Summary
'If it is possible to understand the American paradox, the marriage of slavery and freedom, Virginia is surely the place to begin,' writes Edmund S. Morgan in American Slavery, American Freedom, a study of the tragic contradiction at the core of America. Morgan finds the key to this central paradox in the people and politics of the state that was both the birthplace of the revolution and the largest slaveholding state in the country. With a new introduction. Winner of the Francis Parkman Prize and the Albert J. Beveridge Award.

Thought provoking for sure. Virginia's history and its relationship between dealing with poverty or the poor, AND racism is made out to be systemic. At the beginning the narrator's bias to this means, was totally clear. As the book continued this bias became more understood with more and more facts. I would recommend reading.
