书籍简介

《奴隶国度》是所有美国人都应该读的书，它揭示了种族主义在美国独立战争中扮演的关键角色，让我们能够更清楚地看到我们的过去，建设更美好的未来。

1772 年，伦敦高等法院释放了一名来自弗吉尼亚名叫萨默塞特的奴隶，开创了结束英国奴隶制的先例。在美国，对这一重大决定的种族主义愤怒使北方和南方殖民地团结起来，并说服他们为独立而战。《奴隶国度》经过了细致的研究，通俗易懂，为我们国家的诞生及其走向自治的初步骤提供了一个鲜为人知的视角。

《奴隶国度》是对奴隶制在美国革命和宪法制定中所扮演角色的精彩描述，它对“争取自由的斗争”进行了全新的审视，这场斗争将种族主义嵌入了我们的民族认同，导致了内战，并在今天的“黑人的命也是命”抗议活动中产生了反响。

A book all Americans should read, Slave Nation reveals the key role racism played in the American Revolutionary War, so we can see our past more clearly and build a better future.

In 1772, the High Court in London freed a slave from Virginia named Somerset, setting a precedent that would end slavery in England. In America, racist fury over this momentous decision united the Northern and Southern colonies and convinced them to fight for independence. Meticulously researched and accessible, Slave Nation provides a little-known view of the birth of our nation and its earliest steps toward self-governance.

Slave Nation is a fascinating account of the role slavery played in the American Revolution and in the framing of the Constitution, offering a fresh examination of the "fight for freedom" that embedded racism into our national identity, led to the Civil War, and reverberates through Black Lives Matter protests today.
