Curse Upon the Nation Lewis Kay Wright
From the inception of slavery as a pillar of the Atlantic World economy, both Europeans and Africans feared their mass extermination by the other in a race war. And yet, says Lewis, the historiography of slavery is all but silent on extermination as a category of analysis. In the United States, says Kay Wright Lewis, this ingrained dread nourished a preoccupation with slave rebellions and would later help fuel the Civil War, thwart the aims of Reconstruction, justify Jim Crow, and even inform civil rights movement strategy.
A Curse upon the Nation addresses both of these issues.To explain how this belief in an impending race war shaped eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American politics, culture, and commerce, Lewis examines a wide range of texts including letters, Moreover, little of the existing sparse scholarship interrogates the black perspective on extermination.
