In Search of Sea Shanties, Work Songs of The Sea
This month's edition ( March, 2001 ) gave us a sampling of some American as well as European popular songs about the sea, boats and ships. Those songs represent popular composer's imagination and visions of the sea and its attraction. In our continuing search for the origins of American popular music, a look at the original songs of the sea will give us some insight into one category of traditional or folk song that has had a significant effect on popular music; the work song and more specifically for this month, the sea shanty. Work songs were/are folk songs sung by laborers, usually to accompany the work they are performing. I think we can all relate to the idea of "whistle while you work". The work song is the vocal equivalent and the documented work song tradition goes back at least to the 18th century and probably well beyond. Of all the categories of work songs, perhaps none are as well known and colorful as the sea shanty. The English language sea shanty flourished from around 1810 to the end of the 19th century. Despite the primary period of popularity, shanties continued to be used well into the 20th century and there are documented examples of shanties from as early as the 15th century. The rise of the sea shanty coincided with the end of the War of 1812 with the reinvigoration of the British and growth of the American merchant marine services. The rapid expansion of the American merchant marine presented a challenge to the previously dominant British trade. Prior to then, the lack of competition resulted in a rather leisurely pace of operation. During those years (pre 1815), singing was even prohibited on British ships.

http://www.atsweb.neu.edu/longroad/01slavery/fsl.htm
Boston Courthouse
The federal Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 required residents in free states to aid legal authorities in apprehending runaway slaves. Those who assisted escaping slaves faced a $1000 fine (an enormous sum at that time), six months in jail and possible charges of treason for defying the law.
The Fugitive Slave Law also established a separate judicial system to process accused fugitive slaves. Ignoring ordinary legal rules and procedures, the system favored slave owners, leaving every free or enslaved African American without basic Constitutional rights. This total denial of freedom and legal protection enraged Northern whites, even those without firm antislavery convictions.
Abolitionists and ordinary citizens organized committees, raised funds, assisted the Underground Railroad and rebelled against the government to rescue and protect accused African Americans. Attorneys tried using the legal system, but only defiance of the law and the legendary Underground Railroad offered effective means of gaining justice.
Boston Resistance
With the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law, Boston became a center of resistance. African American activists, including Lewis Hayden, a member of the Boston Vigilance Committee and a conductor on the Underground Railroad, stormed a Boston courtroom. They rescued the fugitive slave

DANA, Richard Henry
Born: 1815, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States Died: January 6, 1882, in Rome, Italy Richard Henry Dana was the namesake of his father who was a critic and editor. Dana began studies at Harvard University but was forced to withdraw from studies as the result of an eye affliction. Upon leaving school he found work aboard a sailing ship. Work on the ship, the Pilgrim , took him on a two year voyage around the Cape Horn to California and Oregon. When he returned, he recounted the story in his book Two Years Before the Mast , published in 1840. His account of the conditions aboard the ship were so vivid and accurate that they motivated legislators to address issues to improve the working conditions of seamen. In addition, his work went on to further influence other maritime writers. In 1841, he published The Seaman's Friend . It described the rights and responsibilities of a sailor and included a section on Maritime law. This handbook was highly regarded in both America and England and was the standard against which any subsequent handbook was judged. Dana eventually returned to Harvard, finished his degree and entered law school. After graduation, he began a practice specializing in Maritime law. In 1866, Dana wrote a commentary on Henry Wheaton's
