Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book meticulously examines the history of slavery in America from its inception to the eve of the Civil War. The author steers away from the usual 'how' and 'why' of the institution and instead seeks to explore the deeper, darker motives and motivations of the slaveholders. He also challenges the reader to reassess the motivations, both apparent and obscure, of the North and of the Federal Government. In detailing this period of American history, the author reveals the complex and insidious ways in which slavery not only devastated the psyche of the enslaved but also corrupted the morals and ideals of the nation as a whole. Ultimately, this is a book about the moral decay that grips a nation complicit in an inherently immoral practice, and the harrowing consequences that stem from it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
