The Material Wealth Of Slaves In The South, India Daniel
The Material Wealth Of Slaves In The South, India Daniel
Symposium of Student Scholars
Since its beginning, enslavement of African peoples in the New World has been a topic of great interest. There are many different routes to go, in terms of researching that era and what went along with it. However, because of its extent and variation in different places, there is a great amount of information and stories that have gone untold.

When Parties Swap Platforms: The Changing Racial Policies Of Democrats And Republicans, Charles O. Boyd
