Title: The Deepest South
Subtitle: The United States, Brazil, and the African Slave Trade
First published: March 1, 2007
Description: "During its heyday in the nineteenth century, the African slave trade was fueled by the close relationship of the United States and Brazil. The Deepest South tells the disturbing story of how U.S. nationals - before and after Emancipation -- continued to actively participate in this odious commerce by creating diplomatic, social, and political ties with Brazil, which today has the largest population of African origin outside of Africa itself." -- From publisher description.
