Often called America's "original sin," slavery is arguably the
greatest stain on the nation's history. From their introduction in
17th-century Virginia to their emancipation in 1865, unfree African
and African-American laborers contributed to the growth and
development of the country. Despite its pervasiveness, slavery
differed from region to region and era to era, and, in spite of the
horrors of the institution, enslaved people carved out lives and
created unique cultures and distinct traditions that enabled their
survival. The cultural residue of slavery remains with us today in
the modern United States, as Americans continue to struggle with
issues of race and race relations born out of the era of bondage.
Slavery in the United States examines numerous controversies
related to the history of slavery, including slavery and the
American Revolution, the Constitution and Bible as pro- or
antislavery documents, the transatlantic slave trade, colonization
of free blacks, abolition, slave resistance and uprisings, slavery
and western expansion, and whether escaping slaves should be
accepted by Union forces during the Civil War. This volume answers
any question high school and college students may have on the
conflicts surrounding slavery in this country and how they were
resolved.
