Throughout the period, a growing reform movement stimulated Northern states to emancipate their slaves gradually and prohibit the importation of new ones, but simultaneously entrenched Southern slaveholders and politicians became more dogmatic and defensive as racism triumphed in America.  This collection of primary sources, including the complete record of slavery and the Constitiution's ratification, describes the transformation of white America's attitudes toward slavery and freedom from the idealistic beginnings of the Revolution to the harsh realities of postwar depression and nation-building.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50229671559441,"sku":"CIN0945612338G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51558230556945,"sku":"CIN0945612338VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0945612338.jpg?v=1751202439"},{"product_id":"essential-federalist-book-quentin-p-taylor-9780945612605","title":"The Essential Federalist","description":"Jefferson called The Federalist \"the best commentary on the principles of government which was ever written,\" and yet the text is considered lifeless and impenetrable by all but the most persistent readers.
