DESCRIPTION
Lavishly illustrated with over 500 rare and intriguing images, a helpful world slavery time line, and a detailed index of significant historical figures, Colonel Seabrook lays out the truth about the "peculiar institution," a truth that has been nefariously suppressed for centuries by enemies of the South and more recently by the PC thought police.
Did you know, for instance, that Africa was enslaving her own people thousands of years before the transatlantic slave trade; that white American slavery laid the foundation for black American slavery; that Africa enslaved 1.5 million whites in the 1700s; that genuine slavery was never practiced in the American South; that both the American slave trade and slavery got their start in the North; that the American abolition movement began in the South; that five times more blacks fought for the Confederacy than for the Union?
Did you know that there were thousands of African-American and Native-American slave owners in early America, and that less than 5 percent of white Southerners owned slaves; that the Emancipation Proclamation did not free a single slave-and was not meant to; that until the last day of his life Abraham Lincoln campaigned to have all blacks deported to Africa; and that Jefferson Davis abolished the foreign slave trade before Lincoln did and adopted a black boy during the War?
These and thousands of other little known facts will astound, fascinate, and enlighten.
In support of his in-depth research the author provides hundreds of eyewitness accounts - dating from the 1600s to the early 20th Century - firsthand testimony clearly illustrating how American slavery came to be, how it was actually practiced, and how both European-Americans and African-Americans viewed it and experienced it.
With 21 chapters, nearly 3,500 endnotes, and a comprehensive 2,000 book bibliography, this well investigated yet easy-to-read work - the result of over 20 years of research - is a must-read for every serious student of American history, Southern history, and American slavery.
Every history book will now have to be rewritten. You will never look at slavery the same way again.

Reviews
This book was an eye opener and has caused me to change my views about the history of slavery. There were tons of information about American slavery I had no clue about before reading this book. I didn't learn any of these facts when I was in public school and university (from the late 90s to mid 2010s). Facts about how the North played a huge role in American slavery shocked me to be honest. I find it shameful that the mainstream media is still desperately suppressing these facts. I highly recommend this book. You won't think about the American slavery, the Old North, and the Old South the same way again.
