Emancipation - freeing the slaves - hell? The Emancipation Proclamation - one of the sacred icons of American history - a tragedy? How can this be?
That was the opinion of Frederick Douglass, the most important African American leader of the 19th century, who proclaimed, "I denounce the so-called Emancipation."
Douglass wrote "I admit that the Negro...has made little progress from barbarism to civilization, and that he is in a deplorable condition since his emancipation. That he is worse off in many respects, than when he was a slave, I am compelled to admit..."
Indeed, social statistics of 1900 indicate that material quality of life was lower for most black Americans than under slavery.
Kirkpatrick Sale marshals much forgotten evidence to cast this glorious part of American history in a realistic and critical light. Emancipation, yes. But as a military measure during a cruel war of invasion?
Slavery once existed throughout the western hemisphere, but almost everywhere except the United States, it ended peacefully. Emancipation with no thought or plan for the unprecedented situation to be managed? With no real sympathy or interest in the people freed except their usefulness in controlling and exploiting the conquered South? (Some Northern leaders denounced the Proclamation as an atrocity and an estimated 200,000 Northerners deserted or evaded service in a war for African Americans rather than for the "Union.")
Perhaps never in history, Kirkpatrick Sale demonstrates, has a benevolent act been so tainted with impure motives and disdain of consequences.
Abraham Lincoln has a lot to answer for, says the author. His flawed proclamation doomed Americans to a century and a half of racial conflict and disparity that is still with us.

Good quick version of the effects of the "faux" Emancipation Proclamation and the evils of reconstruction. The only thing I take issue with is at the end where he talks about blacks still living in poverty. This is not only due to slavery, reconstruction, and Jim Crow but also to lower IQ levels. Look at the poverty and low education in African nations. In Europe, a few hundred years ago, people were building great cites, castles, cathedrals, science, and art while those in Africa were still living in grass huts.Product details

well pleased
Good summary of forgotten and neglected history.
Another short but powerful enlightening treatise on the illegal war perpetrated on the South. This looks at the subject of the Emancipation Proclamation. It was not the noble, "free the slaves" event that is generally taught.
This is what Frederick Douglas, the leading abolitionist of the day said,“I denounce the so-called Emancipation.” Douglass wrote “I admit that the Negro…has made little progress from barbarism to civilization, and that he is in a deplorable condition since his emancipation. That he is worse off in many respects, than when he was a slave, I am compelled to admit…”
This book goes on to explain that in a detailed way the even casts light on today's situation between the white and black races. Yes, it was hell... for everybody, for over 150 years!
Factual, informative, and very written. The key ingredients to a book that is well worth reading.
Excellent story and scholarship. If word of this gets out, that'll make three the nut jobs will start demanding be blown off Mt. Rushmore. Teddy Roosevelt must certainly have done something in his lifetime which warrants him being taken down...guess time will tell.
I had not really known that the civil war was more about states rights versus federal takeover. Lincoln 'freed' the slaves, but only in the South, in order to dismantle the economy. Blacks have suffered much since. I highly recommend this book for deeper understanding of race relations that go beyond the ignorant liberal mantra of "evil white man and slavery'.
A great book that exposes the REAL Lincoln as opposed to the myths that have been generated on this supposed "deity" over decades. The truth of Lincoln's real views on slavery and what the Emancipation Proclamation actually did as opposed to what it has been made out to have done. Hint, Lincoln's E.P. was a war measure that only addressed the abolition of slavery in the Confederate States (where he had no authority), but did nothing about slavery in the remaining United States (where he did have authority), leaving it legal there until the passage of the 13th amendment.
