ESSAY:
In his textbook Almost All Aliens, in the section of Chapter 1 titled “The Racial Moment,” Spickard says, “race is a story about power, and it is written on the body.”
Spickard goes on to say that in the United States, as a result of slavery, “subordinate status was written onto the Black body itself. Whites and others assumed that the people whom they defined as Black possessed particular character qualities and life chances, and that the people they defined as White naturally, by virtue of their supposed biological inheritance, were blessed with more positive character qualities and better life chances.” (Spickard, 19-20)
With this quotation in mind, answer the following question in your essay:
In the true story of The Lost German Slave Girl, as told by historian John Bailey, an enslaved woman living in New Orleans, Sally Miller, with the support of the German immigrant community, pursues emancipation via the Louisiana court system, based on the claim that she was a German immigrant girl who had been illegally enslaved as a child.
Essay Question:
What were the most important social factors in New Orleans society and legal factors in Louisiana slave law and court process that allowed Sally Miller to become a legally free woman? What role did Sally herself play in gaining her own freedom? Was Sally Miller the ′Lost German Slave Girl′?
