Question

Name 3 reasons South Carolinians felt "pushed unto a corner" during the 1820's and 1830's:

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Stuckey, Slave Culture, 198–203; Melish, Disowning Slavery, 249; Nash, ForgingFreedom, 185.

2. The very terms ‘Africa’ and ‘Africans’ are European in origin. It was during the late eighteenth century that victims of the Atlantic slave trade began to reference themselves this way rather than by their ethnic identities. This transformation is encapsulated in Olaudah Equiano's autobiography, TheInteresting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano or Gustavus Vassa, the African, written by himself; Sidbury, Becoming African in America, chapter 2.

3. Stuckey, Slave Culture, 200; Foner, History of Black Americans, 303.
