Description
"Ira Berlin traces the history of African-American slavery in the United States from its beginnings in the seventeenth century to its fiery demise nearly three hundred years later." "Generations of Captivity is essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution and transformation of antebellum America. Connecting the Charter Generations of slaves to the development of Atlantic society in the seventeenth century, the Plantation Generations to the reconstruction of the colonial society in the eighteenth century, the Revolutionary Generations to the Age of Revolution, and the Migration Generations to American expansionism in the nineteenth century, Berlin integrates the history of slavery into the larger story of American life. He demonstrates how enslaved black people, through constant struggle, prepared for the moment when they could seize liberty and declare themselves Freedom Generations."--BOOK JACKET.
