What do you really know about the fight against slavery in America? We’re all familiar with the Underground Railroad and the Emancipation Proclamation, but the fight to end slavery was not some sudden movement that sprang up in the middle of the 19th century. As Professor Bell examines the different means and methods that Americans, white and black, have used to escape slavery, he presents the grand problems that animated everyone engaged in this great struggle. Should you fight slavery with violence? How do you convert moral outrage into political action? Whose responsibility is it to act? Although there are no easy answers, America’s Long Struggle against Slavery dares to ask these and other tough questions, providing numerous historical perspectives to allow you to form your own thoroughly informed answers.
