AMERICAN INHERITANCE: Liberty and Slavery in the Birth of a Nation, 1765-1795
A powerful history that reveals how the twin strands of liberty and slavery were joined in the nation's founding. With slavery thriving in Britain's Caribbean empire and practiced in all of the American colonies, the independence movement's calls for liberty proved narrow, though some Black observers and others made their full implications clear. Photos.
