What is the best book you have read on the slavity in the USA?

Question

I am interested in this topic very much...

Answer 1

"Uncle Tom's Cabin" is, of course, considered the classic slavery piece. I also enjoyed the "Autobiography of Frederick Douglass" and Alex Haley's "Roots". Then there's Toni Morrison's Pulitzer-prize winner "Beloved". A more abstract example, dealing with "slavery of the mind" would be "The Autobiography of Malcolm X". All wonderful books.

Answer 2

I assume you mean "slavery". The best book I've read is Reminiscences of Levi Coffin, who was known as the unofficial "President" of the Underground Railroad. I have also read The Slave Trade by Hugh Thomas, which is about the entire history of the Atlantic Slave Trade, but that book was painfully long and tedious. Some books that are on my bookshelf and my "To Read" list include Uncle Tom's Cabin, Bound for Canaan, All on Fire (about William Lloyd Garrison), and Up From Slavery by Booker T Washington.

Answer 3

Do you know why slavery really ended? Because the rich found out you could never force a slave to work as hard as a free man is willing to work to support and better his family.

Answer 4

Do you mean slavery? And, I could barely study that in high school, watch the color purple, etc. because it just is too sad to see or watch and know what they were going through.
