Documenting multiple aspects of slavery and its development in
North America, this collection provides more than one hundred
excerpts from personal accounts, songs, legal documents, diaries,
letters, and other written sources. The book assembles a remarkable
portrayal of the day-to-day connections between, and among, slaves
and their owners across more than two centuries of subjugation and
resistance, despair and hope. Beginning with a chronicle of the
origins of slavery in the British colonies of North America, the
collection traces the growth of the system to the antebellum period
and includes accounts of slave revolts, auctions, slave travel and
laws, and family life. Intimate as well as comprehensive, the
documents reveal the individual views, goals, and lives of slaves
and their masters, making this engaging work one of the most
respected catalogs of firsthand information about slavery in North
America.
