This work fills an important gap in the books of slavery's demise. Unlike other writers who focus mainly on specific time periods or local areas, Allen Carden reveals a thematically organized nationwide synthesis of emancipation. Freedom's Delay offers a comprehensive and unique summary of the process of manumission commencing in 1776 when slavery was a nationwide institution, not only the southern experience known historically by most People in america. In this level, the complete country is reviewed, and major emancipatory work - political, literary, legal, moral, and interpersonal - made by dark-colored and white, free and enslaved individuals are documented over time from independence through the ratification of the 13th Amendment. Freedom's Delay dispels many of the common myths about slavery and abolition, including that racial servitude was of little effect in the North, and, where it do exist, it concluded efficiently; that abolition was a white man's cause and blacks were unaggressive recipients of liberty; that the South seceded mainly to protect areas' rights, not slavery; and that the North fought the Civil War primarily to get rid of the subjugation of African People in america. By placing these misunderstandings aside, this book discloses what actually transpired in the fight for human rights in this critical age. Carden's inclusion of the cogent preface and epilogue assures that Freedom's Delay will see a significant place in the books of American slavery and flexibility.
