- Synopsis
- George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other Virginians led the battle against British oppression and drafted the country's founding documents, yet they were also slaveholders. Morgan (history emeritus, Yale University) examines the tragic contradiction at the core of America, looking at the people and politics of the state that was both the birthplace of the Revolution and the largest slave holding state in the country. The book was first published in 1975 by W. W. Norton and Company. This reprint includes a new preface by the author.
