In this new and expanded third edition of Unburdened by Conscience,
Anthony W. Neal forcefully argues that influential historians have
been unable to offer a complete account of antebellum-era American
slavery because of their preoccupation with humanizing the
slaveholders. He charges them with concealing the full horrors of
slavery in order to present the slaveholders in a more favorable
light. By skillfully weaving together searing firsthand accounts of
courageous ex-slaves, Neal permits the reader to see slavery in the
United States from their point of view. Former slaves talk candidly
about the break-up of their marital unions and families and about
matters rarely examined in most American slavery history books,
including the slaveholders' legally sanctioned acts of violence,
their practice of slave breeding, and their rape of black women.
Through this powerful and compelling work, Neal gives a voice to
black people who endured American slavery and presents a sobering
record not found in most books on the topic.
