  From
one of the authors of the influential bestseller The South Was Right!
comes Myths of American Slavery--an unbiased history of one of the most
controversial institutions effecting the United States.
Armed with an open mind and a wealth of historical
sources, Kennedy tackles the most common misconceptions and
misrepresentations about slavery in America. Indeed, one of the first
issues Kennedy addresses is the extent to which slavery flourished and
persisted throughout North America, not just in the Southern states. He
also reveals how New Englanders, despite their contemporary reputation as
uniform abolitionists, really treated slaves, before and after
emancipation. Other topics include indentured servitude; biblical,
Christian, and moral arguments regarding slavery; and how slavery relates
to modern race discrimination.
Far from defending the unjust practice of human
slavery, Mr. Kennedy calls for and contributes to a clear-eyed examination
of this ancient, and regrettably ongoing, worldwide injustice.
