By examining how ordinary Virginia citizens grappled with the vexing problem of slavery in a society dedicated to universal liberty Eva Sheppard Wolf broadens our understanding of such concepts as freedom slavery emancipation and race in the early years of the American republic She frames her study around the moment between slavery and liberty emancipation shedding new light on the complicated relations between whites and blacks in a slave society This wellinformed and carefully crafted book outlines important and heretofore rarely examined changes in whites views of blacks and liberty in the new nation Combining a study of manumission documents with an investigation of the shifting public discussions over slavery Race and Liberty in the New Nation demonstrates that the high point of antislavery sentiment in Virginia occurred during the 1830s and not the Revolutionary period At the same time it shows how white Virginians attitudes toward blacks hardened during the halfcentury that followed the declaration that all men are created equal
