Açıklama

Explores the efforts of American slaveholders to reconcile the intellectual dilemma in which they found themselves as supporters of freedom but defenders of slavery. Eugene Genovese rehearses the arguments that would define the latter portion of his career, offering a window into the mind of one of the most important scholars of the American South.
