How can the simple choice of a men's suit be a moral statement and a political act? When the suit is made of free-labor wool rather than slave-grown cotton. In Moral Commerce, Julie L. Holcomb traces the genealogy of the boycott of slave labor from its seventeenth-century Quaker origins through its late nineteenth-century decline. In their failures and in their successes, in their resilience and their persistence, antislavery consumers help us understand the possibilities and the limitations of moral commerce.
Quaker antislavery rhetoric began with protests against the slave trade before expanding to include boycotts of the use and products of slave labor. For more than one hundred years, British and American abolitionists highlighted consumers' complicity in sustaining slavery. The boycott of slave labor was the first consumer movement to transcend the boundaries of nation, gender, and race in an effort by reformers to change the conditions of production. The movement attracted a broad cross-section of abolitionists: conservative and radical, Quaker and non-Quaker, male and female, white and black.
The men and women who boycotted slave labor created diverse, biracial networks that worked to reorganize the transatlantic economy on an ethical basis. Even when they acted locally, supporters embraced a global vision, mobilizing the boycott as a powerful force that could transform the marketplace. For supporters of the boycott, the abolition of slavery was a step toward a broader goal of a just and humane economy. The boycott failed to overcome the power structures that kept slave labor in place; nonetheless, the movement's historic successes and failures have important implications for modern consumers.

The Southern Christian Advocate was the publication of the Methodist Confreence of both South and North Carolina, Georgia and Florida for the period 1837-1878. It also covered other states as well, such as: Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and occasionally containing notices from other states as well. Vol. #1 contains the names of approximately 70,000 indivuals and Vol. #2 which covers the Civil War period, contains the names of approximately 30,000 indiviuals. The marriage notices will often times have "son of" "daughter of" etc.. This is very important source for information when doing Methodist ancestry. Considering that the State of South Carolina did not officialy start keeping vital records until 1911, these notices take on an added importance. North Carlina requirment for marriage licenses (as opposed to bonds) did not come into effect until 1868. And some Georgia counties have lost their marriage records. Considering the time frame of these books makes these marriage notices important because many times couples will move away from where they were married and finding a marriage record can be very difficult to locate if the county and state of the marriage are not already known. The death notices within these books are mini-biographies of the deceased persons, often times giving places of birth and former residences. During the Civil War years, many persons could not afford tombstones or erected only wooden markers which have not survived and hence these books become even more impotant to the reacher.

Tryon County was formed from Mecklenburg County in 1769. At one time Tryon County included all or part of the N.C. counties of Burke, Cleveland, Gaston, Henderson, Lincoln, Polk, Rutherford, McDowell, and the S.C. counties of York, Chester, Union, Cherokee, Spartanburg, Greenville, Laurens, and Newberry. These deeds, wills, and estates should provide many missing links for the researcher working on the Carolina frontier.

Описание: This book contains an exact transcript of the Journal of the Court of Ordinary, which contains several marriage licenses, and estates are mentioned of which original papers are extant. At least one will and some inventories which cannot elsewhere be found are contained here. This volume greatly supplements the well-known book by Pauline Young on Old 96 and Abbeville District, SC Wills & Bonds.
Описание: Since South Carolina did not officially keep vital records until 1911, it is extremely important to search through newspapers to locate this type of information. Sometimes this is the only source that may have that type of information. These marriage and death notices have been abstracted from The Laurensville Herald, Spartanburg Express, The Spartan, the Conservatist (Newberry), The Newberry Sentinel, The Rising Sun (Newberry) and The Lexington Flag, Temperance Standard and Lexington Telegraph. These are the only newspapers that could be located from the Districts of Spartanburg, Laurens, Newberry, and Lexington, South Carolina, for the years prior to 1866. These notices contain the names of over 5,207 persons mentioned in these newspaper extracts.
