Description:Recent scholarship on slavery and politics between 1776 and 1840 has wholly revised historians' understanding of the problem of slavery in American politics. "Contesting Slavery" builds on the best of that literature to reexamine the politics of slavery in revolutionary America and the early republic.The original essays collected here analyze the Revolutionary era and the early republic on their own terms to produce fresh insights into the politics of slavery before 1840. The collection forces historians to rethink the multiple meanings of slavery and antislavery to a broad array of Americans, from free and enslaved African Americans to proslavery ideologues, from northern farmers to northern female reformers, from minor party functionaries to political luminaries such as Henry Clay.The essays also delineate the multiple ways slavery sustained conflict and consensus in local, regional, and national politics. In the end, "Contesting Slavery" both establishes the abiding presence of slavery and sectionalism in American political life and challenges historians' long-standing assumptions about the place, meaning, and significance of slavery in American politics between the Revolutionary and antebellum eras."Contributors" Rachel Hope Cleves, University of Victoria * David F.
