Coming Soon Defeating Slavery by Nancy Spannaus Defeating Slavery takes on two of today’s prevalent assertions about slavery. First, I challenge the current popular insistence that the commitment to slavery was integral to American identity. I document the depth and pre-eminence of the American anti-slavery movement, starting in the 18th century and growing to a peak during the Revolutionary era. The fight against slavery by persons of all races was integral to our Revolution, and never died. Second, I counter the idea that the extraordinary economic progress of the United States was based on the wealth allegedly created by the slave economy. As the advocates of Hamilton’s economic system insisted, our prosperity depended upon freeing ourselves from economic colonialism. The advances in our economy occurred despite the continuation of chattel slavery, which was a source of backwardness and impoverishment.
