Voices of Freedom: A Documentary History, Volume 2

by Eric Foner (Editor)

Eric Foner’s best-selling reader, the best value for the U.S. survey

Voices of Freedom is the only reader with a thematic focus on American freedom. The organization of this enormously popular, compact, and accessible primary source documents collection mirrors the best-selling Give Me Liberty! survey texts. Much more affordable than other readers of its kind, it is an exceptional value in print and ebook formats. The Sixth Edition features new selections that focus on issues of inclusion and exclusion and the question, “Who is an American?”

An intense biography of how slavery didn't really end in 1865 but kept going well into the 20th century. Worth reading.
