Description du livre
How did a nation founded on liberty hold millions of human beings in bondage for 246 years?
It began with a single ship at Jamestown in 1619. It did not end until Appomattox in 1865. In between lies the hardest — and most important — story in American history, and most of us were only ever taught a fraction of it.
If slavery has always felt like scattered names and dates — Jamestown, the Middle Passage, the Civil War — without the full human truth connecting them, Bound in Chains gives you the complete story of American slavery, from its first day to its last, told with unflinching honesty and deep humanity.
This is not a sanitized textbook. It's the lived reality of the people who endured it, resisted it, and finally broke it.
Inside, you'll discover:
* **How American slavery was built** — the laws, the lies, and the Cotton Kingdom economy that turned human beings into property.
* **The truth about resistance** — from everyday defiance to the uprisings of Nat Turner, and the courage of Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman.
* **How slavery pushed a nation toward war** — Dred Scott, the Fugitive Slave Act, John Brown, and the road to Appomattox.
* **Why slavery's long shadow still falls on America** — Reconstruction, memory, and the reckoning we're still living through.
By the end, you won't just know the dates of American slavery — you'll understand how it happened, who fought it, and why it still matters.
This is the honest, unforgettable history every American should read.
