Many Thousands Gone: The First Two Centuries of Slavery in North America Paperback - 2000
by Ira Berlin
"Ira Berlin provides a sweeping survey of slavery and black life in North America . . . from the early 17th into the early 19th century. The result is the best general history we now have of the 'peculiar institution' during its first 200 years."--George M. Fredrickson, "New York Times Book Review." Maps & woodcuts.
From the rear cover
Many Thousands Gone traces the evolution of black society from the first arrivals in the early seventeenth century through the American Revolution. Laboring as field hands on tobacco and rice plantations, as skilled artisans in port cities, or as soldiers along the frontier, generation after generation of black slaves struggled to create a world of their own in circumstances not of their own making. In a panoramic view that stretches from the North to the Chesapeake Bay and Carolina low country to the Mississippi Valley, Berlin reveals the diverse forms that slavery and freedom assumed before cotton wa king.
