This book follows the development of the US slave system and the abolition movement, from colonial times through to the Civil War. It draws from extensive primary and secondary source materials, including the author's own research trips to reconnect with places that figured prominently throughout the period. The author argues that as resistance to the institution grew, so did the slave states' paranoia about protecting their system, in turn galvanizing factions throughout the North and South. The author offers insightful analysis of the themes of freedom and unfreedom that ground the historical debate on the topic. This meticulously researched and compellingly written book will be an invaluable resource to anyone interested in the history of the United States, slavery, or the fight for human rights.
