Excerpt from The Negro in Our History
This book was written five years ago and would have been published at that time, had not the high cost of printing during the World War rendered its manufacture too expensive. A few pages have been added to bring the work nearer to the present date, but the leading facts as set forth herein appear as they were originally written.
The purpose in writing this book was to present to the average reader in succinct form the history of the United States as it has been influenced by the presence of the Negro in this country. The aim here is to supply also the need of schools long since desiring, such a work in handy form with adequate references for those stimulated to more advanced study.
In this condensed form certain situations and questions could not be adequately discussed, and in endeavoring thus to tell the story the author may have left unsaid what others consider more important. Practically all phases of Negro life and history have been treated in their various ramifications, however, to demonstrate how the Negro has been influenced by contact with the Caucasian and to emphasize what the former has contributed to civilization.
The author is indebted to Mr. David A. Lane, Jr., who kindly assisted him in reading the entire proof.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich and often overlooked history of African civilizations before exploring the tragic chapter of the transatlantic slave trade. It sheds light on the diverse cultures and complex societies that flourished on the African continent, highlighting advancements in areas like iron smelting, art, architecture, and governance. The author then examines the rise of the slave trade, driven by economic forces and fueled by a distorted religious justification. The harrowing journey of enslaved Africans, from capture to the horrors of the Middle Passage, is detailed with sensitivity and historical accuracy. The book also explores the experiences of enslaved people in the West Indies and Latin America, including instances of resistance, cultural fusion, and even paths to freedom. The narrative underscores the resilience and adaptability of African people in the face of unimaginable hardship. Ultimately, this book offers a powerful testament to the enduring legacy of African civilizations and the profound impact of the slave trade on both sides of the Atlantic.
