Nearly as heated a debate as there has been about slavery itself is the memory of slavery. The legacy of slavery in America was too significant to be left to the black men and women who had firsthand experience with it, according to many. Too much was at stake. The American nation had made significant investments in slavery, upholding it for more than two centuries before putting an end to it in a brutal Civil War that claimed about a million lives and destroyed property worth billions of dollars. Indeed, the abolition of slavery increased its significance and heightened the conflict over how future generations should remember it. Something worse than slavery has been carefully written to bring to you the hidden truth about the American Revolution, The survivors of the middle passage, and the emancipation of slavery.
