DJ in mylar; Slavery was widespread throughout the Mediterranean lands where Christianity was born and developed. Though Christians were both slaves and slaveholders, there has been surprisingly little study of what early Christians thought about the realities of slavery. How did they reconcile slavery with the Gospel teachings of brotherhood and charity? Slaves were considered the sexual property of their owners: what was the status within the Church of enslaved women and young male slaves who were their owners' sexual playthings? Is there any reason to believe that Christians shied away from the use of corporal punishments so common among ancient slave owners? Jennifer A. Glancy brings a multilayered approach to these and many other issues, offering a comprehensive re-examination of the evidence pertaining to slavery in early Christianity. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, Glancy situates early Christian slavery in its broader cultural setting. She argues that scholars have consistently underestimated the pervasive impact of slavery on the institutional structures, ideologies, and practices of the early churches and of individual Christians. The churches, she shows, grew to maturity with the assumption that slaveholding was the norm, and welcomed both slaves and slaveholders as members. Glancy draws attention to the importance of the body in the thought and practice of ancient slavery. To be a slave was to be a body subject to coercion and violation, with no rights to corporeal integrity or privacy. Even early Christians who held that true slavery was spiritual in nature relied, ultimately, on bodily metaphors to express this. Slavery, Glancy demonstrates, was an essential feature of both the physical and metaphysical worlds of early Christianity. ; 203 pages
Scholar's initial to inner cover (Jenifer Neils). ; Emphasizing the variety of systems of servitude, the author surveys the development of chattel slavery and then describes several cases in which entire communities were subjected. Next he considers the theories by which the Greeks justified the enslavement of particular peoples, and points out the absence of slavery in some Greek conceptions of utopia. He also discusses such topics as the condition of slaves in the various poleis, the role played by slaves in political life and in civic defense, the rarity of genuine slave revolts, and the means by which slaves and Helots sometimes reached accommodation with their masters. ; Classical World Series; 8.3 X 5.4 X 0.4 inches; 128 pages

Many of the early anti-slavery efforts focussed on the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia as Congress had full control over the laws within the District thus obviating any argument over state's rights. Until "retroceded" back to Virginia in 1846 the city of Alexandria and its notorious slave market was considered part of the District of Columbia making slavery in the District of particular importance. Inundated with petitions calling for the abolition of slavery in the District in 1836 Congress passed the so-called Pinckney Resolution which asserted that Congress "ought not" to consider slavery in the District and created a gag rule whereby all petitions memorials or other resolutions on the subject would be automatically tabled. unknown

Follows the general tone of a good deal of the abolitionist literature of the period. However while the author acknowledges the critical importance of slavery to America he suggests the issue needs to be debated with "calmness and candor" interestingly he indicates that the climate for these discussions appears to be improving.</p> Charles C.

Lind. Second edition substantially revised & expanded of this seminal work on the history of slavery in primitive societies from ethnological and economic viewpoints. Nieboer 1873-1920 argues that slavery in primitive societies such as among Pacific Northwest Coast Indians other North American Indian tribes Eskimos Australian aborigines Polynesian cultures Melanesia and others not only established that slaves were not just the physical property of their owners but that they also could be commanded to perform labors and that their status was recognized by the society of the slave holder.

186412816N.p. 1864. Lithograph 14.5 x 20.5 inches. Noticeable toning small areas of light discoloration along top margin short closed tear to left edge minor dust-soiling numerous creases and wrinkles. About very good. A dramatic political cartoon issued during the Civil War and satirizing the dangerous influence of those who argue a compromise on slavery or an easy solution to the war. The work was likely issued in the midst of the 1860 but more likely the 1864 presidential election campaign. The central image of the lithograph involves a three-headed snake -- labeled "The People's Party" and emerging from the American "South" personified by a moss-covered swamp -- which is wrapped around the length of a large tree labeled "Slavery." Each snake vocalizes a different misleading message about the issue of slavery and compromise seemingly aligned with political entities such as the Peace Party and the Copperheads. The messages from each snake head read respectively "Extend Slavery over the Northern States and the Rebellion will be over in 60 days;" "Persevere till after election and then we will give you all you ask;" and "'Support the President' - but oppose everything he may do to crush the Rebellion." This latter message indicates the author of the work supported President Lincoln. The North is personified in the background at left by a depiction of the U.S. Capitol Building. The central image of the lithograph carries echoes of the story of the Book of Genesis with the involvement of a deceptive serpent amid the tree of life.<br /> <br /> The lithograph is signed in the stone at bottom right reading simply "Brooks." Though the work came to us proposing the identify of the artist as Reuben Brooks 1794-1870 we were ultimately unable to confirm this authorship. The lack of an imprint in the lithograph also precludes easy research and identification. In fact the rarity of the lithograph makes it difficult to expound much more about it at all. OCLC reports just a single copy at the Peabody Essex Museum and it is not listed in Weitenkampf or Reilly. Given its rarity and content the present lithograph offers an outstanding opportunity for further research and contextualization. unknown

420p. Damp stained. Age stained. Bookplate of Mechanics' Library, Lancaster, Pa. With their stamp on title page, and related stamps embossed in blind. Tall 8vo. Original full black publisher's cloth binding, rubbed and worn. Hardbound. Lewis Cass (1782-1866) was an American military officer and politician. During the War of 1812, he served as Brigadier General. As a reward for his service he was appointed Governor of the Michigan Territory by President James Madison. In 1831 he resigned as Governor of the Michigan Territory to take the post of Secretary of War under President Andrew Jackson, serving until 1836. Cass was a central figure in formulating and implementing the Indian Removal policy of the Jackson administration. From 1836 to 1842, he was U.S. Ambassador to France. Cass represented the State of Michigan in the United States Senate from 1845 to 1848. In 1848 he resigned from the Senate to run for President. Cass was a leading supporter of the Doctrine of Popular Sovereignty, which held that the people who lived in a territory should decide whether or not to permit slavery there. His nomination caused a split in the Democratic party, leading many antislavery Democrats to join the Free Soil Party. After losing the election to Zachary Taylor, he returned to the Senate, serving from 1849 to 1857. Cass then served as Secretary of State under President James Buchanan (1857-1860). This book was apparently issued in hopes that Cass would again run for the Presidency in 1852. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! AMERICANA BOX 1
