Description

Most accounts of US history point towards a foundational conflict between pro-slavery and anti-slavery interests. By 1776, influential American patriots widely acknowledged that slavery was morally wrong and incompatible with the republic's ideals. But a republic for whom? As Timothy Messer-Kruse argues, their real motivations have been misinterpreted for over 200 years. White abolitionists were primarily concerned with protecting and improving the white community - not the liberation of enslaved Black people. Their great conundrum was how to end slavery without introducing a significant Black population into that of their (white) republic. Messer-Kruse reveals how the founders' attempts at a systematic racial cleansing saw plans devised for the former slaves' banishment; through their physical removal to the western frontier or overseas and from their legal removal from the category of 'citizen.' Urgent and controversial, The Patriots' Dilemma breaks through the long-running debate about whether the founders fought or defended slavery. Ultimately, efforts to ethnically cleanse the emerging US polity of Black people failed due to the resistance of the Black community itself. Patriots came to embrace slavery both for its economic and geopolitical power and because they no longer believed there were other ready options for building a white republic.
