Inhaltsangabe

Slavery in the United States clarifies the institution of slavery in its
historical context. Filler avoids the all too prevalent literary attitude
of either treating slavery as an unmitigated nightmare from the past, or
regarding it as a way of life which warmly repaid slave and slaveholder. He
does not reduce the issue to one of fact and figures, nor does he inject
endless hypotheses and analogues. Rather, this finely etched volume
encompasses the human implications of slavery and its practices. It
emphasizes the distinguished and disreputable elements on both sides of the
slavery relationship, and in every part of the United States.
