Leaders of the founding who called for American liberty are scrutinized for enslaving Black people themselves: George Washington consistently refused to recognize the freedom of those who escaped his Mount Vernon plantation. And we have long needed a history of the founding that fully includes Black Americans in the Revolutionary protests, the war, and the debates over slavery and freedom that followed.We now have that history in Edward J. Larson8217s insightful synthesis of the founding. With slavery thriving in Britain8217s Caribbean empire and practiced in all of the American colonies, the independence movement8217s calls for liberty proved narrow, though some Black observers and others made their full implications clear. In the war, both sides employed strategies to draw needed support from free and enslaved Blacks, whose responses varied by local conditions. By the time of the Constitutional Convention, a widening sectional divide shaped the fateful compromises over slavery that would prove disastrous in the coming decades. Larson8217s narrative delivers poignant moments that deepen our understanding: we witness New York8217s tumultuous welcome of Washington as liberator through the eyes of Daniel Payne, a Black man who had escaped enslavement at Mount Vernon two years before. Indeed, throughout Larson8217s brilliant history it is the voices of Black Americans that prove the most convincing of all on the urgency of liberty. 8 pages of illustrations<br>
