	Examples of scholarly oversight of the Black Seminole slave rebellion, the largest slave revolt in U.S. history (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Comment: Elkins clearly was not aware of the 1835-1838 slave rebellion in Florida, or at least not aware of its scope, when he wrote his controversial and influential book Slavery.
		Had Elkins, Eaton, or Freehling been aware of the Black Seminole slave rebellion, it would probably not have changed their arguments, and knowledge today of the Florida rebellion does not contradict their lines of reasoning on slave insurrection rhetoric.
		Consider, for example, that many of the southern fears of slave insurrection that Elkins described as irrational were in fact realized during the U.S. Civil War, when thousands upon thousands of slaves fled to the North and joined the federal army to fight the confederacy.

		Sambo, as Elkins described him, "was docile, but irresponsible, loyal but lazy, humble but chronologically given to lying and stealing, [accompanied by behavior] full of infantile silliness and talk inflated with childish exaggeration.
		His relationship with his master was one of utter dependence and childlike attachment: it was indeed this childlike quality that was the very key to his being." Elkins attributed it to the special character of slavery in the United States.
		He was able to do this with conviction because of a second part of his argument: the introduction of international comparison into the discussion of the nature of slavery.

	Discriminations: Victims ... Of Victimization Theory
		It was a good suggestion, because it’s a good article, and it brings to mind a concern both broader and deeper than its focus on Title IX debates: the degree to which those who vigorously criticize oppression often portray the subjects whose interests they mean to support as helpless victims.
		Perhaps the most influential example of this phenomenom was the publication in 1959 of Slavery: A Problem in American Institutional and Intellectual Life, by the influential American historian Stanley Elkins.
		Elkins himself, by the way, was a liberal, and his analysis influenced many policy initiatives in the 1960s, not least of which was his friend Daniel Moynihan’s call for efforts to shore up the fl family.

		Regarding the role of whites in the institution, Elkins cared less about their economic motivations than their philosophical views, arguing that the lack of a true intellectual class or established institutions exerting moral authority prevented the United States from settling the slavery debate in a peaceful manner.
		To determine the effects of bondage upon the slaves themselves, Elkins compared them to Holocaust survivors and drew upon studies of mass psychology in the concentration camps, arguing that the brutality of slavery was much like that experienced by victims of the Nazis.
		Later historians, outraged by Elkins' comparison of slavery to the Holocaust, and his assertion that slaves were stripped of their native culture and reduced psychologically to the status of children, have succesfully disproved most of Elkins' conclusions.

		Stampp's condemnation of slavery seems gentle in retrospect, but Stanley Elkins' Slavery: A Problem in American Institutional and Intellectual Life (1959), published only a few years later, remains a forceful, if idiosyncratic indictment of slavery's devastating effect on the human psyche in its comparison of the peculiar institution to Nazi concentration camps.
		At the end of the 1950s, scholarship painted the institution as an unambiguous evil and portrayed the slave as its profoundly damaged, defeated victim.
		John Blassingame was among the earliest to challenge the Elkins thesis, with The Slave Community, originally published in 1972 and expanded in 1979.

	Common-place: The Common School: The Lion's Den
		To conclude our discussion of slavery, I distribute excerpts from Stanley Elkins's book Slavery (Chicago, 1959) in which he connects the institution to the concentration camps of Nazi Germany.
		Observations about the heroism of surviving slavery, the nature of community, a symbiotic religious culture that emerges, and the meaning of open and closed institutions are generated in this concluding dialogue.
		Viewing the array of evidence, students tend to argue that while the concentration camp was what Elkins calls a "total closed system" focused on extermination, the slave system was not closed since it afforded access to other places and often used spirituals to provide signals.
