About This Book

The author traces the origins and expansion of the Atlantic slave trade and its transplantation into colonial and Southern society, outlining economic, legal, and social mechanisms that entrenched bondage. He advances a paternalistic account emphasizing masters' tutelage, instances of manumission and colonization efforts, and varied attitudes toward emancipation, while critiquing abolitionist agitation from abroad and the North. The account links slavery to Southern labor systems, legislative responses, and national politics, and uses personal observations and anecdotal examples to explain how the institution shaped regional identities and political divisions.
