Many quotes from slaves, slaveowners, slave drivers. This is not the typical sterile history book about slavery. I've read a lot of history in my years and until I read this book, I'd never gotten a sense of what it really was like. An interesting sidelight is that the book was originally published in 1956. An excellent investment of one's time. ( ) 2093 The Peculiar Institution: Slavery in the Ante-Bellum South, by Kenneth M. Stampp (read 9 Aug 1987) This is a 1956 book on slavery in the ante-bellum South and is well-done, drawing on considerable research. It is sobering to again be aware of the fact that in our country less than 150 years ago a system such as existed in the South could be held to be defensible. An excellent book. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Prior to the Civil War southern slavery was America's most profound and vexatious social problem. More than any other problem, slavery nagged at the public conscience; offering no easy solution, it demanded statesmanship of uncommon vision, wisdom, and boldness. This institution deserves close study if only because its impact upon the whole country was so disastrous"--Preface. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
