Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - From the start of the Puritan era through the end of the Revolutionary War, Boston was the central hub of the slave trade. Slaves were brought onboard ships from the African coast with regularity, often mastered by Cape Cod sea captains. The total number of slaves per household was certainly much smaller in the Northeast than they were in the larger plantations found in the South, but, nonetheless, a much-needed labor force was deemed a necessity.After Massachusetts legally prohibited the practice of slavery in 1780, sea captains continued to engage in its development in a variety of ways. Some captains would bring slaves in surreptitiously, while other masters of the sea profited in indirect ways. Some mariners provided inexpensive low-grade food to the plantations, while others would bring cotton to the North for textile work. In the early 1800s the Commonwealth's shipping industry became divided, with some men fighting for the cause of abolitionism while other captains preferred a very slow demise to this human trafficking. Massachusetts would eventually lead a movement to fight for total abolitionism. To understand the thinking of the day, religious views, political positions, economic factors, and social movements are all placed into sharper detail and given greater context. By sharing profiles of notable Black people living in Massachusetts, we acknowledge the enormous positive contributions made by those forced to relinquish their personal right to freedom.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Whether you call Cape Cod a man-made island or describe it as a geographic peninsula connected to the mainland by bridges, there is one non-debatable fact. Cape Cod is surrounded by water on all four sides, jutting out prominently into the Atlantic Ocean. This characteristic accounts in large measure for its history, its economic development, its aesthetic beauty, and its maritime legacy.This narrative explores the connection that each Cape Cod town has to the sea as demonstrated through its seafaring residents. It provides a glimpse into heroic maritime adventures, entrepreneurial brilliance, and an appreciation of the resolve needed by captains to thrive in a hostile seaside environment.Maritime figures take several forms such as distinguished fishermen, military war heroes, deep-sea merchants, local coasters, packet boat captains, whalers, ship architects, luxury passenger liner magnets, and even 'mooscussers' prowling along the coastline for treasure.A definite emphasis is placed on the role of indigenous people, black sea captains, the female perspective of living aboard a ship, and social status awarded to ethnic groups brave enough to face the perils of deep-sea travel.This book examines each Cape Cod town's relative engagement to the seafaring life. Can one specific town assert unique mastery of the sea, or should several communities share in this heritage In reviewing the data, we discover that every town assuredly has a substantive connection to the sea and deserves to be given at least some credit for its maritime history. …
