This work is the history of the enslavement of African Americans in North America stretches from the beginning of European colonization to the end of the Civil War. "Slavery in America" recounts this history, as well as the Reconstruction period that followed, by examining, chapter by chapter, many of its aspects: the slave catchers and their coffles in Africa, the crowded slave ships, slave auctions, life and labor on plantations, escape attempts and insurrections, and the Civil War and eventual emancipation.
