    David Brion Davis

    The heart of the book looks at slavery in the American South, describing black slaveholding planters, the rise of the Cotton Kingdom, the daily life of ordinary slaves, the highly destructive internal, long-distance slave trade, the sexual exploitation of slaves, the emergence of an African-American culture, and much more. It connects the actual life of slaves with the crucial place of slavery in American politics and stresses that slavery was integral to America’s success as a nation–not a marginal enterprise.
