Sellers concentrates on examining the social and economic aspects of how slavery operated in the state. After a brief discussion of slavery under imperial rulers of the colonial and territorial periods, Sellers focuses on the transplantation of the slavery system from the Atlantic seaboard states to Alabama. \u003cbr\u003e Sellers used the primary sources available to him, including government documents, county and city records, personal papers, church records, and newspapers. His discussions of the church and the slave, and his treatment of the proslavery defense, deepen the comprehensiveness of his study. His two sections of photographs are special touches showing former slaves and churches with slave galleries. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Benson Sellers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0817305947\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780817305949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Alabama Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.55h x 5.57w x 1.36d","brand":"James Benson Sellers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46199058399487,"sku":"9780817305949","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2d4a31c7-12b6-4541-9659-a471541ca7b1.jpg?v=1727924910","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/slavery-in-alabama-james-benson-sellers-9780817305949","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
