""Black America: A Study of the Ex-Slave and His Late Master"" is a historical book published in 1891 by William Laird Clowes. The book examines the social and economic conditions of African Americans in the United States after the Civil War and the abolition of slavery. Clowes, a British naval historian, traveled extensively throughout the United States to research and document the experiences of ex-slaves and their former masters. He examines the impact of slavery on African American communities and the challenges they faced in the aftermath of emancipation. The book provides a detailed account of the daily lives of African Americans, including their work, education, and social interactions. Clowes also explores the political landscape of the time, including the Reconstruction era and the rise of Jim Crow laws. Through his research, Clowes offers a nuanced perspective on the complex relationships between former slaves and their former masters. He also sheds light on the ways in which African Americans navigated the challenges of building new lives in a society that was still deeply divided by race. Overall, ""Black America: A Study of the Ex-Slave and His Late Master"" is a valuable historical resource for anyone interested in understanding the experiences of African Americans in the post-Civil War era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
