Rhode Island, founded by those escaping persecution, ironically
had the largest enslaved population in all of New England during
the 18th century.
A new interpretive 10-page booklet addressing this paradox —
"Rhode Island and the African Slave Trade: John Brown and the
Colonial Economy of Slavery" — was released by the Rhode Island
Historical Society on Aug. 28, the 40th anniversary of the March
on Washington.
The booklet's publication "is another important step forward in
acknowledging the full, complex human history" of John Brown,
said Bernard Fishman, executive director of the Historical
Society, during an event held last Thursday at the John Brown
House. "Some of the soul of Rhode Island exists in (John
Brown's) house, and it is stained at the root," he added.
It describes how John Brown, a prominent Providence merchant and
congressman, not only participated in the African slave trade
but protected and defended it. John Brown was brother to
Nicholas Brown, the University's namesake. Although Nicholas was
involved in the slave trade, he left it after several debacles.
John Brown, however, remained a staunch advocate. Even after
slave trading was banned from American ports, he continued to
embark on voyages and became the first American to go to trial
for disobeying this law.
The booklet also illustrates the prominence of slavery in Rhode
Island. Most of the goods Rhode Island traded in the South and
West Indies were grown by slaves on plantations in southern
Rhode Island.
Even abolitionists were forced to use products somehow tainted
by slavery. Moses Brown, brother to John and Nicholas and avid
abolitionist, invested in a textile factory that used cotton
grown by slaves, according to the booklet.
In 1755, about 11.5 percent of Rhode Island's population was
black, most of which were slaves. Large farms developed due to
the rich soil and temperate climate, creating a demand for
slaves.
Mayor David Cicilline '83 said the project "represents a new
city," one that is "inclusive, thoughtful, honest." He said he
hoped "fewer people will be ignorant about this history after
this project."

Notes from Betty Mayer:
I have a letter from Kansas notifying that George Ward was
killed by unknown persons in the woods....it has been said by
Pinn Indians.... but letter does not say that....his family is
with Rev. Mack in Maysville, Ark.....this letter is dated
November 25, 1862....from Col. of Missouri Calvary to
Headquarters in St. Louis.....stating that he had died and his
family was with the Rev. Mack."
