Dandara

Dandara was an Afro-Brazilian warrior of the colonial period of Brazil. She was married to Zumbi dos Palmares and had three children.

Described as a hero, Dandara dominated the techniques of capoeira and fought many battles alongside men and women to defend Palmares, the place where escaped slaves would go to live safely. Palmares was established in the 17th century in the Serra da Barriga, in the state of Alagoas, because it was difficult to access the area due to its dense vegetation.

It is unknown if she was born in Brazil or in Africa. When she was a young girl, she joined a group of Afro-Brazilians to fight against slavery in Brazil. She helped create strategies to protect Palmares. Dandara was known as a fighter, but she also had interests in hunting and agriculture. She planted corn, mandioca, beans, sweet potatoes, sugar cane, and bananas.

The people of Palmares, known as Palmarinos, produced tools for agriculture and weapons for war. They also worked with wood, ceramics, and metals. Initially, all of the activities and work of the Palmarinos was to create their self-sustaining community, but some did trades with villages and mills in the region.

Attacks to Palmares became frequent starting in 1630, with the Dutch invasion in Brazil. According to the stories regarding Dandara, she had an important role in making her husband cut ties with his uncle Ganga-Zumba, who was the first big chief of Quilombo dos Palmares. In 1678, Ganga-Zumba signed a peace treaty with the government of the state of Permambuco. The treaty stated that people of Palmares who had been arrested were to be released. Also, all those born in Palmares were to be free people, not slaves, and they were granted permission to engage in commerce. In exchange, the people of Palmares had to hand to the authorities runaway slaves that went there for shelter. Dandara and Zumbi dos Palmares are said to have opposed the deal because it did not end slavery. Ganga-Zumba was killed by one of the Palmarinos who opposed his proposal.

One of my fond memories in the Woodstock Women’s Emergency Centre was of a nurse who decided to escape from a violently abusive drunkard with her five children. She could work part-time but still had young ones, so cash would never be plentiful. She had worked hard to build a life that was wholesome and healthy for her children and she was determined not to give that up. Once temporarily safe in our house, she began to plot and scheme with other women in transition. She was determined. Against all odds, she found a farm house to rent in another part of the county. Then she and other residents arranged the “test-drive” of a van for sale at a local dealership. Without telling me (they thought it might be illegal and “the reputation of staff should be protected for the sake of other women”) and without telling the dealership (for obvious reasons), they drove to her former home, where her belligerent ex-partner was predictably passed out. In the dark of an Oxford County autumn, the women silently walked the goat, the piglets, the chickens and the cat through six-foot high corn stalks to that van, and moved the whole lot — plus hay bales and tools — lock-stock-and-barrel to the new farm. The women returned to the shelter, mission accomplished, but only after successfully returning the van — one serious car wash later.

Good morning! I hope you slept well and feel rested? Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day. Welcome to Too Much Information Tuesday!

Sir Isaac Newton died a virgin.

It is illegal to mispronounce "Arkansas" while in Arkansas.

Some penguins are prostitutes, offering sex in exchange for pebbles.

Once you fall in love, there’s no going back to just being friends.

A man once tried to rob a bank after paying $500 to a ‘wizard’ to make him invisible.

Cameron Diaz and Snoop Dogg used to go to the same high school and she bought weed from him.

Squeezing a man's testicles can kill him, due to the release of too much adrenaline.

In 2018, Munafri Arifuddin ran unopposed for mayor of Makassar, Indonesia. He lost the election to "none of the above".

82% teens don’t ring the doorbell. They text or call to say they’re outside.

Australian koalas are in danger of extinction because over half of them have chlamydia.

A man named Walter Summerford was struck by lightning three times in his life. After his death, his gravestone was also struck.

Emotional pain lasts for 10 to 20 minutes, anything longer is actually self-inflicted by over-thinking, making things worse.

In 2020, two men were arrested in Florida while carrying bags full of drugs with the words ‘Bag Full of Drugs’ written on them.

When a potential meteorite turns out to be just a rock, geologists call it a 'meteorwrong’.

The New York Museum of Modern Art has had a Mondrian painting hanging upside down for 75 years. They plan to keep it hanging as is.

In China, it’s illegal to reincarnate without filling in a government Reincarnation Application form.

The most recent winner of the Bookseller/Diagram Prize for Oddest Title Of The Year was "Is Superman Circumcised?" by Roy Schwartz.

The only difference between fog and mist is visibility: if you can’t see more than 100 metres ahead, it’s fog, not mist.

One of the best feelings comes when you realize that you're perfectly happy without the people you thought you needed most.

The sentence "Are you as bored as I am?" can be read backwards and still makes sense.

Vincent Van Gogh died penniless. He only sold one painting during his lifetime, 'The Red Vineyard'.

When you kiss someone passionately, their DNA will stay in your mouth for at least an hour afterwards.

At a restaurant, wash your hands after ordering. The menu is generally the dirtiest thing in a restaurant!

When the KGB tried to blackmail Indonesian President Sukarno with a sex tape, he is said to have been delighted and asked for more copies to be made.

When restaurants play classical music in the background, diners spend 10% more per person. When they play pop music, diners spend 10% less.

In 2020, a French man was awarded €40,000 by a court because they determined his job was so incredibly boring it had damaged his mental health.

John Harvey Kellogg, the co-creator of Corn Flakes, fostered 42 children but was so repelled by sex he never consummated his marriage.

Some of the stranger jobs listed in the 1881 UK census were ‘Turnip Shepherd’, ‘Gymnast To House Painter’, ‘Electric Bath Attendant’, ‘Examiner Of Underclothing’ and ‘Running About’.

According to a historical anecdote, a Neapolitan nobleman once fought 14 duels to prove that Dante was a better poet than Ariosto. At his deathbed, he confessed that he had read neither of them.

In 2010, a debate between the two candidates for prime minister of Australia had to be rescheduled because it conflicted with the final of ‘Masterchef’.

In 1986, two Russian pilots got into an argument over whether one could land the plane blind. Determined to prove he could, the main pilot shut the curtains and proceeded to land without vision. He missed the runaway, flipped the plane and killed 70 passengers.

In 2013, a 16-year-old girl cheated death and survived the tragic Asiana plane crash at San Francisco Airport. However, moments after the crash, she was run over and killed by a responding fire truck arriving at the scene.

To avoid US libel suits, authors will sometimes make sure to note that a fictionalized person has a small penis. For libel, it must be obvious the real person and character are the same. Men rarely want to prove in court that they are obviously the character with a small penis.

In 1940, a live broadcast of a BBC radio production of ‘Hamlet’ was so far behind the schedule that, before most of the characters had died, an announcer had to step in and say, “And there we must leave them ...”

Contrary to popular belief, Olympic athletes in ancient Greece didn't compete completely naked, they wore something called a kynodesme, a cord or string or sometimes a leather strip that was to prevent exposure in public and to restrict untethered movement of the penis during sporting competition.

Okay, that’s enough information for one day. Have a tremendous and tumultuous Tuesday! I love you all.

Stephen King's Children of the Corn Remake Trailer

Director Kurt Wimmer's re-adaptation of Stephen King's creepy short story, Children of the Corn, was shot just before the pandemic caused widespread chaos back in 2020, and was shelved shortly after. We recently learned that the movie is - finally - set to hit theaters on March 3 for an 18-day window before being made available on demand and digital on March 21, and the first trailer is now online. The new movie is the eleventh overall installment in the franchise, and once it’s actually released it’ll be the first movie since John Gulager’s Children of the Corn: Runaway in 2018. In Wimmer’s movie, which is said to have very little to do with King’s novel, “Possessed by a spirit in a dying cornfield, a twelve-year-old girl in Nebraska recruits the other children in her small town to go on a bloody rampage and kill all the adults and anyone else who opposes her. A bright high schooler who won’t go along with the plan is the town’s only hope of survival.” The new film’s cast includes Elena Kampouris (Before I Fall), Kate Moyer (“When Hope Calls”), Callan Mulvey (Avengers: Endgame) and Bruce Spence (The Road Warrior).

"A man of wealth": Samuel Packard, the Rhode Island slaver [part 2]

Notes

[1] Merriam-Webster defines a slaver as someone involved in the slave trade while the Cambridge English Dictionary says it is a person who sold slaves, Wikitionary it is "a person engaged in the slave trade" and Collins English Dictionary defines the word as "an owner of or dealer in slaves." No matter the definition we chose, it is another word for someone who is a slave trader.

[2] Wilkerson, Isabel. Caste: The Origins of our Discontents (New York: Random House, 2020), 17-20.

[3] This includes Zachariah Packard, my great-great-great-great-great-great-great grand uncle (see "Zachariah Packard: the slaveowner" along with mentions within "Chapter III: The Packards in Bridgewater," "Massachusetts tax inventory and two Packards"; "The story of Nathan Packard") and his children, Charles Chilion Packard, my great-great-great-great-great grand uncle who “had the ten slaves from the estate of his wife’s deceased first husband” in 1820, the Packards that lived in New England who were involved in that the region depended on a “trading system that serviced the wealthier slave-based economy of the West Indies,” which constituted an interconnected trade network.

Contrasting this is my great-great-great-great-great grand uncle, William Packard organizing “a petition asking the United States Congress to abolish slavery and the slave trade in DC," Rev. Theophilus Packard who is my great-great-great-great-great grand uncle, a dedicated anti-slavery crusader, Elizabeth Parsons Ware Packard, who is my great-great-great-great aunt in-law, seemed to scowl at her sentiments that slavery was a sin, along with William Henry Packard (my great-great-great grandfather) who fought in Louisiana during the Civil War and my great-great-great grandfather Lawrence Weber (not a Packard) who fought in a gunboat to stop Confederate blockade runners.

Furthermore, Reverend E. N. Packard (Edward Newman Packard of in Dorchester, MA), my great-great-great uncle, and Adelpus Spring Packard (my great-great-great-great uncle), a professor of Bowdoin College, both opposed slavery, while two Packards in Topeka, Kansas (Cyrus and Sarah Burrows) sheltered “runaway slaves”.

[4] Davis, Paul. "Buying and Selling Human Beings: Newport and the Slave Trade," Providence Journal, Sept. 2006, accessed July 12, 2021. Jay Coughty, as noted in the Journal of the American Revolution, noted that there were "no slave voyages departing from a Rhode Island port after December 1, 1774 and before 1784."

[5] Voyage 36601, General Greene (1794) via Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade - Database, accessed July 11, 2021; "Packard, Sam" via Enslaved: Peoples of the Historical Slave Trade database, accessed July 11, 2021; Jay Coughtry, The Notorious Triangle: Rhode Island and the African Slave Trade, 1700-1807 (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1981), 266; Ship Registers and Enrollments of Providence, Rhode Island, 1773-1939, Vol. 1, Issue 1 (Providence, RI: The National Archives Project, 1941), 390-391. See page 240 of The Notorious Triangle for the guide to the chart. I was unable to find an online copy of The Dutch in the Caribbean and the Guianas by Cornelis Goslinga, but I did find, with some searching, the Zachary Macaulay papers, 1793-1888, with possibly something here.

He owned the sloop Sally, schooners James, Enterprise, and Flying Fish, and Brigantines Betsey, Eliza, Louisa, and Dolphin. Ship registers indicate he was the owner of the Enterprise from 1794-1797, a schooner named the Federal from 1791-1792, the Betsey in 1800 with Nathaniel Packard, Jr. as captain, Eliza in 1803, Minerva in 1794, Juno in 1805, and Dolphin in 1792 (see Ship Registers and Enrollments, 136, 264, 297, 319, 348, 615, 745). Nathaniel Packard was recorded in 1777 to be captain of a privateer from Providence named the America.

Jay Coughtry even says that the "American slave trade from 1727 to 1807 might be better called the Rhode Island slave trade" because merchants from Rhode Island "controlled between 60 and 90 percent of American trade in African slaves." The same year this law passed, the Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade was founded in Britain by Granville Sharp and Thomas Clarkson, as noted by Reuters.

[19] The full name was "The Providence Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery, for the Relief of Persons Unlawfully Held in Bondage, and for Improving the condition of the African Race."

Also, in 1785, some "dogs were accompanied from France to New York by young John Quincy Adams and were shipped from New York to Mount Vernon in Capt. S. Packard’s sloop Dove," according to letters in August (also see here) and September 1785.

[25] The Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, otherwise known as the Trafficking Protocol defines human trafficking, speciically in article 3(a). I'm not the first person to note this, as Karen Bravo in Open Democracy compared transatlantic slavery and contemporary human trafficking, as has Stevie J. Swanson in the Florida A & M University Law Review, UN Office on Drugs & Crime, UN Secretary General in 2008.

Some, however, have rejected the comparison between the two, saying they are distinct, as has Emily Smith, Curator of Contemporary Forms of Slavery, International Slavery Museum, writing about this comparison.

The fine for violating the law is 100 pounds (and he violated it four times), while the fee for violating Slave Trade Act of 1794 was $2,000. The conversion of Rhode Island pounds to dollars was one pound to one dollar, according to information compiled here.

[33] Fikes also notes that "family history shapes who we and where we come from and what we have access to, today." She also criticizes White historians for sitting on information and only releasing it when they are comfortable to do so.
