About This Item
University Press of Kentucky, 2003. First Edition. Hardcover. New/New. 6x1x9. Brand new book and dustjacket. Red cloth with grey boards. In Kentucky, the slavery debate raged for thirty years before the Civil War began. While whites in the lower South argued that slavery was good for master and slave, many white Kentuckians maintained that because of racial prejudice, public safety, and property rights, slavery was necessary but undeniably evil. Harold D. Tallant shows how this view bespoke a real ambivalence about the desirability of continuing slavery in Kentucky and permitted an active abolitionist movement in the state to exist alongside contented slaveholders. Professional bookseller for 20 years. Orders shipped daily in cardboard bookfolds.
