Slavery in American Society (Problems in American Civilization) Reviews
-
this book has many of the "classics" on the subject, but since this pulls from a number of books, the excerpts are exactly that, bordering on incomplete. this book is a little old, which is kind of funny when you remember that it's topic is history, and you're thinking it's dated material. haha! that is the most difficult part of history, explaining to others that it does change. new facts come up, but more importantly, how it is interpreted can change drastically over time. so what parts are left out, told, sources, can all change depending on who is relaying and recording their topic.
