Abstract
Abstract:Sally Ainse was an Oneida woman who purchased a large property in the Thames River Valley in the late eighteenth century. Ainse also owned enslaved peoples, including a Black man named Frank, who, along with Josiah Cutten, were included as part of the transactions when Ainse sold plots of her land to European American settlers. The intersecting stories of Ainse, Frank, and Cutten along a newly formed international border complicate narratives of settler colonial development. They highlight the complex relationships between settler expansion and racialized violence that help explain the region's shifting political landscape from 1780 to 1865, and, by doing so, illustrate the importance of local identities to settler colonialism.Abstract:Sally Ainse était une femme Oneida qui avait acheté une grande propriété dans la vallée de la rivière Thames à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Ainse possédait également des esclaves, dont un Noir dénommé Frank, qui, avec Josiah Cutten, figuraient au nombre des transactions réalisées au moment où Ainse vendait des parcelles de sa terre à des colons européens américains. Les histoires entrecroisées d'Ainse, de Frank et de Cutten sur une frontière internationale nouvellement formée compliquent les récits du développement colonial. Elles mettent en évidence les relations complexes entre l'expansion du peuplement et la violence racialisée qui contribuent à expliquer l'évolution du paysage politique de la région entre 1780 et 1865 et, ce faisant, illustrent l'importance des identités locales dans la cadre de la colonisation.
