The history of slavery is central to understanding the history of the United States. Slavery and the Making of America offers a richly illustrated, vividly written history that illuminates the human side of this inhumane institution, presenting it largely through stories of the slaves themselves. Readers will discover a wide ranging and sharply nuanced look at American slavery, from the first Africans brought to British colonies in the early seventeenth century to the end of Reconstruction. The ... The history of slavery is central to understanding the history of the United States. Slavery and the Making of America offers a richly illustrated, vividly written history that illuminates the human side of this inhumane institution, presenting it largely through stories of the slaves themselves. Readers will discover a wide ranging and sharply nuanced look at American slavery, from the first Africans brought to British colonies in the early seventeenth century to the end of Reconstruction. The authors document the horrors of slavery, particularly in the deep South, and describe the slaves' valiant struggles to free themselves from bondage. There are dramatic tales of escape by slaves such as William and Ellen Craft and Dred Scott's doomed attempt to win his freedom through the Supreme Court. We see how slavery engendered violence in our nation, from bloody confrontations that broke out in American cities over fugitive slaves, to the cataclysm of the Civil War. The book is also filled with stories of remarkable African Americans like Sergeant William H. Carney, who won the Congressional Medal of Honor for his bravery at the crucial assault on Fort Wagner during the Civil War, and Benjamin Pap Singleton, a former slave who led freed African Americans to a new life on the American frontier. Filled with absorbing and inspirational accounts highlighted by more than one hundred pictures and illustrations, Slavery and the Making of America is a gripping account of the struggles of African Americans against the iniquity of slavery.

This Book is in Good Condition. Clean Copy With Light Amount of Wear. 100% Guaranteed. Summary: "This is a splendid study. It will make fascinating and indispensable reading not only for anyone interested in racial issues in America, but also for those who want to understand the nature of American culture itself."--Cass Sunstein, Karl Llewellyn Distinguished Service Professor, University of Chicago "Scholars keep trying to bury Louis Hartz and his claim that American politics is comprised of 'irrational Lockean liberalism,' but he keeps rising from the grave. This latest revival directly targets Hartz's inability to deal with racial hierarchy. Carol Horton shows clearly how Americans can be liberal, racist, and egalitarian all at once, albeit in different configurations during different historical periods. One may hope thatRace and the Making of American Liberalismfinally lays to rest the idea that Americans have to move outside their liberal tradition in order to accommodate their racial heritage."--Jennifer L. Hochschild, Henry LaBarre Jayne Professor of Government, Harvard University "Horton's path breaking book shows not only the centrality of race to the principal conflicts in this nation's history but also how those conflicts remain reflected in the contemporary political, cultural, and social map of the nation.Race and the Making of American Liberalismwill quickly become mandatory reading for serious scholars of American political development, race and politics in the \nited States, and American political thought."--Michael Dawson, Professor of Political Science, University of Chicago "Race and the Making of American Liberalismis an ambitious and deeply serious book. In traversing the last 150 years it scrupulously recognizes that American liberalism while being the defining creed of this country has never been a unitary constellation of ideas. It has often simultaneously defended racial hierarchy and nondiscriminatory social equity. Few books combine such theoretical nuance with such historical range."--Uday Mehta, Professor of Political Science, Amherst College.
