THEY WERE HER PROPERTY: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South

This book is based on research and fact, but it is quite readable and tells the stories of individual people. It's a real eye opener - and heartbreaker.

This book is an addendum to a vast academic well of knowledge of the Southern slave system in place in the antebelum South. It also sheds light on what role the northern states played in the perpetuation of the slave system.

A great read if you interested in empowering your conversation.

Recht gut zu lesen, bietet neue Einsichten.

This book was discovered by accident as a viewer on Instagram mentioned it. They Were Her Property was needed for research and for sculptures being created about slavery. The first chapter is riveting, and though a academic read, it is still approachable. Very glad it was available.
