Description

From the very inception of the United States, few issues have been so divisive and defining as American slavery.

Even as the U.S. was founded on principles of liberty, independence and freedom, slavery advocates and sympathizers positioned themselves in every aspect of American influence.

Over the centuries, the characterization of early American figures, legislation and party platforms has been debated. The author seeks to clarify often unanswered—or ignored—questions about notable figures, sociopolitical movements and their positions on slavery.

From early legislation like the Fugitive Slave Law of 1793 to Reconstruction and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, this book explores the background of some of America’s most controversial moments.

Spanning the first American century, it offers a detailed chronology of slavery and racism in early U.S. politics and society.
