Origins of American Slavery Freedom and Bondage in the English Colonies

Historian Betty Wood examines how traditions of American slavery actually began in the early British colonies before the enslavement of West Africans became largely accepted practice. Plenty of titles start history with a cursory overview of this period of time: Wood's is the only survey to examine the roots of European greed and prejudice which fueled the development of slavery in this country.Wood, Betty is the author of 'Origins of American Slavery Freedom and Bondage in the English Colonies', published 1998 under ISBN 9780809016082 and ISBN 0809016087.
