Many-Headed Hydra, Chapter 9: Robert Wedderburn and Atlantic Jubilee

This is a fascinating chapter. Read it thoroughly.

Then, please read two of the texts below. All of these texts are mentioned or discussed in this chapter, and in most cases I've digitized them and made them available.

• Wedderburn, Robert. The Horrors of Slavery ;
• Thomas Spence, The End of Oppression;
• Spence, The Rights of Man;
• Spence, "Hark! How the Trumpets Sound".
  

Finally, read one of the following texts:

• David Walker's Appeal to the Coloured Citizens of the World;
• Thomas Wentworth Higginson, "Denmark Vesey"

Linebaugh and Rediker center on Wedderburn as a man whose experience with slavery led him to demand liberation for all working people. Please examine their discussion of Wedderburn, and make sure to cite (you don't have to actually quote) the three texts you have studied.

Length: 300 words, or a little more. Email to your group and to me.
