as the agricultural bounty and animal life of Missouri: "The greatest difficulty I had was to learn the French and German language. I have been for weeks where I could not understand a word but now I can understand anything that comes along. But now for something else. The peach trees are in flower and the woods look green. Cattle and horses pick their living here the year round. I have not seen a barn in the country. The way to feed a horse is to tie him up to a tree and throw him a few ears of corn on the ground. I cannot rite to day much for there is half a dozen in the room talking about pikes peak or some young lady and how many negroes her father owns etc." Cram ends his letter with some advice for his friends back east: "Tell Mr. Bosworth that if he can rais $500 that he had better go to Cansas Kansas and go to farming. If you can persuade Andrew Marshall to go west it will be a good lesson for him." A mid-19th century manuscript letter with informative observations on the clothing of slaves and with notable observations of western life in Missouri. April 1 unknown

SLAVERY - CRESSON, Elliott (1796-1854)Biblio.com

Autograph letter signed to Member of Parliament Benjamin Hawes concerning the Spanish slave market in Sierra Leone and the colony at Liberia

183431598Philadelphia 1834. 3pp. Later annotation at head of first page. Scarce letter on the Liberian colonization movement by one of its founders. Writing to Hawes a member of Parliament and a committee member of the Society for the Extinction of the Slave Trade Cresson wishes for success in the British anti-slavery action off the coast of Sierra Leone writing "I hope that you may yet enjoy the satisfaction of crushing one of the worst & most unacceptable of the slave markets in existence that at Gallinas." After mentioning the travels of the colonial governor of Liberia he writes: ". I have been gratified to learn from several highly respectable sources that such a Colony as you propose located either at the mouth of the Cape Mount River or even a little more to the Northward say at Sugaree & provided with a good supply of trade goods to exchange with the natives would have a powerful tendency to break up the monopoly now enjoyed by the Spanish Slavers. My letters from Africa state that the demand is so great in Cuba from the ravages of Cholera among their ill-fed human cattle as to have rendered the shipments from the Gallinas during the past year almost unprecedented. It appears that the benevolent efforts of your Govt. are not likely to extirpate the evil until commercial & agricultural colonies shall be substituted for cruisers." The letter continues with news from their consul at Liberia before turning to American politics: ". political affairs engrossing the entire energies of the nation. The excitement is painfully great . Our military chieftan Jackson by his acts of unauthorized assumption has called forth a burst of indignation which cannot subside until we get rid of the offender." The letter concludes with an introduction for Gerard Ralston. Cresson a noted Philadelphia businessman and philanthropist was among the most ardent supports of colonization the movement to relocate former slaves and free African Americans to colonies in Liberia. In 1833 Cresson and the Philadelphia Young Men's Colonization Society a branch of the American Colonization Society founded Port Cresson in Liberia. However the colony was attacked in 1835 by Bassa tribesmen incited by Spanish slave traders and destroyed. unknown

AFRICAN AMERICANA SLAVERY & ABOLITION ABOLITION WOMEN AUTHORS TAYLOR EmilyABAA

Autograph Letter Signed to Eliza Lee Cabot Follen including Manuscript Poem "For the Liberty Bell." 4pp dated August 10th 1843

46418Liverpool: 1843. Quarto sheet folded once to make 4pp. Signed in three places "Emily Taylor"; marked "Private;" and "for Mrs. Chapman." Mild cover soil; small loss at right margin from opening; slight fading to ink. Very Good. Includes brief introductory followed by an anti-slavery poem of 67 lines "For the Liberty Bell" submitted for publication in the American gift annual of that name. Numerous ink corrections to the text in the author's hand. English poet and hymnist Emily Taylor 1795-1872 was the author of more than twenty books including the book-length anti-slavery poem The Vision of Las Casas 1825. Though best-known as an author of historical works for children she was also a prolific hymnist contributing more than a dozen works to various Unitarian hymnals in the first decades of the 19th century possibly providing her connection to Follen also a well-known hymnist. The present letter is addressed to the prominent abolitionist author Eliza Lee Follen of Boston and opens: "My dear Madam Our mutual friend Harriet Martineau assures me of a kind reception from you and accordingly I transcribe for you a few lines written immediately on reading your Liberty Bell for 1843. If you are to enroll my name among those which I hold so holy & dear as your contributors in the Abolition cause please to accept them." The substantial 67-line poem which follows begins with the prologue: "To a friend who asked the author's aid and prayers for the slave;" and continues: "Pity & prayers and pleading for the Slaves! / Them thou didst ask and soon as ask'd I gave." The poem goes on to extend the by-then familiar argument that the institution of slavery makes slaves not only of its subjects but of its perpetrators as well. Taylor concludes as a postscript on the final leaf: "Would you dear Mrs. Follen forward the enclosed to Mrs. Chapman Maria Weston Chapman editor of The Liberty Bell .I am sorry but do not know Mrs. C's address." The poem was in fact published without revisions as "To A Friend" in the 1844 edition of Chapman's important anti-slavery gift annual The Liberty Bell; other contributors to this edition included James Russell Lowell Lydia Maria Child Harriet Martineau Amasa Walker William Llloyd Garrison and others. The recipient of the letter Eliza Lee Cabot Follen was herself a prominent and prolific abolitionist author scion of the Cabots of Boston and part of the Boston social circle that included William Ellery Channing Henry Ware George Ticknor and other patrician intellectuals of the period. An excellent and representative letter and manuscript involving three key women figures in the abolitionist movement during a particularly heady period for the cause. unknown books

McCallum thinks "we will do well on this load of hay.as hay is advancing" and also comments about his wife's lack of correspondence and reminds her that he writes twice a week.
