Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into legal arguments made in the Georgia Supreme Court over the course of 45 years, from 1830-1872. These arguments formed the backbone of, and heavily influenced, the legal framework of slavery and freedom in the America of that time. The author places these cases in their historical context and illuminates the individuals who brought the suits, the lawyers who argued them, and the judges who decided them. The author considers the questions raised by the cases, their resolution, and their consequences. The book uses these cases as prisms through which to view the history of slavery, freedom, and the law.
