- 1 Want to read
"The history of the enslavement of African Americans in North America stretches from the beginning of European colonization and lasted until the end of the Civil War.
Slavery in America recounts this history by examining, chapter by chapter, many of its aspects: the slave catchers and their coffles in Africa, the crowded slave ships that transported Africans along the triangular trade routes to America, slave auctions, life and labor on a plantation, escape attempts and insurrections, and finally the Civil War and eventual emancipation.
The authors capture the complexities and the extent of slavery and document the wide differences in the ways people reacted to this terrible institution."--BOOK JACKET.
