Review # 1 was written on 2017-12-09 00:00:00 Zhengyu Duan Very serious analysis of slavery refering to trauma, history events and fight for rights. All concepts are applied on slavery in the US. Key-figures are mentioned and also lots of books that treated this matter.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-10-27 00:00:00 Mark Phillips I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author gets a touch repetitive at times, and occasionally feels as it'd the major thesis, that anti-jacobinism led to anti-ska very feelings, was more forced than it should have been, it doesn't change that overall it was an excellent book. Cleves is convincing if a little pedantic a times. Still, he comes away from it feeling that there was an ongoing belief system that fed all of these different mentalities that created what we think of as the ante-Bellum times.
