Remembering Enslavement

Reassembling the Southern Plantation Museum

By: Amy E. Potter,Stephen P. Hanna,Derek H. Alderman,Perry L. Carter,Candace Forbes Bright,David L. Butler

Remembering Enslavement explores plantation museums as sites for contesting and reforming public interpretations of slavery in the American South. Emerging out of a three-year National Science Foundation grant (2014–17), the book turns a critical eye toward the growing inclusion of the formerly enslaved within these museums, specifically examining advances but also continuing inequalities in how they narrate and memorialize the formerly enslaved. Using assemblage theory as a framework, Remembering Enslavement offers an innovative approach for studying heritage sites, retelling and remapping the ways that slavery and the enslaved are included in southern plantation museums. It examines multiple plantation sites across geographic areas, considering the experiences of a diversity of actors: tourists, museum managers/owners, and tour guides/interpreters. This approach allows for an understanding of regional variations among plantation museums, narratives, and performances, as well as more in-depth study of the plantation tour experience and public interpretations. The authors conclude the book with a set of questions designed to help professionals reassemble plantation museum narratives and landscapes to more justly position the formerly enslaved at their center.

The Divided Family in Civil War America

By: Amy Murrell Taylor

The Civil War has long been described as a war pitting "brother against brother." The divided family is an enduring metaphor for the divided nation, but it also accurately reflects the reality of America's bloodiest war. Connecting the metaphor to the real experiences of families whose households were split by conflicting opinions about the war, Amy Murrell Taylor provides a social and cultural history of the divided family in Civil War America. In hundreds of border state households, brothers--and sisters--really did fight one another, while fathers and sons argued over secession and husbands and wives struggled with opposing national loyalties. Even enslaved men and women found themselves divided over how to respond to the war. Taylor studies letters, diaries, newspapers, and government documents to understand how families coped with the unprecedented intrusion of war into their private lives. Family divisions inflamed the national crisis while simultaneously embodying it on a small scale--something noticed by writers of popular fiction and political rhetoric, who drew explicit connections between the ordeal of divided families and that of the nation. Weaving together an analysis of this popular imagery with the experiences of real families, Taylor demonstrates how the effects of the Civil War went far beyond the battlefield to penetrate many facets of everyday life.

Grandpa Was a Whaler

A Story of Carteret Chadwicks

By: Amy Muse

A survey of the Chadwick family of the Northeast and North Carolina, who played a pivotal role in the development of the regional commerce. The narrative focuses on the period from around 1725 and just after the Civil War. Researcher Amy Muse, a direct descendant of the Chadwicks on her mother’s side, first published Grandpa Was a Whaler in 1961. It became the first thorough research document on the earliest history of whaling in America in 1681 and the involvement of the Chadwick family over the years in whaling and ocean-going shipping. The narrative focuses on the period from around 1725 and just after the Civil War, from Massachusetts to North Carolina and, in particular, to Carteret County, North Carolina, where the Chadwicks established residency.
