1827: After the emancipation of New York slaves, free blacks flood the city’s infamous Five Points neighborhood (Anthony, Orange and Cross streets), joining the unskilled Irish. In the Old Brewery building, blacks with white wives jam the cellar compartments. Their children mostly stay indoors, fearing they will be snatched by kidnappers and thrown aboard boats headed for the South.
1830: In Virginia, a slave named Peggy and her black mate, Patrick, kill their master and burn his house. Peggy claims that when she refused her master’s sexual advances, she was chained to a lock and kept in a meat house. At her trial, she claims she refused the man’s advances because he was her father.
