The narrative describes the appalling day-to-day conditions of the over 2,700,000 men, women and children in slavery in the United States. It demonstrates how even prisoners - in the United States and in other countries - were significantly better fed than American slaves.DocSouth Books edition.Enslaved personsSouthern StatesSocial conditionslocalSlaverySouthern StatesAfrican AmericansSocial conditionsEnslaved personsSocial conditions.SlaveryAfrican AmericansSocial conditions.326/.0973Weld Theodore Dwight1803-1895.1526891American Anti-Slavery Society.University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.Documenting the American South (Project)University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.Library.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781446903321American slavery as it is3769279UNINA
