Check It Out
Enjoy the same liberty : Black Americans and the revolutionary era by Edward Countryman. Lanham, Md. : Rowman & Littlefield, 2012. New Books E269 N3 C68 2012. Check out this book for four weeks with your SWC photo ID card.
"Historian Countryman challenges the historical memory of the founding of our nation, one that presents a heroic portrait of white males and gives scant attention to blacks, most of whom were enslaved. He examines the contradictions inherent in the American Revolution and the ideals of the U.S. Constitution and its protection of slavery ... even as slavery blossomed in the same regions. [ ... ] Without the effort of revolutionary-era blacks, slavery might have continued unchallenged for a longer period of time in the U.S." (Review by Booklist)
