British policies led to a stratified American colonial society with slaves on the bottom and white settlers on top. The divided society functioned through laws that imposed rules and defined roles of the respective races. This occurred in other colonies too, often leading to strife that continues today. Especially since World War II the United States seems finally to have been able to remove many laws and practices that had created barriers between races in the divided society. Appeals to legitimacy, such as by abolitionists and the Civil Rights Movement, were essential to change laws from support of the divided society to instruments for disestablishing it. Thanks to the rule of law - another important British legacy -- the U.S. is much farther along than many former colonies in making progress. By highlighting the history of the interplay of two fundamental concepts, the divided society and the rule of law, and briefly contrasting the experiences of other former colonies, this book shows how the United States has made significant long-term progress, although incomplete, and ways for this to continue today"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Slavery $x History. $z United States $x History. 651 0 $a United States $x History. $x History. 651 0 $a United States $x Colonial influence. 650 7 $a African Americans $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799632 650 7 $a Colonial influence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01352432 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Slavery $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120465 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Stanton, Thomas H., 1944- $t American race relations and the legacy of british colonialism $d New York : Routledge/Taylor & Francis Goup, 2020 $z 9780367823504 $w (DLC) 2019059941 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014958.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EA4BBDECC7F211EAB1F2873797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
