Over the course of the Civil War, the U.S. federal gov ernment adopted an emancipation policy that became enshrined in the Thir teenth Amendment, ratified in 1865. In the war’s aftermath, northe rners and southerners reconciled through the conquest of the West, confr onting Native nations and colonists from other empires. These western pe ople also practiced diverse forms of bondage rooted in their own histori es, laws, and customs. Championing liberty under a reunified federal gov ernment, Americans had to consider their own histories of slavery as wel l as the varied forms of bondage they found in the West: What counted as slavery? Who should be liberated? Which practices should be ignored, to lerated, or even encouraged? Focusing on Indian Territory (what is now O klahoma), this talk examines how and why abolition and imperialism becam e entwined as the United States claimed moral authority over foreign peo ple and western land.
