"It can be difficult for the modern student to truly understand how America could have supported slavery. This book provides firsthand accounts and personal stories from the people of the time, including runaway slaves, the daughter of a plantation owner, a reformed slave trader, and others. Through their words--some hateful, others inspiring--students will develop a fuller understanding of this chapter in American history." -- Page [4] cover.
