Online: Power of Voice Series: George Haris's Voice in the Slavery Debate
Apr 5, 2023
Presented by Ohio History Connection
Today it's easy to wonder how anyone could seriously defend slavery, but in the antebellum US plenty of people did just that. We'll look at how one Southerner, George Fitzhugh, tried to make the case. In contrast, we'll consider how effectively two moments of self-expression by George Harris in Uncle Tom's Cabin anticipate and counter Fitzhugh's arguments. We'll also consider the lights this debate she on controversial issues in the US today. Free with required advance registration. 800.847.6507
