Jim For Mr. Simkin: http://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue10_11/garner/ The National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) Collection Like the U.S. Steel photo collection, the NCLC collection is a set of linked images. The more than 5,000 photographs are linked by subject (child labor) and by photographer (Lewis Hine, a talented photographer who did investigative and photographic work for the NCLC). The photos document working conditions for children in both industrial and agricultural settings in the early twentieth century. The photos came to the Prints and Photographs (P&P) Division of the Library of Congress grouped by industry (e.g., canneries, mills, mines). All of the photos were digitized in 2003, and visitors to a collection Web site have the usual P&P Division search, browse, and preview options. Lewis Hine traveled across the country to take his photographs. We examined photos that documented work in industrial and agricultural settings in the Midwest and in other regions.

New Orleans' citizens traveled to Biloxi and the Mississippi Coast in hopes of escaping the yellow fever epidemics. Many of New Orleans' wealthy built large waterfront homes and traveled by steamboat to Biloxi bringing entire households and servants. Plantation owners from Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana built summer homes. Lopez, Elmer and Company became the first seafood cannery in Biloxi in 1881and by the end of the decade four additional canneries were established. These included Barataria Canning Company, 1882; Lopez, Dunbar's Sons & Company, 1884; E. C. Joullain Packing Company, 1888; and William Gorenflo and Company, 1886. The first cannery was the brainchild of Lazaro Lopez, F. William Elmer, W.K.M. DuKate, William Gorenflo, and James Maycock. This venture would take Biloxi into the next century. By the turn of the century Biloxi had become the Seafood Capital of the World. By 1910 Biloxi became the largest exporter of raw oysters by shipping over 15 million cans. In the 1920s there was more than forty seafood factories occupying the two cannery districts. The cannery owners also imported laborers from places like Baltimore and Louisiana. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just in case one forgot: http://www.pointsouth.com/csanet/beauvoir/beauvoir.htm Beauvoir is the retirement estate of Confederate President Jefferson Davis in Biloxi, Mississippi ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://theoldentimes.com/king_komus.html King Komus Pure Louisiana Cane Syrup, 1912 The Dunbars, Lopez & Dukate Company of New Orleans, Louisiana advertised King Komus Louisiana Cane Syrup, which the packaged and distributed to grocers throughout the South. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://harbor.passchristian.net/canneries.htm This plant was bought out by the Dunbar and Dukate interests of Biloxi who also acquired the cannery at Bay St. Louis.

Dunbar Molasses & Syrup Co. 3301 Chartres r. 2463 Esplanade av ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canadian Industrial Alcohol Company v. Dunbar Molasses Company: At the end of 1927, the plaintiff contracted to buy from the defendant about 1,500,000 wine gallons of refined blackstrap molasses, about 60% sugar, of the usual run from the National Sugar Refinery, Yonkers, NY. Delivery was to begin April 1, 1928 "to be spread out during the warn weather." The refinery that year produced far less than its capacity, less than a half-million gallons. The defendant shipped its entire allotment. 344,083 gallons, to the plaintiff. The plaintiff sued for damages, but the defendant contended that its duty was conditioned by an implied term, the refinery producing enough molasses to fill the plaintiff?s order. The defendant had no contract with the refinery. If the promisor is in some way responsible for the event, which makes performance of the promise impossible, justice does not dictate that he be excused. In this case, the defendant did not contract with its supplier to ensure usual production and he must pay damages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Which brings us to the subject of Sugar & Molasses. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.slaveryinamerica.org/history/hs_es_overview.htm Resisting Slavery At its heart, American slavery was a brutal system based upon physical force, threats, torture, sexual exploitation, and intimidation. Any black resisting overtly the orders of a slaveholder, or almost any white in the community, could expect immediate and often brutal retaliation. Few laws prevented slaveholders from doing whatever they wanted with their human property. Accepted methods of punishment for slaves included verbal rebukes, a few "cuts" with a stick or riding whip, kicks to the body, boxing of ears, confinement in corn cribs or tool sheds, branding on the flesh of the hand or head with a hot iron applied for 20 seconds, and mutilation of the body by clipping the ears, breaking legs, severing fingers, and slitting tongues. In some cases, slaves were forced to wear iron chains and even iron masks on their heads for weeks and months at a time. But the most common form of slave punishment was a severe whipping. Slave codes usually defined as a moderate whipping the laying on of 39 lashes on the bare back. In some cases, the whippings could be quite severe in number. For slaves who lived on large plantations, whippings and similar punishments were common, and few slaves escaped at least one severe whipping in their life. Here are three quotes from manuscript sources that suggest the extent to which floggings were commonly applied. "On Sunday last Adam was found to be drunk upon which I ordered him to be confined in the Bastille. Also ordered him 500 lashes next day in order to draw a Confession from him how he came by the Rum--which had the desired effect. He acknowledged having secreted a key when he was cook, by which he got entrance to the store on the low land and stole rum--ordered a large chain to be fixed to his leg, which he has carried until today; had it take off, his leg being swelled, as I intend carrying him up to Point Coupee, when I shall sell him if I find an opportunity." --William Dunbar, Mississippi Planter, November 12, 1777 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
