As the second college founded in Ohio, Miami University was one of the first institutions of higher education on the early national frontier and was founded more than fifty years before the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. This thesis asserts that Miami University was involved with slavery on both an ideological and financial level. The link between Miami and slavery is explored through the economic, social, and political histories of the early frontier. Case studies of students and administrators exemplify the multifaceted nature of slavery’s entanglements at Miami and show how the university contributed to and profited from enslavement through tuitions, endowments, and educational curriculum. This research reveals the complexities of slavery in early Ohio and evaluates the extent of Miami’s financial dependence on it. 2021-11-16 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami16370632065086 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami16370632065086 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
