The Re Enslavement Of Black Americans: A Hidden History From The Civil War To World War II Slavery By Another Name: The Re Enslavement Of Black Americans From The Civil War To World War II

The history of the United States is often told as a story of progress and redemption, a narrative that celebrates the abolition of slavery and the triumph of civil rights. But as this groundbreaking book reveals, the reality is far more complicated. The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans offers a powerful and eye-opening account of the hidden history of how the legacy of slavery continued to oppress African Americans long after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Drawing on meticulous research and vivid storytelling, the author uncovers the web of laws, customs, and institutions that effectively re-enslaved Black Americans in the decades following the Civil War. From the convict lease system to sharecropping to the rise of Jim Crow, the author shows how white Southerners systematically stripped African Americans of their freedom and civil rights.

The book also examines the role of the federal government in this process. Far from being a force for justice, the federal government often turned a blind eye to the plight of Black Americans, and even actively colluded with white Southerners to maintain a system of racial oppression.

The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans is an essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of race and power in American history. It is a powerful reminder that the struggle for equality is far from over, and that the legacy of slavery continues to cast a long shadow over our nation.
