Description
In a deeply researched, wide-ranging book, retired journalist Ben McNitt tells how slavery shaped American politics--and indeed the American story--from the Founding until the Civil War, covering people and events that still resonate as the United States continues to debate its past as it relates to slavery, and the political and geographic contours of human bondage endure into the twenty-first century.
