#enslaved

Leading up to 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the Freedom Seekers project tells the stories of the #enslaved who escaped (at least temporarily) from bondage.

Each story begins with a "runaway slave" advertisement as a launching point, but expands the sources and perspectives through additional historical research.

A powerful way to illuminate the importance of #freedom.

There is a lot of talk about Haitian immigrants, thanks to #WeirdDonOLD and his #CreepyVP trying to stoke racist fear. So this is as good a time as any to remind Americans of a few #historical facts:
- When the #enslaved people of #Haiti threw off their chains and successfully fought for #independence, America (the first republic in the New World) refused to recognize Haiti, the second republic in the New World
- America finally recognized Haiti's independence in 1862,

Things weren't always so bad for women in #AncientGreece. In the #ArchaicAge, they had a little more freedom -- but not as much as women in nearby #Sparta or #Crete...

Women's Occupations in Ancient Greece

In the Archaic Age, young women “were apparently not kept in physical seclusion, and had a reasonable degree of movement” (Blundell, 69) but were still always accompanied by other women, and were #veiled.

As ancient Greece moved into the Athenian age, public institutions (with the exception of some religious ones), “were male-dominated and revolved around characteristically male activities – #politics, #warfare, #athletics and #drinking parties” (Blundell, 76).

The only choices women had were to be #enslaved, #married, become #hetaerae (#prostitutes), or hold “sacred service roles” [#priesthood] (Connelly, 31) – though most religious positions were hereditary or reserved for the wealthy.

But after that, women’s domain was pretty much limited to the household where “they were entirely responsible for the production of textiles” (Blundell, 71) and food preparation. The only time women could leave the home was to perform religious activities.

Too busy, could barely get started on yesterday's historical anniversaries (sorry, Battle of Mohács and Shays's Rebelion), but here instead:

"OTD 1765, the British official charged with administering the hated #StampAct was hung in effigy from an elm tree near Boston Common. ...Over the next weeks, the great elm emerged as the place in Boston for protest meetings. People of all classes — including unskilled laborers, #enslaved people, & #women, who were normally excluded from official town meetings — flocked to the "Liberty Tree" to post notices, hear speeches, & hold outdoor meetings."

In July 1844, #DolleyMadison transferred all the people she #enslaved to her son, John Payne Todd - a legal maneuver to prevent them from being seized in lawsuits. “Gabriel abt 50 yrs” was listed on the July 16 deed.
