Soft Cover. Condizione: Fine. First Edition. Signed by Lochlainn Seabrook at half-title page: "Blessings, Seabrook". Stated Second Printing, July, 2015. Pictorial wraps, slight shelf wear. Pages fine. Bind fine. Lavishly illustrated with over five hundred rare and intriguing images demonstrating an informative time-line of slavery from around the world. Colonel Seabrook lays out a truth that has been suppressed for centuries and more recently skewed by the hypocritical and politically motivated narrative of 'establishment' media, movies, and partial education. Many regions of Africa were enslaving humans thousands of years before the trans-Atlantic slave trade began. The trans-Atlantic Ocean trade brought Africans to the American continents. Most are not aware that: American slavery of white Europeans laid the foundation for American slavery of Africans; Africa enslaved over a million Europeans in the 18th century; genuine slavery was never practiced in the American South; that before 1820, no free Africans were brought to America, only those that were already slaves in their native Africa; that both the American slave trade and slavery got their start in the North, not the South; that the American abolition movement began in the South; and, by choice, five times more blacks fought for the Confederacy than for the Union. There were thousands of African-American and Native American slave owners in early America. Less than 5% - some argue 2% as head of the plantation - of white Southerners owned slaves. Jefferson Davis abolished the foreign slave trade before Lincoln did, and also adopted a black boy during the War. These and thousands of other little known facts will astound, fascinate, and enlighten. The author presents hundreds of eyewitness accounts - dating from the 17th to the early 20th Century - first hand testimony clearly illustrating how American slavery came to be, how it was actually practiced, and how both European-Americans and African-Americans viewed it and experienced it. With 21 chapters, nearly 3,500 endnotes, and a comprehensive 2,000 book bibliography, this thoroughly investigated, yet easily digestible work is essential American history. Includes a detailed index of historical figures. 1,019 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall. Signed by Author.…
