Abstract:
Under the leadership of Samuel Adams, patriot propagandists conscientiously kept the issue of slavery off the agenda as goals for freedom were set for the American Revolution. This book finds that the patriots avoided, misinterpreted, or distorted news reports on blacks and slaves, even in the face of a vigorous antislavery movement.
