Bøker av Patrick Rael

Why did it take so long to end slavery in the US, and what did it mean that the nation existed eighty-eight years as a ""house divided against itself""? Rael immerses readers in the mix of social, geographic, economic, and political factors that shaped this unique American experience.

In this text Patrick Rael explores the tradition of protest and sense of racial identity forged by both famous and lesser-known black leaders in antebellum America and illuminates the ideas that united these activists across a wide array of divisions.
