Even as the U.S. was founded on principles of liberty, independence and freedom, slavery advocates and sympathizers positioned themselves in every aspect of American influence. Over the centuries, the characterization of early American figures, legislation and party platforms has been debated. The author seeks to clarify often unanswered--or ignored--questions about notable figures, sociopolitical movements and their positions on slavery. From early legislation like the Fugitive Slave Law of 1793 to Reconstruction and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, this book explores the background of some of America's most controversial moments. Spanning the first American century, it offers a detailed chronology of slavery and racism in early U.S. politics and society."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Slavery $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Racism $x History. $z United States $x History. 651 0 $a United States $x History. $x Political aspects $x History. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1775-1783. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1783-1865. 650 0 $a Slavery $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Race relations $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086519 650 7 $a Racism $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086627 650 7 $a Slavery $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120450 650 7 $a Slavery $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120480 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1775-1865 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a West, Ken, $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200505015828.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=58A02F608E9811EAB83BD64B97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
