ABB Atlantic World Connections Event | Dr. Seth Rockman on Plantation Goods: A Material History of American Slavery 10/23

The industrializing North and the agricultural South—that’s how we have been taught to think about the United States in the early 19th century. But in doing so, we miss slavery’s long reach into small New England communities, just as we fail to see the role of Northern manufacturing in shaping the terrain of human bondage in the South. Join us Wednesday for an introduction to Dr. Rockman's forthcoming book.
