Early American Negro History and Slavery Realities
A condensed survey traces African slavery in the colonies from early raids and forced labor to the spread south with cotton, noting how northern states restricted or abolished slavery while profits and bias shaped daily life. It covers migration during World War I, economic progress among African Americans in the Mississippi delta, rising homeownership, and the grim record of lynching in 1919 with testimonies and statistics.
