It is the portrait of the dark side of the American dream. Yet it offers an inspiring example as well - the story of how abolitionists, barely a fringe group in the 1770s, successfully fought, in the space of a hundred years, to defeat one of human history's greatest evils."--Jacket UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip062/2005031850.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0639/2005031850-d.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0725/2005031850-b.html UR - https://shibboleth2sp.gar.semcs.net/Shibboleth.sso/Login?entityID=https%3A%2F%2Fpassport01.leeds.ac.uk%2Fidp%2Fshibboleth&target=https%3A%2F%2Fshibboleth2sp.gar.semcs.net%2Fshib%3Fdest%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.vlebooks.com%252FSHIBBOLETH%253Fdest%253Dhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.vlebooks.com%25252Fvleweb%25252Fproduct%25252Fopenreader%25253Fid%25253DLeedsUni%252526isbn%25253D9780199726653 UR - http://lib.leeds.ac.uk/record=b3022568 ER -
