Kenneth Stampp The Peculiar Institution (1956) Slavery was harsh and abusive…but $$ Cruelty was a common aspect of coercing work Not much of a culture because there was no time/space Slaves resisted most in “little” ways

Stanley Elkins Slavery (1959) Psych/cultural impact of slavery Brutality of slavery similar to Holocaust Black families were destroyed by slavery Separation Strict legal codes Sexual exploitation Sambo created by slavery

Eugene Genovese Roll, Jordan, Roll: The World Slaves Made (1976) Slavery was a southern way of life Afr-Ams used passive resistance to control their lives, develop culture and remain “independent” Slavery was paternalistic and brutal

Ira Berlin Generations of Captivity (2002) Slavery evolved and was different during different times and in different places
