In August 1837\, a Georgetown resident sold Dorcas Allen and her four children to James H. Birch\, a District of Columbia slave trader. He trans ported them to the Duke Street pen\, and that evening Allen killed her two youngest children and was restrained from harming the others. In October\ , she appeared before the District Court in Alexandria and pleaded not gui lty by reason of insanity. Her case drew the attention of prominent white men\, such as then-Congressman John Quincy Adams and District Attorney Fra ncis Scott Key\, but remains a story largely unknown. This is story of Afr ican American agency in the most desperate of circumstances?when an enslav ed mother feels death is better for her children than life in bondage. Dr. Alison Mann serves as the Historian at the National Museum of American Di plomacy\, U.S. Department of State as a subject matter expert in the field of diplomatic history\, 19th century American history\, public history\, and education.

Join researchers and historical-performance sp ecialists Dominic Giardino (historical clarinets) and Dr. Chris Troiano (s erpent) to experience the music that underscored Lafayette's French Revolu tionary career.

There wa s perhaps no greater witness to this era of dramatic change than Gilbert d u Motier\, Marquis de Lafayette.

Even though the war destroyed the co tton economy that had long underpinned American slavery and fueled the sla ve trade\, Confederates used slave commerce to shape their experiences of the war\, whether to help them mobilize for the conflict or to weather the numerous crises it created. Some speculated wildly in human property to w ard off inflation or to buy shares in the slaveholding future for which th ey fought. Still others traded people to keep them from achieving the free dom the war offered. For those held in slavery\, meanwhile\, the surviving slave trade dramatically shaped the ways in which they encountered libert y\, yanking many back into bondage while inspiring others to risk flight. \n\nDr. Robert Colby is an assistant professor at the University of Missis sippi and is the author of An Unholy Traffic: Slave Trading in the Civil W ar South.
