Knowing would make the difference in their lives, I believe. The info you gave us here is enough to start a good research project.

Might be a good defense in court.<br />Slavery in the American Mountain South by Wilma A. Dunaway 2003 gives some interesting insights into resistance of slavery with most emphasis on the mountains of Appalachia. You may have seen my blog review on the book earlier this year? Much data on a very sad subject.<br />rainyrainywalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13445164335609548931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-42352851374027197822009-11-02T14:21:16.284-06:002009-11-02T14:21:16.284-06:00Great post Daddy.

I think the school system lied to me about how history went down. On top of that, they ignored the most important aspects of African American and working class history. So I'm not the only one who lack a lot of knowledge about our history.<br /><br />Sagacious: I'm going to check, but I think the great historian Carter G.

Many legal precedents were set in WV. <br />I took a grad class on Black WV History from a very renowned scholar on the topic(Dr, Ancilla Bickley). It would be interesting to get you some of the nonpublished materials she provided us with that I still have. Also, Dr. Joe Trotter at Carnegie-Mellon who grew up in So. WV has published a couple books on blacks in the coal fields of WV. Yes, we have a lot of positive Black history.<br />Sadly, in the past few decades WV has become a bastian of racism and continues in horrible economic depression. When jobs began getting more and more scarce in the coal fields, guess who the first miners were to migrate out into the midwest and south? The ones who were the first to be laid off or not offered the fewer jobs of course and we can all figure what group that was. No, WV aint the same old place it used to be.SagaciousHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09511441325695460501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-12761220581011379652009-11-01T16:49:04.807-06:002009-11-01T16:49:04.807-06:00MacDaddy,

I start by reading the paper, checking other blogs. But I always seem to end on what I think is important for that day: something current like Philadelphia Phillies or something more educational like the piece I just did on the first rebellion.

For one thing it developed these oppressive laws, but so many great African Americans came out of that state.<br /><br />Another thing were the people who gathered there. John Brown and Frederick Douglass hung out there. John wanted Douglass to join the rebellion. Douglass told Brown he appreciated his commitment, but the rebellion wouldn't work. They disagreed on the rebellion but remained allies against slavery.<br /><br />WV is loaded with great history, but all I hear is negative stuff about the country that makes me sick. Everything I read about WV is negative.

In Virginia (and what is now WV) up until 1832, the slave laws were not well defined and pretty much let slaves do what they wanted as long as there was no trouble. Then Nat Turner came along and led a rebellion. Suddenly, it seems like the legislature was totally consumed with laws effecting slaves. They couldn't congregate, marry, go to their own chuches, travel, etc., etc. The laws that came onto the books in 1832 were one of the biggest blitzes of law making concerning a single topic anywhere (I suspect).<br />So yea, they were afraid, especially in the deep south where they were greatly outnumbered.<br /><br />Great article.
