Confronting the history and reach of slavery in early America, this work analyzes how slaveholding shaped law, politics, and national unity.

Through a powerfully argued narrative, the book surveys the rise of slavery from colonial times to the antebellum era, tracing its social and political effects in Massachusetts, the South, and beyond.
