Runaway America: Benjamin Franklin, Slavery, and the American Revolution
Waldstreicher attempts to link two gigantic subjects: Benjamin Franklin and slavery. While this pays off in the discussion of the final third of Franklin's life, the first two sections of the book feel a little forced. He does challenge the historiography with his argument that anti slavery existed prior to the Revolution, and that along with the final section make it a book worth reading, although the argument is dense.
