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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBETTY WOOD is a Reader in American History, Girton College, University of Cambridge.
