America’s Bitter Past: Stories of Slavery and Family in the Old South

Journey back to the tumultuous era of slavery in the American South through the captivating stories of enslaved people, their families, and the white families who owned them. Set in Loudoun County, Virginia, a microcosm of the Old South, this book offers a panoramic view of life in the antebellum era.

Meet a cast of unforgettable characters: enslaved men and women yearning for freedom, masters and mistresses wielding their power, and free blacks and poor whites navigating a society divided by race. Through their eyes, we witness the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable hardship, the complexities of interracial relationships, and the struggle for justice and equality.

From the bustling plantations to the cramped slave quarters, from the fields where enslaved people toiled under the scorching sun to the grand mansions where their masters lived in luxury, this book transports readers to a time and place where the institution of slavery cast a long shadow over the land.

Delve into the economic, social, and cultural forces that shaped this era, and trace the legacy of slavery into the 20th and 21st centuries. Explore the ways in which the struggle for racial justice continues to resonate in modern America, and gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and triumphs that have shaped the nation’s history.
