This book begins with a provocative paradox: George Fitzhugh of Virginia, one of the most eloquent defenders of Southern chattel slavery, appealed to a New York abolitionist for support. In a three part study, Cunliffe explores the context of chattel and wage slavery in Britain and the United States.
