For white colonizationists, the movement seemed positioned as a welcome compromise between slavery and abolition. For free blacks, colonization offered the hope of freedom, but not within America's borders. Bj©ırn F. Stillion Southard indicates how politics and identity were negotiated amid the intense public debate on race, slavery, and freedom in America. Operating from a position of power, white advocates argued that colonization was worthy of massive support from the federal government. Stillion Southard pores over the speeches of Henry Clay, Elias B. Caldwell, and Abraham Lincoln, which engaged with colonization during its active deliberation. Between Clay's and Caldwell's speeches at the founding of the American Colonization Society (ACS) in 1816 and Lincoln's final public effort to encourage colonization in 1862, Stillion Southard analyzes the little-known speeches and writings of free blacks who wrestled with colonization's conditional promises of freedom. He examines an array of discourses to probe the complex issues of identity confronting free blacks who attempted to meaningfully engage in colonization efforts. From a peculiarly voiced "Counter Memorial" against the ACS to the letters of wealthy black merchant Louis Sheridan negotiating for his passage to Liberia to the civically minded orations of Hilary Teage in Liberia, Stillion Southard brings to light the intricate rhetoric of blacks who addressed colonization to Africa."--Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a American Colonization Society $x History $y 19th century. 600 10 $a Lincoln, Abraham, $d 1809-1865 $x Political and social views. 600 10 $a Clay, Henry, $d 1777-1852 $x Political and social views. 600 10 $a Caldwell, Elias Boudinot, $d 1776-1825 $x Political and social views. 600 10 $a Sheridan, Louis $x Political and social views. 600 10 $a Teage, Hilary $x Political and social views. 600 17 $a Caldwell, Elias Boudinot, $d 1776-1825. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01941955 600 17 $a Clay, Henry, $d 1777-1852. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00014376 600 17 $a Lincoln, Abraham, $d 1809-1865. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00030184 600 17 $a Sheridan, Louis. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00499222 610 27 $a American Colonization Society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00528133 650 0 $a African Americans $x Colonization $z Liberia $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Free blacks $z America $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Slavery $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Rhetoric $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a African Americans $x Colonization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799587 650 7 $a Free blacks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00933846 650 7 $a Political and social views. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353986 650 7 $a Rhetoric $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01096959 650 7 $a Slavery. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120426 651 7 $a America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239786 651 7 $a Liberia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205331 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Stillion Southard, Bj©ırn F., author. $t Peculiar rhetoric $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, [2019] $z 9781496823717 $w (DLC) 2019005747 830 0 $a Race, rhetoric, and media series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017013842.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C446C27868DD11EA9C5A9E4D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
