A review by amittaizero
The Counter-Revolution of 1776: Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States of America by Gerald Horne
3.0
Fear of a Black Planet
Though the language is sometimes repetitive and unnecessarily dense, this is a necessary study and a good primer on colonial era slavery. Horne makes a compelling case that the revolution was more about the preservation of slavery than the loftier ideals we're often sold.
Fear of Black vengeance continues to motivate white conservatives.
