Describes the condition and treatment of the slaves, as well as the economic consequences of their subjugation. Although focusing on the southern States, the author places slavery within a national context by examining the overwhelming political force of the abolitionist movement.

Few historians have more skillfully integrated economic with social, intellectual, and political history. . . . Pleasurable as well as instructive reading for anyone interested in the most fateful of our national crimes and the most fearful of our national crises. . . . [A] splendid book.--Eugene D. Genovese
