Don't miss two fascinating articles in the current number of the Journal of
Southern History:
One traces the process by which Virginians drove the Nanzatico tribe off
its lands and into forced enslavement in Antigua - a story with
fascinating parallels to the similar tale of 1760s attack on Indian lands
in Dutchess County NY that this year's Freeman Scholar at UofR, Jim
Merrell, described in an interesting lecture yesterday.
The other suggests that the very early pro-slavery arguments of William
Graham (president of Washington College, now W&L) and other
Princeton-trained Presbyterians were assisted by the separation of church
and state.
