Description: "This book ... is not so much a history of slavery in the Northeast as it is a historical study of the building of American culture .... "The geographical scope of this study is nominally 'New England,' but areas encompassing the present states of Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire (excluding Rockingham County) receive scant attention because in the 1700s these areas lacked significant black populations. ... the areas of greatest attention--Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts ..."Introd., p.
