Colonial Slavery (5/02)
Colonial Slavery

Ever wonder how and why slavery began in the United States? Or, whether the U.S. was where the practice of slavery started? You'll find the answers to these questions and many others in this issue on Colonial Slavery. Read how new laws changed slave practices. Meet archaeologists and historians who, by digging and sifting through records, are piecing together clues that are revealing just what slave quarters and slave burial grounds really looked like both in the South and in the North. Read, too, about slaves who won their freedom and became well-known personalities both in the United States and abroad. And, there's much more - so don't forget to join us!
