Item Details
Description
Early Shipping Bill of Lading from the Rowland G. Hazard papers, dated port of New York, 1841. For 36 Rolls Cotton Bagging [known as Hazard's Goods] being shipped on the Ship called the Trenton now in Harbor of New York and bound for New Orleans. 7-3/4 x 4 in. on larger sheet. VGRoland Gibson Hazard (1801-1888) was a financier from Rhode Island who was early identified with the Free Soil and Anti-Slavery parties and was one of the founders of the Republican Party. His early connection with this party was so prominent that southern newspapers warned southern people not to buy "Hazard's goods." While in New Orleans in 1841-'2, though threatened with lynching, he obtained with great effort the release of large numbers of free negroes, who belonged to ships from the north, and who had been placed in the chain-gang.
