I found the legal and business side fascinating. I never knew slaves could sue their owners. It was interesting. I thought this book did a good job not sugar coating the brutality of slavery but also not sensationalizing it

I didn’t know that Maryland still had slaves but sided with the union. They were paid for their slaves by the government

The business side of slavery was not something I ever knew about. It was a whole system and so intertwined with daily life

I thought this might be dense but it is easy to follow. There is a lot of information but it is fascinating
