John Adams, Slavery, and Race: Ideas, Politics, and Diplomacy in an Age of Crisi

Description: John Adams, Slavery, and Race by Arthur Scherr Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Providing the first full investigation of second U.S. president John Adams attitudes toward slavery, blacks, and the Haitian Revolution, this iconoclastic study illuminates the inner and outer worlds of Adams for scholars and general readers.John Adams was a Founding Father of the United States who not only played a key role in laying the foundation of the nation but is also highly regarded as a great speaker, thinker, lawyer, revolutionary, diplomat, vice president, and president. But was Adams an opponent of slavery and a believer in racial equality? The historical evidence points to the contrary.This book is the first to discuss at any length John Adamss views on race, slavery, and slavery extension by examining his writings, politics, and diplomacy. Historian Arthur Scherr, an expert who is uniquely knowledgeable about Adamss views on slavery, race, and the Haitian Revolution, reveals Adamss attitudes toward slavery and race in and out of office, spotlighting his views on slavery during the American Revolution, his perspective regarding race as vice president and president of the United States, and his opinions in retirement.Readers will be able to form their opinions based on factual documentation of Adamss statements and actions regarding the key events involving slavery and race during this period: the gradual emancipation of slaves; U.S. aid to Haiti, the only black-governed nation in the world, and to its Governor-General Toussaint Louverture in gaining its independence; and the U.S. governments decision to permit slavery in new states and territories formed from public lands such as the Old Northwest and the Louisiana Purchase.
