If you are one of the few people left in the world who still thinks the
South is responsible for American slavery, that Southern slaves were
routinely abused, that the North never practiced slavery, that the War
Between the States was fought over slavery, or that Southern slave
owners were feared and detested by their African servants, The
Bittersweet Bond: Race Relations in the Old South as Described by White
and Black Southerners, will be a revelation.
The author-editor, award-winning historian Col. Lochlainn Seabrook, has
compiled nearly 500 excerpts from early American letters, speeches,
articles, essays, stories, reminiscences, poems, and obituaries that
debunk the Left's many anti-South slavery myths while proving mainstream
history books wrong. Densely illustrated with hundreds of rare and out
of print images and photos, this timely work brings the long-silenced
voices of Victorian Southerners back to life, revealing vital historical
facts that have been suppressed by enemies of the South and the Truth
for over 150 years.
Seabrook's poignant, hand-selected, first-person accounts by European
Americans, African Americans, men, women, youth, and even several
Yankees, provide authentic details about Southern slavery, plantation
life, and the War for Southern Independence, as they were actually
experienced by 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-Century Southerners - both free
and enslaved. This enlightening authoritative work includes an index,
bibliography, endnotes, appendices, and a compelling introduction by
Col. Seabrook. Learn the truth now. Read The Bittersweet Bond.
