Book Synopsis Slave Rebels, Abolitionists, and Southern Courts by : Paul Finkelman
Book excerpt: Reprinted from the Garland series: Slavery, Race, and the American Legal System, 1700-1872. The facsimiles of antebellum pamphlets in these volumes deal with slave revolts and efforts to help slaves escape bondage. Most involve rebel slaves and "slave stealers," others deal with activities of white journalists and divines that were considered inflammatory. "[The volumes in this series] belong in every library used for research, and in particular at all law school libraries. They will prove valuable to historians, lawyers, law teachers and students, and all persons interested in the problems of slavery and race in American experience.": William M. Wiecek, American Journal of Legal History 33 (1989) 187.
