Between 1829 and 1841 white northerners had been rising up against their
most successful African American neighbors, burning and destroying
churches, businesses, schools, orphanages, meetings halls, farms, and
entire communities. These were highly organized actions instigated by
some of the most wealthy and most educated white citizens in the North.
As a white gentleman in the pretty rural village of Canterbury,
Connecticut, wrote in 1833, “the colored people can never rise from
their menial condition in our country; they ought not to be permitted to
rise here.” He wrote this after white members of his community tried to
burn down an elite private academy for African American girls, while the
students slept inside.
