Probing at the very core of the American political consciousness
from the colonial period through the early republic, this thorough
and unprecedented study by Larry E. Tise suggests that American
proslavery thought, far from being an invention of the
slave-holding South, had its origins in the crucible of
conservative New England. Proslavery rhetoric, Tise shows, came
late to the South, where the heritage of Jefferson's ideals was
strongest and where, as late as the 1830s, most slaveowners would
have agreed that slavery was an evil to be removed as soon as
possible. When the rhetoric did come, it was often in the
portmanteau of ministers who moved south from New England, and it
arrived as part of a full-blown ideology. When the South finally
did embrace proslavery, the region was placed not at the periphery
of American thought but in its mainstream.
