Slavery and Sacred Texts

Beschreibung

Using the debate over American slavery as a case study, Jordan T. Watkins analyzes the development of historical consciousness in antebellum America, showing how Americans' appeal to the nations' sacred and religious texts - the Bible and the Constitution - gave rise to a growing sense of historical distance.
