A Social History Of The American Negro (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169748552)

""A Social History Of The American Negro"" is a comprehensive book by Benjamin Brawley that explores the experiences of African Americans in the United States from the time of slavery to the early 20th century. The book delves into the social, economic, and political aspects of the lives of African Americans, examining their struggles for freedom, equality, and justice. Brawley examines the impact of slavery, the Civil War, Reconstruction, and Jim Crow laws on the lives of African Americans, and highlights the contributions of African Americans to American society. The book is a seminal work in African American history and remains an important resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in understanding the complex history of race relations in the United States.In Charleston, South Carolina, in 1822, however, there was planned an insurrection about whose scope there could be no question. The leader, Denmark Vesey, is interesting as an intellectual insurrectionist just as the more famous Nat Turner is typical of the more fervent sort. It is the purpose of the present chapter to study the attempts for freedom made by these two men, and also those of two daring groups of captives who revolted at sea.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
