Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II (ebook) pdf

[Denny Ates]

Slavery by Another Name is the follow-up to his acclaimed volume Slavery and American Colonization, which were previously released in 2021. In this book, Blackmon provides additional insights into the pros and cons of slavery, and how it affected the lives of millions of blacks in the antebellum era. Although Slavery by Another Name is Blackmon's take on the pros and cons of slavery, he does not dwell too much on the negative aspects of slavery. Instead, he tackles the good side, the lessons that one can learn from the experiences of slavery, and how one can move forward. One chapter in particular takes on how the pros of slavery can be applicable today, with the emphasis being on how black Americans are economically empowered today.

As was the case with Slavery and the After, the book is filled with beautiful illustrations of plantations and scenes from days gone by. I especially enjoyed the facsimile map of antebellum America, and how this served as a visual aid to Blackmon's presentation of the history and details of each chapter. Although I don't consider this book to be necessary reading for those who already know about the pros and cons of slavery, it is definitely one that should have on the bookshelf. It is definitely an entertaining read.

While this book may not make a huge splash with historians or slave owners, it will surely entice readers with its eye-opening insights and historical facts. I recommend that readers purchase this book after they've read other Blackmon books, such as Slavery and the After. That way, they will have a better understanding of the author's earlier works, as well as the overall subject of his historical works. For the purposes of this review, I have decided to include a brief synopsis of the plot of this book, as this became one of my most favorite reads in recent history.
