Even more importantly, Morgan argued that the development of the two were inextricably linked and interdependent since the very beginning. How could a situation like that even come about? Morgan argued that American slavery and American freedom emerged in the same place at the same time in seventeenth-century colonial Virginia. With a running time of 80 minutes, it is a very good approximation (in both content and depth) of a graduate seminar.Īmerican Slavery, American Freedom was published in 1975 and, in it, Morgan contended that the central paradox of American history was that the revolutionaries, who were so dedicated to liberty, maintained a system of labor that required the denial of liberty.
