Bibliography
WHAT follows is not intended as a comprehensive bibliography of scholarship on slavery or of a specific aspect of that institution. Indeed, so vast is the literature on slavery that comprehensive bibliographies treating either the economic or social aspects of slavery would increase the size of this volume considerably. Rather, what is provided here is a list of those documents, newspapers, and census materials from which this work was drawn, in addition to those secondary sources, books, and articles that were most frequently consulted.
