But at the beginning of the nineteenth century, after almost two hundred years of African-American life in mainland North America, few slaves grew cotton, lived in the deep South, or embraced Christianity. Many Thousands Gone traces the evolution of black society from the first arrivals in the early seventeenth century through the Revolution. In telling their story, Ira Berlin, a leading historian of southern and African-American life, reintegrates slaves into the history of the American working class and into the tapestry of our nation. Laboring as field hands on tobacco and rice plantations, as skilled artisans in port cities, or soldiers along the frontier, generation after generation of African Americans struggled to create a world of their own in circumstances not of their own making. In a panoramic view that stretches from the North to the Chesapeake Bay and Carolina lowcountry to the Mississippi Valley, Many Thousands Gone reveals the diverse forms that slavery and freedom assumed before cotton was king. We witness the transformation that occurred as the first generations of creole slaves--who worked alongside their owners, free blacks, and indentured whites--gave way to the plantation generations, whose back-breaking labor was the sole engine of their society and whose physical and linguistic isolation sustained African traditions on American soil. 650 0 $a Slavery $z United States $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Slavery $z United States $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Social conditions $y 17th century. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Social conditions $y 18th century. 650 6 $a Esclavage $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 17e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Esclavage $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 18e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Noirs ameÌricains $x Conditions sociales $y 17e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Noirs ameÌricains $x Conditions sociales $y 18e sieÌcle. 650 7 $a Historia da america - politica e sociedade (escravidao) $2 larpcal 650 7 $a Negros (em geral) $2 larpcal 650 17 $a Slavernij. $2 gtt 941 $a 24 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724051508.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305021634.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214024833.0 952 $l GLAX641 $d 20231201010714.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019025658.0 952 $l UPAX334 $d 20230104033605.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211005011408.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20210924012148.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006021736.0 952 $l N4AX745 $d 20180808035143.0 952 $l HYAX325 $d 20180623023647.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150922014804.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20140531010417.0 952 $l W7AX771 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UTAX314 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UTAX115 $m 306.3/62/097309032 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UNUX074 $m 306.3/62/097309032 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UDAX314 $m 306.3/62/097309032 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l SOAX911 $m 306.362 B51m $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PWAX296 $m E446.B49 1998 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PTAX572 $m 306.3/62/097309032 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OMAX631 $m 306.3620973 Be 7, m $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l O4AX446 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l O3AX572 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=679FE5422AF811DE8FDD3907A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IWVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
