In their concern for the manners and morals of white society, she says, they anticipated many of the arguments to be employed subsequently by the opponents of slavery on both sides of the Atlantic. The second half of the book examines the development of slavery in Georgia during the quarter century before the Revolution, with special attention on the experience of black slaves in late colonial Georgia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Betty Wood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 082033149X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820331492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.61d","brand":"Betty Wood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926506471679,"sku":"9780820331492","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_305f3089-d95b-4c43-85c7-00e681553ef3.jpg?v=1681083458","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/slavery-in-colonial-georgia-1730-1775-betty-wood-9780820331492","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
