Reassessing Slavery Myths Through Fogel and Engerman
The piece argues against moral justifications of slavery while challenging prevailing myths. It cites Fogel and Engerman to claim enslaved people in the U S South were productive, tended to have stable families, and resisted rebellion, with slaves in the hemisphere mostly concentrated in the U S by 1825. It notes postwar life expectancy and health gaps, and suggests pride in antebellum Black contributions amid contested victim narratives.
