The Price of Freedom: Slavery and Freedom in Baltimore and Early National Maryland Book
The Price of Freedom carefully examines how urban slavery, long neglected by historians, became an important step in the path from bonded to free labor.

This meticulous study sheds new light on free and unfree labor during the early national period.Read More
