Published in 1856, American Liberties and American Slavery is a provocative book that challenges the traditional narratives of American history. Drawing on primary sources and historical analysis, author S.B. Treadwell argues that the concept of freedom that is so central to American identity is, in fact, deeply entwined with the institution of slavery.
