Disowning Slavery
Book •
Joanna Pope Mellish's "Disowning Slavery: How the North Betrayed Its Antislavery Ideals" examines the complexities of the relationship between the North and slavery in the United States.
Mellish argues that while the North officially opposed slavery, its economic and social structures were deeply intertwined with the institution.
She explores the ways in which Northern businesses and individuals profited from slavery, highlighting the hypocrisy and contradictions of the North's antislavery stance.
Mellish's work challenges the simplistic narrative of a morally unified North opposed to a morally corrupt South.
The book provides a nuanced and critical perspective on the history of slavery in the United States.
