Bücher von Stanley Harrold

During the 1840s and 1850s, a dangerous ferment afflicted the US North-South border region, pitting the slave states of Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, and Missouri against the free states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Stanley Harrold explores the border struggle, the dramatic incidents that comprised it, and its role in the complex dynamics leading to the Civil War.

This work examines the movement to abolish slavery in the US, from the origins of the movement in the 18th century through to the Civil War and the abolition of slavery in 1865. Within a basic chronological framework it also considers black abolitionists, feminism, and anti-slavery violence.
