Neuware - Overwhelming evidence against the historical view of slavery as a benevolent 'peculiar institution'Posting what he called 'a most deadly array of facts,' Frederic Bancroft exploded deeply entrenched myths about antebellum slavery when Slave Trading in the Old South was first published in 1931. As fresh and informative today as it was then, the classic study returns to print, giving a new generation of historians, students, and history enthusiasts access to Bancroft's pioneering examination of the domestic slave trade.Drawing largely on research that could not be duplicated today--correspondence with individuals involved in the slave trade and interviews with former slaves--Bancroft exposed the commercial aspects of the enterprise, including the 'breeding' and 'rearing' of slaves for future sale to western states and territories, the separation of slave families, and the profitability of the practice.
