This book is surely an interesting one but in some places one feels that the author should have gone into a bit more depth. At times while reading the book I had to look a certain aspect of black history on the internet. This at first is not a problem but afterwards the frustration kind of builds up. The book mainly discusses the rise of the 'peculiar institution' from the start of U.S. colonization to its very heyday, this book helped immensely broaden our understanding of slavery in the U.S. Boles takes a very humane and objective view, avoiding the incessant preaching that usually surrounds this subject, allowing the facts to speak for themselves. By understanding how slavery impacted the economy and political institutions of the South, anyone interested in American, Southern or Black history will be immeasurably educated. And as a bonus, it is very readable and filled with interesting narrative, meaning you don't have to work too hard to actually learn something.
