We Took the Ferry

Thursday October 30, 2025 7:00 P.M. , Professor Seth Rockman, Presenter Plantation Goods: A Material History of American Slavery, is an eye-opening look at the economic interdependence of Northern manufacturers and Southern plantation owners during the 19th century. The author, Seth Rockman, the George L. Littlefield Professor of American History at Brown University, examines in detail how factory owners in New England, including brothers Isaac Peace Hazard and Rowland Gibson Hazard Jr. of Peace Dale, provided the material goods that maintained slavery. The purpose of the book is not to offer examples of Northern complicity in slavery, but to explore how that complicity might have appeared to the people who participated in it, and to examine how it affected the nation’s economic growth. The book was a finalist for the 2025 Pulitzer Prize in History. Professor Rockman will be at the Peace Dale Museum of Art and Culture on Thursday, October 30 to talk about his book. The program will take place in our Museum Gallery at 7:00 p.m. and will be live-streamed on the Museum’s YouTube channel. The program opens the Museum’s Fall 2025 Lecture Series and is free and open to the public. Watch Live Stream on our YouTube channel here:    / @pdmac6899
