By Hands Now Known by Margaret A. Burnham isn’t just history — it’s evidence.
Jim Crow’s violence wasn’t “extra-legal.” It was the law.
Burnham exposes how courts, cops, and lawmakers built a system that made racial terror routine — and how its legacy still underpins American power

Bullock unpacks how drawing district lines shapes elections, representation, and power itself—showing why this quiet process is one of the most consequential in U.S. democracy.

I read inhuman bondage by David Brion Davis then Baptiste book followed by slavery by another name by Douglas Blackmon all great books
I read this right after reading Baptist’s “The Half Has Never Been Told,” and the combination stuck with me because of how thoroughly they demolish the myth that “slavery was an unprofitable and inefficient economic system.” Baptist’s book is more readable, but the Sublette’s are WAY more detailed.

It’s a very complete book. It shows how imperfect and greedy our founding fathers were. How irrational exhuberance drove slave the American economic and countries expansion. An the the corruption by people like Andrew Jackson and James Buchanan. Not to mention the forgiveness of the traitors
That book really opened my eyes too. The detail is unreal and so important to sit with.

#booknumber112025 The American Slave Coast by Ned & Constance Sublette is like pulling back the curtain on one of America’s most calculated atrocities — the slave-breeding industry. It’s both meticulous history and a necessary reckoning. Have you read it? What struck you most? #booksky #ushistory
