Summary
When we think of slavery, we don't usually think of the North, of the grueling labor of urban and domestic slaves. Rachel May's rich new book explores the far reach of slavery, from New England to the Caribbean, the role it played in the growth of mercantile America, and the bonds between the agrarian south and the industrial north in the antebellum era--all through the discovery of a remarkable quilt. [Also published as, Stitches in Time: Family and Slavery in Mercantile America.] 2017, 2018
