The book assembles a remarkable portrayal of the day-to-day connections between, and among, slaves and their owners across more than two centuries of subjugation and resistance, despair and hope. Beginning with a chronicle of the origins of slavery in the British colonies of North America, the collection traces the growth of the system to the antebellum period and includes accounts of slave revolts, auctions, slave travel and laws, and family life. Intimate as well as comprehensive, the documents reveal the individual views, goals, and lives of slaves and their masters, making this engaging work one of the most respected catalogs of firsthand information about slavery in North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWILLIE LEE ROSE is the author of \u003ci\u003eRehearsal for Reconstruction\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Documentary History of Slavery in North America \u003c\/i\u003e(both Georgia), and \u003ci\u003eSlavery and Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e.
