Summary

Following the abolition of slavery in New England, white citizens seemed to forget that it had ever existed there. Drawing on a wide array of primary sources -- from slaveowners' diaries to children's daybooks to racist broadsides -- Joanne Pope Melish reveals not only how northern society changed but how its perceptions changed as well.
