We think of Boston as a center of abolition, a beacon of freedom. But from its very beginning, it was bound up in slavery. Renowned historian Jared Hardesty traces the rise and expansion of slavery in Massachusetts from 1620-1760 and its central role in building the economic power and wealth of New England. An essential introduction to Enslavement: Bitter Beginnings and Resistance, 1629-1760.
