abstract:This article examines the ways that three elite white women—Marie Anne Péborde Laussat, Manon d'Albis de Gissac Dessalles, and Anna Bence de Saint-Catherine Dessalles—furthered their families' social and economic status around the nineteenth-century Atlantic basin. It demonstrates that these women, and the enslaved and free African- descended servants who accompanied them, adapted eighteenth-century strategies for household advancement in response to the increased constraints on French women's legal and economic positions in post-Napoleonic France and also different social, legal, and political responses to racialized chattel slavery throughout the French Caribbean. For elite white women, such adaptations included not only more frequent travel around the Atlantic but also extended periods apart from other family members, all of which required them to independently make decisions for their extended households based on their knowledge of local circumstances and often their own resources. For the enslaved and free African-descended servants who moved between colonial and metropolitan France, differing social and legal regimes provided opportunities for personal and family advancement, in particular de facto freedom, which further blurred the line between enslaved and free status.
摘要:本文考察了19世纪大西洋流域三名白人精英女性——玛丽·安妮·帕姆波德·劳萨特、玛侬·德·阿尔比斯·德·吉萨克·德·德·萨莱斯和安娜·本斯·德·圣·凯瑟琳·德·萨莱斯——如何提升她们家族的社会和经济地位。它表明,这些妇女,以及伴随她们的被奴役和自由的非洲裔仆人,适应了18世纪的家庭发展战略,以应对后拿破仑时代法国妇女在法律和经济地位上日益受到的限制,以及对整个法属加勒比地区种族化的动产奴隶制的不同社会、法律和政治反应。对于白人精英女性来说,这种适应不仅包括更频繁地绕大西洋旅行,还包括与其他家庭成员分开的时间更长,所有这些都要求她们根据对当地情况的了解,通常还有自己的资源,独立地为大家庭做决定。对于在法国殖民地和大都市之间迁徙的被奴役和自由的非洲裔仆人来说,不同的社会和法律制度为个人和家庭的进步提供了机会,特别是事实上的自由,这进一步模糊了被奴役和自由地位之间的界限。

"That she shall be forever banished from this country": Alcohol, Sovereignty, and Social Segregation in New Netherland “她将永远被驱逐出这个国家”:新荷兰的酒精、主权和社会隔离

abstract:Alcohol was a subject of deep concern for Indigenous nations and settler governments in early America, but, though all agreed that the alcohol trade was dangerous, they did not assess the problem or its remedies in the same ways. This essay disaggregates seventeenth-century alcohol ordinances from their enforcement by examining laws and diplomacy as separate from court records. In considering prohibitions and prosecutions as distinct yet interrelated, it uncovers the differences between Indigenous and Dutch interpretations of alcohol's destructive effects to community and sovereignty. In the context of New Netherland diplomacy, Indigenous and settler authorities could reach consensus over alcohol trade prohibitions, but decisions about how to prosecute the laws fell to Dutch magistrates, who used alcohol cases to impose their particular visions of colonial communities upon ordinary settlers, especially women. Historians have long understood that ordinances regulating the alcohol trade were ineffective but have generally pointed to lax enforcement as the source of the laws' shortcomings. This essay focuses instead on examples of when the laws were strictly enforced, revealing how prosecutorial decision-making became a gendered method of enforcing segregation between settler and Indigenous populations, demarcating settler homes as off-limits to Indigenous people.
酒精是美洲早期土著民族和移民政府深切关注的一个问题,但是,尽管他们都同意酒精贸易是危险的,但他们对问题的评估和补救方法却不尽相同。这篇文章通过将法律和外交与法庭记录分开来研究,将17世纪的酒精条例从其执行中分解出来。考虑到禁酒和起诉既不同又相互关联,它揭示了土著居民和荷兰人对酒精对社区和主权的破坏性影响的不同解释。在新荷兰外交的背景下,土著和移民当局可以就酒精贸易禁令达成共识,但如何起诉法律的决定落在了荷兰地方法官身上,他们利用酒精案件将他们对殖民社区的特殊看法强加给普通定居者,特别是妇女。历史学家早就明白,监管酒类贸易的法令是无效的,但他们普遍指出,执法不严是法律缺陷的根源。这篇文章将重点放在法律严格执行的例子上,揭示了起诉决策如何成为一种性别化的方法,在定居者和土著人口之间实施隔离,将定居者的房屋划定为土著人的禁区。

"Places of Great Trust": Government Men and Slave Trade Networks in the English Atlantic before 1698 “信任之地”:1698年前英属大西洋的政府官员和奴隶贸易网络

abstract:This article argues that conflicts and competition over the form of English slave trading in the Atlantic world during the late seventeenth century elicited the use of a common language of government corruption. Contrary to common historiographical assumptions that government officials could pursue private investments through their public duties without controversy in the English colonies during this period, contested slave trade networks both in the Caribbean and Carolina reveal that colonists actively applied typical English notions of entrusted power to police the borders of acceptable government conduct. Whether in the African slave trade or in the trade in Indigenous captives, monopolies and other regulatory regimes required the active support of government officials on the ground. As a result, these officials became the primary vectors for undermining slave trade regulations and promoting smuggling. Evidence of the extent to which government officials were complicit in illicit slave trading survives in the archive primarily because English observers in Atlantic ports chose to protest such conduct using a recognized metropolitan language of corruption.
本文认为,在17世纪晚期,大西洋世界的英国奴隶贸易形式的冲突和竞争引发了政府腐败的共同语言的使用。与通常的史学假设相反,在这一时期,政府官员可以通过他们的公共职责在英国殖民地进行私人投资,而不会引起争议,加勒比海和卡罗莱纳有争议的奴隶贸易网络表明,殖民者积极应用典型的英国观念,即委托权力来监督可接受的政府行为的边界。无论是在非洲奴隶贸易还是在土著俘虏贸易中,垄断和其他监管制度都需要当地政府官员的积极支持。因此,这些官员成为破坏奴隶贸易法规和促进走私的主要载体。政府官员在多大程度上参与了非法奴隶交易,这些证据之所以能留存在档案中,主要是因为大西洋港口的英国观察员选择用一种公认的大都市腐败语言来抗议这种行为。

John Quincy Adams and the Ancient Classics, 1794–1817 约翰·昆西·亚当斯和古代经典,1794-1817

ABSTRACT:John Quincy Adams was, among other things, a scholar, poet, and even scientist. He was unusually devoted to the Greek and Latin classics. This article establishes, through his detailed diaries, the agenda of his classical studies from 1794 to 1817, a period during which, with the exception of eight years back in the United States, he served as an ambassador in Europe. His non-classical intellectual interests during this whole period are included in the story, for Adams’s classical interests were only part—but an important part—of an encyclopedic openness to the whole of learning, which was not untypical of his age.
摘要:约翰·昆西·亚当斯不仅是一位学者、诗人,甚至还是一位科学家。他异乎寻常地热衷于钻研希腊和拉丁经典。本文通过他的详细日记,建立了他从1794年到1817年的古典研究议程,在此期间,除了回到美国的八年,他担任欧洲大使。在这整个时期,他对非古典的知识兴趣都包含在故事中,因为亚当斯对古典的兴趣只是他对整个学问的百科全书式开放的一部分——但却是重要的一部分,这在他那个时代并不罕见。

Black Tradeswomen and the Making of a Taste Culture in Lower Louisiana 下路易斯安那州黑人女商人与品味文化的形成

ABSTRACT:Black tradeswomen – both enslaved and free African women and those of African descent – played key economic roles in lower Louisiana during the late eighteenth century. This article uses the life of Jeannette, an enslaved-turned-free negra, as a case study of a women who advertised Atlantic ingredients and cloth through West African customs and framework, and in doing so, popularized Afro-Atlantic material culture in North America. Enslaved in 1749 at the Bight of Benin, West Africa, Jeannette was sent by enslavers to Saint Pierre, Martinique, and then New Orleans, Louisiana, during which time she hired out as a tradeswoman. For much of her life, Jeannette fought against enslavement and negotiated for a place in the marketplace, a space that allowed her more access to autonomy and economic resources than plantation work. Examining personal estate inventories and bills of receipt of residents of French, Spanish, and African descent, it becomes clear that she and others found profit-making opportunities both in the marketplace and in the sale of Afro-Atlantic material cultures.
摘要:18世纪末,黑人女商人——包括被奴役和自由的非洲妇女以及非洲裔妇女——在下路易斯安那州扮演着重要的经济角色。这篇文章以Jeannette这个从奴隶到自由的黑人的生活为例,研究了一个女人通过西非的习俗和框架来宣传大西洋的原料和布料,从而在北美推广了非洲-大西洋的物质文化。1749年,珍妮特在西非贝宁湾被奴役,被奴隶们送到马提尼克岛的圣皮埃尔,然后是路易斯安那州的新奥尔良,在此期间她受雇做商人。珍妮特一生中的大部分时间都在与奴隶制作斗争,并为在市场上争取一席之地而进行谈判,这是一个让她比种植园工作更容易获得自主权和经济资源的空间。通过检查法国、西班牙和非洲裔居民的个人财产清单和收据,很明显,她和其他人在市场和非大西洋物质文化的销售中都找到了赚钱的机会。

British Plans to Rescue Convention Army Prisoners in the American Revolution 英国在美国独立战争中营救国民公会军俘虏的计划

ABSTRACT:This essay examines British plans to recover prisoners of war following the loss of Lieutenant-General John Burgoyne’s army near Saratoga, New York. In October of 1777, Burgoyne signed the Convention of Saratoga with American Major-General Horatio Gates. In the convention, the two generals agreed that Burgoyne’s troops would receive a free passage to Britain after arriving in Boston, Massachusetts. The Continental Congress discarded Gates’s passage pledge, voided the convention, and ordered Burgoyne’s troops incarcerated. This article argues that in planning and attempting to rescue Burgoyne’s soldiers as an army, British Generals Sir William Howe and Henry Clinton modified European methods of warfare. For a year following Saratoga, the two generals covertly worked to recover the prisoners. British officers had never before attempted to rescue thousands of prisoners by force A close reading of senior British and American officers’ wartime correspondence underlines the importance of recovering Convention Army prisoners into active service. Howe and Clinton’s plans are crucial to understanding senior British officers’ efforts to adapt to local conditions and increase their army’s capacity to wage war in North America.
摘要:本文探讨了约翰·伯戈因中将的军队在纽约萨拉托加附近阵亡后,英国收回战俘的计划。1777年10月,伯戈因与美国少将霍雷肖·盖茨签署了萨拉托加公约。在会议上,两位将军同意,伯戈因的部队到达马萨诸塞州的波士顿后,可以免费前往英国。大陆会议放弃了盖茨的通过保证,宣布会议无效,并下令监禁伯戈因的军队。本文认为,英国将军威廉·豪爵士(Sir William Howe)和亨利·克林顿(Henry Clinton)在计划和试图将伯戈因的士兵作为一支军队解救出来的过程中,修改了欧洲的作战方法。萨拉托加事件之后的一年时间里,两位将军秘密地努力营救战俘。英国军官以前从未试图用武力解救数千名战俘。仔细阅读英美高级军官的战时通信,就会发现让国民公会军战俘重返现役的重要性。豪和克林顿的计划对于理解英国高级军官为适应当地条件和提高军队在北美发动战争的能力所做的努力至关重要。

Louisiana Bohemians: Community, Race, and Empire 路易斯安那波西米亚人:社区、种族和帝国

ABSTRACT:In 1720, thirteen deported French Bohemian (Romani) families disembarked in the floundering Louisiana colony. Anti-Bohemian sentiment combined with a growing French Empire in need of able-bodied and reproductive laborers to dislocate these families from their already precarious lives. Over the next century, as Louisiana increasingly developed along new and more intransigent racialized lines, Bohemians navigated and helped construct this emergent racial order in diverse ways. Despite the formation of an initial Bohemian community in eighteenth-century Louisiana, their descendants were eventually distributed into new colonial racial categories. The racial potential of Louisiana Bohemians declined as their actions, especially their sexual choices, determined where they, and their descendants, might racially situate. Both self- and other-ascribed Bohemian identity eventually, if unevenly, lost relevance in French, Spanish and U.S.-controlled Louisiana as other more powerful racialized categories and identities prevailed. This article attends to the history of the colonial Louisiana Bohemian community in order to broaden the historical knowledge of the Romani diaspora, complement the existing scholarship on the Louisiana colony and state, and continue to fine-tune our understandings of racial formation in early America.
摘要:1720年,13个被驱逐的法国波西米亚人(罗姆人)家庭登陆了苦苦挣扎的路易斯安那殖民地。反波西米亚的情绪与日益壮大的法兰西帝国相结合,法兰西帝国需要健全的生育劳动力,以使这些家庭摆脱本已岌岌可危的生活。在接下来的一个世纪里,随着路易斯安那州沿着新的、更不妥协的种族化路线不断发展,波西米亚人以各种方式引导并帮助建立了这种新兴的种族秩序。尽管在18世纪的路易斯安那州形成了一个最初的波西米亚社区,但他们的后代最终被分配到新的殖民地种族类别中。路易斯安那州波西米亚人的种族潜力下降了,因为他们的行为,尤其是他们的性选择,决定了他们和他们的后代可能处于的种族地位。自我和他人归属的波西米亚身份最终在法国、西班牙和美国控制的路易斯安那州失去了相关性,因为其他更强大的种族化类别和身份占了上风。本文关注路易斯安那州殖民地波西米亚社区的历史,以扩大罗姆人流散的历史知识,补充现有的路易斯安那殖民地和州的学术研究,并继续微调我们对早期美国种族形成的理解。

ABSTRACT:In 1752, a wounded Spanish ship—laden with gold, silver, indigo, and other valuable goods—wrecked along the Connecticut coast. This episode initially appeared to be a tale of Samaritans rescuing the crew and safekeeping their payload. Such hospitality yielded to avarice as the loosely guarded cargo was plundered. This article looks closely at the county court in New London, Connecticut, to examine how judges, jurors, and local legal officials shouldered the burdens of securing some sense of justice for Spanish officials and British colonists ensnared in what became known as “The Spanish Ship Affair.” It highlights the importance of local colonial courts in maintaining peace, not only in their respective communities, but also in greater imperial contexts. This was especially important in the wake of ineffective responses from the governor, colonial assembly, and vice-admiralty court—institutions purportedly designed to handle inter-imperial conflicts. Emphasis on this county court reveals a flexible judiciary creatively punishing unredeemable criminals, merciful jurors willing to forgive repentant neighbors, and the resultant long-term changes in Connecticut’s political landscape and its legal approaches to shipwrecks.
摘要:1752年,一艘满载黄金、白银、靛蓝和其他贵重物品的西班牙船只在康涅狄格州海岸失事。这一集最初似乎是撒玛利亚人拯救船员并保护他们的有效载荷的故事。当守卫松懈的货物被掠夺时,这种好客变成了贪婪。本文密切关注康涅狄格新伦敦的县法院,考察法官、陪审员和当地法律官员是如何为陷入“西班牙船事件”的西班牙官员和英国殖民者伸张正义的。它突出了地方殖民法院在维护和平方面的重要性,不仅在各自的社区,而且在更大的帝国背景下。这在总督、殖民地议会和副海军部法院(据称是为处理帝国内部冲突而设计的机构)的无效反应之后尤为重要。对这个县法院的强调揭示了一个灵活的司法系统,创造性地惩罚无可救药的罪犯,仁慈的陪审员愿意原谅忏悔的邻居,以及康涅狄格州政治格局的长期变化及其对沉船的法律途径。
