New book reclaims slavery record with data driven claims
A two volume study Time on the Cross by economists Robert W. Fogel and Stanley L. Engerman challenges traditional views of slavery. They argue slavery was a growth industry, slaves were efficient workers, families stayed intact, and slave women largely avoided sexual exploitation. The work, based on 18 years of research, sparks heated scholarly debate among historians and economists alike.
