Descriere

Edward Rugemer's comparative history, spanning 200 years, reveals the political dynamic between slaves' resistance and slaveholders' power in two prosperous slave economies: Jamaica and South Carolina. This struggle led to the abolition of slavery through a law of British Parliament in one case and through violent civil war in the other.
