Based on sweeping research in six languages, Black Resettlement and
the American Civil War offers the first comprehensive, comparative
account of nineteenth-century America's greatest road not taken:
the mass resettlement of African Americans outside the United
States. Building on resurgent scholarly interest in the so-called
'colonization' movement, the book goes beyond tired debates about
colonization's place in the contest over slavery, and beyond the
familiar black destinations of Liberia, Canada, and Haiti. Striding
effortlessly from Pittsburgh to Panama, Toronto to Trinidad, and
Lagos to Louisiana, it synthesizes a wealth of individual,
state-level, and national considerations to reorient the field and
set a new standard for Atlantic history. Along the way, it shows
that what haunted politicians from Thomas Jefferson to Abraham
Lincoln was not whether it was right to abolish slavery, but
whether it was safe to do so unless the races were separated.
