How did the founding of the United States entwine with the institution of enslavement? In capturing both a sweeping picture of the three pivotal decades in the 18th century, as well as key moments in time, and in encompassing the voices of enslaved and free Black men and women, Edward J. Larson, author of American Inheritance: Liberty and Slavery in the Birth of a Nation, 1765-1795, grapples with questions that have seen renewed spotlight and focus by other historians and journalists.
