By the late seventeenth century, enslaved Africans would become the primary source of labor in America, especially in the South. While the North relied more on technology after the Industrial Revolution, the Southern economy was based on agriculture. Despite the aversion of many Northerners to slavery after the American Revolution, the demand for cotton and tobacco in the North kept slavery, on which the antebellum Southern economy was based, alive. In this book, students will read accounts about the lives of those enslaved laborers. Through primary sources, students will also learn about the laws designed to protect the institution of slavery and how the institution was dismantled. 650 7 $a Slavery $z United States $x History $v Sources. $2 sears 650 7 $a African Americans $x History $y to 1863. $2 sears 650 7 $a Abolitionists. $2 sears 650 7 $a Plantations. $2 sears 650 7 $a Slave trade $x History $z Africa. $2 sears 650 7 $a Slave trade $x History $z America. $2 sears 700 1 $a Sirimarco, Elizabeth, $d 1966- $e author. $4 aut 800 1 $a Sebree, Chet'la $t America's story. 941 $a 1 952 $l P1AX906 $d 20230620011955.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8AEF2C10BCF511EAA1925DFC96128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
