“That Blacks were largely noncitizens will surprise few, but it is important to emphasize the extent to which they were seen as anticitizens, as ‘enemies rather than members of the social compact.’ As such they were driven from Independence Day parades as ‘defilers’ of the body politic and driven from their homes by Sons of Liberty and Minute Men. The more powerless they become, the greater their supposed potential to be used by the rich to make freemen unfree. Thus, it was necessary to watch for the smallest signs of power among Blacks, and, since Blacks were defenseless, it was easy to act on perceived threats. We shall see this dynamic very much at work later in discussions of antebellum race riots, but worth considering here are the vehement and usually successful popular objections that at times also bolstered white workers’ labor market positions.”
