The Great New York Conspiracy of 1741 Slavery, Crime, and Colonial Law Peter Charles Hoffer June 2003 200 pages, 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Landmark Law Cases and American Society Cloth ISBN 0-7006-1245-9, $29.95 Paper ISBN 0-7006-1246-7, $14.95 SELECTION OF THE HISTORY BOOK CLUB The suspected conspiracy in New York prompted one of the most extensive slave trials in colonial history and some of the most grisly punishments ever meted out to individuals. Peter Hoffer now retells the dramatic story of those landmark trials, setting the events in their legal and historical contexts and offering a revealing glimpse of slavery in colonial cities and of the way that the law defined and policed the institution. Among other things, Hoffer reveals how conspiracy became a central feature of the law of slavery at the same time as it reflected the white belief that slaves were always conspiring against their masters. He draws on uniquely revealing firsthand accounts of the trials to both retell a gripping story and open a window on colonial American justice. He leads readers through a chain of events involving robbery and arson that culminated in the trials of a group of white men suspected of inciting the slaves to revolt. The episode, so vital to our understanding of a time when slavery was an entrenched institution and the law made even the angry muttering of slaves into a criminal act, has much to tell us about current affairs as well. African slaves in colonial times were viewed by authorities and citizens much as some foreigners are today: inherently dangerous, easily identifiable, and constantly conspiring.

An Annotated Bibliography of Kentucky Legal History Resources Prepared By Kurt X. Metzmeier Introduction Situated on the edge of the great regions of American historythe Old South, the Great Midwest, the Western FrontierKentucky's history (at least that falling after the days of Daniel Boone) has been neglected by America's most famous historians. The gaze of Francis Parkman, George Bancroft and Frederick Turner barely grazed the bluegrass plains, limestone creeks and smoky hollows of old Kentucky. However, the commonwealth's legal history has sparked more interest. As one of the American states most devoted to Jeffersonian democratic principles, the early history of Kentucky saw a sharp conflict between English legal traditions and popular discontent with the received common law principles of contact and property law. The law and the courts were the frequently the center of political struggles over monetary policy, land law and nationalism. More than any other state, early Kentucky legislators sought to explicitly promote a native strain of the common law by prohibiting by statute the citation of any British legal text that postdated the establishment of Virginia, Kentucky's mother state, in 1640, and by underwriting the publication of Kentucky statutes and case reports. The period between 1790 and 1851 saw the development of a whole body of Kentucky legal texts, including reports of cases, legal treatises and statutory compilations, and the later half of the century saw the development of modern digests, form books and treatises.

Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute Home Two Controversial Cases in New Haven History: The Amistad Affair (1839) and The Black Panther Trials (1970) by Verdell M. Roberts Contents of Curriculum Unit 78.02.09: Narrative Sample Lesson Plan Bibliography for Teachers To Guide Entry The purpose of this study is to make a descriptive comparison of two dramatic revolts for freedom in New Haven. The earlier of these is the so-called Amistad Affair of 1839, which occurred when the Abolitionist movement was in high gear. The other one, the Black Panther trials of 1970, coincided with the high tide of the Civil Rights movement. Each of these events seems to have resulted from a heightened awareness of injustice in America. This essay will look at the justification for both revolts and the American society’s reactions to them. If we must die—let it not be like hogs Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs Making their mock at our accused lot —Claude McKay (1919) A few years later sentiment began to change. In January 1838, president George Day of Yale University and a group of New Haven citizens prepared a resolution to Congress condemning the existence of slavery and slave trading in the District of Columbia. John Quincy Adams presented this paper to the House, in his capacity as spokesman for a positive antislavery stand. The next few years saw New Haven involved once again with slavery in the case of the Anistad captives. This affair began in the spring of 1839 on the west coast of Africa when a band of natives, acting as agents for Spanish slave traders, captured a considerable number of their countrymen and placed them in a barracoon at Dumbomo. Although the slave trade was prohibited by Spanish and American law the captives were transported to Cuba by a slaver flying the Portuguese flag. Since Cuba was Spanish territory, Africans who landed there in violation of the law were technically free. Such technicalities did not prevent two Cubans, Don Jose Ruiz and Don Pedro Montez, from purchasing fifty-two of the victims as slaves for $450 each. Ruiz and Montez then proceeded to secure a license to move their property from Havana to another Cuban port, falsely describing the Africans as having been imported before 1820, to conform to the laws of slave trading.

More Connecticut history, heritage, people, places and things... Legal History A Selected Bibliography of American Constitutional History . Santa Barbara:  Clio Books, 1975, p. 1.) Many of the articles included in this section have been published in law journals and should be scrutinized carefully for bias due to an advocacy position. Nevertheless, in works written by lawyers and judges, I have found much that is useful in my teaching, writing, and consulting. The major primary source of legal history is the ongoing series of Connecticut Reports begun in 1784 by Ephraim Kirby. They are available in the libraries of Connecticut's three law schools and in the county court houses. Kirby's Reports which were published in 1789, are generally considered to be the first in the nation. But Edwin C. Surrency points out that the claim is challenged by Francis Hopkinson's Judgements in Admiralty , published the same year. Surrency's article "Law Reports in the United States," an excellent discussion of the subject is in The Journal of Legal History 25(January, 1981)1:48-66. But see the article by Alan Briceland under Kirby in the "Biographies" section below.
